After a manhunt that lasted over one month, the man known only as "The Mad Trapper" is killed in Canada's North.
In late 1931, several Native trappers in Aklavik, Northwest Territories, reported to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) that a newly arrived white man, Albert Johnson, had been tampering with their traps. The RCMP dispatched two officers to Johnson's remote cabin, but he refused to speak with them, so they left to get a warrant to search his home. When the officers returned and tried to gain entry, Johnson fired a shotgun blast through the cabin door, wounding one of the RCMP officers.The incident quickly escalated when a posse of RCMP officers returned and tossed dynamite into the cabin, initiating a firefight in which one officer was killed, and a manhunt that would last more than month and unfold across more than 150 miles of some of the roughest terrain in the world. In the end, Albert Johnson would not be taken alive. And while his death may have ended the wild pursuit across the Yukon territory, it was just the beginning of another mystery that would endure into the twenty-first century.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesCanadian Press. 1932.

In this Box, we journey into the macabre and mysterious. First, we unravel the gruesome story of Leonarda Cianciulli, Italy's notorious "Soap-Maker of Correggio," who turned murder into a grotesque form of art—literally. Was it madness, superstition, or something far darker that drove her? Next, we scale the rugged slopes of the Andes to confront El Duende, the goblin-like creature said to haunt villages and terrorize those who stray too far from safety. Could this ancient legend hold a seed of truth, or is it simply a tale spun by fearful imaginations? Then, we introduce you to Mr. Fritz, the ventriloquist dummy with a mind of its own. Mysteriously moving its eyes and escaping locked cases, this haunted doll has raised more than a few eyebrows—and chills up spines. Finally, we follow the gripping manhunt for The Mad Trapper, a Canadian fugitive whose bizarre behavior, bulletproof toughness, and uncanny evasion tactics left both police and the public in awe. Was he merely a criminal on the run or something altogether more terrifying? Each story is a chilling reminder that the world has more mysteries than we may ever know.

Listener request! The Mad Trapper of Rat River sparked the largest manhunt in Canadian history. Special guest, Beau Binek! Sources: Editors. “Albert Johnson, ‘The Mad Trapper of Rat River.'” The Canadian Encyclopedia, 22 Jan. 2008, www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/albert-johnson. Katz, Hélèna.

Who hunted them? A mysterious “Valley of Headless Men” serial killer in the Nahanni National Park area caused such intense fear during the first half of the 1900s that stories flew. Some whispered of fearsome creatures, mysterious fogs, and cannibalistic tribes. Others claimed “gold fever” after numerous bodies were found decapitated with unexplainable circumstances around their deaths. It's clear that SOMETHING hunted down and killed the explorers and miners in northern Canada, but who was the culprit? Rob Counts conducted deep investigative research to sift through the repeated stories everyone tells about the Nahanni Valley and went to the source: He found the original newspaper articles that detailed the real circumstances. Simultaneously, John Vivanco and his team of remote viewers gathered nonlocal information on what caused all the strange disappearances in the Valley of Headless Men. Between the two of them, they uncovered things no other show has been able to about what really happened in the Nahanni Valley. Want to hear the truth? Watch this episode of Metaphysical for a show that's out of this world. In this episode: Since 1908, more than 20 men have reportedly died searching for a gold mine in Canada's Nahanni Valley. Most of them perished by decapitation or disappearing completely. The mine they were looking for was the infamous “Lost McLeod Mine,” made famous by the brothers who discovered it, Willie and Frank McLeod, who were later also found headless. Who were these decapitated men? What caused their deaths? Most importantly, what made the Nahanni Valley so treacherous—a land that terrorized the natives, causing them to live in perpetual fear? As of 1937, according to one old newspaper, “Thirteen men have already disappeared up the foaming Nahanni river that plunges from the unexplored hinterland between the Mackenzie valley and Alaska. All but the last two of those thirteen were later found murdered. The last two have never been found.” Could there have been even more true crime mysteries going on? Who was the “Mad Trapper of Rat River,” and how was his story related to the bigger picture? After you hear the details, you'll be amazed that ANYONE could have survived such harsh conditions.

Albert Johnson shook national headlines in 1932 when he led RCMP officers on a month-long manhunt through the unforgiving Yukon and Northwest Territories. What started as a simple trap-line tampering investigation led to his cabin being dynamited and several officers wounded. However, the biggest mystery isn't how Johnson evaded police for so long, but where he came from. His true name wasn't Albert Johnson, but he never told anybody otherwise. Was he an ex-convict, running from the law? Was he a well-trained bushman who had a cabin in British Columbia? Was he a paranoid European draft dodger?

