A Vancouver man has been charged in connection with a nearly 17-year-old homicide investigation into the death of a Manitoba woman.
RCMP say they arrested Kevin Charles Queau, 42, Saturday and charged him with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Crystal Shannon Saunders.
The charge has not been proven in court.
“While investigators worked tirelessly and brought the investigation to a successful conclusion, at the end of the day, this does not bring back Crystal,” said Superintendent Rob Lasson, the officer in charge of RCMP’s major crime services.
Saunders was last seen in the late evening hours of April 18, 2007, getting into a vehicle in Winnipeg’s West End, but her body was discovered the following day by an off-duty police officer in a shallow ditch near St. Ambroise, Man.
Saunders was 24 years old at the time of her death.
At a news conference Monday, Lasson declined to reveal details of how Saunders died, noting it is crucial to the case.
