Did Missing Chalk River Physicist Know Too Much?

“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 (AECL) laboratories.

Lachlan Cranswick, 41, was a physicist who worked there. On Jan. 18, he finished work and went to his home in Deep River. At some point that evening or the next day, he took the garbage out, and vanished.