In our twentieth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss The Mad Trapper Of Sheslay. Michael Oros, or The Mad Trapper Of Sheslay, moved to Alaska in an attempt to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War. After finding the conditions in Fairbanks too desolate, he moved south, into northern British Columbia to the abandoned mining village of Sheslay. As time passed, Oros became more and more isolated from the world, and became more and more paranoid. He began writing about "sneak arounds" that would follow him in the shadows, and about “torture druggers,” who experimented and poisoned him. Over several decades, Oros went from being a nuisance to a menace, but it was the disappearance of a fellow recluse, ex-Nazi Gunther Lishy, that got the police's attention. As Oros became more violent, his actions devolved further and further away from a person, and more into a monster. Come listen to a story that is sure to make you sit up and wonder what happened that day on March 19, 1985.

It was a manhunt that became part of Canadian folklore. Over the course of two months, Canadians were entranced by the pursuit of the Mad Trapper of Rat River. Some saw him as a hero, fighting against the federal government, while others saw him as a villain for his murder of an RCMP officer. To this day, no one knows who he really was.

Some people prefer to live in peace and solitude. As is with the case of Albert Johnson, a lone hunter who disliked social interactions and liked living alone in a cabin he built with his own two hands. When a hunting dispute came between himself and fellow hunters, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) found themselves up against a cross between a mad trapper and a skilled survivalist.

On July 9, 1931 Albert Johnson came paddling down the Peel River in the small trapping town of Fort McPherson, Canada. He was a mysterious outsider that arrived with thousands of dollars in hand. He used that money to buy the necessary items to begin trapping. The natives were none too pleased about this. This was only the beginning of trouble for the people of Fort McPherson. Johnson went on to become a fugitive. Responsible for the largest manhunt in Canadian history. From there, it only gets crazier from there! Join us as we discuss Albert Johnson aka “The Mad Trapper of Rat River”

It educates a community, preserves events and well-known figures, and provides a sometimes-fictional explanation for mysterious happenings.

Back in 1932, a mysterious stranger who led the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on a wild manhunt through the frozen wilderness of the Canadian Northwest. What should have begun as a simple questioning by police, turned into a violent gun battle and one of the largest manhunts in the history of the northwest. Although the man went by what is most likely an alias of Albert Johnson, he's better known by the name given to him by the newspapers, The Mad Trapper of Rat River.

Albert Johnson is famous in Canadian crime history for leading Mounties on a sensational and deadly chase through the Yukon and Northwest Territories during the winter of 1931-32. How he managed to elude police over hundreds of kilometers in subzero temperatures through a mountainous wilderness is as much a mystery as his real identity. To this day, very little is known about the man nicknamed "The Mad Trapper". My guest, Helena Katz, Canadian historian and author, joins me to talk about her book, "The Mad Trapper: The Incredible Tale of a Famous Canadian Manhunt". More information can be found at her website at http://www.katzcommunications.ca/ .Happy Victoria Day to all of my northern friends and listeners!

Welcome to The Wild Card Podcast! This is episode 159 of our attempt at this whole podcasting thing!! Today's episode features: Jared Eaton probably being the evil doctor (was there ever any doubt?), Jeff Curtis needing marshmallows, and Ron Blair getting the most generous description ever! Throughout the episode, you'll hear the three of us discuss such varied topics as: the way this podcast is about startling realizations regarding the Jeffersons' theme song, a Commercial that definitely doesn't suck, how we'd stock our deserted island kitchen and pantry, jazz music being worth killing for, The Wild Cards not liking snack cakes as much as you might expect, The Scooby Doo, how snapping never really gets you anywhere, and occasionally we part from our tangents to learn about some lesser known killers and fiends!!! This week, Jared wants to expand the pool of possible Halloween monster costumes by teaching about: The Mad Trapper of Rat River, The Mad Gasser of Mattoon, The Axeman of New Orleans, and the French serial killer, Marcel Petiot! Thank you for joining us on this journey to wherever and we know that even though were a lesser known Podcast, we're all Monsters here!Please like/subscribe and leave comments below! Let us know your thoughts on these lesser known sociopaths and murderers, who you think they were, what their motives could have been, which Wild Card should play which man, what your deserted island food stores would look like, what you think The House should be and do for the podcast, if you'd be interested in Wild Card merchandise, positivity chains (encourage one another!), any future reports you'd like us to do, and if you are interested in being an official Deckhead!P.S. "Murder in the murderer is no such ruinous thought as poets and romancers will have it; it does not unsettle him, or fright him from his ordinary notice of trifles: it is an act quite easy to be contemplated, but in its sequel, it turns out to be a horrible jangle and confounding of all relations."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson - EssaysP.P.S.

the Mad Trapper of Rat River, was a fugitive whose actions stemming from a trapping dispute eventually sparked off the largest manhunt in Canadian history. The event became a media circus as the trapper eluded the Royal Mounted Canadian Police sent to take him into custody, which ended after a 150 mi pursuit lasting just under 2 months and a shootout in which the trapper was fatally wounded on the Eagle River, Yukon.
A mystery man appears on Rat River near Fort Mcpherson in the Northwest Territories in Canada. He appears to be a loner, but when the RCMP try to get close to them he would prove to be more than that....he would be lethal.

