I am very sad for the family of DD, to learn that their missing loved one is indeed dead as they feared. Hopefully the discovery of his remains will yield other evidence that will help bring justice to his murderer. As always, one hopes there is a measure of peace in having the remains recovered and returned to the family. I wish the L/O families could have that same chance to recover the remains of their loved ones and lay them to rest.

He was last seen leaving his workplace in the area of 149 Street and 128 Avenue at around 4 a.m. Family members said he worked at Saint Pete's as a DJ. Several hours later, the 42-year-old’s black four-door 2002 Acura 3.2 TL was found on fire near 86 Avenue and Bonaventure Drive in Calgary.

In an interview in 2015, Demkiw's mother, Angeline Demkiw, described her son as a “reliable, honest, sincere, down to earth person” who had two teenage sons.

“This is not him. He’s never been in trouble with the law, with drugs, with alcohol. Never,” she said.

Canadian authorities claim ex-Seattle Times delivery driver Jason Steadman, 41, was living north of the border using the name of a missing man when he killed a romantic rival in 2015. That Alberta man was also missing, though Canadian media report he was found in April...

After the disappearance, Demkiw's friends found a machete sheath near the nightclub he drove from. Investigators say Steadman's DNA was found on a cap left near the sheath...

Still photos captured from [surveillance] video were shown to Demkiw's ex-wife, who identified the man pictured as a recent boyfriend who blamed Demkiw for their relationship's failure. She identified the man as Robert Aubrey-Maxwell, though police believe he was, in fact, Steadman.

Facial comparison software and DNA in a chewed piece of gum helped lead Edmonton homicide investigators to an American fugitive who had been living under a stolen identity in Canada and is now charged with first-degree murder in the death of an Edmonton limousine driver.

Investigators say Jason Steadman, 41, had assumed the identity of 27-year-old Robert Aubrey-Maxwell, an Ontario man missing since 2012. Mr. Aubrey-Maxwell still has not been located, but his grandmother, Judy Bateman, said police told her, “it doesn’t look good for my boy”...

She added that police showed her a picture of her grandson and one of Mr. Steadman, and the two men “looked like twins,” except for their eye colour.

Accused murderer of Edmonton man faces Seattle judge for extradition
Jason Steadman is also accused of stealing an identity and sneaking back into the U.S. on a Sea-Doo

By Janice Johnston, CBC News Posted: Jul 28, 2016

He lived in Edmonton under a false identity and allegedly killed a man when he was here.

Now, on Thursday morning, Jason Steadman will appear in front of U.S. federal Magistrate Judge Brian Tsuchida to face possible extradition to Canada.
Tsuchida's will have to decide if evidence gathered by Edmonton police is strong enough to support a likely conviction on a charge of first-degree murder and arson. The standard is much lower than the proof beyond a reasonable doubt demanded at criminal trials.

Steadman is accused of killing Edmonton man Dwayne Demkiw, a truck and limousine driver, in May 2015. He's also charged with arson after allegedly setting the victim's car on fire.

To support the extradition request, a thick stack of documents has been filed with the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The application has been authenticated by the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman.

Wow, what a story. I can't find anything in the media about the missing man Robert Aubrey-Maxwell, other than in connection with this case.

Exclusive
Jason Steadman, awaiting extradition to Edmonton, has troubled and violent past
Ex-wife once granted protection order after telling court Jason Steadman threatened to kill her

By Janice Johnston, CBC News Posted: Aug 01, 2016

Accused killer Jason Steadman was a dead-beat father who refused to pay child support, a violent man who once threatened to kill his wife.

Now awaiting extradition from the United States to Edmonton, where he faces a first-degree murder charge, Steadman has a lengthy criminal record and a history of domestic abuse, according to court documents obtained by CBC News.

Those records paint a picture of the tumultuous and troubled life Steadman lived in Seattle, Wash., in the years before he fled to Canada

In March 2010, Jason Steadman was given a two-year jail sentence for sending threatening hoax letters to his former employer, and for another hoax that involved a a pipe bomb.

He was released on probation in September 2010.

He obtained new photo ID and began to use the other man's name.

Everyone who encountered him in Edmonton over the next two and a half years knew him as Robert Aubrey-Maxwell.

At some point, Steadman began a romance with an Edmonton woman

.

After their relationship fell apart, the woman remained close to her former partner, Dwayne Demkiw. Steadman may have viewed Demkiw as a romantic rival and blamed him for the demise of his relationship.

Police allege that Steadman attacked Demkiw, 42, with a machete in May 2015. They say the motive may have been jealousy.
