Garnier, who wasn’t in court today, is charged with second-degree murder and indecently interfering with a dead body in connection with the death of 36-year-old Catherine Campbell in September.
Campbell’s body was discovered Sept. 16 near an overpass that leads to the Macdonald Bridge connecting Halifax and Dartmouth.
She was reported missing two days earlier when she didn’t show up for work with the Truro Police Service.
