Hours before police say she was brutally slain, Nadine Skow was supposed to visit her parents at their home in Beaumont, Alta.
She had just come back from a camping trip and wanted to see her three-month-old niece.
“But she had come back with a cold,” her mother Helen Skow said. “And so she didn’t want to come over.”
Nadine stayed home that Sunday night but kept texting her mother throughout the evening, asking for pictures of the baby. The next morning Harvey Skow, Nadine’s father, sent her a text.
Nadine never replied. Unusual for a woman who called her parents at least once a day.
Harvey and Helen kept calling Nadine all day Monday but the phone kept going to voicemail.
“And when it was still going to voicemail Tuesday morning, I said to Harvey, ‘there’s something wrong,’ Skow said.
Harvey Skow phoned Nadine’s co-workers at work and asked them to check on her. That’s when they discovered her body in her apartment near 106th Avenue and 104th Street.
Nadine had been stabbed multiple times. The killer allegedly mutilated her body by removing her organs.
Silva Koshwal, 38, Nadine’s ex-boyfriend, is charged with second-degree murder and offering an indignity to a human body.
