TREATY 1 TERRITORY, WINNIPEG — APTN’s award-winning investigative news program, APTN Investigates, aims to uncover the truth behind the unexplained disappearance of two Mohawk fishermen on the Bay of Quinte eight years ago. Police ruled that their deaths were accidental, but the families believe the two young men were killed.
In a special two-part series entitled Secrets of the Bay, Kenneth Jackson sets out to discover what really happened to Tyler Maracle and Matthew Fairman in this mysterious case riddled with secrets and rumours. According to Ontario Provincial Police investigative records, the two men went spear fishing at 1:30 a.m. on April 26, 2015. At 3:09 a.m., their cell phones stopped communicating with the cell tower.
“After meeting with Tyler and Matthew’s family members and with other community members, there are obvious gaps in the story as to what happened on the night of April 26, 2015,” explains APTN Investigates producer Cullen Crozier.
