Travis Vader is expected to learn his fate today when Alberta Court of Queen's Bench Justice Denny Thomas delivers his decision on whether or not he's guilty in the murders of Lyle and Marie McCann. The McCanns were last seen on July 3, 2010, when they left their St. Albert, Alta., home to travel to B.C. Vader, 44, a former drug addict with a long record of petty crimes, was soon named a suspect in the case. In closing arguments, the Crown said the couple likely died sometime between noon and 2:14 p.m., when evidence shows Vader used the McCanns' cellphone to contact his then girlfriend. During the trial, the Crown submitted DNA evidence the prosecution insists ties Vader to the SUV the McCanns were travelling in.
