Dateline NBC will air an episode on Friday about the murder of an Edmonton man in 2015.

Dateline's Keith Morrison interviewed a number of people about Dwayne Demkiw's death and the lengthy investigation that followed.

"It was like a movie," a woman said in the Dateline promo. "It was crazy, it was like a movie."

Demkiw, 42, was last seen in the area of 149 Street and 128 Avenue around 4 a.m. on May 31, 2015.

His abandoned vehicle was found on fire in Calgary later that morning.

His remains were found nearly a year after his disappearance near Innisfail, Alta.

In September 2016, American citizen Jason Steadman was extradited to Canada and charged with first-degree murder and arson in Demkiw's death.

He was found guilty of first-degree murder on Feb. 22, 2019.

Demkiw's parents, Eugene and Angeline Demkiw, say Steadman showed no remorse during the trial.

“He's a cold-blooded killer. He has no remorse at all. When I did my victim impact statement and held up Dwayne’s baby picture, he showed no remorse to me as a mom," Angeline said in 2019.

The episode, titled The Case of the Man with No Name, airs at 9 p.m.
