A three-week trial has been scheduled for next year in Calgary for an Alberta man accused of killing a teenage girl in 1976.
Ronald James Edwards, 74, of Sundre, Alta., is set to appear before a judge and jury on March 3, 2025.
Edwards is charged with non-capital murder — an offence in the Criminal Code at the time of Pauline Brazeau’s death.
Brazeau, a 16-year-old Métis mother from Saskatchewan, had relocated to Calgary with her infant daughter in the fall of 1975.
She was last seen leaving a restaurant one morning in January 1976, and her body was found hours later west of the city.
Edwards was arrested as a result of an RCMP historical homicide unit and Calgary cold-case investigation using genetic genealogy.
