Details of Disappearance:
On April 18, 1975, Donald disappeared from Wolcott, New York. He’d been fishing with his stepbrother near Red Lake, and then went out alone in a yellow canoe on Lake Ontario around 7:00 pm. Someone saw him heading out onto the lake. His empty canoe was found floating a while later, and washed up three days later in Jefferson County. The water was very cold (39 degrees), and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket. Because of this, everyone thinks he drowned, but his body was never found, even after a big search.
