‘We found our son’: Remains discovered near Sydney those of Justin MacDonald, says father

Human remains found Monday in a rural area south of Sydney, N.S., are those of Justin MacDonald, said the missing man’s father, whose tireless search for his son ended two days ago when he came across a familiar-looking shirt and sandal.

Ken MacDonald told CBC News in an interview he and another man were out searching on Morley Road around 5 p.m. when they spotted the items that matched ones belonging to the 34-year-old man. A skull was also found.


MacDonald said he’s confident “we found our son.”

“Right now it’s unofficial, but I got so many people behind us, so many people who supported us and so many missing people out there in the world, I wanted them to know [on] Monday night, after searching 322 days … we’re bringing Justin home,” he said.

On Thursday, the Cape Breton Regional Police Service confirmed the remains found were those of Justin MacDonald and his manner of death was a homicide.

Since his son’s disappearance last year, MacDonald has been searching continuously and posting on social media asking the public for information that could lead to answers.

Justin MacDonald was last seen on July 7, 2024, around 11 p.m. local time at the Irving gas station in North Sydney, where he appeared on the store’s security camera. His vehicle was found about 25 kilometres away in the Ormond Crescent area of Mira Road.

Police said in November they considered his case a homicide, though his remains had not been found. Three people were charged in the case the following month.

Ken MacDonald said his “emotions took over” when he found his son’s remains, and he called police right away.

Investigators have been on the scene since Monday, and a drone could be seen flying over the area Tuesday. Police have asked the public to stay away from the area while they carry out their investigation.

MacDonald said his son’s bracelet was later found at the site. It’s a unique bracelet gifted from a good friend with one side reading, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.”

“So without their [police] verification, we know 100 per cent,” he said.
