00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>We're actually we're getting like some momentum on this and

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm digging it. Yeah, it's it's becoming in our routine,

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>sit down, do the podcast, do the Instagram thing.

13
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 3>Talk to people.

14
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I like it, But the next one, the next one,

15
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to research and I haven't started.

16
00:00:58.880 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 3>So do you even know what you're gonna be?

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you want me to be truthful?

18
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>The truthful answer is no, isn't it no idea?

19
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 3>I've got like a plethora of cases that I want

20
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 3>to cover it.

21
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I just haven't spent the time yet. Like I'm so

22
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>interested in true crime, and I know, like if I

23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>just spend five minutes, I'll probably have a list of

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>like ten, but I just haven't done that yet, gotcha.

25
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, Like I listened to true crime podcasts and

26
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I watch like the Netflix and YouTube videos and stuff,

27
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>and I'm constantly adding to it and people talking to

28
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>me about it lately too, because this podcast being like, hey,

29
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you should cover this one or cover this one, so

30
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>my list is growing by day.

31
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's actually funny because I feel like you listen

32
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to true crime podcasts more than me now and before

33
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>it was reversed.

34
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, that's definitely the case. Now I probably listened

35
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to like a true crime podcast well like Monday to

36
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Friday on the way home and from to and from

37
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>work sort of.

38
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Thing, because you get you can listen to one episode

39
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in one day, right, because you listened half on your

40
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>way and half on the way on a way to

41
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>work in half on the way home.

42
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which kind of sucks.

43
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>That would sup because I'm like, I'm in the story,

44
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the suspense.

45
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Is building, how can you turn it off? Well, I

46
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 3>have to. I gotta work, so then I couldn't do it.

47
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I got to work for.

48
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>Like nine hours a day, and then I have to

49
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>like stew on the episode all day at work and

50
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 2>then I get to finally.

51
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Listen to it.

52
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>That sounds awful.

53
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>It is terrible, but it works.

54
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But I just also want to throw it out there

55
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>if anyone has any like recommendations or stories that they

56
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>want us to do like by all means hit us up. Yeah,

57
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>I would be totally fine with doing one that someone recommended,

58
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 1>So probably just via Instagram. Hey, Wicked and Grim, send

59

<v Speaker 2>just like watch a story. It's gonna be right at

00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about you, but I'm like freezing right now.

70
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Our host is freezing.

71
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 3>I have like a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie

72
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 3>on hood up over.

73
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Top of my head, drinking cold beer, which I mean

74
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>isn't helping you.

75
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, when am I not drinking cold beer?

76
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>That's very true, And it's funny because it's actually the

77
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>warmest it's been in forever. It's like one degree outside

78
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>and we're freezing.

79
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I know it like spring is on its way, although

80
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.879
<v Speaker 2>it's still technically winter right now. We got a little

81
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>ways to go before springs here.

82
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>They've still got snow, lots of snow, lots of cold.

83
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's making the huskies happy though.

84
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>We went for a nice walk today. That was so

85
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>nice though. That's probably what that's always what chills.

86
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Me well in the wind out there today.

87
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that that definitely sets in a chill and like

88
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 2>your bone, so that's going to do it for us.

89
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>And now the doggles are chewing on bones nomnam.

90
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll leave us alone and Ripley won't fart in

91
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>this podcast.

92
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Oh that was brutally Oh yeah, yeah, I mean

93
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>at the if they're listening to this one, you probably

94
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 1>listened to episode three and I could hardly get through

95
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>what I was saying because the stench was so bad.

96
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 3>I had a good laugh. I didn't even smell it.

97
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how.

98
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 3>One what else? They don't know how what. I don't

99
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>know how this case happened.

100
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited a transition or not.

101
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

102
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>But you put a lot of giving me a lot

103
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of suspense for listening to this. I've told you nothing, yeah,

104
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>but you've also said it's like so crazy, so wild.

105
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 1>That's basically all you've said. So I'm quite intrigued.

106
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 3>It is.

107
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>It's it's not like crazy and wild in a way

108
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 2>that you're.

109
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Going to think it is.

110
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Can you guys hear the bones in the background, the

111
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>dogsturreing the bottles, You probably can. I know Meek is

112
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>being really loud, So if you hear.

113
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 1>That, sorry, it's just apologize. I mean, it's better than

114
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>them doing other things.

115
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, it's probably going to happen lot.

116
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>We're in a tiny home recording a podcast with two

117
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>huskies beside us.

118
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, they don't even know we're moving into a

119
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>tiny home.

120
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we're moving into a tiny home this year.

121
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Guys. In the summer bomb dropped boom. We're at our house.

122
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 3>We're going to go to a tiny home.

123
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Anyways, we'll talk about that maybe on our Instagram or

124
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 2>something or another.

125
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Other time later.

126
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>To get into this, I'm ready. So this is the

127
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Canada's largest man hunt.

128
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>To date, like to date, which is kind of weird

129
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that I haven't heard of this.

130
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Then I haven't heard of it until recently. Either happened

131
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen thirty one.

132
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's probably why I haven't heard about.

133
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>And it is the case of the mad trapper of

134
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>rat River suspense naming their hand river. Okay, so it

135
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>takes place in the northwest, in northwest Canada and of

136
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>course the early nineteen hundreds, so we're talking like Northwest territories,

137
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the Yukon, like north of US even, which is kind

138
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 2>of crazy because yeah, so a lot of like fur

139
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>trading is still really prominent. Native North Americans, the Gwichin

140
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 2>tribe lived in this area and they practiced many of

141
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>their traditional ways still. The Hudson's Bay Company the Northwest

142
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Company were also established in the area. So like a

143
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of fur tradings happening, a lot of hunting, and

144
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 2>there was actually like during the Great Depression, a lot

145
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>of people moved in this area and were like developing

146
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>themselves as trappers as well. A lot of them kind

147
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>of got in over their heads though, so they didn't

148
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>really know what they're doing. But that's there's a lot

149
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of people trying to get into the industry, is basically

150
00:05:58.800 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>what I'm trying.

151
00:05:59.279 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 3>To say here.

