A N.S. man missing for 30 years and his family’s mission to bring him home
Global News
The sister of Kenley Matheson, a man who disappeared without a trace more than 30 years ago, is hopeful that new leads in the case could provide some answers.
After more than 30 years of looking for answers, Kayrene Matheson just wants to bring her brother home.
A group of supporters joined Matheson and her mother for a march Thursday to honour her older brother Allan “Kenley” Matheson, who disappeared in 1992.
“We have a mission, which is bring Kenley home,” Matheson said.
Kenley, originally from Cape Breton, was 20 years old and two weeks into his first semester at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., when he vanished.
“It has been very difficult. Kenley and I were very close,” said his sister, who explained that they started at Acadia University together.
“I was straight out of high school, 18 years old, and he had traveled for two years, and so we were both first-year students,” she recalled.
“Within two weeks, he disappeared without a trace.”
According to RCMP, Matheson had travelled to Corkum’s Island in Lunenburg County with some friends for the weekend and had returned to campus on Friday, Sept. 18, 1992. He was at a party on the Saturday and last seen by his sister on the Sunday at Crowell Tower at the university.
