The brother of a Grunthal man, whose body was recovered from Eleanor Lake on Monday, says the normal feelings of sadness are now settling in.
On February 21st, Lac du Bonnet RCMP received a report of an overdue snowmobiler. Fifty year-old Dan Lemay from Grunthal left Pinewood Lodge on a snowmobile trip to retrieve a broken sled. He made contact with a friend a couple of times, noting he was unsure of his location, but was then not heard from again.
By the next morning a search was organized, which lasted the better part of two days. Eventually, snowmobile tracks were discovered which led to broken ice on Eleanor Lake. Police presumed Lemay drowned and called off the search, until spring.
PRINCE ALBERT James Hamm says his family won’t stop searching until they have closure on his son’s disappearance. “We’re not quitting with any of it until we find him or his body,” he said, speaking on the Weyakwin Lake dock where Matthew Hamm was last seen. Six months after Matthew’s disappearance, his family is offering a $100,000 reward for his safe return. Matthew, who was 24 years old at the time, went out on his boat on Sept. 23 around 6 p.m. to catch some fish for supper something he regularly did after work at his family’s campground and septic business.
