Travis Vader eligible to apply for unescorted temporary absences in March
EDMONTON – The man sentenced to life in prison in connection with the deaths of a St. Albert couple will be eligible for unescorted temporary absences on March 13.
Travis Vader was convicted last year on two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann, who disappeared in July 2010. Their bodies have never been found.
The Parole Board of Canada says Vader has not applied for unescorted temporary absences and such applications can take about five months to process.
The board would consider sentencing comments made by the judge, a report from the Correctional Service of Canada and a review of Vader’s criminal record.
