Man charged with murder of partner after remains found west of Edmonton

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has found human remains after investigating a case involving a missing woman.

The investigation began on September 13 when EPS asked for the public’s help in locating 32-year-old Aylissa Rovere.

The EPS homicide unit took over the investigation because investigators believed Rovere was the victim of foul play.

EPS obtained a search warrant at an address in Parkland County over the weekend where they discovered human remains.

An autopsy performed Monday confirmed the remains belonged to Rovere, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Police have not released the cause of death as the investigation is ongoing.

EPS said in a statement Tuesday that Rovere had an “intimate relationship” with Collin Boucher-Gionet, 34, who is now wanted for second-degree murder and indignity to a body in Rovere’s death.
