Man in stolen truck charged in death of partner west of Edmonton: police
Edmonton Police Service (EPS) found human remains after investigating a case regarding a missing woman.
The investigation began on Sept. 13 when EPS requested help from the public in locating 32-year-old Aylissa Rovere.
The EPS homicide unit took over the investigation because investigators believed Rovere to be a victim of foul play.
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.
