Lawrence George Bennett, known as Larry, was 25 when he disappeared from Princess Harbour, Manitoba, on September 25, 1981. He left at about 7:30 p.m. in a boat bound for Matheson Island with his sheepdog aboard; the crossing normally took 20 to 25 minutes. Reports say he departed into a headwind and rough water and never arrived. The RCMP lists him as presumed drowned, but neither he nor his remains have been recovered.

Bennett was born in 1956, about 6 feet 1 inch tall and 225 pounds, with black hair, a beard, brown eyes, a light or fair complexion, and numerous tattoos on his right upper arm. Clothing connected to the disappearance includes grey coveralls with a black stripe, a green rainsuit, a denim jacket, a short brown jacket, and blue denim jeans. The Gimli RCMP handles the file.

Did anyone in the area at the time remember seeing Bennett’s boat or his sheepdog that evening?
