In a news release, SPS said Robin Tyler John, 34, was arrested on Thursday at a correctional facility on the Beardy’s and Okemasis’ Cree Nation. He had been serving a sentence unrelated to the homicide, according to police.

He has been charged with the unlawful confinement and aggravated assault of Gallagher.
The 30-year-old woman was reported missing in September 2020. SPS has been treating her disappearance as a homicide investigation since January 2021.
Cheyann Peeteetuce and Robert Thomas have each been charged with first-degree murder in the case and four others have been accused of offering an indignity to human remains.

Police anticipate more arrests as the investigation continues.
