Travis Vader was handed a life sentence in 2017 on two counts of manslaughter in the killings of Lyle and Marie McCann. His sentence came with a parole ineligibility period of seven years.
Lyle McCann, 78, and Marie McCann, 77, were last seen alive on July 3, 2010. Travis Vader was convicted of manslaughter in their killings more than six years later. Nearly 15 years after Lyle and Marie McCann disappeared, Bret McCann tries not to think about what could have happened to his parents.
Vader's sentence came with seven years of parole ineligibility. The Parole Board of Canada is set to hear his application for day parole on Thursday. However, the hearing could be called off or rescheduled with no warning. The children are still too young to hear about why their great-grandparents are gone, the search after they vanished in the summer of 2010, the discovery of their burned-out motorhome and the unanswered questions about where they are.McCann plans to deliver a victim statement to the parole board hearing, with the same message he's repeated for years."And the one person who knows where they are, where my parents' remains are, has said nothing.
In 2019, the Alberta Court of Appeal rejected Vader's application for a new trial, as well as an application seeking a reduced sentence. The Supreme Court of Canada also decided not to consider Vader's appeal the same year.'Nightmare forever': Victims' family haunted as Travis Vader sentencing opensMcCann said unless he admits that he's guilty of killing his parents, he shouldn't be let out of prison.
