This morning, 53 year-old Joseph “David” Caissie of Bluffton, Alberta was arrested and charged in the nearly five-year-long investigation into the death of Carol King.
RCMP will not be releasing specifics pertaining to the investigation and subsequent arrest.
The last time anyone heard from Carol King was the afternoon of August 6, 2011. When later attempts to contact her were unsuccessful, the RCMP were notified and a missing person investigation was started. The Rosetown RCMP attended Carol’s residence near Herschel, Saskatchewan on August 6, but were unable to find any signs of Carol or her vehicle.
On August 10, 2011, RCMP Air Services conducted an aerial search and Carol's PT Cruiser was located approximately 2.5 kilometres east of her residence near an abandoned yard site, submerged in a body of water. The vehicle was recovered; although, no evidence of Carol's whereabouts were located. Extensive searches and neighborhood inquiries failed to provide information regarding her whereabouts.
On August 27, 2011, local residents found Carol King’s remains in a wooded area near an abandoned yard site approximately six kilometres from where the PT Cruiser was recovered.
Shortly after 10:00 a.m. today, Joseph “David” Caissie was arrested without incident near Saskatoon and charged with one count of first degree murder and one count of offering an indignity to a human body. Caissie will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Wednesday, July 20th, 2016 at 9:30 AM.
Investigators from multiple detachments and units, including Rosetown and Saskatoon RCMP, remained committed throughout the course of investigation.
RCMP would also like to acknowledge the public for their assistance: providing tips and participating in searches for Carol.
