Murder charge laid in case of missing Edmonton woman

Jul 23, 2019 | 8:11 AM

NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask.- RCMP in Saskatchewan say they have laid charges in the death of a missing Edmonton woman.

Mounties say 27-year-old Shayla Orthner, of North Battleford, has been charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, improperly interfering with a human body and theft of a motor vehicle.

The charges are related to the death of 25-year-old Tiki Brook-Lyn Laverdiere.

Laverdiere’s remains were found last week by a police dog in a rural area outside North Battleford as part of an investigation into her disappearance two months earlier.
