On August 12, 1989, 19‑year‑old Kimberly Ann McAndrew left her job as a cashier at the Canadian Tire on Quinpool Road, Halifax, at approximately 4:20 p.m., after being allowed to clock out early. She was later unconfirmedly seen purchasing a balloon and single rose at the Gardenia Flower Shop in Penhorn Mall, Dartmouth—nearly an hour away by vehicle. Despite extensive investigations—including traditional interviews, polygraphs, and even psychic tips—no concrete trace of Kimberly has emerged, and her case remains open, with reward offers still active.

Reddit users have highlighted the baffling nature of her possible sighting in Dartmouth and questioned why she would travel that distance just minutes before she was due to be picked up, sparking theories she may have accepted a ride from someone she knew or trusted.
