Today marks the 26th anniversary of the homicide of Jason MacCullough.
On August 28, 1999, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Jason, 19, was found deceased on a paved path between 100 and 104 Pinecrest Drive in Dartmouth.
Investigators believe Jason was passing through the area while walking home and used the well-known short-cut between the buildings. There is no indication that Jason was involved in any type of criminal activity, leading investigators to believe his death was a random act.
The Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division continues to investigate the case.
Investigators believe there were several people in the area at the time of the homicide and strongly believe there were witnesses to the crime. Police continue to urge these people to come forward and share anything that they remember about this day, no matter how small the detail. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police at 902-490-5020; even the smallest piece of information could progress the investigation.
Jason’s case is part of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program which offers cash rewards of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible for specified major unsolved crimes. Callers must contact the Rewards Program at 1-888-710-9090, must provide their name and contact information, and may be called to testify in court. All calls will be recorded. The amount of the award will be based on the investigative value of the information provided.
