In July of 2015, it was alleged that Dyer killed 48 year old Steve Munnings. The lynchpin testimony was to come from Dyer's estranged common-law wife, Michelle Brakeman. She gave police a statement that she saw when Dyer struck Munnings with a piece of stick and punched him several times. She said that Munnings was building her bathroom and she had gone to Munnings' house to get the keys for her house. She told police that Dyer followed her to Munnings' house and when Munnings came to the front step of his house to give her the keys, Dyer, in a jealous rage, attacked him and beat him. Munnings choked on his blood and he died on the spot. But the case for the Crown fell apart when Brakeman could not be located and consequently, Crown Counsel Ferguson entered a nolle pros, indicating that the Crown did not wish to proceed with the trial.
