Harold Heaven (above) mysteriously disappeared from his remote lakeside cabin in Minden, Ontario, approximately two hours northeast of Toronto, in October 1934.
Police searched nearby forests and dredged the adjacent lake, but the sky was never found or anything known.
At the time, Ontario provincial police investigators ruled his death a suicide, although his body was never found.
His family, however, never believed the suicide sentence.
Now, her great-grandson Mike Mildon, who admittedly has no research experience, has taken over the case.
Mildon, along with her best friend Jackson Rowe, are the filmmakers of the new eight-part series, For Heaven’s Sake, which aims to find out exactly what happened to her in the sky eight decades ago.
Growing up, Mildon heard theories of the disappearance of his great-great-uncle from various generations.

Among the theories transmitted is that the sky had clashed with the road workers who were building a road near their cabin.
The trailer for the series reveals how some believe the body of the sky may be buried under the road or dumped into the lake near its cabin.
Mildon and Rowe’s claim to fame before the series was a Funny or Die series called Trophy Husbands, which had about 5,000 views on YouTube at the time of filming.
The series, despite being based on a real crime, has a comic line as the two amateur investigators try to decipher Mildon’s family mystery.
The couple, who are true fans of the crime, finally got access to the 1934 police report related to the disappearance of Heaven.
They also interviewed several members of the Heaven family, including Mildon’s grandfather, and tried to track down people who had direct knowledge of the research group.
The full For Heaven’s Sake series is currently airing on CBS ‘new Paramount + broadcast service.
