Hide AdJurors heard how her body was stored in a wheelie bin in the cellar of a house before being burned and then buried at a caravan park in Doncaster.
Miss Howells, 51, was last known to be alive on February 19 last year when she spoke to her mother on the phone.
She rented a flat in Harrogate but was known to have been staying with Tarbox and his wife at Independent Street, Bradford.
Around £3,500 in benefits continued to be withdrawn from her post office account despite Miss Howells being missing.
A new trial date has been fixed for November 23 this year.
Tarbox, 39, will remain in custody until the trial.
