Arrest made in relation to 2015 Creston murder case

RCMP say charges have been laid in relation to the death of Katherine McAdam, a 58-year-old Creston woman last seen on August 15, 2015.

Her remains were discovered in Erickson 12 days later, and the South East District Major Crime Unit have continued with their investigation since then.

32-year-old, Nathaniel Jessup of Creston was charged on Friday with Second Degree Murder and with offering an indignity to a body. The two are believed to have been casual acquaintances at the time of her death.

Jessup has been custody on unrelated matters since shortly after the incident.

We have worked hard to get to this point, but we recognize that the work is not over as we prepare now for the court process, states Sgt. Steven Rigby of the SED MCU. Our thoughts are with Katherine’s friends and family, as they too prepare themselves for court proceedings. Despite their grief at the loss of Katherine, they have been very supportive of our investigation and patient throughout this process, we will continue to support them as the process continues and only hope this arrest brings them some comfort, he continues.

Anyone who has not yet spoken with investigators but who had contact with either Jessup or McAdam in mid-August 2015 are asked to contact the South East District Major Crime Unit at 1-877-987-8477.

Jessup’s Court date is set for June 13, 2019.
