This case is local to me. Christopher Beasley is being charged for the murder of the mother of his child, and their baby daughter is still missing and presumed dead. Absolutely devastating.

Police arrested Christopher Beasley, 33, on Tuesday at a St. Albert hotel.

He has been charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of indignity to a body. The second-degree murder charge pertains to the death of Egotik-Learn, police said.

RCMP believe Egotik-Learn was killed on Dec. 5, 2025.

“Investigations like this are a reminder that every successful investigation begins with a tragedy. A woman and her child should be planning tomorrow, not being mourned today," Stevenson said.

Beasley is the infant's father and was in a common-law relationship with Egotik-Learn at the time of the homicide, police said. Court records show that at the time of Egotik-Learn's death, Beasley was on probation for assaulting her last year.

Beasley received 18 months of probation after he pleaded guilty to assaulting Egotik-Learn in 2025. He faced three other charges involving Egotik-Learn, in early 2025, but they were withdrawn.

What a beautiful young mother and baby. What a loss for their loved ones

After discovering Egotik-Learn’s body, officers learned her nine-month-old daughter, Braylee Beasley, was missing. Since that time, they have been trying to find her.

Though the search is ongoing, police believe the young girl is likely dead, Stevenson said at the news conference.

Investigators have a strong suspicion of where her remains may be, Stevenson added without elaborating.
