FORT MACLEOD — A woman facing a charge related to the death of a senior in southern Alberta now has a lawyer.
Bobbi Jo Parks didn’t have legal counsel when she made her first court appearance in Fort Macleod last week.
But she was back Wednesday with lawyer Greg White, who had the matter adjourned to Feb. 29 because he had not yet received disclosure.
Parks is charged with obstructing a police officer in the death of Otto (Bunty) Loose, whose dismembered remains were found in a wooded area near Claresholm last month.
Timmy Engel, the common-law husband of Parks, has been charged with first-degree murder and offering an indignity to a dead body.
Engel also appeared in Fort Macleod court Wednesday via closed-circuit TV from the Lethbridge Correctional Centre, but it was on an unrelated matter.
Loose, who was 77, had been missing from his home in Vulcan for several days before his remains were discovered.
