Johnstown, PA (WJAC) — A trial date has formally been scheduled for Johnstown man Brian Giles, who was charged last year in the death of his wife Nancy, following a 3-and-a-half year investigation.
According to online court records, jury selection for Giles' trial is scheduled for October 12 and 13th, with the trial scheduled to begin on October 16th.
Police charged Giles with criminal homicide last May, nearly 3-and-a-half years after his wife Nancy was reported missing.
Authorities say Nancy's body was found along the James Wolf Sculpture Trail in May of 2019, and Cambria County coroner Jeff Lees ruled her death a homicide.
Detectives say the lengthy investigation included interviews with several witnesses who had interacted with Giles since his wife was reported missing.
Investigators noted that during some of those interviews, police learned that Giles had made several statements about the crime scene and Nancy's death that "only the individual who killed her would have knowledge about."
Giles was also charged in a domestic dispute with another woman, Jilly Todaro, who was reported missing in December of 2020, and to date, Todaro has not yet been located.
