EPS acquired a search warrant to an address in Parkland County over the weekend where they discovered human remains.

An autopsy performed on Monday confirmed the remains belonged to Rovere, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Police did not release the cause of death as the investigation is ongoing.

EPS stated in a release on Tuesday that Rovere was in an "intimate relationship" with 34-year-old Collin Boucher-Gionet, who is now wanted for second-degree murder and indignity to a body in Rovere's death.
