I lived in Toronto when these boys went missing. You shake your head when you think of the foolishness of taking a rowboat out in Lake Ontario in March. But then you remember some of the crazy things YOU did, like climb up a water tower. You feel invincible when you're that age but looking back in retrospect you realize it could have been "there but for the grace of God, go I".
I really hoped that the remains found in Niagara back in '98 was going to be closure for at least one family member but that didn't turn out.
I was checking the currents of Lake Ontario and found this chart and where a wreck or bodies may have ended up. So it was quite possible that the remains found in Niagara could have been one of the boys.

I also checked how much ice was still on Lake Ontario in March 1995. According to the attached report in March of '95 Lake Ontario was already down to 2% ice coverage so it's very possible the remains of a boat with human remains could have drifted toward the opposite shore based on the currents in the above chart.

It's very possible, based on the lack of ice and lake currents, that some UIDs found in New York state could be any one of these young men.
