“A part of me was taken the day Taya was taken and it will never return,” Sinclair’s mother Lory told the court. Sinclair’s burned remains were found in a snow pile in Prince Albert, Sask., days after the 24-year-old went missing in March 2022. She used his phone to lure Sinclair to the apartment and beat her before locking her in the closet as well. Sinclair was later taken away from the apartment and the statement of facts says Crowe did not have contact with her again. Davis agreed with the Crown’s argument that Crowe played a central role in everything that happened to Sinclair and Bell.
