A New Brunswick woman who spent ten weeks on the run from police is making her first court appearance today.
Twenty-year old Marissa Shephard was arrested yesterday in Moncton.
She was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and a tip led to her arrest.
Shephard is from the Moncton area and is charged with first degree murder and arson in relation to the death of 18 year-old Baylee Wylie on December 17, 2015.
