Meaghan was killed in her Florida home. Now her sister wants to bring her nephews to Australia

Madisson Bowler cherishes childhood memories with her older sister, Meaghan, filled with tennis matches, beach swims, and dreams of one day raising their own kids together. On Wednesday, the 27-year-old will travel to Florida’s Gulf Coast, where Meaghan lived for 2½ years before she was allegedly murdered by her American husband, Jesse Nicholas Jones, in a shocking domestic attack. Madisson is making the trip in a bid to bring up her sibling’s two young boys in the same nurturing environment she and her sister experienced.

Meaghan Bowler, a 32-year-old former tennis coach and photographer from Terrigal, was killed in the home she shared with Jones, 39, and their children, aged two and nine months at the time of her death in April. Jones called 911 the day after the alleged murder, telling an emergency operator he had stabbed his wife and had dumped her body in their bathtub.
