Calgary, Alberta – After an extensive year-long investigation, Calgary Police have charged Shaun Alexander Folk, 47, with second-degree murder in connection with the disappearance and death of Christopher Stevenson. Stevenson, who was last seen in August 2023, was initially reported missing, prompting a thorough investigation by authorities.
The investigation led police to search a residence in downtown Calgary and a rural property on Range Road 293 in Rocky View County, Alberta. Evidence collected during these searches led investigators to conclude that Stevenson was murdered shortly after his disappearance last August.
Shaun Alexander Folk, now facing a charge of second-degree murder, is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. Police believe there may be additional individuals with knowledge of Stevenson’s murder, and they anticipate further charges may be filed in the coming days or weeks.
The news of Christopher Stevenson’s death has sent ripples through the community. Many have expressed their sorrow and condolences. One Facebook user, Mas Noori, shared their feelings: "So sorry for his family. This is so sad. When someone is missing, we still have hope that one day they will return, but when you hear that they will never return, that hurts and is painful. My condolences to his family and friends."
Authorities continue to urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward, stressing the importance of community involvement in bringing justice to Christopher Stevenson and his family.
