December 31, 2024, Plymouth, Nova Scotia… The Southwest Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit (SWN MCU) continues to investigate the disappearance of Zachery Lefave. January 1, 2025, marks four years since he was reported missing.
On January 1, 2021 Yarmouth RCMP began a missing person investigation following the report that Zac did not return to a New Year’s Eve gathering he had attended earlier in the evening with friends. He was last seen walking on Hwy. 334 in Plymouth, Yarmouth County, at approximately 12:15 a.m. and to date has not been found.
Over the last four years, investigators with the SWN MCU have collaborated with partner agencies inside and outside of the RCMP to find Zac. Regional ground search and rescue (GSAR) teams have volunteered countless hours from the start. RCMP Police Dog Services, including an RCMP cadaver dog team from British Columbia, officers from RCMP Forensic Identification Services, various units from Yarmouth RCMP, Meteghan RCMP, Shelburne RCMP and Lunenburg District RCMP have all contributed to the search and investigation.
“Through a combination of statements and following up on tips and leads, our investigators have spoken with over two hundred people during the course of this investigation. The information and details provided have shaped where and how searches have taken place, and will support potential new search efforts going forward,” says Cst. Shawn Himmelman, lead investigator with the SWN MCU.
The RCMP Southwest Nova Major Crime Unit continue to investigate and seek any information that will assist in locating Zac. The RCMP would particularly like to speak with anyone driving or walking on or near Hwy. 334 between Arcadia and Wedgeport between the hours of 11:30 p.m. on December 31, 2020, and 3:00 a.m. on January 1, 2021.
At the time of his disappearance, Zachery Lefave was 21 years old, 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, with brown facial hair, brown hair and blue eyes. He is now 25 years old. He was last seen wearing a hat, plaid shirt and shorts.
Zac’s case is included in the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Reward for Major Unsolved Crimes Program. A reward of up to $150,000 is available for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the disappearance of Zachery.
