Canada's Most Mysterious Manhunt

Canada's Most Mysterious Manhunt

In July 1931, a heavily armed fugitive calling himself Albert Johnson arrived in Canada's remote Northwest Territories, eventually sparking a brutal 49-day manhunt across 150 miles of frozen wilderness after shooting an RCMP constable and later killing Constable Edgar Millen. Utilizing elite cold-weather survival skills, Johnson survived a dynamite blast to his fortified cabin, scaled a 7,000-foot mountain peak during a blinding sub-zero blizzard, and successfully outmaneuvered a massive 40-man ground posse that deployed aerial surveillance for the first time in Canadian history. The pursuit finally ended in a fatal shootout on the open ice of the Eagle River, but the deceased fugitive carried thousands in cash, high-end metropolitan dental work, and absolutely no clues regarding his previous life. Despite modern advancements in forensic genomics tracing his genetic lineage back to 18th-century Sweden, the true identity, criminal background, and ultimate motives of Canada's infamous "Mad Trapper of Rat River" remain entirely unknown.
