A vigil held earlier this year at the Saamis Tepee saw many individuals who knew the man describe him as a loving father and role model who was getting his life on track after experiencing financial hardships.

Details of the preliminary hearing can not be reported at this time due to a court-ordered publication ban.

Goodwill is scheduled to be arraigned and trial date set on Jan. 17, 2020 at Medicine Hat Court of Queen’s Bench.
