Hang glider pilot stays in jail until memory card passes through his system

CHILLIWACK, B.C. - The hang glider pilot whose passenger fell to her death over B.C.'s Fraser Valley remains in custody while a memory card he's alleged to have swallowed passes through his body

William (Jon) Orders appeared for just a few minutes in a courtroom in Chilliwack, B.C., only have his case put off until Friday.

A court document outlining the charge against Orders alleges he attempted to obstruct justice by swallowing a camera's memory card, which may contain evidence of the death of 27-year-old Lenami Godinez-Avila.

RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth says a series of X-Rays have been conducted that confirm the memory card is still inside Orders.

Orders' business, Vancouver Hang Gliding, offers tandem hang gliding flights, and his website notes customers can purchase photos and videos of their experiences.

Godinez-Avila and her boyfriend purchased the hang gliding trip in celebration of an anniversary.
