The Nova Scotia Rewards Program has expanded to include two unsolved homicide investigations from Pictou County, according to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program.
Program Expansion
The cases of Kevin Martin and William Michael MacLean have been added to the province's Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program. This initiative offers a financial reward of up to $150,000 for information that results in a conviction. The program is designed to encourage public assistance in resolving serious crimes.
Case Details
Kevin Martin, aged 52, was found deceased in his home on Bridgeville Road in Rockfield on March 5, 2022. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service later determined his death to be a homicide. William Michael MacLean, aged 64, was found deceased inside his home on North Street, New Glasgow, on November 27, 2017. His death was also ruled a homicide by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service.
Purpose of the Program
The Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program aims to assist law enforcement agencies in gathering critical information related to cold cases. The addition of these two cases reflects ongoing efforts to resolve long-standing investigations and bring individuals responsible for serious crimes to justice. Information provided through the program is kept confidential.
Information Submission
Individuals with information about these or other unsolved major crimes are encouraged to contact the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program. All submissions are handled by law enforcement officials. The Nova Scotia Nominee Program emphasized that details provided by the public can be crucial in advancing investigations.
