‘Nothing can ever really bring justice’: Family speaks after guilty plea in Esther Jones homicide
The family of a Nova Scotia woman who was the victim of a homicide two years ago says the discovery of her remains still doesn't bring closure.
The family of Esther Jones, a woman from Nova Scotia who was murdered two years ago, has spoken out following the guilty plea of her killer. Judy Uhlman, Esther's sister, expressed her grief, stating that justice cannot ever truly be achieved for their sister's brutal murder. Esther was reported missing on September 2, 2024, and her remains were discovered on September 9, 2024, in a wooded area near Greenwood, N.S.
Initially, her disappearance had led to charges of first-degree murder being laid against Dale Allen Toole. However, Toole later pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Esther's siblings, along with their families, are determined to keep her memory alive despite the ongoing struggle to secure justice for their sister's tragic death.