152
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Yes, way back in the day, our parents weren't even

153
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>alive then. Dang, it's way back in the day, no.

154
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Kidding, Well, it's almost one hundred years ago. Yeah, So

155
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 2>in the summer of nineteen thirty one, a man going

156
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>by the name of Albert Johnson arrived in Fort McPherson

157
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>by the way of the Peel River on a raft.

158
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>He entered Fort McPherson and he entered the Trading Post,

159
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the local trading post owned by the Hudson Bay Company.

160
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>The chief trader at the Hudson's Bay Company named Bill Douglas,

161
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>he was at the trading post and he spoke shortly

162
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>with this Albert Johnson. Albert went in there. He was

163
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>very abrupt, you know, kind of brushing by some of

164
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the locals, just kind of he knew.

165
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>What he was doing.

166
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>He was on a mission.

167
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 3>He was on a mission.

168
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>He was definitely not going to stop by our deans

169
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know, look at some stuff there and maybe

170
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 2>go over to Sears, not ordering her to the catalog.

171
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Like he knew what he was doing. He was going

172
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 3>to get his stuff and leave.

173
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I like that, right.

174
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>So he spoke shortly and ordered to supplies and evaded

175
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>like any questions as he could. He was kind of

176
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>like a shady looking figure sort of thing, like Bill

177
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Douglas described him. He was a medium sized man between

178
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>thirty five to forty years old, slightly stooped shoulders, sun red,

179
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and skin fly bitten most likely.

180
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, he was just journeying on a raft.

181
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, he said he looked like he was a loner

182
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 2>and obviously lived alone in the wilderness for months because

183
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 2>of his sun redd and skin the fly bitten, that

184
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing.

185
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Like a hermit.

186
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, pretty much.

187
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>He also said he was this is actually kind of funny,

188
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you kind of like a jab at him. He's the

189
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>most unlikely material for romance.

190
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, thank gosh.

191
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 3>Like burn.

192
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>That's like a burn like but very subtle.

193
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

194
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, there he went there.

195
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, definitely he went there.

196
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 2>So he ordered some supplies and you know, he left

197
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>and over the course of the next ten days he

198
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 2>spent fourteen hundred dollars on supplies, which.

199
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Is rob a ton of money back then, right.

200
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen thirty one, And of course you don't have

201
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>debit or credit or anything.

202
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 3>You're paying in cash. It's a ton to this.

203
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>It would equal out today to be about twenty two thousand,

204
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and forty dollars.

205
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Holy man, he's roaded now.

206
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Of course, there's inflation and stuff like it's probably going

207
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>to change today to tomorrow.

208
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly. So it's an estimate.

209
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>And one thousand dollars today is a little less than

210
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 2>sixteen thousand dollars. Sorry, A thousand dollars then is a

211
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 2>little less than a fixed thousand dollars then is a

212
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>little less than sixteen thousand dollars to day. Just to

213
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of give you a perspective. Okay, So over the

214
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>course of the ten days, he spent fourteen hundred dollars

215
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 2>and he was carrying thousands in cash on him really,

216
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>which is really weird, not necessarily just for the inflation

217
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>even but trappers they didn't do that.

218
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I'm very intrigued of how he got all

219
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>his cash. Well everyone is am I going to find out?

220
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, no, you won't. I wish we could, but

221
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>it's not the case here. So Bill Douglas also figured

222
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 2>out that Albert was outfitting himself to trap up the

223
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Rat River in the Rat River country. Word quickly spread around,

224
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, through the town everything of this this new individual,

225
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and it reached the local RCNP in a nearby settlement

226
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>called a Clavic, and Constable Edgar Millan traveled to Fort

227
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>McMillan to Fort McPherson, sorry to investigate this strange man,

228
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, like what's going on because a lot of

229
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>times when trappers come in a new area, they announced

230
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>himself like hey, you know, I'm going to be going

231
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 2>to be trapping here, and especially to the local tribes,

232
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>people in the Gwitchin tribe, and they you know, like

233
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 2>say this is what's happening.

234
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 3>Himself, he kept to himself.

235
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>He didn't announce himself and Gwichin tribe a lot of

236
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>times even when a new guy came in, they would

237
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like help him out, you know, make sure that he

238
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>knew the area, knew the land, or even would like

239
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>sew clothing for him.

240
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Mean, he was well equipped. None of that happened here.

241
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 3>So it was a very strange situation.

242
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seems like it is interesting.

243
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 2>So Edgar Millan traveled to Fort McPherson to investigate this guy.

244
00:09:58.840 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure everything was fine.

245
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.840
<v Speaker 2>So Milne was thirty years old and he was known

246
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>for his good humor, common sense, and really good bush crafts.

247
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>So he was an all around like good RCMP individual

248
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>and he was literally the perfect man to approach and

249
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>talk to Johnson and learn more.

250
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's why he was dispatched.

251
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Right, okay, makes sense.

252
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>So consper Constaber, I can't talk today. Constable Millin first

253
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 2>went to the trading post when he arrived in Fort

254
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 2>McPherson to talk with Bill Douglass and get some more

255
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 2>information before he tracked down Albert Johnson.

256
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 3>While talking to Bill.

257
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Douglass, he learned, you know everything we've already learned. Then

258
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 2>he came down the Peel River and he described him.

259
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.519
<v Speaker 2>And he also said that recently, in the last couple

260
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>of days, he bought a nine foot canoe off a

261
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>local witchen and by all indicate indications, he still intended

262
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 2>on trapping.

263
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Up the Rat River.

264
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>What happened to his raft?

265
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm pretty sure that a canoe would be better

266
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.879
<v Speaker 2>than a sitty little raft that he managed to put together, right,

267
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>so he upgraded basically there.

268
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, he's loaded might as well.

269
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no kidding.

270
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>So Constable Millan said, you know, I better talk to him.

271
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't know the Rat River area. He doesn't know

272
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 2>what's going on because there's there's some rough waters up there.

273
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 2>There's a Rat River rapids which are known for people

274
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to like.

275
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Not do too well.

276
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Long okay, okay, So.

277
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Millan found Albert Johnson at a steamboat landing just down

278
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>by the river, introduced himself, you know, shook his hand,

279
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and Albert was like reluctantly shaking his hand back, and

280
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>he was just kind.

