Pooran Eric Shivcharan, 36, was last seen November 13, 1981, piloting a small aircraft westbound near Fort Hope, Ontario. His filed flight plan listed Thunder Bay as the destination, but it is believed he may have altered course toward Geraldton or Raith. He was described as East Indian, slender, about six feet tall and 150 pounds, with wavy black hair and a dark complexion.
On the day he disappeared he wore a blue parka-style jacket, brown double-knit slacks, a light-colored shirt, blue and white running shoes, and heavy socks and underwear for the November cold. Extensive searches of the rugged northern wilderness failed to locate Shivcharan or his plane; no wreckage, emergency signals, or other trace was found. The Ontario Provincial Police maintain an open file on the case.
If anyone flew in that area on November 13, 1981, or has information about small aircraft movements between Fort Hope, Geraldton, Raith, or Thunder Bay that day, please share what is known.
