CITYnews halifax / By Dan Ahlstrand

The RCMP is using the anniversary of the disappearance of Zachary Lefave to appeal to the public for information.  Lefave was last seen on New Year’s Day of 2021, around 12:15 a.m., walking along Hwy. 334 in Plymouth.  Police say he was talking on the phone at the time of his disappearance.

In the 3 years since the 21-year-old disappeared, RCMP says they have conducted ground searches of the area, with the assistance of the RCMP police dog services along with a police cadaver dog, but were unable to find Lefave.

In August of this year, the case was added to the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Reward for Major Unsolved Crimes Program, which offers rewards of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the disappearance of Zachery.

Anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is asked to contact the Southwest Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit at (902) 365-3120 or, to remain anonymous, contact Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or use the P3 Tips App.
