George Angeconeb was 20 when he was last seen on foot leaving Red Lake, Ontario, in 1965, heading for Trout Lake during a severe snowstorm. His final reported sighting was in the territory of Macdowell Lake First Nation. He was described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 134 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Witnesses reported he was carrying a record player and wearing black rubber boots, a black ski jacket, black pants and a green shirt.

No photo of George is available; the physical description and the circumstances of that winter journey are the primary details in the file held by the Ontario Provincial Police in Red Lake. These scant facts leave many unanswered questions about how he disappeared in such remote, stormy conditions.

If anyone has information about George’s movements in 1965 or remembers seeing him on the route between Red Lake and Trout Lake, please come forward.
