Mary Anne Loranger was 21 when she disappeared from Beckwith Island in Georgian Bay during a family camping trip in late summer 1970. On the morning of August 2, 1970, she and a male friend, Robert Lehto, set out by canoe for Cedar Point in Tiny Township. A severe storm swept the bay sometime after their departure and did not relent until August 4, 1970.

Authorities believe the canoe capsized in the storm and that both Mary Anne and Robert entered the water. Mary Anne was last seen wearing a brown suede coat, brown corduroy pants, and shoes. Neither person was recovered, and Mary Anne remains officially listed as a missing person.

The prevailing account points to a fatal accident at sea caused by the sudden storm, but without a body or conclusive evidence the exact circumstances of their disappearance are unresolved. Does anyone have memories of Beckwith Island or that August 1970 storm that could shed light on what happened?
