Police continue to investigate the disappearance of Kimberly McAndrew
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the disappearance of Kimberly Ann McAndrew and the Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division continues to investigate the case.
On August 12, 1989, at approximately 4:20 p.m., 19-year-old Kimberly McAndrew left the Canadian Tire store at 6203 Quinpool Road in Halifax where she was employed as a cashier. Kimberly was later seen at the Gardenia Flower Shop in Penhorn Mall in Dartmouth. At the time of her disappearance, Kimberly was wearing pleated navy slacks, a white short-sleeved “Esprit” t-shirt with red and green squares, a navy oversized cardigan, and jade green flat-heeled loafers.
Investigators believe that there are people who have information about what happened to Kimberly. We hope the passage of time will encourage them to do the right thing and share what they know with police. It is never too late to come forward and the smallest piece of information may be just what is needed to progress the investigation into Kimberly’s disappearance.
Anyone with information on Kimberly’s disappearance is asked to contact police at 902-490-5020.
Kimberly’s case is part of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program, which offers cash rewards of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for specified major unsolved crimes. Callers must contact the Rewards Program at 1-888-710-9090, must provide their name and contact information, and may be called to testify in court. All calls will be recorded. The amount of the award will be based on the investigative value of the information provided.
