JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Authorities with the Cambria County District Attorney's office say the trial for Johnstown man Brian Giles, who is accused of killing his wife, has once again been delayed.
Following a previous delay in the case, Giles was initially scheduled to go to trial next month.
Now, authorities say the case is delayed as Giles' defense awaits the results of a pending psychological evaluation.
In May of 2022, police charged Giles with homicide following a three-and-a-half year investigation into the disappearance and death of his wife Nancy.
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 in 2018.
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."
Online court records show that a status conference in the case is scheduled for April 1st.