281
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 3>Of like leave me alone pretty much. That was kind

282
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 3>of his attitude.

283
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>He asked Johnson if he could do anything for him,

284
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and Johnson was like super abrupt and hurried, and he

285
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>was like, no, no, I'm just leaving.

286
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's just just like wants to brush him off

287
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty much.

288
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>So Milan described Johnson again as thirty to forty years old.

289
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>He's about five foot ten inches, upturned nose, a broad,

290
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 2>flat face, curiously stiff features, ice blue eyes, and clean shaven,

291
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>which was like really uncommon for trappers to be clean shaven. Well,

292
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't like completely clean shaven, but like fairly clean shaven.

293
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>You maybe stubble or something like that. A lot of trappers,

294
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, get the big old burly.

295
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Beard, and that's what actually, that's what I would picture

296
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 1>in my head for sure.

297
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 3>So he did not have that.

298
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 2>And from his accent, Millan figured he was Swedish or

299
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>from another Scandinavian region, so not local to the area

300
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:16.679
<v Speaker 2>at all.

301
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>So where the heck did this guy come from?

302
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, we don't know, but we're gonna carry on and

303
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>see what happened.

304
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

305
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>So Millan asked Johnson, you know, have your how he

306
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.440
<v Speaker 2>arrived at Fort McPherson, and Johnson said he arrived via

307
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>the Mackenzie River. That's not true or not what Millan

308
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>was told by Bill Douglas at the trading post. He

309
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>came down the Peel River.

310
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh so this guy is already shady now.

311
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Like Millan, he's got his wits about him. He's a

312
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>very common sense driven guy. He knows that like these

313
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 2>rivers are fairly close together, could be that they were

314
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 2>mistaken for one another, something like that.

315
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 3>So he's kind of note to self. But it's not

316
00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 3>like a giant red.

317
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Flag giving him the benefit of.

318
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>The doubt exactly.

319
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And also, trappers were known to lie about where they're going,

320
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 2>very secretive, right, they don't want people coming in the

321
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>trapping area or knowing if they're in like good trapping

322
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>country or something. And to this day you talk to

323
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 2>like a fisherman.

324
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Or a hunters, they're kind of still like that.

325
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Very secretive. I'm a hunter, I know a lot of hunters.

326
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I know family members who are hunters. They're very secretive,

327
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>even though they're still close with me. So it's it's

328
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 2>not uncommon for people to lie about.

329
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 3>That sort of stuff either.

330
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

331
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>So even if he was lying, it's not like it's

332
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 2>again a red flag. So anyways, Johnson would need a

333
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>trapping license though.

334
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, they even had licenses and stuff back in the day.

335
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so Officer Millan offers, he's like, you know, you're

336
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to be trapping or anything, you need

337
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 2>a trapping license. I can get one for you, like

338
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 2>right here, I can write one up. You're good to

339
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>go then, And he also said that I recommend you

340
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 2>hire a guide to go up the rat with you

341
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.240
<v Speaker 2>because of the dangerous conditions the rapids and all that

342
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:02.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing.

343
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Someone that knows where the rapids are exactly you're going

344
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to go up the rat, you're gonna might drowned.

345
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>You might want a guide who can like take you

346
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.080
<v Speaker 2>through the rapits properly, no one to portage whatever it

347
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 2>might be. But at this suggestion, Johnson got visibly upset

348
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, no, I like to be alone.

349
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Just shut down. He was getting angry and.

350
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.679
<v Speaker 1>This guy is just trying to help him. He seems

351
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 1>like he's being really nice.

352
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh just wait. He even said, I don't know if

353
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 3>this is a direct quote.

354
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 2>It was in quotations from the site I've picked it

355
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>up on, but I don't know if it's a specific

356
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 2>quote or they were just kind of writing dialogue for it. Okay,

357
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>but he said that police caused trouble for him.

358
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said to the police officer. Yeah. Oh interesting.

359
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's like, please cause trouble for me. He's like,

360
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 3>leave me alone.

361
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't like them just putting it right out there.

362
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

363
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>So at that point Milane was like okay, he shrugged

364
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>it off and just kind of left Johnson alone and

365
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>walked away.

366
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>So, and that was in the summer.

367
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Of nineteen thirty seven. So alert Johnson takes off in

368
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 2>his canoe. Don't really hear of him for a while

369
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>until the winter. So winter came around, the local gwitchen

370
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 2>reported a man, of course, it's it's Albert Johnson was

371
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>sabotaging their traps. Oh in the Rat River.

372
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Someone else sabotaging someone else's traps.

373
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which is like a big old no no.

374
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what the heck? Back off, buddy.

375
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>So he failed to pass these Rat River rapids and

376
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>set up at the mouth of the Rat River Canyon.

377
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, he was flinging the trap the traps into

378
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 2>the trees and sometimes on reports, even replacing him with

379
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>his own. So he doesn't have a trapping license. He's

380
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.639
<v Speaker 2>messing with other people's traps and he's just causing all

381
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>sorts of trouble.

382
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 1>He sounds kind of like an asshole.

383
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.480
<v Speaker 2>He sounds even more like an asshole when the Gwitchen

384
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 2>tried to approach him about it.

385
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, he threatened him with a rifle. What yeah, He's like, fuck, oh, buddy,

386
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.679
<v Speaker 3>get out of here.

387
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 1>This guy needs to just go back wherever he came from.

388
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Right.

389
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 2>So the RCMP's like, yeah, okay, we need to take

390
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>this report series. So like, this dude's caused some shita.

391
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>So they dispatched two constables, Second Constable A. W. King

392
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and Which and Special Constable Joe Bernard. There's a fair

393
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>bit of names in this, different constables and stuff. I'm

394
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 2>terrible with names, so I'm going to do my best

395
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.480
<v Speaker 2>to keep track of these people. At times, there's like

396
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 2>ten people. I just like there's a bunch of them.

397
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and I will probably not be able to

398
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>help you, so good luck, I know.

399
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>So it was Boxing day when they set out via

400
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>dog sled to go talk to Albert Johnson.

401
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fun.

