Jones, 55, was reported missing from Torbrook, N.S., in Annapolis County, on Sept. 2, 2024, and was last seen at the Kingston Bible College in Greenwood two days earlier.
On Sept. 13, 2024, RCMP revealed that their investigation into Jones’ disappearance had identified enough information to lay a charge of first-degree murder against Dale Allen Toole.

Jones’ remains were found on Sept. 9 in a wooded area in Cloud Lake, south of Greenwood, N.S.
