George Wilson went missing during a snowstorm in December 1941.
In 1941, George Wilson stepped off a bus at the end of his road in rural Hants County, N.S., and headed home in a blizzard.
It was five days before Christmas, and the 47-year-old was loaded down with gifts for his family, including a box of chocolates and some oranges he had stuffed in his pockets.
His arrival from Halifax, where he worked as a cabinetmaker, would be a surprise for his wife and children, who weren't expecting him until Christmas Eve.
As the wind howled and the snow whipped his face, he called good night to his neighbour who had gotten off the bus with him.
But somewhere between the main road, now called Highway 215, and his home about a kilometre down Armitage Road in Lower Burlington, something went wrong.
Wilson never made it home.
Armed with a metal detector and magnet, this man has a plan to find him.