402
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>They want to keep this civil, you know, just be like, hey, dude,

403
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>like stop being a dick. If you're going to be trapping,

404
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 2>you need your trapping license, all this sort of stories.

405
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Want a dog sled. So I'm just going to put

406
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.519
<v Speaker 1>that out there.

407
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, they were doing this in like minus forty degree temperature, Okay.

408
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 1>And you can't want that. Then I take it back.

409
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But they knew this area well though, so even though

410
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 2>it was like super cold, it was winter, all that

411
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>sort of stuff, they knew where.

412
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.960
<v Speaker 3>They were headed and it was known as Destruction City.

413
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Destruction City is at the mouth of the Rat River

414
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Canyon before the Rat River Rapids, and it's called Destruction

415
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>City because during the Yukon Gold Rush, hundreds of prospectors ship.

416
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.839
<v Speaker 3>Wrecked at the rapids.

417
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't make it through and they wintered there and

418
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>died of scurvy.

419
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my, that's so awful.

420
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Again, Millen knew this whitch and tribe knew this. All

421
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the locals knew this and tried to, you know, tell

422
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Albert Johnson, you should get a guide, help you do

423
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 2>the rabbits want this happen, And of course he turned

424
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 2>his nose away, and it happened.

425
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 3>He couldn't make it through.

426
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Surprise surprise, right, should listen to your locals. They know

427
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 2>their shit, they know what they're doing. So three days

428
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>later they rounded the bend on the ice of the

429
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Rat River and spotted the cabin that Johnson had built.

430
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>So Bernards stayed down with the dogs as King approached.

431
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just referring by last names now, just you know.

432
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.559
<v Speaker 2>So King approached the cabin and they noted that like

433
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 2>snow smoke was billowing from the stovepipe, like someone was

434
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>clearly home, or so they figured most likely. Anyways, smoke

435
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.799
<v Speaker 2>was billowing, and a set of snow shoes were set

436
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>by the front door. The cabin was handmade of logs.

437
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 2>It's roughly estimated to be about eight foot by ten

438
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>feet wide, and the roof was made with like, you know,

439
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>like log beams, and then saw thrown on top which

440
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>was frozen solid.

441
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 3>You know it's winter.

442
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Now, that's so impressive to me that someone can just

443
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 1>like build that alone.

444
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 3>Right, and only in like a few months.

445
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Like, wow, this guy seems really I don't know he's

446
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 1>got it. He just seems like he's a good outdoors person.

447
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, there was something weird about the cabin. It didn't

448
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>stand very tall. So King figured that it looked like

449
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the cabin was like sunk into the gravel bed like

450
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a good like three feet, So he would have like

451
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>dug down three feet in the gravel bed on the

452
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>side of a river before he built.

453
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 3>His cabin up.

454
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, which is a little odd.

455
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean he's already odd.

456
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

457
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So King knocked at the door and there was no reply.

458
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's kind of waiting and he's like, hello, Albert.

459
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, RCMP was making sure everything's okay, and we

460
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.559
<v Speaker 2>heard of the incident blah blah. So no reply, and

461
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>King peered in through a small frosted window and immediately

462
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 2>from the inside the window was covered up. So someone

463
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 2>is inside someone's home.

464
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, like he could see in and then all of

465
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 1>a sudden it got covered up. Yes, Oh that's awkward, right,

466
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.400
<v Speaker 1>So I was awkward when someone came to my house.

467
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, generally you are even.

468
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 2>If someone answers the phone, you're like, sh don't answer it.

469
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to talk to anybody. I think it's

470
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 3>just like people nowadays.

471
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is fun.

472
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But he covered up the window. He's definitely home. So

473
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.920
<v Speaker 2>King was like, pissed. He's going to now have to

474
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 2>go back all this distance that he traveled to get

475
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.160
<v Speaker 2>a search warrant and back to the side of the cabin,

476
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>which is going to be approximately one hundred and sixty miles.

477
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, just because his asshole doesn't open the door, right.

478
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 3>So King was pissed.

479
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I would be too, Yeah.

480
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.400
<v Speaker 2>So Inspector Eames, in charge of the RCMP dispat District,

481
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 2>gave the warrant and sent Constable R. G. McDowell and

482
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Special Constable Lazarus sit A Chewless. I'm going to refer

483
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 2>to him as Lazarus because sit of Chewless is really

484
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to remember and pronounce, sent them along

485
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 2>with them. So they went back to Clavic, got these

486
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.200
<v Speaker 2>people and.

487
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 3>They're heading back to the site.

488
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 2>So mid morning on December thirty first, they once again

489
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>came up on the cabin. Bernard again stayed behind with

490
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the dogs. Lazarus went around back as King approached with

491
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 2>McDowell as his cover. So you got Lazarus going around

492
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.640
<v Speaker 2>back the cabin, King heading to the front door, McDowell

493
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 2>covering him.

494
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>In case he runs or something.

495
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you got Bernard down at the river with.

496
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>The sleds Okay, whole team.

497
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.599
<v Speaker 3>The whole team.

498
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.920
<v Speaker 2>They got four of them and one dude hunked down

499
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>in the cabin.

500
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe if he's home.

501
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.599
<v Speaker 2>So King called out, are you there, mister Johnson? And

502
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 2>he thought he heard a noisseman inside to indicate like

503
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:54.119
<v Speaker 2>someone's in there, right, So he knocked in the door

504
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and there's no answer.

505
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 3>So King goes, you know, we have.

506
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.839
<v Speaker 2>A warrant, you know, open up RCMP. So he begins,

507
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'm not going to go back.

508
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 3>You have no answer.

509
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure there's someone in there. We have a

510
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 2>search ward he starts kind of like shouldering door trying to.

511
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Like budget open. He's like kind of body checking it right.

512
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Shoulders at once, you know, it's not really moving. His

513
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 2>shoulders again didn't move. Then all of a sudden, bang

514
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.640
<v Speaker 2>there was a shot through the door and King was shot.

515
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:22.960
<v Speaker 3>In the chest.

