In this chilling episode of Coast Files, we dive into one of Canada’s most haunting mysteries. In March 1995, six teenage boys vanished after leaving a party in Pickering, Ontario, with plans to take a boat out onto Lake Ontario, but they were never seen again.
With only grainy surveillance footage, a missing boat, and more questions than answers, the case quickly went cold. Did the boys fall victim to a tragic accident in the freezing waters? Or did they encounter something far more sinister that night?
Join us as we dive into the timeline, the overlooked evidence, and the most compelling theories of this 31-year-old cold case.
