The Disappearance That Shocked a Community

Devon Sinclair Marsman was last seen on February 24, 2022, in the Spryfield area of Halifax, where he was reportedly in the company of another teenager and his cousin. His mother, Theresa Gray, reported him missing ten days later. Initially, law enforcement stated there was no indication of foul play. However, in late June 2022, investigative reassessments revealed troubling information, which wasn't made public until October.

In a desperate move to gather leads, the Nova Scotia government significantly increased the reward for information regarding Devon’s disappearance, raising it to an impressive $250,000 as part of the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program, which was introduced in November 2022.
