Canadian nuclear scientist goes missing

OTTAWA, Feb 23 : 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 .

Later that day, or possibly the next morning, Cranswick took out the garbage, and the single man described as a meticulous loner has not been seen since.
Const. Darin Faris, the Deep River police officer conducting the investigation said Cranswick's friends notified police of his disappearance six days after he was last seen, leading to fruitless searches of a 9-mile-long stretch of land along the Ottawa River . Helicopters, tracking dogs and civilians were unable to find a trace of the man.
