Suspect Info: Not available Deputy Warden Noble set out with Conservation Officer Lee Branscombe in a motor-powered skiff to cross Collins Inlet channel, near Killarney, on a windy November evening in 1955. The officers were planning to check deer hunters at a camp beyond the commonly choppy waters of the channel. Hours later, the empty skiff was washed up on shore and a search began for the missing men. Although the waters of the channel were dragged for several days, the effort recovered only a lever from Noble's rifle and a boot belonging to Branscombe. The wardens were swept out into Georgian Bay, or so it is surmised. Their bodies were never found.
