William Ferguson Earnshaw was 65 when he disappeared during a hunting trip in the Clemenceau district, southwest of Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan. On September 23, 1981, he and two companions separated with plans to reunite at their vehicle later that evening; his companions returned but Earnshaw did not. He was last seen wearing white coveralls, an orange cap, a light dress shirt, grey dress pants and size 7.5 buckskin-colored boots with a shallow tread.

An extensive search of the rugged, remote area was conducted but turned up no trace. The case remains open with the F Division RCMP Historical Case Unit, and no new evidence has been reported. Few concrete leads have emerged, leaving a long unanswered gap in the timeline of his disappearance.

If anyone was in the Clemenceau district around September 23, 1981, or has information about William Ferguson Earnshaw’s movements that day, please come forward.
