    Partner Charged With Murder - Still Missing, Presumed Dead

    Nova Scotia RCMP have secured a property off an old logging road near Highway 103 in connection with the disappearance of Reita Louise Jordan

    Officers were in an area off Highway 103 between Hammonds Plains and Hubbards on Thursday afternoon, said RCMP. Ground search and rescue crews were expected to arrive on the scene Friday.

    Jordan was last seen almost three months ago by friends. The Tantallon woman has not been seen or heard from since.

    Paul Trevor Calnen, of Hammonds Plains, was arrested earlier this week and charged with second-degree murder and indecently interfering with human remains. Jordan is presumed dead but her body has not been found.

    Neighbours and friends have told CBC News that Jordan and Calnen lived together and were romantically involved, although Jordan's friends said the relationship was coming to an end.

    RCMP finished searching Calnen's property on Rising Sun Trail in Hammonds Plains on Wednesday.

    Police have charged a 50-year-old man with second-degree murder in connection with the disappearance of Reita Louise Jordan, who was last seen almost three months ago.

    Paul Trevor Calnen of Hammonds Plains was arrested on Brunswick Street in Halifax on Monday afternoon. He remains in custody.



    Calnen is due back in provincial court on July 22.

    Jordan, 34, was last seen on March 19 by friends. The Tantallon woman has not been seen or heard from since.

    Sources tell CBC News that Jordan and Calnen were romantically involved.

    Neighbours of the divorced father of two said they're surprised at Calnen's second-degree murder charge for killing his live-in partner.

    "He was an average guy. He was a plumber. He worked hard. As far as I know he was good to his family. I'm friends with his kids. I mean, it seemed like an average household. We were all kind of shocked when that happened," said neighbour Scott Hanko.

    "I thought she'd just went off to Toronto or Montreal and didn't talk to anyone anymore. Because Paul's not a violent guy, as far as I know, never hit anybody or done anything wrong," he said.

    It doesn't matter which country, there's always some bastard stealing mothers from their kids, family & friends over what always seems to boil down to possessiveness & petty jealousy.


    Missing woman's relationship was ending, say friends

    Reita Jordan's live-in partner Paul Trevor Calnen is charged with 2nd-degree murder

    Friends of a woman who disappeared three months ago say Reita Jordan’s relationship with her live-in partner, the man charged with second-degree murder in her presumed death, was coming to an end.

    On Tuesday, police laid charges against Paul Trevor Calnen, 50, of Hammonds Plains.

    Charles Sabean, a family friend, said the 34-year-old was about to leave Calnen before her disappearance.

    “There were other people who were assisting her to [leave Calnen], that her parents had never met,” he said.

    He said family members and friends are desperate for Jordan’s remains to be found.

    “She was full of hope and she brought hope to people. That’s hard to find,” he said.

    In addition to his second-degree murder charge, Calnen is accused of interfering with human remains “by burning,” according to court documents.

    Sabean said the thought of her body being desecrated disgusts him.

    “You don’t take something that’s loved and just — it’s a rag doll, gone, thrown away like garbage,” he said.

    Police finished searching Calnen’s home Wednesday, looking for clues in connection to Jordan’s disappearance. They’re also searching two other properties but won’t disclose where.

    This is from 2019.

    The Supreme Court of Canada has restored the second-degree murder conviction of a Halifax-area man who admitted to burning his girlfriend’s body but insisted he didn’t kill her.

    Paul Trevor Calnen was convicted by a jury of second-degree murder in the death of Reita Louise Jordan, 35, in March 2013.

    The man from Hammonds Plains, N.S., pleaded guilty to burning her body and scattering her ashes in a lake, but maintained he did not cause her death, claiming she accidentally fell down the stairs.

    The Nova Scotia Appeal Court decision said Jordan was living with Calnen at the time of her death.

    The sexual relationship, which appeared to have been fuelled by their joint use of crack cocaine, was coming to an end.

    Text messages revealed Jordan was planning to move out of Calnen’s home, and that there was a heated exchange between the two.

    Calnen claimed that Jordan took a swing at him in anger, missed, and fell down the stairs.

    He said he tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but decided she was dead.

    Rather than call for help, Calnen consumed crack cocaine and decided to remove Jordan’s body from his home.

    Over the following weeks, Calnen went to great lengths to destroy her body, burning it a number of times before scattering her ashes in a lake.

    Calnen was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years. He received a concurrent sentence of five years after pleading guilty to indecently interfering with human remains.
