Frank Turtle, 49, of Pikangikum First Nation, was last seen May 12, 1994, at a fly-in outpost camp on Peisk (Peishk) Lake, northwest of Red Lake, Ontario. He had straight black hair and brown eyes. The pilot who arrived to fly him out on May 16 found his boat adrift on the lake and all of his personal belongings still in the camp; Frank himself was missing.

Searches were conducted but Frank was never located. The empty boat on the water remains the central physical detail in a disappearance that left deep loss for his family and community.

If anyone was at Peisk/Peishk Lake in May 1994 or has information about Frank’s movements that week, please share what you know.
