Disappearance of Kimberly McAndrew

Kimberly Ann McAndrew (17 January 1970) was 19 when she disappeared from a shop parking lot in Halifax, Nova Scotia on 8 December 1989. The case remains an open unsolved missing persons case with an associated reward of $150,000.
Disappearance
On August 12, 1989 at 4:20 p.m. Kimberly McAndrew left her summer job at Canadian Tire Ltd early that day and walked into a parking lot crowded with Saturday shoppers—and vanished. The store was about a 15-minute walk from the apartment where she lived with her two sisters while attending Dalhousie University as an undergrad. In three days time she was scheduled to remove her silver braces from her teeth, an appointment she longed to have and one she wouldn't have missed.
Her disappearance and presumed death sparked provincial and national attention for more than two decades. The case remains officially an unsolved missing person case and is part of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program of up to $150,000.
Significance
Kimberley had the look of the girl-next-door and her disappearance shocked people throughout North America for over twenty years, with sightings by hundreds -- from New York to British Columbia -- have mistakenly reported seeing her. In response to her disappearance Halifax Regional Police formed a special task force with their major crime unit and lead a national wide search with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Case progress
Renewed interesting in one of Nova Scotia most investigated cold cases resumes in Shad Bay. RCMP will not say why they are at the home of Andrew Paul Johnson's brother. Officers searched the house and grounds for four days in March 2013 but did not find any human remains. Investigators have met with psychics for further evidence.
