Harold Josef Larcher disappeared during a canoeing trip on Lake Winnipegosis on September 12, 1982. He and his girlfriend launched from the Overflowing River in separate canoes; large waves began to swamp the boats. The girlfriend’s canoe overturned and she clung to it, eventually reaching shore, but Harold was no longer visible by the time she made landfall.

Searches recovered several of his personal effects, including a passport and a lifejacket believed to be his, but Harold himself was never found. He is described as 67 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and scars on his left ankle and near his right eye on his forehead. The case is officially treated as a presumed drowning.

Anyone with information about Harold or that part of Lake Winnipegosis is asked to contact the Pas RCMP.
