August 23, will mark the 1st anniversary of the disappearance of Peter Anthony Walsh.

Walsh, known as "Tony" to his family and friends, was last seen on August 23, 2019 in Truro. On the morning and afternoon of Friday, August 23, 2019, Tony is known to have driven to various locations including Millbrook, Truro and Debert. It was reported that he was last seen getting into a truck in the Truro area. His vehicle, a beige 1999 Chrysler Sebring, was later found in a business parking lot in downtown Truro. His disappearance was initially being investigated as a missing persons file, however, evidence led investigators to re-focus on the matter as a homicide.

On August 23, at 7:30 p.m., there will be a memorial walk to show support for Tony's family in Truro. The meeting place is at 966 Prince St. The family is asking those who are attending to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
