Lake yields answer to 50-year old mystery

Allan and Margaret Campbell went missing from their Trout Lake cottage on May 29, 1956.NORTH BAY, Ont.(Canadian Press) — Ontario Provincial Police have confirmed that human remains found at the bottom of a northern Ontario lake are those of a North Bay couple who vanished 50 years ago.

Allan and Margaret Campbell went missing from their Trout Lake cottage on May 29, 1956.

Police found the remains in October at the bottom of the lake about 4.5 metres away from the couple's sunken boat.

Extensive marine searches were conducted at the time of the disappearance, but new sonar technology allowed police to find the remains and boat last year.

Since the recovery, investigators have concluded there is no evidence of foul play, and all evidence points to the couple drowning after a boating accident.

When the remains were found, police suspected they had located the Campbells, but it was not until further DNA testing was done that they were able to get confirmation.
