Circumstances

Twenty-five years after he was last seen, Kenley Matheson’s mother has no idea what happened to him.

The 20-year-old from Cape Breton was attending Acadia University when on Sept. 21, 1992, he was spotted walking on Main Street in Wolfville. He hasn’t been seen since.

On Thursday, RCMP released an age-progression sketch of what Matheson might look like today.

In remarks contained in a RCMP news release, Matheson’s mother said not knowing what has happened to him has been devastating for the family. Sarah MacDonald urged anyone who remembers any details that might shed light on her son’s disappearance to come forward.

The RCMP said since Matheson went missing, there’s been no contact with family or friends, and no activity on his bank account.

RCMP have also outlined Matheson’s last known activities.

Police said in early September 1992 he travelled with friends to Corkums Island in Lunenberg County. He attended a party on the Acadia campus on Sept. 19, and was last seen by his sister the next day.

Someone reported to police they saw him walking on Main Street the following day. He was wearing jeans, a purple T-shirt and a ball cap, and had a red and black backpack.

The case was added to Nova Scotia’s list of major unsolved crimes in 2012. There’s a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in his disappearance.

The Government of the Province of Nova Scotia is offering rewards of up to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the disappearance of Allan Kenley MATHESON.

“Kenley” Matheson was a student at Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, in September 1992. He was in his first two weeks of university when Mr. Matheson traveled with some new friends to Corkum’s Island, Lunenburg County, NS, for the weekend. Mr. Matheson returned to Acadia for the upcoming week and on Saturday, September 19,1992, he attended a party on campus.

Mr. Matheson was seen by his sister and others at Crowell Tower (Acadia University) on September 20, 1992. On September 21, 1992, it is reported that he was seen by a friend walking on Main Street in Wolfville, NS. This was the last time anyone has seen or heard from Kenley Matheson. There has been no contact with any family members or friends and there has been no activity on his bank account since that date.

Police believe there are persons who have information that could result in an arrest and possible charges.

Any person with information regarding the person(s) responsible for the disappearance of Allan Kenley MATHESON should call the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program at 1-888-710-9090.
