RCMP not saying why missing Colchester woman case passed on to major crime unit

RCMP aren’t saying if anything in particular led the force’s Northeast Nova major crime unit to take over the investigation into a missing woman in Colchester County.

Cynthia Flemming, 32, was last seen Aug. 29 on Riverside Avenue in Bible Hill and was reported missing to police Sept. 1. The force announced Friday that major crime is now handling the case.

“The Northeast Nova major crime unit is leading the investigation, but that’s all I can say,” Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay said Monday.

He also said he couldn’t comment on why it was turned over so quickly. Generally, missing person cases don’t switch hands so quickly.

“Every investigation is different and depends on the circumstances, but as of right now all I can say is that it’s the major crime unit that is leading the investigation,” Tremblay said.

Over the weekend, there was a lot of discussion on social media platforms about Flemming’s disappearance. Tremblay said investigators are aware of those discussions.

“There has been a lot of Facebook activity that has been reported to us,” Tremblay said. “Anyone who does see additional information on Facebook is encouraged to send it to us or investigators.”