516
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 2>What yeah, Kings shot in the chest. King so King

517
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.039
<v Speaker 2>fell backwards. He was shot in the chest and a

518
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 2>gunfight began to ensue. King King managed to stand to

519
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.599
<v Speaker 2>his feet and stumble to a nearby little bit of

520
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 2>willows and fell down and began crawling down the bank

521
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>of the river. Because what had happened was there's gun holes.

522
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>There's holes drilled in all four corners of the cabin

523
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 2>where Albert Johnson could stick his rifle out and shoot.

524
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>So now the gunfight was ensuing through these holes.

525
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 3>To McDowell and Lazarus.

526
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Holy, this guy has planned it out. Okay, yah, yeah,

527
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>this King I gonna live.

528
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll get there. So King crawled back down to

529
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.039
<v Speaker 2>the river bank. Lazarus and McDowell as well made it down.

530
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 3>King was bandaged.

531
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 2>He was bundled up and strapped to the dog sled,

532
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and they rushed him back to the hospital. But remember

533
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 2>this is not like.

534
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 3>It takes the three days to get there rightly.

535
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 2>So day and night they traveled, and they made it

536
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.920
<v Speaker 2>back in twenty four hours, half the normal time.

537
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

538
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 3>They were like they were described.

539
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>As like their thighs were like ice cold, like freezing

540
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and numb. And they carried him in.

541
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 1>But also these poor dogs that's where my mind went right.

542
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 2>They were okay, they were like dead tired.

543
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, dead tired.

544
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 1>They deserved a good meal.

545
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 2>So the bullet just missed his heart by an inch.

546
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Wow, so he's lucky.

547
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, King managed to survive.

548
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, thank goodness. But then they just left this crazy

549
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>mofo out there.

550
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 3>What else are they gonna do?

551
00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess he's obviously nuts.

552
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.599
<v Speaker 2>So they managed to make it back. Kings barely made

553
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>it with his life. He almost got shot in the heart.

554
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Inspector emes At a Clavic learns of this and quickly

555
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.039
<v Speaker 2>makes a team.

556
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.279
<v Speaker 3>To go back.

557
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Quickly establishes like, okay, we need to get some guys

558
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>out here, because now we have we want.

559
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 3>We have a wanted man. Now, not just like.

560
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 1>A well he injured a freaking narci.

561
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he shot an rcmpof s. Yeah, it's no longer

562
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>just like a tough.

563
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Between a couple of traps now.

564
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

565
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.039
<v Speaker 2>So the team was Inspector Eames McDowell, Lazarus Bernard, and

566
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.839
<v Speaker 2>they'd also brought three trappers along with them, three local

567
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.640
<v Speaker 2>trappers who are you know, really good shots and they

568
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.680
<v Speaker 2>really know the area. And they also brought them because

569
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 2>they thought maybe Albert would have an easier time surrender,

570
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 2>surrendering to trappers, just like he's a trapper, more relatable people.

571
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Right, Oh my goodness, But I feel like these trappers

572
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have had to go. I wouldn't want to go.

573
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I would not be volunteering for that.

574
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.160
<v Speaker 2>They went along and Millan also joined in as well.

575
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 2>So there's the five of them plus the three trappers,

576
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>so there's eight.

577
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 1>But King is in the hospital.

578
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, kings. King's out of the story now, okay.

579
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling that that's probably lucky for him.

580
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 3>Probably.

581
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 2>So they settled for the cabin, armed with the guns

582
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.359
<v Speaker 2>as well as dynamite.

583
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay.

584
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So they arrived and they set up on both sides

585
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>of the cabin and they waited.

586
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>He knows they're there, guaranteed.

587
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Well.

588
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.119
<v Speaker 2>After waiting, eventually they heard some clanging of what they

589
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.599
<v Speaker 2>think were dishes inside. So, okay, clearly he's in the cabin.

590
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Because they weren't sure if he's in there, maybe he

591
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 2>could be out on doing some trap and stuff. He

592
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>knows Robin went out in the bush.

593
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'm not sure.

594
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I doubt that.

595
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I doubt it.

596
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 1>May do that in the comfort of your home.

597
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 3>Probably a little warmer.

598
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 2>So after hearing the utensils and dishes clanging, Eames calls out, Johnson,

599
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 2>this is the RCMP.

600
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Come out.

601
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>There's no serious charge against you. The man you shot

602
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 2>isn't dead.

603
00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 1>There's still serious charge against.

604
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, like not serious.

605
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>He didn't kill kill someone. I guess you know, it's.

606
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Not a murder charge. So he's trying to lure him out.

607
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to like, you know, it's a bargaining situation

608
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing.

609
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 3>So there's no response.

610
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 1>It was quiet, even though they clearly know he's in there.

611
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 2>But oh yeah, and after a while, all of a sudden,

612
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>gunfire from the cabin again again, So gunfight ensues. So

613
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 2>two men actually managed to make it up to the

614
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>door during this gunfight, and they start trying to smash

615
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 2>in the door.

616
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Because he's he's not shooting, but he is shooting at

617
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 1>the door at the door too though, right, Well, so

618
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 1>they're brave.

619
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Because they've got eight guys surrounding the cabin, right and

620
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 2>he's shooting out through these little tiny holes in each corner,

621
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>so he can't really see very well, so you can't

622
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 2>really see these guys coming up there.

623
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>And they know where the holes are now and stuff.

624
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.880
<v Speaker 2>So okay, okay, So they try to start breaking down

625
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 2>the door, and they get the door about half broken

626
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.440
<v Speaker 2>down by the time they are drove off by gunfire

627
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.160
<v Speaker 2>through the door. Now inside, they said, when they were

628
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 2>smashing this door, they saw that it was double walled.

629
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 2>It was like reinforced inside. So you have your outside

630
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 2>log wall and there was an inside log wall as well.

631
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, I'm so intrigued to here what the inside looks like.

632
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it was like fortified.

633
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.519
<v Speaker 2>So the shooting continued for a long while.

634
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 3>And it was basically a standoff.

635
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:22.039
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't get Albert to come out or anything, and

636
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 2>they're not going anywhere, so it's just shooting back and forth,

637
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 2>back and forth.

638
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 3>They set up a fire down by.

