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.

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.
