Twenty years ago the body of 27-year-old Christine Marjorie McLean was discovered. She was found lying in bushes a short distance from a gravel road leading to the new water treatment construction site located off Highway 7 in Cherrybrook.

The investigation revealed that McLean had been reported missing to Halifax Regional Police on April 14, 1998. That she had last been seen alive on April 4, 1998. Evidence at the scene indicated that she was killed at some other location. Her body was transported to the above location and dumped there by the suspect(s). Police believe there are persons who have information that could result in an arrest and possible charges.

“Someone knows what happened to Christine twenty years ago,” says Cpl. Troy Murray of the Cold Case Unit of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division. “It’s time to come forward and talk with police.”
