SCIENTIST VANISHES WITHOUT TRACE [Chalk River Nuclear Facility, Canada]
THE STAR.com - THE TORONTO STAR (Ontario) ^ | Adrian Morrow

Posted on 02/21/2010 3:14:44 PM PST by Cindy

NOTE: Photo included.

SNIPPET: "On Jan. 18, Lachlan Cranswick left the Chalk River nuclear facility, where he worked, and took a bus to Deep River, the small town on the Ottawa River where he lived.

The 41-year-old physicist, whose job entailed running experiments for the National Research Council, had just finished some work for a researcher overseas and left his findings on his desk, to be mailed later.

Sometime that night or the next morning, he took his garbage bins outside for pickup.

Then, he vanished without a trace.

When he didn't show up for work for several days and missed a game with the local curling club, of which he was a devoted member, his friends went looking for him."

A lot of possibilities — I won’t speculate.

Totally unrelated, Deep River, ON is home to Laurentian View Dairy. Best ice cream in Canada.

General note:

I gleaned from the various news articles that he wasn’t depressed and not suicidal.

The background on this gentleman is basically book nerd/computer geek.

Still another theory is that he is in the same palce as all the other nuclear scintists which have dissapeared in the last 10 years...

He looks like a man with a secret.

Just my opinion.

They didn’t know he was working on a time machine out in his garage. He went out there to test it out a bit and things didn’t go well. He was supposed to take another machine along with him but it appears he left it behind. This is all being covered up by big oil, big auto, and Big Sister.
