SEARCH CALLED OFF IN DISAPPEARANCE OF CANADIAN ANGLER

The U. S. Coast Guard has

ended its search for an Ontario fisherman whose boat washed ashore near Hamburg, N.Y., this week. Cmdr. Tad Drozdowski cites the amount of time that has passed since 37-year-old Giusseppe “Joe” Reinhart set out alone Tuesday on Lake Erie. Drozdowski announced an end to the search Thursday. Over three days, crews searched the eastern portion of the lake from Dunkirk, N.Y., on the American side to Port Colborne, Ont., on the Canadian side, and part of the Niagara River. Reinhart, pictured, is on parole after serving time for manslaughter, but Niagara Regional Police call a report that he may have faked his death unsubstantiated. Reinhart often fished alone and was not a strong swimmer, police said.
