Travis Vader, the suspect in the disappearance of St. Albert seniors Lyle and Marie McCann, has been charged with allegedly forging an employment confirmation letter from a Nisku business.

New charges of uttering a forged document and obstruction of justice were revealed Wednesday during Vader's bail hearing on other charges.

In an attempt to Vader's release, his father Edward Vader told the court Travis would live on the family farm near Niton Junction, west of Edmonton, staying there 24 hours a day.

The Crown prosecutor asked Vader's father if he knew of another plan where Travis would live with his mother in Edmonton while working in Nisku, just south of the city.

Vader's father said he did not.

The prosecutor then showed the court a letter purporting to be from Roch Boisvert, the general manager of Westech Vac Systems, which stated that Vader would have a job if he was let out of jail.

The Crown then revealed Boisvert knew nothing about the letter when RCMP asked him about it.

Boisvert later told CBC he was shocked when police approached him.

"I just didn't expect something like that to happen to me," he said. "We don't associate ourselves with those kinds of people.

"We're a pretty respectable business."

Justice Sterling Sanderman denied Vader's bail request, stating that he would prefer to have him confined to a treatment centre for methamphetamine addiction.

Vader will appear on the new charges in Barrhead next month.

When reached by CBC News on Wednesday, Boisvert said he has never met Vader and did not offer him a job.
