Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13051) and 11 other sources
On a summer day in June of 2002, 51-year-old Charles Peter Johnson was last seen in Two Harbors, Minnesota. A resident of Silver Bay, he was a man who enjoyed the outdoors. The date was specifically noted as June 26, 2002. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He had brown hair and green eyes, with a notable scar on his right forearm.

The circumstances surrounding Charles's disappearance centered on a canoeing trip. His canoe was later found in Greenwood Lake, located in Lake County, but there was no sign of Charles himself. Since the discovery of his empty canoe, he has not been seen or heard from again. The vast and often remote wilderness of northern Minnesota can be unforgiving, and the discovery of the unoccupied canoe initiated a search and an enduring mystery.

Years have passed since Charles Johnson vanished, and his case remains an open and unresolved missing persons investigation. He is presumed to have drowned in Greenwood Lake, though a body was never recovered. The lack of resolution leaves a void for his loved ones and the community. The Lake County Sheriff's Office continues to hold the case file for his disappearance. The case serves as a somber reminder of the individuals who have gone missing in the vast wilderness, leaving behind questions that linger with the passage of time.
