Documented by Eastern Canada Sasquatch Organization
Waterhern Lake is 100 km northeast of Dauphin, Manitoba.
Rilley Chartrand was the stepfather of Marcus McKay when he decided to take the boy deer hunting on the eastern side of Waterhern Lake. It was July 15, 2000, when the two drove down a lonely road by the lake, parked their car and headed for the bush. Other friends were joining the pair in the hunt.
Later in the afternoon, Rilley shot and killed a large deer. Rilley knew that he would need to go back to their vehicle and get help from his friends. Marcus stated that he was tired and decided to stay with the deer carcass. So Rilley headed back to the vehicle and returned to the deer in an hour.
Marcus was gone. Rilley frantically called for his stepson, and there no answer.
Soon the RCMP and search and rescue began searching the area for Marcus. During the following days of searching, the weather worsened with heavy rains and the temperatures dropped. After a few days of searching, rescuers found nothing.
Agnes Beaulieu was Marcus’ great-grandmother …, ‘she had a dream as is explained in the following July 20, 2000 article from the SARINFO.BC.Library: “The little boy was laying down beside a bear to be warm”’.
There were a total of 600 people involved of the rescue effort to find Marcus, including divers going in nearby lakes, and the RCMP sending a special helicopter with a forward-looking infrared radar (FLIR) system: the FLIR unit broke and was never used.
Five days after the search started, it was terminated. Volunteer searchers continued the search, and under the pressure, the RCMP resumed with cadaver dogs.
Marcus was never found.
