In this video I talk about the disappearance of 52 year old Jeffrey Boucher from the town of Whitby, Ontario, Canada on January 13 of 2014.
Jeffrey taught business and geography at a nearby high school, and he lived in Whitby with his wife and two daughters. He was very active and he was a well-loved member of his community. Every morning, Jeffrey would wake up at 5 am to go for an hour-long solo run before work. The town of Whitby borders Lake Ontario and a large nature conservation area, and Jeffrey would usually run in this expansive natural area.
On January 13 of 2014, Jeffrey did not return home from his usual morning run, and this led to a massive and well-publicized search of the area. Helicopters, civilian searchers, search and rescue teams, Durham Police officers and an underwater side-scanning robot were not able to find any sign of Jeffrey. Multiple tracking dogs were unable to find his scent trail, although inclement weather likely hampered their ability to do so. Jeffrey's family were adamant that Jeffrey was absolutely not at risk of suicide or running away and that he was very happy and stable.
On March 11 of that year, someone walking in the area of Heydenshore Pavilion found one of Jeffrey's shoes. This led to another extensive search, but no further clues were found.
Then on the morning of March 29 of that year, another person found Jeffrey's second shoe in the same area as his first. That same day, a man walking his dog found the deceased body of Jeffrey Boucher. Strangely, Jeffrey's body was completely naked and partially encased in ice.
Autopsy and coroner results were inconclusive, and they were not able to determine his cause of death. Durham Police stated that they though Jeffrey had accidentally fallen off the pier and died in the cold waters of Lake Ontario.
