Canadian Nuke Scientist Vanishes With 'Absolutely No Trace'
FOX News ^

Posted on 02/22/2010 5:56:38 PM PST by nuconvert

A Canadian nuclear scientist who has not been seen for more than a month has simply vanished, leaving "absolutely no trace at all," police say.

Lachlan Cranswick, 41, a physicist from the Chalk River Laboratories nuclear facility in Ottawa, was last seen on Jan. 18, when he left his job and boarded a bus to Deep River, his hometown along the Ottawa River with a population of roughly 4,300.

Maybe kidnapped by the Iranians? The news recently is starting to remind me of the cold war; assasinations by Mossad, missing nuke scientists....

Probably working in chains in either NK or Iran. Watch for a threat around his family still in Canada or here.

I don’t think it’s Canada we need to worry about, but Iran has sure gotten gutsy in the past few weeks.

Yeah, we need to keep those crazed Canucks from going all gonzo on that nuclear weapon stuff. Next thing you know, they’ll be threatening to do something really radical, like defend Israel.

. . .or, 'living' - in a manner of speaking - in Iran. Didn't they lose one of their own not too long ago. (Blown up in car. . .)

What a world we live in. . .Guess this will go onto the 'unknown status ' column per 'Dead Scientists'.

A terrible unfolding here whatever the case. Should not be happening; these people need 'security'.

Any footprints in the snow? What ARE they doing about this?
