Sunday marks two years since the disappearance of 22-year-old Zachery Lefave from Hebron, N.S.

Lefave was last seen walking down Hwy. 334 in Plymouth, N.S., around 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2021. He was talking on the phone at the time.

Nova Scotia RCMP continues to investigate the case.

“Over the last two years, investigators have followed up on numerous tips, and more information continues to come in,” reads a Saturday press release.

“It’s been really rough, just not knowing where he is,” his cousin Kimberly Morton said at the time. “He just was there the night before. He left his grandmother’s house New Year’s Eve night, told her ‘Happy New Year, gram,’ and that was the last of him.”
