Woman charged with accessory in murder of Brayden Ferrall

Brantford police have charged a woman with accessory after the fact to murder in the death of Brayden Ferrall.

The 22-year-old's disappearance was initially considered a missing person case. Ferrall was reported missing in February after he failed to return home. He was last seen by friends Feb. 18.

By late March the case was transferred to criminal investigation detectives and police announced that foul play was suspected. In May his body was found on Campbell Road in Brant County and his death declared a homicide.

On June 9, Brantford police charged 26-year-old Kathleen Bacon, of Brantford, with accessory after the fact to murder.

Police have not released any other information about cause of death or any other suspects in the case.

The investigation is ongoing.
