Terry Rowe was 19 when he disappeared from Lake Simcoe on May 14, 1977, after a boating accident near Snake Island. Official records list him as born in 1957, a white male about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 150 pounds. Investigators came to believe he had drowned, and that conclusion is the central fact in the surviving record.

Public files name the location as Snake Island and preserve two reference numbers: a federal case reference 2014005212 and York Regional Police case 1977-7017. Beyond the basic facts — date, location, physical description and the probable drowning — the record contains no detailed reconstruction of the accident: the type of boat, how the incident happened, whether anyone else was present, or whether any wreckage or personal items were recovered.

These limited official details have kept many questions open about what occurred that day. If anyone has information about Terry, where he was headed, who he might have been with, or the events near Snake Island on May 14, 1977, please contact York Regional Police.
