The body of 21-year-old Goforth was found in an alley in September 2013.
23-year-old Bear was last seen in August 2013, but her body has not been found.

Eichler will go to trial in September for two counts of first-degree murder and offering an indignity to a human body– it’s alleged he had intercourse with Bear’s body after she had been killed.
He’s also accused of violently choking and raping a woman behind a home in a Regina industrial area in June 2012, but those charges will see a separate court case.
