Rest in peace, Esther.
You are joining your mother in eternity.
May Esther's family and community find peace and keep many warm memories of Esther close to their hearts.

Thank you for the updates!

Victim and suspect have a familial connection - meaning it's a small town, they are not related, but their families are related. They seem close in age. Did she do something, perhaps related to her mother's estate, that he didn't like? Was she the executor?

He was on the run to Mexico but had passport issues in Houston. He has something about drunk driving and other history that is vanishing from the internet (links below). I'm unclear on whether he was flagged in Houston, but it sounds like it. Does he have a prior drug conviction? I suppose there were no direct flights on the day that he decided to flee to Mexico.

"Dale Allen Toole, 47, of Torbrook, has been fined for operating a motor vehicle while his ability to operate was impaired by alcohol.

Toole changed his plea to guilty on Aug. 30 ... $1,300 and a one-year driving prohibition. Toole committed the offence in Greenwood on March 19, 2016.

Missing Nova Scotia woman was killed, man facing first-degree murder charge: RCMP

HALIFAX — Police have accused a Nova Scotia man of murdering a woman who had been reported missing from the province’s Annapolis Valley, but whose body still hasn’t been found. The first-degree murder charge comes one day after U.S. authorities detained the suspect at an airport in Houston...

''He said police executed a number of search warrants at locations in and around Annapolis County, including in the communities of Kingston, Greenwood and South Tremont. MacFarlane said the investigators are working diligently to find Jones’s remains.

“We’re working with members of the community, members of the policing community and doing everything we can to identify and bring her remains home for her family,” he said during a news conference at police headquarters. The lead investigator declined to comment on the alleged motive, noting that proceedings are now before the courts.''

Kingston Bible College & Academy is fairly close (< 1km) to Bowlby Park Drive, where Esther's car was found. The suspect could have driven her car there and walked back to where his car was parked (assuming it was at the bible college).

So did Esther have a music studio at the College/Academy where she taught piano? The Academy is set fairly far back from Bridge St off a small dirt road. The perpetrator must have purposefully gone there as it isn't a place you would just be walking by.

I believe that this is the building where Esther's studio is and where she got into a struggle with someone, presumably the alleged murderer. According to a family member's FB page there is a growing tribute of flowers, dogs and drawings at the door to the building.
