The Untold Story

A lone Arctic trapper survived a dynamite blast and led Mounties on a massive manhunt.

In the freezing Yukon, police surrounded Albert Johnson’s cabin after he refused to answer questions.

When Johnson fired through the door, Mounties threw dynamite, blowing off the roof while he kept shooting.

Fleeing into blinding sub-zero blizzards, he walked backwards through snowdrifts and disguised his tracks among caribou herds.

Desperate, the Mounties brought in bush planes and dog teams, marking the first aerial manhunt in history.

Cornered after forty-eight days in minus-forty cold, the Mad Trapper was stopped, but his true identity remains a mystery. Subscribe for more.
