"You expect me to talk, Goldfinger?"
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
From Lachlan Cranswick's Personal Homepage
The Canadian towns of Chalk River and Deep River are in the northern region of the Ottawa Valley, nestled between Algonquin Park to the west, and the Ottawa River to the east.
Deep River is a small community that boasts an network of hiking, biking, and skiing trails. Chalk River is the location of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited laboratories.
Lachlan Cranswick, 41, was a physicist who worked at the laboratories. On Jan. 18, he finished work and went to his home in Deep River.

But writers often confuse their fears with facts. However financial misdeeds were even pointed at back then. Again Government/politics and science; not a good mix as Lachlan pointed out under his writings on "nanotechnology" in particular and the danger it could pose in the future.
The above was Lachlan Cranswick's curling schedule at the club.
18 January 2010 reported "thought to be the 'Missing' date". Source.
CRANSWICK, a curling enthusiast, was scheduled to take the next few days off work. When he failed to show up for a game with the local curling club and did not return to work, his friends notified authorities of his disappearance on January 24.
Jan 21, Jan 28 - etc was the B1 team Play per the schedule at the club.
Probably someone has figured out the dates better than I but confusing when you really check the schedule. I believe the brother of the missing man was concerned over dates in regard to police notification of "when friends noticed" the brother was missing.
I still believe he was too sensitive to his literary side (via his interests per website) not to leave a note to a grieving family member for closure.
