The charge is on top of the original charge Reynold’s faces of committing an indignity to a body which means her body was moved.
His lawyer David Lutz tells us his client has chosen trial by judge alone and waved his right to a preliminary inquiry.
He says with respect to the charges he can only says that they have discussed everything that happened in considerable detail.
Jessica Ann Miller of Apohaqui was reported missing on July 12th and her body was found in woods off Highway 1 west of Saint John.
Jesse Edward Reynolds will appear before a Court of Queen’s bench judge tomorrow morning in Saint John at 9am.
Reynolds was first charged in this case three months ago after Miller’s body was discovered.
