The mother of a young Nova Scotia man who’s been missing for 20 years is hoping a new reward offered by the province may finally bring her some answers.
Allen Kenley Matheson disappeared from Wolfville in September of 1992, and police believe he likely met with foul play.
Now the province has added his case to a list of unsolved major crimes that offer a $150,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest.
Matheson’s mother, Sarah MacDonald, tells News 95.7 she hopes the cash will convince someone to come forward to tell her what happened to her son.
“I have carried him with me for 20 years, and I’ve done different ventures to see if I can find him,” she said. “So this is kind of a carrying-on of what I have been doing for the past 20 years.”
MacDonald says she could never afford to offer a reward for information about Matheson’s disappearance, and she’s hopeful the prospect of a sizeable cash reward will motivate someone to come forward.
“I just would really like for anybody that knows anything about him to go back to 1992, even what you saw, what you heard, just one little piece of the puzzle might connect the dots,” she said.
Matheson was last seen on Main Street in Wolfville on Sept. 21, 1992.
