‘‘No hat. No boots. No gloves. Nothing.’’

Canadian police are mystified by the disappearance of an Australian nuclear scientist from a remote research facility in the country’s south-east.

Melbourne man Lachlan Cranswick, 41, went missing from Deep River, Ontario, 190 kilometres north-west of Canada’s capital, Ottawa, about five weeks ago.

Investigators admit they have no idea what happened to him or where he is.

‘‘Every bit of information that we have received has been followed up on. We’re at the stage now where we have no new information, we have no leads, no tips and no explanations whatsoever,’’ lead investigator Darin Faris, of the Deep River Police Service, said.

3. I knew a woman whose husband disappeared in the Fifties. He invented

a chemical substance that when added to water would run gasoline combustion engines. He took his idea to one or two automobile companies and shortly thereafter, he just didn't come home. His wife went searching for him. His records disappeared: no birth certificate, no social security number, no marriage certificate, etc. Just like 1984. She finally had him declared dead after 7 years which defies logic if there was no record of their marriage.

These things do happen.

5. Why would they say this?

‘‘With the reactor down, it’s not unusual for those guys to take a few days off and do other things. I understand he had vacation leave and needed to use some up.’’

Go where in winter exactly? Nothing supports this so why would they even say it?
