On a summer day in 1995 in Churchill, Manitoba, 11-year-old Kelsey Randall Brew went missing after being swept into Hudson Bay while trying to help a friend who had fallen into the water. The exact date of the outing is not known. He was described as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy wearing a purple and black jacket, blue jeans, and red striped shoes, with several moles on his upper back, a mole on his right cheek, a scar on his left thumb and three scars on the left side of his face.

Volunteers and boats conducted an immediate and extensive search of the shoreline and bay, but no trace of Kelsey was found. In the absence of other evidence, it is presumed he drowned. The account frames his actions as an attempt to save a friend that ended in tragedy.

Did anyone in Churchill at the time witness the incident or have memories of the search that might still help clarify what happened?
