A Nova Scotia mother is pleading with anyone and everyone for information that may help find her son.

Police say Taylor Samson was murdered, and they were still searching a property in Lower Truro Thursday night, but they have not found his body.

“I know it was a Saturday evening, I know people live there. I know people coming and going, just any tiny bit of information,” says Linda Boutilier. “Could have seen a couple of people sitting in a car in front of the apartment, anything.”

Eight search and rescue teams are now helping police scour a large property that includes woods, marsh and rolling hills.

“There’s nothing concrete,” she adds.

The Dalhousie University student was reported missing after he failed to return home from a walk.

A Dalhousie University student from Truro has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Samson.

Police arrested 22-year-old William Michael Sandeson outside an address on Leaman Drive in Dartmouth around 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Police have been searching an area in Lower Truro for three days, and neighbours say the Sandeson family home has been blocked off at both entrances of the driveway.

They’re not searching at night and they had to suspend activity temporarily Thursday because of thunder and lightning, but they say they expect to continue searching Friday and over the weekend.

“I wish they would find him you know,” says Boutilier. “You’re just in limbo right now. You don’t know. You don’t know anything.”

But she says she isn’t giving up hope yet.

“You don’t lose hope. You know most people think he’s gone, but I’m not losing hope.”

Still, she says if she has to accept the worse, she needs her son to be found.

“I can’t plan a funeral; I can’t plan a celebration of life. I can’t do anything right now without, without Taylor.”

She also says she is amazed at the support she has received from her son’s fraternity brothers, and hometown of Amherst.

“Did not realize how many people Taylor knew,” Boutilier adds. “The whole community up there, they’re in pain, they are. They’re in pain.” 

“He’s one of a kind. He really is. He’s one of a kind. We just want him back. We just want him back. That’s all we do. No matter the outcome, we just want him back.”
