HALIFAX – Twenty-five years after he was reported missing, Nova Scotia RCMP have released a sketch of what a former Acadia University student might look like in the hopes the public can help aid in the investigation.
Allan ‘Kenley’ Matheson was last seen by a friend walking on Main Street in Wolfville on Sept. 21, 1992 wearing blue jeans, a purple t-shirt, a red and black backpack and a ball cap.
He has had no contact with his family or friends since that day and there has been no activity on his bank account.
Matheson travelled with some friends to Corkum’s Island in Lunenburg County for the weekend the week prior to his disappearance, according to police, who said he returned to Acadia and went to a campus party the weekend of September 18.
He was then seen by his sister and others at Crowell Tower at Acadia University the day before his disappearance.
On Thursday, RCMP released an ‘age progression sketch’ of what Kenley may look like today as police said both investigators and Kenley’s family are asking for the public’s help with any information to assist in their probe.
Sarah MacDonald, Matheson’s mother, said in a police press release that it has been extremely difficult to move on not knowing what happened to her son.
“I believe someone out there knows something that may help piece together what happened,” she said in the release. “I’m urging anyone who remembers anything, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, to please come forward.”
The case has been part of the province’s Reward for Major Unsolved Crimes Program since 2012 and anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the RCMP at 902-679-5561.
Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
