In 1931, a stranger in the Canadian Arctic went on a murder and theft spree. His manhunt was a media circus.

    Why spoil a good documentary with the loud music, making it hard to understand what is being said. So many videos are doing the same thing. Very annoying.

    I fully agree I often give up on videos. The loud background noise is totally unnecessary.

    "Mad Trapper" he wasn't until they "pestered" him. He just wanted to live alone they started the fight.

    Apparently he was accused of stealing furs from other local Dene trappers. That's what initiated the search warrant.

    The Mad Trapper would be considered a 1% er, even amongst Elite Force Russian/Siberian soldiers. To stay ahead of fully-provisioned local trackers, their dogs and the Cops and then...to climb over the Ice Mountain after all that. Even the local-born trackers could not follow him. That's God-level stuff. ( remembering that he had just about nothing to eat.) ==== Truly incredible, knowing that fully-equipped modern-day mountaineers STILL cannot do it. And he did it during an Arctic Storm. Absolutely mind-blowing.....1 man in 2 million stuff. No way, he was a city boy. The expensive dental work makes me think that he was a hard-core miner that struck it big, in his past and spent a lot of money on his mouth. Which leaves the last intriguing question..... WHAT scared this Superman enough to make him flee to Alaska ???? He certainly wasn't someone who seemed scared of anything, judging by his actions.

    There's 2 things I feel should have been included in the fantastic story of the "Mad Trapper". First is the way that Albert wore his snow shoes backward to confound the posse. The other is the contribution of Wop May and his flight from Edmonton to track the man.

    41:12 What both impresses and confounds me is his arctic survival skills. You don’t learn those skills by trial and error. He had to have prior or a lifetime upbringing in winter conditions . He did not learn those skills as a Chicago gangster.

    My best guess is that he was a member of a mob and maybe even the mafia who for a time thrived in perhaps Chicago, and then was accused of being a snitch. Knowing what the mob did to snitches, he headed for a place they would never find him and his fear of being caught and returned to where the mob could get to him, even in prison, led him to fight to the death.

    Hair does not decompose like the rest of the human body. They found hair on mummys found in Egyptian burials that many thousands of years old.
