Travis Vader, who killed a St. Albert couple in 2010, was denied day parole at a hearing Thursday, Dec. 12, according to media reports.
A two-member panel of the Parole Board of Canada found Vader, who maintains his innocence, has failed to be accountable for his role in the deaths of Marie and Lyle McCann on July 3, 2010, according to CTV News.
They said he would pose an undue risk to the public at this point in his life sentence with no possibility of parole for seven years, which was handed down in January 2017.
Vader's fingerprints and DNA were found in an SUV the McCanns were towing with their RV, both of which were found burned out near the Minnow Lake campground outside Edson, in the part of western Alberta where Vader lived. Their bodies are still missing and it has never been established how they died.
"Our pain is everlasting," son Brett McCann said at the hearing, held at a prison in British Columbia. "No body, no parole."
