I think Shannon Fraser killed Tom because I have lots of suspicious evidence of why he would want Tom dead. One reason he would want Tom dead would be because people assumed that Tom liked Shannon’s wife, Annie. Another clue that Shannon might have killed Tom is that Winnifred heard Tom and Shannon arguing about how Shannon owed Tom debts. Shannon disagreed about the debts and Winnifred said that they were drunk, he must have killed him out of anger.

Another person who could have killed Tom could have been Martin Bletcher Jr. First of all he liked Winnifred, and Winnifred liked Tom and was probably going to marry him. To get Winnifred he would have to kill Tom. Another reason Martin Bletcher Jr. would want to kill Tom is because Tom was rumored be a english spy, and Martin was rumored to be a german spy. He could have killed him because of the hatred between both countries.

In conclusion, I think that Martin Bletcher Jr. and Shannon Fraser worked together to kill Tom. They both had a big temper and they both lived near the same lake( Canoe Lake ). Also they both had a big reasons why they would want to kill Tom.

Martin Bletcher jr. might have killed Tom because Winefred loved Tom more. Another person who could have killed Tom would be Shannon Fraser because Tom might have liked Shannon’s wife Annie. Winnifred told the officers who were investigating, that Shannon and Tom were arguing the night he died about how Shannon ows Tom debts, that could be another reason  Shannon would want to kill Tom. When Tom first came to Canoe Lake, Tom and a park ranger(not Mark Robison) had a crush on the same girl (i don’t which girl probably Winnifred). The ranger must of killed Tom out of jealousy. Martin Bletcher Jr. was rumored to be an German spy and he thought that Tom was an English spy, Martin could of killed Tom out of hatred between the two countries.

Winnifred Trainor Winnifred Father, Hugh Trainor leased and a cabin in Canoe lake, in Algonquin Park. Other people who live in Canoe Lake say that “Winifred and Tom Thomson might have been involved in a romantic relationship.” Her quirky behavior after Tom’s death had gathered her much attention from the residence from Canoe Lake.

Martin Bletcher Jr. and Bessie Bletcher and their parents were on vacation at the Canoe Lake cottage. Other residents recognize as a very strange and rude family.

Canoe lake is situated in Algonquin Park. Tom mostly painted in Canoe Lake, but he would also paint different parts of Algonquin Park. Canoe Lake was surrounded by trees and still is. The water was very dirty in 1917 considering that  Canoe Lake was surrounded with trees and the bugs from the trees would jump in and also was filled with fish waste.

Algonquin Provincial Park was established in 1893 it is the oldest park in Ontario. The current size is 7,653 square kilometers. The park is located in between the Georgian Bay and the  Ottawa River in the Southern Ontario. The Highway 60 passes through the southern part of the park and the Trans-Canada Highway goes through the northern part of the park. There is over 2,400 lakes and 1,200 kilometers of streams and rivers are located in the park.

Tom Thomson had died and was buried in Algonquin park in 1917. The remains of Tom’s body was supposedly exhumed and reburied in Leith, Ontario( His brother, George, wanted him to be buried in Leith ). But some people suggest that few remains of his body was left where he was first buried in canoe lake.  In 1956, a judge named William Little and 3 friends dug up the Mowat grave. And rather than finding it empty they found a skeleton with a disturbing hole in his right temple.
