The Truro Police Service, in collaboration with the Ontario Provincial Police, has released a new age-progression sketch of Dylan Ehler, a young boy who vanished from his Nova Scotia home six years ago. The sketch, made public on May 6, 2026, marks the anniversary of his disappearance and aims to generate new leads in the ongoing investigation.
Dylan Ehler was last seen on May 6, 2020, in Truro, Nova Scotia. He was three years old at the time. Despite extensive searches and public appeals, no trace of him has been found. The new sketch, created by OPP forensic artists, depicts what Dylan might look like at age nine.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Dylan's whereabouts to come forward. The case remains a priority for the Truro Police Service and the Nova Scotia RCMP. The release of the updated image is part of a continued effort to keep the case in the public eye and encourage tips.
Investigation details
The investigation into Dylan's disappearance has involved multiple agencies, including the RCMP and the OPP. Police have followed numerous leads but have not yet determined what happened to the boy. The new sketch is based on family photographs and growth patterns typical for children his age.
Dylan's family has pleaded for the public's help in finding him. They have maintained hope that he will be found alive and have cooperated fully with law enforcement. The anniversary of his disappearance is a painful reminder of the unsolved case.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Truro Police Service at 902-895-5351 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
