TORONTO - There are still no leads in the case of an eastern Ontario scientist who disappeared without a trace last month, leaving his colleagues mystified. Lachlan Cranswick hasn't been seen since Jan. 18, when he left work at the National Research Council's Canadian Neutron Beam Centre in Chalk River, northwest of Ottawa.
His nearby Deep River house was reportedly left unlocked and his car was in the garage. His wallet, keys and passport have all been accounted for......

Tehran: An Iranian nuclear scientist who went missing in Saudi Arabia has landed up in a US jail, Mehr news agency said Tuesday quoting a senior official, as Tehran urged Western powers to show they can be trusted.
Foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told Mehr that the scientist, Shahram Amiri, was handed over to US officials by Saudi Arabia and is one of 11 Iranians being held in US jails.

Norwich, Conn. -- Police arrested a Norwich couple Thursday on murder and robbery charges in connection with the unsolved 2004 death of New Hampshire scientist and author Eugene Mallove, who was found beaten and stabbed in the driveway of his Norwich rental property.
Candace L. Foster, 30, with last known address 35 Chestnut St., Apt. 402, in Norwich was charged with accessory to murder, first-degree robbery and felony murder. Chad M. Schaffer, 32, of 34-36 S. Second St., No. 2, in Taftville was charged with murder, felony murder and first-degree robbery......
Interesting how nobody thinks that LC could be living a whole brand new life almost anywhere right now, of his own free will..... but people suspected this man was capable of doing so....
AND now I am very curious why the Western MSM appears to avoid mentioning the MOIS, apparently at all costs.
Anyway, IF there is serious suspicion that Iran's Ministry of Information & Security has nabbed Lachlan Cranswick, THAT, in itself, would explain why there has been so little reportage about this physicist disappearing.
Interestingly, one of the Anglican Cranswick bishops of an earlier generation sent many Christian missionaries to Iran.
No idea about Dr. Lachlan M.D. Cranswick’s mysterious disappearance!
>>>>”AND now I am very curious why the Western MSM appears to avoid mentioning the MOIS, apparently at all costs.”
As for Western MSM, like I said in a previous recent thread: “I think, maybe, MSM and others see MOIS as an entity more “internal” to Iran & Iranians, which concentrates on “terminating” Iranian dissidents. But, the mandate & actions of MOIS are really much more Global than that.”
I've never considered them "internal" - I've always considered them and the Iranian Republican Guard to have a globalwide reach, but maybe the MSM considers the term Hezbullah as all inclusive, to refer also to its sponsor the MOIS??
Anyway, Stratfor frequently points out that when ONE intel agency does something, that the automatic response is for the intel agency of the other country to replicate in kind.
And therefore I don't find it in the least conspiratorial to wonder if LC was kidnapped and shipped away on the 'Tehran Express.'
Some clarifications:
The Baseej (also spelt Basij) para-military (militia), which falls under the command of IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp) are also known as “Ansar_e Hezbollah”. Not the same Hezbollah in the Lebanon, but same ideology & a line of command linked to the Supreme Leader of IRI in Iran.
The basis for MOIS (aka VEVAK) was SAVAK (the organization, which was created during the Shah’s era).
MOIS is distinct from the Baseej (Ansar_e Hezbollah) in that MOIS, shortly after its creation under the Khomeinist (IRI) Regime in Iran, evolved and became an Intelligence & Security Agency, the equivalent of Mossad or the CIA.
MOIS is said to be responsible for eliminating Iranian Political dissidents particularly outside Iran. It is also responsible, for example, for infilterating various Iranian Political groups, collecting intelligence, and feeding disinformation both inside, and particularly outside Iran.
>>>>”I don’t find it in the least conspiratorial to wonder if LC was kidnapped and shipped away on the ‘Tehran Express.’”
Very possible.
Sorry if I am not being too lucid at the moment. It is late at night here. More on this perhaps tomorrow. :)

trivia: that was the week Obama made his grand tour of the Middle East and that butt-sucking speech in Cairo.
That's also the week two female American "journalists" linked to Al Gore & Joel Hyatt were sentenced to 12 yrs imprisonment in North Korea for "unspecified hostile acts." Their border crossing stunt apparently weakened South Korea at the negotiating table.
RE: Canada - Lachlan Cranswick, 41, Deep River near Ottawa ON, 18 Jan 2010 - #4 (http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105966)
After reading Lachlan's blog, I always go back to the nano technology section. Seemed he was most upset over nano in the way of science/government money etc. But then he was enjoying nature's fire in the sky photography more recent pictorial posts.
But then I see the dating site the websleuths post and wonder if he was set up by someone who knew him, like the suspect was it the RW guy.(sorry doing this from distant memory). The killer cop.
Suggested he was looted with the club money/deposits. Seems the deposits would not have been that large to warrant being murdered over. A ski mask in winter would have been sufficient.
The guy found in the river-not seasonally dressed meaning too lightly dressed? Could go back to suicide. Maybe he just walked out on life. He left voluntarily. Just being a scientist and working at the Deep River facility gives it more attention, plus the places he traveled, the people who visited Deep River from around the world-summer camps etc.
The authorities had to have gone over that house in details for evidence.
Sometimes we think too hard or maybe it's just too big for us to ever uncover.
I still think he looks like one of the guys, I pointed it out,(no one else picked up on it, so it just be me stretching) that "played the shell game" in the assassination of that weapons dealer and Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh,in a Dubai hotel last January after LC was discovered missing-all those fake passports, all coming and going under security cameras, all quickly dissappeared-couple back into Iran. The photos were doctored or fake. He didn't look the same in some of the spontaneous friends/photos we viewed in everyday life.
It is extremely easy to obtain passports in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, without resorting to identity theft ( Aussie source.) "Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), confirmed that “there have been occasions where ASIS [Australian Secret Intelligence Service, whose mission is equivalent to the CIA’s] has undoubtedly provided documentation for ‘friendlies’ [...]”.
Then the shooting of an Australian citizen on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla caused unrest. The Moussad agent (no name) now just expelled from "down under" suspected of having to do with the 12 fake passports of suspected agents. Maybe "just the guy". A message.
Just LC home Aussie background, loner, genius, doing a job-best not to make friends as you will leave at some point scenario [?].No ties when you walk away. Just makes up my spy theory. What does a spy really look like? ;)
I don't want this to be murder, I do not what this to be suicide, would rather believe Lachlan Cranswick was part of ongoing intelligence that moves in the shadows doing what government elected leaders cannot do because of bureaucratic incompetence he certainly blogs about government, science and its dangers, related money, scams.. enters my reasons for clandestinity.
If I find the discussion again over there, I'll let you know here, with a link to the page where it commences.
"Various features of the people in the photographs, such as eye color or the line of a lip, were changed - slightly enough so as not arouse suspicion at passport control, but still enough that the real agent could not be recognized."
Here you go, these two google searches should locate the threads where the discussions took place at Websleuths. I noticed the date immediately as I was avidly following all the news reports about Meir Dagan and his Mossad -— topics which normally NEVER appear in the news. So when someone depicted as a nuclear scientist disappeared at the very same time, of course I was curious.
But it is YOUR work on the photos which I’m positive made it a discussion elsewhere.
As yet, we still have NO idea if any body was actually recovered from the Ottawa River, near Deep River, it’s still only a RUMOR.
At Lachlan’s Facebook page, someone inquires of his elder brother Noel if it is correct that Lachlan was found on Friday.

There is no reply to the question; as yet, it all remains a rumor.
