YARMOUTH, N.S. — The Yarmouth RCMP is continuing to ask the public for information that could help locate Zack Lefave who has been missing since Jan. 1.
In a media release the RCMP sent out on Jan. 27, the police say they are continuing to seek out people who may have seen Lefave before he went missing, in addition to people who may have information who could help with this missing person case.
The RCMP say they have followed up on information that was received on Jan. 25 and 26 in regards to the areas of Clyde River and Plymouth as part of this ongoing missing persons investigation.
“There is nothing to substantiate this information and the people involved are cooperating with police,” the media release stated.
It has been nearly a month of agonizing searching and waiting for Lefave’s family, his friends and the community at large, who are all desperate for information that could locate the young man.
Lefave was 20 at the time he went missing on Jan. 1. His 21st birthday was Jan. 3.
The RCMP say Lefave, who lived in Hebron, was last seen walking on Highway 334 in Plymouth, Yarmouth County, at around 12:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Earlier on he had been at a New Year’s Eve party.
Lefave is described as white, 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, with brown facial hair, brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a hat, plaid shirt and shorts/boxers.
The Yarmouth Rural RCMP are looking to speak with anyone who was driving or walking on the main road between Arcadia and Wedgeport (Highway 334) between 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 31 and 3 a.m. on Jan. 1. Plymouth falls between these two areas.
In the days after Lefave was reported missing an extensive search was carried out in Plymouth involving the Yarmouth County Ground Search and Rescue Team, along with search teams from Clare and Barrington. A helicopter asset was also used.
There have also been ongoing, exhaustive searches by many in the community, with people continuing to scour wooded areas, ditches, properties, etc. throughout parts of Yarmouth County in the hope of finding Lefave. Drones have also been used to record searches of areas.
A command base was also set up in Wedgeport to help coordinate volunteer community searches.
A cash reward exists for information that will lead to finding Lefave. Businesses and individuals have donated to that reward.
On Facebook, a page called Bring Zack Lefave Home has over 8,100 members. There are daily posts and pleas asking anyone with information about Lefave to share it with the RCMP, along with posts from the public expressing their ongoing support and prayers for his family.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Yarmouth Rural RCMP at 902-742-9106. If people wish to remain anonymous they can contact CrimeStoppers online or at 1-800-222-8477.
