Zbigniew Gajda, 42, disappeared on January 4, 2001, after leaving Thunder Bay, Ontario, on a snowmobile for a day of ice fishing on Lake Superior. He was last seen near Caribou Island in the Shuniah area; after that his trail went cold and no confirmed trace of him or his snowmobile has been reported.

He was described as slender with short brown hair and a fair complexion. At the time he went missing he wore a black Ski-doo jacket with purple and blue on the arms, black nylon ski pants, green heavily-insulated rubber boots, a black helmet, black Ski-doo leather gloves, a blue and gray Kangaroo cotton sweatshirt and long-johns. He was known to be a smoker and is thought possibly to have gone through the ice, though no evidence confirming that has been found.

Did anyone fish or travel near Caribou Island that day and see a snowmobile or anything unusual?
