A man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a woman who went missing from Wetaskiwin six years ago.
Twyla Evans, 39, was reported missing in September 2019 in Wetaskiwin where she was last seen alive.
Her death was ruled a homicide, even though her body was never found.
Mounties say 'recent developments' led to the arrest and charging of Stan Cross, 49, on Friday.
He is due in court on Tuesday in Wetaskiwin.
'Our Alberta RCMP Historical Homicide Unit is a team of dedicated and meticulous investigators who are working for those who can no longer speak for themselves,' said Insp. Breanne Brown in a statement. 'The Alberta RCMP does not stop investigating in these circumstances and our team continues to work to bring Twyla home. I can assure you that our investigators pour their hearts into these investigations and are committed to providing answers to victim's families regardless of how much time has passed.'