639
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 2>The river, and they decided, you know, we need to

640
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>do something. We've got this dynamite here, let's thaw it out.

641
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 3>So they won't. They don't.

642
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>It's not a dangerous situation. Really, They're they're thawing it

643
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.200
<v Speaker 2>out by the fire.

644
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 3>They're not lighting it on fire.

645
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I just want to make note of that because it

646
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 2>sounds dangerous thawing dynamite out by a fire.

647
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 3>But it's good.

648
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I feel like anything involving dynamite is.

649
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Dangerous, but well, what happens next is a little dangerous

650
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:55.400
<v Speaker 2>for sure. They decide that they're gonna throw a stick

651
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>of dynamite at the door of the cabin and try

652
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.200
<v Speaker 2>and blow it open.

653
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that point, you're going to do that.

654
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, the first one fails that no one was injured,

655
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Like mid are it blew up before it hit the

656
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>door sort of thing, right, So they continue to use

657
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 2>dynamite and try and get this door blown open, and

658
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 2>they kind of get the.

659
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 3>Door blown open, there's still it's just not working.

660
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>So all the cabin is so reinforced that the dynamite

661
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't doing a lot of damage.

662
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:26.640
<v Speaker 1>This guy knows what he was doing.

663
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Hey, oh definitely he's a.

664
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Serious plan in action right now, I feel like, so.

665
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Continuing this gunfight and some dynamite at three am in

666
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 2>the dark, because you know, they've been doing this all

667
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.319
<v Speaker 2>day now and into the night, Eames and another man

668
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 2>rushed the cabin in the dark, and when they reached

669
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the door, because the door is like mostly broken open

670
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>now right at the door, they turned on the flashlight

671
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>to try and like surprise, him blind them. Immediately as

672
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:55.559
<v Speaker 2>the light was turned on, the flashlight was shot out

673
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.599
<v Speaker 2>of his hand immediately.

674
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Holy, who is this guy?

675
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.319
<v Speaker 2>This guy is like an excellent marksman. He's building a

676
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 2>freaking bunker and he's holding off the RCMP like no tomorrow.

677
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is insane.

678
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 3>So that failed.

679
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Now, the temperature that they're they're dealing with is approximately

680
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty below zero. These guys are dealing with frostbite on

681
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>their face, their fingers, they're tired, they're freezing.

682
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.279
<v Speaker 3>Of course they're dogs as well.

683
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, so they had to go back to a

684
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>clavic again and restrategize.

685
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>This is insane.

686
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.880
<v Speaker 3>It gets brutal, trust me. We're just ramping up here.

687
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, I already feel like this is a bit much.

688
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>The sky is like nuts.

689
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 2>He's the mad Trapper of Rat River. And actually funny

690
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 2>that we're onto that topic right now, because around this time,

691
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the radio and news sources began picking up the story.

692
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.799
<v Speaker 2>And it's like mostly like amateur radio stations and stuff

693
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 2>at the time, like nothing big, but word was starting

694
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 2>to get out of the situation and it was getting

695
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>across like all across North America. It wasn't just the

696
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.359
<v Speaker 2>local area, and now it was like a lot of

697
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.559
<v Speaker 2>people knew about the story, and media dubbed him at

698
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>this time the Mad Trapper of Rat River. So that's

699
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 2>where he got his name, is from the media.

700
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that media, Yeah, yeah, they.

701
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Do it every time. They got to get the nicknames

702
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 3>in there.

703
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm picturing this to be happening way earlier time,

704
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.000
<v Speaker 1>like eighteen hundreds or something, because I'm like, oh, they

705
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 1>have radio, I think you might be one. Imagination is

706
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 1>just like, okay, I'll call him down.

707
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean, let your imagination go, that's for sure. But

708
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 3>they definitely did have radios.

709
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So Eames and his crew arrived on January seventeenth and

710
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 2>set up base camp at the mouth of Rat River.

711
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So they've already gone to Klavic and they're now back

712
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 2>on the Rat River Canyon to try and take him

713
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 2>on once more. However, this time the cabin was abandoned.

714
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh so they got to look at the bunker or

715
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.400
<v Speaker 3>the cabin, which everyone you want to call it.

716
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's so smart actually that it's a band

717
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:55.119
<v Speaker 1>and of course they'd come back.

718
00:29:55.200 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So inside the cabin there was bunkers dugout just

719
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>big enough for Albert to sit in in the gravel

720
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.240
<v Speaker 2>in the ground, and they're aligned with spruce boughs. There

721
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.240
<v Speaker 2>was a fire designed on the back wall, designed perfectly

722
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to reflect the heat right back into these little bunkers.

723
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Very well thought out.

724
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 1>He's smart, he is.

725
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>There was no signs of trapping activity. The only thing

726
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.599
<v Speaker 2>they really found in there was like, of course, gunshells

727
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>and some like half eaten like elk scraps of like

728
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>meat and.

729
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Things like that.

730
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.839
<v Speaker 2>So there wasn't really much to find in there. But

731
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>they did find that.

732
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's double walled. It's not a cabin.

733
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 2>It's basically a military bunker that this guy built.

734
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I was expecting it to be a little bit more

735
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 1>exciting in there, but okay, I'll take it.

736
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 2>So they knew he couldn't have gone far because of

737
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the weather and in all this there was a recent

738
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 2>blizzard and they knew he was on foot. So he's

739
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>in this canyon minus fifty degrees. He can't be going

740
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that far even if he has days on them. So

741
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 2>they combed the Rat River Canyon for four different days

742
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 2>trying to find him, and due to supply issues with

743
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 2>all the men that he has Eames decides that he's

744
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>going to send most of people back, himself included, and

745
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>he's going to keep a couple of guys there to

746
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:17.680
<v Speaker 2>keep searching. So he took Millen to stay and his

747
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 2>three best shots, which were Carl Gunland, Noel Verville. Those

748
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 2>guys are both trappers and an army sergeant Frank Riddle

749
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 2>or Riddelldell.

750
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so those four stayed.

