UPDATE: Kelly Marie Kroeker's charge was stayed in February 2025. A provincial spokesperson said prosecutors made that decision after a thorough review of the case determined there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction. Charles Harold Wood later pleaded down to the lesser offence of improperly or indecently interfering with human remains, a court spokesperson said.
