Martin Gant, born 1919, disappeared from Burnaby, British Columbia after leaving on November 27, 1961. He was preparing to travel to Corral, a port town in southern Chile, for a work assignment installing machinery in a cannery and was never seen or heard from again after that departure.

Gant is described as having blonde hair, blue eyes, a light complexion, and a scar on his left upper arm from a horse bite. He was five feet eight inches tall and weighed about 146 pounds. The planned international nature of his trip—traveling from Canada to South America for employment—means it is unclear whether he ever reached Chile or met with trouble before leaving the country.

No new leads or evidence have been reported, and the case remains cold. If anyone knew Martin, his travel plans in 1961, or has information about movements between British Columbia and South America around that time, please share what is known.
