Paul Davis, 57, disappeared after going for a swim near the Bay Ferry dock in Saint John, New Brunswick, on November 5, 2022. He was known as an enthusiastic, frequent swimmer. When he failed to return home that evening, his personal belongings were found on the beach just south of the ferry terminal, prompting an immediate multi-agency search.

Emergency crews were alerted late on November 5 and a coordinated search involving Saint John Police, Saint John Fire Department, the Joint Rescue Coordination Center, the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Canadian Coast Guard and other local and provincial resources combed the Saint John River, Saint John Harbour, the Bay of Fundy and adjacent shorelines. The search concluded on the evening of November 6 with no sign of Paul Davis. The Major Crime Unit later took over the investigation.

Paul is remembered as a devoted son, father to a teenage daughter and a man with varied interests: reading, darts, fixing computers and, more recently, cold-water swimming inspired by the Wim Hof Method. Does anyone who knew Paul or who was in the Bay Ferry area that day have information that could help clarify what happened?
