I'm a little confused about this missing person's itinery. How did Brian travel to Thunder Bay? Why did he get a rental car? Was he planning on visiting areas around Thunder Bay, or was he there to visit family/friends? Was he planning to drive the rental car back to Toronto? I was actually surprised, when I mapped the locations, that Marathon was on the route back to Toronto. I tried to find where he might have rented the car, but google gave me three locations for Enterprise in Thunder Bay.

Possible route from Toronto to Thunder Bay, then back to Marathon:


Google Maps

Near the location where Brian's rental car was found (45 kilometers west of Marathon):


Google Maps
44.6 km was as close as I could get to 45 km, but my marker is on the highway when the article said Brian's vehicle was found on a dirt road, off of the highway. I also wasn't sure if the 45 km was as the crow flies, or actual road distance.
