2 people charged in 2012 Edmonton homicide of Chad Swanson

Edmonton police have charged two men in the historical homicide of Chad Jordan Swanson.

Swanson was found dead in a black Chevy Tahoe in a cul-de-sac near 167 Avenue and 113 Street on the evening of March 29, 2012.

There was a visible bullet hole through the windshield, said police, who quickly determined the death was a homicide.

Over the years, police used IBIS and CIBIN — integrated ballistics network technologies — to advance firearm investigations and have now charged 54-year-old Kevin Terrence Collins and 51-year-old Nedralynn Dawn Collins with first-degree murder in relation to Swanson’s death.
