WINNIPEG – A woman accused of hiding the remains of six infants in a Winnipeg storage locker could spend the holidays behind bars after her bail hearing was delayed yet again.
The lawyer for Andrea Giesbrecht said he can’t go ahead with a bail application because the Crown has not shared a complete autopsy report.
Autopsy results are needed to determine how the infants died and how old they were, including whether they were stillborn, Greg Brodsky said.
Giesbrecht, who is 40, is facing six charges of concealing the bodies, along with unrelated fraud charges and a count of breaching a court order.

Brodsky said he has received a preliminary autopsy report and it doesn’t answer many of his questions.
A new bail hearing date has not been set.
Giesbrecht has been in custody since her arrest in October following the discovery of the remains by employees at a U-Haul facility. Police said at the onset it could take months of forensic examination before it’s known who the parents were, how the infants died and whether they were full term.
