Man Charged with Murdering Alberta Woman Who Hasn't Been Seen in Nearly Six Years

The Alberta RCMP arrested 49-year-old Stan Cross on June 20, 2025, charging him with first-degree murder in Twyla Evans' 2019 disappearance in Wetaskiwin.
The arrest followed a six-year investigation into Evans' disappearance after she was reported missing in September 2019 and never found despite exhaustive searches.
Evans was 39 and vulnerable when last seen in Wetaskiwin, and the Historical Homicide Unit described the case as particularly heartbreaking yet remained committed to pursuing leads.
Cross was taken into custody without incident, with his first court appearance set for June 24 at the Court of King's Bench in Wetaskiwin, as investigators thanked the public for support.
The Alberta RCMP continues to collaborate with Crown prosecutors while urging anyone with information to contact the Historical Homicide Unit, reflecting ongoing commitment to justice in this case.
