42: The Lost Boys of Pickering: Unsolved Mystery

On March 17th, 1995, six teenage boys from Pickering, Ontario, disappeared in the early hours of the morning after leaving a house party near the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

What followed was a large-scale search, an investigation built on fragments, and a timeline that—decades later—still feels incomplete.

While the official explanation points to a tragic boating accident, the available evidence does not fully establish how—or when—the events of that night unfolded.
