Police said investigators believe that foul play was involved in Davidenas’ death, based on evidence they have, and that she was the victim of a homicide.
Steven Aaron Zwick, 26, of Airdrie, and Paul Joseph Rushton, 52, of Calgary, have each been charged with one count of first-degree murder.
In a news release on Friday, the Calgary Police Service said officers have been searching rural areas southeast of Chestermere for the past few days to locate Davidenas’ remains. The Calgary Search and Rescue Association (CALSARA) was called in to help with the effort after police narrowed down the search location.