751
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:32.680
<v Speaker 2>And when I say like best shots, I mean like

752
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:37.759
<v Speaker 2>with a rifle, like good aim, good accuracy. Yeah, so

753
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 2>he's not he's not making it very far. That's why

754
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>these guys are staying to track him. Hopefully they can

755
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 2>get a trail because he like, he can't use his

756
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.559
<v Speaker 2>rifle he's got he's all his food that he's carrying

757
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 2>is in his bag. He can't hunt because if he

758
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:52.279
<v Speaker 2>uses his rifle, he'll be given away.

759
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Right well, yain even to set a fire, right fire.

760
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Smoke's gonna give you away. The flame at Knight's going

761
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.680
<v Speaker 3>to give you away. So he's got.

762
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.039
<v Speaker 2>A heavy backpack. He can't really do much.

763
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:06.319
<v Speaker 3>He's going to be given away.

764
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.880
<v Speaker 2>They estimated that because of the conditions and everything, he's

765
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna need to intake about three to four times the

766
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>normal calories because he's essentially running a marathon every day

767
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.599
<v Speaker 2>as far as he's traveling and going through the snow

768
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:21.359
<v Speaker 2>and the weight.

769
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>He's packing, right, and even just like the coldness and

770
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 1>having to keep your body warm would burn calories.

771
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:30.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like all the conditions and everything. Yeah, so

772
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:32.880
<v Speaker 2>hold on, where am I here?

773
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

774
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>So they tracked Johnson the best of their ability, picking

775
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>up his trail occasionally, and they he did his best

776
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to hide tracks, walking on like frozen ice, frozen spots

777
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 2>of the snow. So there's even at points he wore

778
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.440
<v Speaker 2>his snow shoes backwards to try and send them in

779
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.160
<v Speaker 2>the wrong direction.

780
00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Really, yes, yes, okay, I think that's genius.

781
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.559
<v Speaker 2>And they could tell that he was headed for Alaska

782
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>across the Great Divide, so he's headed west. On Jane

783
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighth, Riddell found an old trail and spotted a

784
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>light off in the distance after he followed it. Now

785
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 2>this is at night, so he can kind of clamb

786
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 2>up on.

787
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:11.759
<v Speaker 3>This ridge and get a look.

788
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 2>And Riddell goes back and get Verville, and they see

789
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 2>this man tending a fire.

790
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.519
<v Speaker 3>He's not very far away, only like.

791
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it was like sixty yards or something like that.

792
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.279
<v Speaker 1>The city was and he actually is lighting a fire.

793
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he didn't know they were there, but they

794
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't they didn't do anything about it. They were contemplating

795
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>taking a shop. But these two guys are trappers, they're

796
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>not RCMP officers, so they don't want to get charged

797
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>with manslaughter.

798
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but isn't that what they're there for.

799
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, they don't even know if it's the right guy.

800
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, okay, that's smart, then that's good.

801
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>So they go back and get Constable Milling. And the

802
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>next morning, all four men they peer over the same

803
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.519
<v Speaker 2>ridge and no person's in sight, but the camp is

804
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:55.799
<v Speaker 2>still there. They approached the camp and Johnson was immediately

805
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:58.839
<v Speaker 2>seen diving into a trench, a snow trench that he

806
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>had dug out. So this guy is already ready, he's

807
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>on the ball.

808
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>He probably knew they were there.

809
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe, or he's just that prepared every time, I guess. So,

810
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>of course, gunfight ensues, shots are being fired. Milan even

811
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:18.280
<v Speaker 2>called out to Albert Johnson to give up, and then

812
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 2>two hours of silence, two hours of them waiting for

813
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Albert to give.

814
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Up or say something.

815
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Trench.

816
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So there's a couple fires or a couple gun

817
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 2>shots back and forth. He's like, give up in silence,

818
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 2>maybe little map maybe. So after two hours, finally they

819
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>decide to move in and more shooting begins, and unfortunately,

820
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the two trappers see Millan fall face forward into the snow.

821
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, they managed to.

822
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Crawl up behind him, tie his boots together and drag

823
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.519
<v Speaker 2>him back. And there's reports, not that I've seen any

824
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>facts on it, but there's some people claiming that at

825
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:58.320
<v Speaker 2>this time they heard Johnson laughing.

826
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Ah, but they turned him over and yes.

827
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Johnson, sorry, Officer Millan was unfortunately dead.

828
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Was he the only RCMP there because the other

829
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 1>one was army and the two are trappers?

830
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

831
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, So there's there's a Constable Millin, two trappers and

832
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the army sergeant Greig.

833
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:19.559
<v Speaker 1>This guy is a piece. I'm getting angry now.

834
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.639
<v Speaker 2>So they inspected his rifle and they found that a

835
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 2>screw caused a misfire in his gun, giving Albert Johnson

836
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the moment he needed to shoot Officer Milan.

837
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, as it was his gun that did it.

838
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the three remaining men took care of ensuring

839
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that animals couldn't get to Officer Millan and everything like that,

840
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:45.119
<v Speaker 2>and Riddell after that they made sure or sorry, Riddell

841
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.320
<v Speaker 2>went back to a clavic to get Eames. So he's

842
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the two guys are staying there and Riddell goes back

843
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and on February fourth, Emes and ten others. This is

844
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 2>where I start not talking about names because there's too

845
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 2>many people to keep trying.

846
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a man hunt.

847
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's it's a man hunt and a half. And

848
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:07.159
<v Speaker 3>remember this started on was it Boxing day? So we're

849
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 3>now into February fourth?

850
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow?

851
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Just as over a month now.

852
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So ten others arrived on the scene, and unfortunately

853
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Johnson escaped during one night silently.

854
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:20.000
<v Speaker 3>They didn't know he left, and he left.

855
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:24.559
<v Speaker 2>No tracks except to come over and look at Officer

856
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Milan's body.

857
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, yes, and then he left and that pissed me off,

858
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:37.039
<v Speaker 1>like really, just oh okay, that's nice of him.

859
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Three more days they were eluded by Johnson as he

860
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:44.480
<v Speaker 2>cleverly hit his tracks constantly, you know, making sure he's

861
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on and off his snow shoes, back tracking snow shoes

862
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.800
<v Speaker 2>on backwards, walking on icy patches, doing what he can

863
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 2>to hide he's zig zagging everywhere. He's out running dog

864
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:59.440
<v Speaker 2>sleds on his or by foot, and he's backtracking, going

865
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>in circle, all this sort of stuff, and he's out

866
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 2>running dogs lives.

