ABSTRACT

In the spring of 1952, Arthur Kendall, his wife, and five children, aged 2–12, moved into a small cabin in a very remote location between Highway 6 and Lake Huron near the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. Kendall, an itinerant farmhand, had obtained summer employment at a nearby sawmill and the cabin belonged to the sawmill owner. At the end of July, Kendall moved his children out of the cabin and back to the farm in Grey County, from whence they had come. Harold Graham was very skeptical about Kendall's story and suspected the worst. However, since no real evidence was found and the children either said nothing or gave variations of their father's story, the intensity of the investigation gradually diminished. Graham was a dogged investigator, who would never give up and, periodically over the ensuing years, he would make contact with the children as they grew older, "just to keep in touch."