After a manhunt that lasted over one month, the man known only as "The Mad Trapper" is killed in Canada's North.
In the early 1930s the Arctic became the scene of a desperate manhunt for a violent trapper willing to go to any lengths to avoid the law. A trapper whom nobody knew...and whom nobody still knows.
He was there when the Red Baron was shot down, saved hundreds of lives in the Race Against Death, participated in The Hunt for the Mad Trapper and above it all, had an immense impact on the history of aviation in Canada, and the history of Canada itself.

In the winter of 1931, a dramatic manhunt unfolded in northern Canada when a reclusive trapper shot a constable and fled across the frigid landscape. In the chase that followed the mysterious fugitive amazed his pursuers with his almost superhuman abilities. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the hunt for the "Mad Trapper of Rat River." We'll also visit a forgotten windbreak and puzzle over a father's age. Intro: Korean soldier Yang Kyoungjong was conscripted successively by Japan, the Soviet Union, and Germany. In 1978, Arnold Rosenberg examined idioms to trace a path to the most incomprehensible natural language.

Episode 103 - In this episode we're heading to the Inuvik area of the Northwest Territories, near Fort McPherson. Along the Rat River in the summer of 1931 a stranger was first seen by two indigenous men canoeing on the river. He was a stranger who, save for a short visit to town for supplies, kept to himself. The man was later accused of interfering with the traps of other hunters and trapping without a license. When RCMP went to investigate hell broke loose, culminating in attempted murder of one RCMP constable and the murder of another at the hands of the man. The man, known by the alias Albert Johnson, lead RCMP on a six week chase across the frozen tundra before he was taken down. His true identity remains a mystery.

The one about the crazy trapper.
Journey with us across the Northwest Territories as we hunt for Canada's greatest fugitive Albert Johnson, the Mad Trapper of Rat River!
Let’s watch movies & talk about them on Coldest Cases! Jack joins Lauren for this special discussion episode, where we watch/review Escape from Alcatraz and Death Hunt (based on the Mad Trapper of Rat River). Plus, Lauren shares what mystery from history she’s working on next.
February 17, 1932. After a 53 day manhunt across the freezing, remote land of Canada’s Northwest Territories, a trapper by the name of “Albert Johnson” is taken down by Mounties after being shot nine times. For two months, he led police officers on a chase across sprawling mountain ranges in freezing temperatures, always managing to stay a few steps ahead. Today, the Mad Trapper’s true identity remains a mystery.
An unknown man showed up in Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories, Canada, in 1931, He said very little, only that his name was Albert Johnson. It was the beginning of an amazing tale that started with mischief and destruction of property, an epic chase across the frozen Delta, murder, and a mystery that has never been solved. Hugh Feagan recounts the sequence of events and strange circumstances, along with his interesting connection to the preservation of these historical events.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we take off to the great white north and discuss one of the most notorious manhunts in Canada’s history—the story of the Mad Trapper of Rat River. It is a story of fur trapping gone wrong, miraculous feats of manliness, dog sleds, gun fights, and dynamite. In 1932, this mystery man led the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a lot of native Americans on a month and a half long chase over 150 miles of the most wild tundra the Yukon has to offer. In 1931, a man calling himself Albert Johnson showed up in the small town of Fort McPherson. He was muscular, quiet, had a Scandinavian accent, and spread around a lot of cash. Also, he didn’t ever get a trapper’s license, which was odd since the only way to survive where he ended up building a cabin was to trap wild game. A few months after his arrival, members of a local tribe noticed their traps were being set off and put in trees, and they blamed the only new person in the region, Albert Johnson. On New Year’s eve, two Mounties made it to his remote cabin, and he refused to speak to them, forcing them to make the incredibly long trip back. They returned a week later with a few more men and a search warrant, and The Mad Trapper fired at them through the door, hitting one officer and forcing a retreat. Well, this lead to the Mounties coming back with 9 men and lots of dynamite, and they just sort of blew up the joint. The cabin became a smoldering wreck, but The Mad Trapper was still alive inside of it and held them at bay for a 15 hour gunfight in a -40 degree blizzard! The men retreated again and came back after the storm had passed only to find The Mad Trapper had vanished into the Yukon. But these are Mounties, damnit it, so they followed. Weeks passed, and they couldn’t catch The Mad Trapper. He was seemingly supernatural, making twice the miles per day that the Mounties did with their dogsleds. Eventually, they called in the only guy as awesome as the Mad Trapper, a Canadian hero named Wop May. Wop spotted tracks in the snow that lead to them cornering the Trapper. But this was after he scaled a 7000 foot mountain with no climbing gear in a blizzard, somehow survived for weeks without shooting any game or lighting any fires, ultimately out Mountied the Mounties. So, how did this guy pull it off? What made Wop such a folk hero in Canada? Who do they think the Mad Trapper of Rat River really was? What did they learn when they exhumed his body in 2007? How many times did they have to shoot him to kill him? How many Mounties did he shoot and kill? Listen, laugh, learn.
