Facing charges in the death of a 13-year-old local youth, Lloyd William Cook was scheduled to appear in Prince George provincial court today for a pre-trial conference.

A publication ban has been imposed on the proceedings which can involve determining what evidence is admissible for a trial.

Cook faces charges of manslaughter, criminal negligence causing death, indignity to human remains and forcible confinement in connection to the death of Adam Williams-Dudoward.

Williams-Durdoward was allegedly killed in January 2000 but the case was not brought to police attention until 2004 and Mounties subsequently began a secret investigation. It was not brought to public attention until just before charges were laid in 2009.

Cook's girlfriend at the time, Judy Elaina Williams, faces charges of failure to provide necessaries of life and indignity to human remains. She is next scheduled to appear in court on March 17.
