Man Charged in Edmonton Woman's Murder

0:00A 47-year-old man faces second-degree murder charges in the death of 29-year-old Marika Mika Sutton from Edmonton. She was last seen in the Mill Woods area, back in August, and reported missing on September 25. Police believe she was killed by her intimate partner, who has a history of domestic violence against her. Investigators think her body was dumped along Highway 2, between with Taskywin and Lakom, sometime between August 22 and 29. Last week, Edmonton homicide detectives flew to Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island to arrest the suspect, John Angus Joseph MacArthur. They brought him back to the city on March 20, and he's still in custody. The case highlights why police held off on public alerts early on to keep the investigation tight and ensure the arrest went smoothly. Multiple teams pitched in, including Edmonton's drug and gang unit, Calgary Police, and local officers in Charlottetown. No remains have turned up yet, but they're focusing on that highway stretch.

1:01The suspect drove a Black 2014 G Patriot, with license plate Charlie Fox Bravo, 2578, and police want tips from anyone who saw it parked oddly in the area back then. Landowners and hunters nearby should stay vigilant too, as the search continues, with hopes that public eyes will help bring closure to Mika's family.
