Case Classification: Endangered Missing
Missing Since: June 8, 1979
Location Last Seen: Unknown. Missing from Amherstburg, Ontario.
Description:
Nevin departed from his residence in Amherstburg, Ontario on June 6, 1979. He was heading west for a two week vacation with intention to visit relatives, but none of his relatives had prior notification that he was planning to visit. He has never been heard from again.
At the time of his disappearance, Nevin was driving a 1974 white and maroon Dodge Coronet. It was later located in a ditch on the border between Rocanville, Saskatchewan and St. Lazare, Manitoba.
