The RCMP in Nova Scotia continue to seek answers into the suspicious disappearance of a man who went missing in Truro, N.S., last year.

Zachery Kellock left his home in Truro in a vehicle with two other people around 4 p.m. on Jan. 14, 2024.

His family reported him missing to police two days later after he didn’t return home.

The Truro Police Service was initially leading the investigation, until police learned Kellock was last seen in Millbrook First Nation after leaving his home, which led to the RCMP to take over the case.

Investigators believe criminality is a factor in his suspicious disappearance.

At the time of his disappearance, police described Kellock as being five-foot 10 and 159 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark grey leather jacket. Kellock was 23-years old at the time he disappeared.

“A missing person investigation leaves so many unanswered questions for the missing person’s loved ones,” says Cpl. Jennifer Tichonchuk, with the Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit.

“We believe that there are people who have the information that will help us answer these questions about Zach, and we ask that they reach out to police or to Crime Stoppers to share what they know. Even the smallest detail may make a big difference as we continue the investigation.”

Police are asking anyone with information on Kellock’s whereabouts to contact the Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit at 902-896-5060 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
