As a result of ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Kenneth “Justin” MacDonald, Cape Breton Regional Police are now treating this case as a homicide.
Justin MacDonald – described as 5’9” tall and 240 pounds, with sandy blond hair and blue eyes – was last seen on July 7th, 2024 at approximately 11 PM at the Irving gas station located at 183 Commercial Street, North Sydney, where he was captured on store video.
