The Murder of Rhoderie Estrada

A dedicated nurse. A devoted mother of three. A family home that should have been the safest place in the world.

In 2018, Gerald Aquintey arrives home after a late night working to find his Toronto house in disarray. The respected Filipino chef and restaurant co-owner runs upstairs to discover his beloved wife, Rhoderie Estrada, has been brutally murdered.

She was loved by all who knew her, and they had built a life centred on family, community and caring for others.

As investigators race to find the person responsible, the painstaking work of forensic specialists becomes the key to solving a heartbreaking crime that might otherwise have remained a mystery.

Special thanks to Gerald Aquintey and family.

Thanks also to Detective Constable Adrian Piccolo with the Toronto Police’s Forensic Identification Services Unit, Constable Don Laurel, and the Ontario Forensic Investigators Association.
