A little over a year after a Saskatoon woman’s remains were in an area south of Prince Albert’s Alfred Jenkins Field House, police have confirmed a second arrest in the case.

Chelsey Crowe, 33, was arrested on Tuesday while in custody on other, unrelated matters. Crowe is now charged with manslaughter, unlawful confinement, and assault causing bodily harm in relation to Taya Sinclair’s death.

Crowe, who was scheduled to appear Wednesday at Saskatoon Provincial Court, is also charged with unlawful confinement and aggravated assault involving a second victim.

Taya Sinclair, 24, was initially reported missing by Saskatoon police on March 16, and the following day her remains were discovered in Prince Albert’s snow dump area, southeast of the Alfred Jenkins Field House. Police said her remains had been burned.

In January, members with the Prince Albert Police Service’s Criminal Investigation Division charged 25-year-old Stephanie Halkett-Stevenson with First Degree Murder, aggravated assault, unlawful confinement, and uttering threats in relation to this investigation.
