Millard, 28,and25-year-old Mark Smich,also charged with first-degree murder in the case,are set to appear in court via video before a judge in Hamilton Thursday afternoon.

Burned human remains were previously located on the farm, and investigators said they were confident they belong to Bosma.

Toronto police say the current search, which first got underway Monday,is in relation to the the disappearance of Toronto woman Laura Babcock.

Babcock, 23, had a relationship with Millard, police have said, and was reported missing in June 2012.

Babcock's cellphone records show Millard was one of the last people she called before she went missing.

The search this week began on Monday and has focused on a barn on the property. Investigators have removed planks of wood and all hay from the barn.

Forensics, homicide and drug unit officers wearing protective clothing have been going in and out of the barn.
