Prince George, B.C.- It has been just over 13 years since 13 year old Adam Williams-Dudoward died in his mother’s Glenview Drive home in Prince George. His death was reported to police 4 years later, and   while  some of his remains were recovered in 2004, the balance  of his remains were not  recovered until 2007.  He had been buried  in a remote spot off North Nechako road.

 

Today, the man accused of manslaughter in Adam’s death, Lloyd Cook,was to hear the  judge’s  detemination in the case  as well as  possible sentencing but  Cook was a no show.

 

Cook’s lawyer says he received a text message  from  his  staff  just 40 minutes before Cook was to be in Prince George, saying Cook had advised them he was at the side of the road in Williams Lake, waiting for  someone to wire him money to have the fuel pump in his vehicle repaired.

 

Crown   requested that a  warrant be issued for Cook’s arrest  and  that  he be delivered to the Prince George Courthouse.  With current road conditions,and if Police are able to find him ,  it  is possible that  Cook could be delivered to P.G as early as this afternoon but more likely he would  arrive some time tomorrow.

 

Cook has been on trial  on four counts:

 

Manslaughter, Criminal negligence causing death,Unlawful confinement and Interference with a dead body.

 

Cook’s lawyer says he expects his client will be found guilty on  at least one if not more of the four counts,  and that he  expects Mr. Cook will be  sentenced to jail time.

 

 

Lloyd Cook was living with Adam’s mother, Judy Elaina Williams and Adam’s younger brother when   Adam died. Adam’s mother pleaded guilty to  interference with a dead body and is serving two years house arrest.
