Spike Dennis Winston Jorgenson was last seen on September 28, 1973, in Chief Bay on Lake Nipigon, Northern Ontario. He was about six feet tall, 183 pounds, with black hair and blue eyes, and had a partial amputation of his right index finger at the second joint. That day he wore blue or green cotton work pants, a red and blue checkered shirt, and denim jeans.

Reports say he was in a canoe that is believed to have capsized; no further trace of Spike or the canoe was ever reported. The official presumption is that he drowned in the lake, based on the circumstances of the disappearance. The Nipigon Ontario Provincial Police led the investigation into his disappearance.

Are there any readers who remember seeing Spike or his canoe on Lake Nipigon that September day, or who have family knowledge that could help clarify what happened?
