I'm surprised there is no statute of limitations on a traffic accident.
With that much obvious damage, and all the effort to hide the car, that looked unrepairable, why did he not just cut it up?
Who gets the $50K reward?
Regardless, I'm happy for the break in the case.

Is that true for the hit and run aspect, or any traffic accident?

So accident causes the fatal injury, that is not a felony based on evidence shared so far, correct?
The hit and run is a felony, but that did not cause the accident nor the fatality, and is after the accident, and I suspect the injury initially was fatal based on the pictured cars damage.
I am of course assuming the driver did not hit the boy intentionally, nor was rip roaring provable drunk, and not during an armed robbery getaway, etc.
Wonder how they are putting this accused behind the wheel.
Don't mis understand my skepticism here, if I can ask it, so can a defense lawyer, I'm sure much of the above is settled law, but I haven't a clue what it is.

Hit and Run in Canada is a Criminal Offense. It can be charged as a Summary or an Indictable Offence. There is no Statute of Limitation on Indictable Offenses here.

crazy. no one knew that this clown dove a white neon that he all of the sudden wasn't driving. and seriously living with that for so long? couple has no conscience i guess. and why sit on the car so long. cut that [censored] up and dispose of it slowly if you were gonna do what you did. my guess is the driver was drunk when he hit the kid.

Some of the comments are saying the car wasn't registered to them, but after the crash they quickly bought another one and placed it in their driveway. Not sure how true that is

So who turned them in?
"Acting on a tip"

Here's an update to this story and it's bizarre:

Takes a special kind of stupid, heartless, etc., person to buy a duplicate of the car involved in the accident, swap plates and the VIN, to hide what they did.

Mike.

There's probably a lot of details that won't surface about this.

Someone must have seen something when the accident first happened otherwise, how would the police have known a white 1995-1997 Neon was involved? That's pretty specific info.

I think they will get more then a slap on the wrist. Not only the severity of the crime but all done to hide it. Overall it seems just not too smart of a pair from the start.

The last article had their sentences.

David Alexander Halliburton, 56, pleaded guilty to failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm or death, and obstructing justice. He was sentenced to two and half years behind bars. His sentence also includes a three-year prohibition on driving and a condition that he must submit DNA to a database.

Anastasia Marie Halliburton, 54, who helped hide the vehicle, pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and was given a six-month conditional sentence, including four months of house arrest and two months of curfew. She must also complete 200 hours of community service.

I think they got off too light but there is a lot of things that time hid from the prosecution. Was the driver drunk? Was there malice or just an accident? etc. All of that and more could only be revealed if the driver or family was honest but he\they have proven they aren't capable of being honest.

They are sick and terrible people in my book.

Slap on the wrist.

There ought to be a penalty interest multiplier for those who actively evade justice over time, just like penalties for paying the IRS late.

THOSE ARE TWO PIECES OF 💩 RIGHT THERE!

They are not only pieces of schit,but they are dumb pieces of schit,to not have disposed of the other car! They truly deserve far worse than the punishment they got!
