Thomas Robert Spence, a 30-year-old Indigenous man, disappeared on September 15, 1993 after a commercial fishing trip out of Norway House, Manitoba. He was headed for Wuskwatim Lake with two other men. At the time he was reported as 5 feet 8 inches, 161 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt.

According to the surviving companion, their boat struck a rock, the motor quit, and because the vessel had no starter they could not restart it. The current carried the boat into rapids. Two men, including Spence, did not survive; their bodies were never recovered despite an extensive land, water and air search.

This account describes a devastating boating accident that left unanswered questions for family and community. If anyone has information about Thomas Spence or that trip on September 15, 1993, please come forward.
