Homicide of 19-year-old Jason MacCullough under investigation after 21 years

Friday marks 21 years since Jason MacCullough was found dead on Pinecrest Drive in Dartmouth, N.S., and police say they continue to investigate.

Police say there is no indication MacCullough was involved in criminal activity and believe his death was a random act.

They believe the 19-year-old was walking home and used a well-known short-cut between the buildings.
