The news landed like a blow. Family members of Henry Neudorf, a Tilbury man whose life was tragically cut short, were stunned to learn a woman accused in his death had been granted bail.
Kimberly Price, 54, now awaits trial next year on a charge of first-degree murder. The decision to release her, with specific conditions attached, was made during a Superior Court hearing conducted remotely on Tuesday, leaving Neudorf’s family reeling.
Henry Neudorf’s body was discovered on Town Line Road, near Pain Court, on January 12th. The discovery sent shockwaves through the community and initiated a complex investigation that continues to unfold.
Justina Gilbert, Neudorf’s youngest sister, expressed her devastation and anger. She felt betrayed by a system she believed would prioritize keeping the family informed and prepared for such a critical juncture in the legal process.
The family’s frustration stemmed from a lack of notification. Margaret Froese, another of Neudorf’s sisters, echoed Justina’s sentiments, emphasizing the pain of being excluded from the proceedings.
They learned of the bail hearing almost by chance, through a mutual acquaintance of Price’s family. Had it not been for the ability to join the hearing via teleconference, they would have been completely unaware it was happening, feeling utterly blindsided.
This wasn’t an isolated incident. Gilbert revealed that the family had previously been forced to repeatedly contact the Crown’s office to obtain information regarding her brother’s case, highlighting a pattern of feeling left in the dark.
Price’s release marks the latest turn in a case that has already seen significant developments. She was initially one of three individuals charged with first-degree murder in connection with Neudorf’s death.
David Trealout, 35, previously accused alongside Price, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder in September. He is scheduled to return to court in December for sentencing.
Darin Noland, another co-accused, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder in September. He received a sentence of time served for the 227 days he spent in pre-trial custody, along with two years of probation, and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
As the legal process continues, Kimberly Price is now scheduled to face trial on November 9, 2026 – a date that feels distant and agonizingly slow for a family still grappling with profound loss and unanswered questions.
