TORONTO - There are still no leads in the case of an eastern Ontario scientist who disappeared without a trace last month, leaving his colleagues mystified. Lachlan Cranswick hasn't been seen since Jan. 18, when he left work at the National Research Council's Canadian Neutron Beam Centre in Chalk River, northwest of Ottawa.
His nearby Deep River house was reportedly left unlocked and his car was in the garage. His wallet, keys and passport have all been accounted for......

"tv cameras in front of LC's house again this afternoon, network unidentifiable."
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/printthread.php?t=95134&pp=25&page=33
At WS, I recall some discussion of HOW?? could those first investigators & acquaintances ever possibly have any idea whether any of LC's clothes are missing? How could any of them possibly be familiar with the entire wardrobe of this missing scientist??? They aren't family; and coworkers who are so distant that they don't even notice that one of their colleagues has vanished aren't about to be reliable witnesses to their colleague's wardrobe.
Anyway, most initial reports about LC's disappearance repetitively state that his phone, his gps, his wallet, his passport, et cetera, that NONE of them are missing.
And most of those initial articles typically mentions that LC is meticulous, particularly in being prepared in advance for any eventuality; LC is depicted as super safety conscious.
So it strikes me that it is most probable that this highly meticulous, scrupulous genius probably had SEVERAL sets of keys and a large assortment of outerwear, many coats, gloves, hats for all sorts of weather conditions because all the Canadians who knew him knew he loved hiking and snoeshowing the extensive network of trails around Deep River.
Anyway, I seriously believe that he not only had a duplicate set of keys & wallet, but perhaps several sets of keys and wallets, and that it is probable that he had several gps navigators, several blackberries; several cellphones; several digital cameras, etc., and that I wouldn't find it at all peculiar if he had several duplicate sets of identification, perhaps a second passport, etc.
To be prepared for everything, for anything whatsoever.
And that the investigators who concluded that "NOTHING is missing" have never publically stated why they are so very certain of that.
Posters at multiple discussion forums wonder why the mysterious disappearance of a nuclear scientist never hit the MSM until many weeks after its occurrence, and some surmise that perhaps LEOs know something that they aren't releasing to the public.
It's so sad that another brother is coming half way around the world with his family to visit Deep River, that last place his younest brother was seen, particularly when apparently no clues whatsoever exist about the current location of LC, nor why he disappeared.

Police are investigating after the body of a 42-year-old man was found in Bluffers Park Tuesday afternoon... the body had been on the bluffs for longer than a day.

Both Russell Williams' biological father and his stepfather were nuclear scientists with AECL, just like LC, and at one point RW lived in Deep River as a child.
Russell Williams is a PILOT but although there is lots of stuff online about his outstanding career in the Canadian military, I've seen no mention of him owning any private planes.
I wonder if he does own any planes?
Think of the ease that a psychopathic pilot with a private plane might have if he was a serial murderer who wanted to dispose of a body or bodies.....

Did LC own his own sailboat?
If not, then whose sailboat did he sail, was he always in company with others, and if so, WHO, or did he primarily take solo trips on the Ottawa River?
IF he does own a sailboat, did anybody check the boathouse to see if maybe LC had gone to the boat house to check up on his sailboat, or to make repairs and/or improvements to it, during his vacatiion time?
Lachlan was last seen the evening before the garbage collection, did they think of searching any landfills? There was no mention of that in any news reports.
And then there is this interesting remark:

"....People like Lachlan Cranswick do not go missing, at a time of upheaval such as the present circumstances at AECL and the world in general, without someone at a high level being concerned....."
DEEP RIVER, ONT. — From Saturday's Globe and Mail Published on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2008
He was a newcomer to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, a refugee from the Crown-owned nuclear facility at Chalk River who brought with him a sparkling bit of inside knowledge.
His colleagues were reviewing a set of safety upgrades, designed by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to modernize the NRU, the 50-year-old research reactor that supplies more than half of the world's medical isotopes.
"Staff in Ottawa were totally convinced that the [upgrades] were in," said one CNSC insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The new man knew better: Not all the upgrades were done.
That bit of information - confirmed days later in November by AECL - launched a frenetic 10-week tussle between the company and Canada's independent regulator that led to the shutdown of the isotope-producing nuclear reactor, so vital in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and heart disease. Fearing an international crisis, the government intervened, overruled the regulator and ultimately fired its president, Linda Keen -- a move that stunned the global nuclear community.
Insiders suggest the firing was intended to distract attention from the ugly spill of evidence leaching from the dispute: At the dawn of the nuclear renaissance, with the appealingly green industry planning a series of multibillion-dollar projects, Canada's nuclear flagship is wobbling. If it falters, potential sales of the trademark Candu reactors to industrialized countries could be jeopardized, and the prospect of the Conservative government allowing AECL to.......

You read all this in detail, correct?
I may have been silent, but am reading you and doing searches in foreign media outlets.
I did not know of "the dark side" so reported in the Aussie article..
But no note was discovered. One does leave things behind for family etc. Suicide would lend toward a note to his brother I would expect. They seemed close with links to each other's web postings. And just because you do not like a "place" in the dark winter months, does not make you suicidal.
He could have interests in seeking out missing scientists etc, as we are..and suicide would come into play as a scapegoat to not finding a missing person. "Hot spots" could mean anything.
The author of the piece did not seem to realize that LC's website is mammouth and has millions of things on it which are not dark.
Besideswhich, THAT poem is not written by LC, but I'm sure that everyone in Deep River can quote it word for word and they probably all find it quite amusing.
They are frankly eerie.
There are some links to articles about terrorism and the legality of "Preventative Arrests," which kind of sounds to me like "extraordinary renditions."
I surely hope he's not under arrest under circumstances which preclude any public knowledge of said arrest.
Just really creepy links.....

The Washington-born son of a former Pakistani diplomat and American woman, David Coleman Headley reportedly befriended Bollywood stars and even dated an actress during his lengthy surveillance trips to India.
Headley, 49, began cooperating with investigators immediately after his October arrest.......
"David Headley is now providing us valuable intelligence about terrorist activities," Holder said.........
...."He provided substantial assistance in the investigation of this case and provide significant critical information regarding intelligence on other matters," Seeder said.
"We believe it is fair to say that his cooperation has potentially saved the lives of potentially hundreds if not thousands of people."
A date has not yet been set for Headley's sentencing hearing where a judge will hear arguments as to whether he should spend the rest of his life in jail or be given leniency for his cooperation.
"...Note: Lachlan Cranswick will be out of Email range 30th May to 5th of June and 9th to 10th of June...."
