More than a month after the murder of Nova Scotia woman Esther Jones, her family continues to grapple with the loss.
Two days before Jones went missing, her sister Mary Harvey spoke with her.
“I got a phone call on Labour Day asking had I seen her and I was like, ‘No, I talked with her on Saturday.’ So I said you know what I better go over to the family and see what everyone knows.”
Unable to get a hold of Jones after 48 hours, the family called the police.
“She was independent so no one hovered over her. I was, like, she was just getting over our mother’s death two weeks before that, did she just need a break?” wondered Harvey.
It was unusual for Jones to be unreachable, but Harvey said that because the circumstances were unusual, they believed Jones would return home soon.
Jones is one of 15 siblings who live in different parts of North America. Throughout this time, the family kept up with information through group chats and email chains.