867
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Exactly hiding here. This is so intriguing.

868
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:08.800
<v Speaker 2>So by this time there was a pilot, Captain C. W. May,

869
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.519
<v Speaker 2>who served in World War One and actually even fought

870
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 2>against the infamous Red Baron. He solved their reoccurring supply

871
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.679
<v Speaker 2>issue because again Eames is going to have to take

872
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.199
<v Speaker 2>guys off because they're running out of food, especially for

873
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the dogs.

874
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.239
<v Speaker 3>Even food supplies.

875
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.559
<v Speaker 2>So this pilot manages to bring those supplies and can

876
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.519
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth and get supplies as needed. So

877
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.280
<v Speaker 2>now they don't have to abandon and rejoin. It's just

878
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:33.280
<v Speaker 2>a solid man hunt.

879
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Now good.

880
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 2>And by this time he goes up in the air

881
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:43.119
<v Speaker 2>and he kind of sees where Johnson's been heading, and

882
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:46.079
<v Speaker 2>they realize he's going to cross the Great Divide?

883
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:48.639
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what the Great Divide is?

884
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.480
<v Speaker 1>But I actually don't. I was going to ask when

885
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I was like, did you already say what it was?

886
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.239
<v Speaker 2>And I forgot, So a continental divide is what it is.

887
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Great Divide is like its nickname it's a large drainage

888
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.719
<v Speaker 2>divide on a continent where one side of the mountains

889
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:03.199
<v Speaker 2>drain off into one ocean and the other side of

890
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.199
<v Speaker 2>the mountains drain off into another. So it's that big

891
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.840
<v Speaker 2>that it actually divides the drainage of the continent.

892
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Interesting.

893
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And so this runs right down Canada into the States

894
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 2>from the yukon the mountain in the Rockies, right, Okay,

895
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 2>So he's crossing that rocky range in the middle of winter,

896
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 2>so low by foot in minus forty to fifty weather,

897
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 2>in blizzards and snow. It's an impossible task. The local

898
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 2>witches are even saying there's no way a man can

899
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:33.639
<v Speaker 2>make that alone.

900
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:34.559
<v Speaker 3>It's impossible.

901
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:36.599
<v Speaker 1>The fact that he's still even alive, I feel like

902
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>is a miracle.

903
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is.

904
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:44.639
<v Speaker 2>So. February thirteenth, Captain May led a recon flight where

905
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they found his tracks where he that's right, he found

906
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.519
<v Speaker 2>his tracks where he joined tracks of a caribou herd on.

907
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:53.880
<v Speaker 3>The other side of the divide. He made it across.

908
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 1>He did it.

909
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:55.840
<v Speaker 3>He did it.

910
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.639
<v Speaker 2>So by February fifteenth, the crew made it to the

911
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.719
<v Speaker 2>other side the divide, and they are four days now

912
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.840
<v Speaker 2>estimated behind Johnson, Oh right, and like I said, by foot,

913
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 2>they've got a plane. These guys have dog sleds and

914
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:11.679
<v Speaker 2>he's four days ahead.

915
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe this.

916
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's it gets crazier.

917
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Luckily, there was an old trapper on the other side

918
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.280
<v Speaker 2>of the mountain in a local area there by the

919
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 2>name of Frank Johnson that showed them a pretage route

920
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.400
<v Speaker 2>that helped them gain on Johnson, and by February sixteenth

921
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 2>they found his trail where he left the caribou herd

922
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.760
<v Speaker 2>tracks and they estimated that they were no more than

923
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 2>thirty six hours old, so they have gained significant Yeah.

924
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:44.480
<v Speaker 2>And at this time another another individual joined the hunt,

925
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Major Earl Hershey, among other people. So he was a

926
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:52.880
<v Speaker 2>bit of a significant individual in this in this role. Okay,

927
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.840
<v Speaker 2>So noon the following day after finding his trail, Sorr,

928
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm like just going off information here, but there's so

929
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:00.440
<v Speaker 2>much to.

930
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.039
<v Speaker 1>This I know well, and I'm just so I'm very engaged.

931
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Soon noon the following day, after finding his trail, they're

932
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.440
<v Speaker 2>going down the Frozen Eagle River when Hersey, I think

933
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.360
<v Speaker 2>that's how you say his name, Hersey. He turns a

934
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.039
<v Speaker 2>bend and he sees Albert. Unfortunately, Albert sees him too.

935
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh dagn for whatever reason, he.

936
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Was walking towards him.

937
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.760
<v Speaker 2>He was backtracking, most likely to confuse their trail again.

938
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:28.639
<v Speaker 1>So oh okay, so he had probably has no idea

939
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:33.119
<v Speaker 1>how much they gained on him. Yeah, he thinks they're still.

940
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Way back, so face to face around this bend, I

941
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:37.280
<v Speaker 2>mean they're they're a little bit of ways, They're not

942
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:38.199
<v Speaker 2>like nose right.

943
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

944
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.320
<v Speaker 2>So it was a mad scramble and they're in the

945
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.119
<v Speaker 2>middle of a river, steep river banks and either side

946
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 2>of them. Hersey takes a knee and fires a shot

947
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:49.360
<v Speaker 2>as well as another individual behind him takes a shot

948
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.599
<v Speaker 2>as Johnson scrambles and tries to make it up one bank.

949
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't make it up the bank. It was too steep,

950
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's scrambling and they're shooting back and forth in

951
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:02.719
<v Speaker 2>this and unfortunately, during this mad scramble, as he's coming

952
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:04.800
<v Speaker 2>back down that bank headed to the overside the other

953
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:08.159
<v Speaker 2>side of the river, Hersey gets shot from Albert as well.

954
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:11.119
<v Speaker 1>What the frig I thought this Johnson guy was gonna

955
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.679
<v Speaker 1>get shot for sure at this point, because they caught

956
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.079
<v Speaker 1>him when he wasn't prepared. Finally, they did catch.

957
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Him when he's not prepared. We'll see what happens. He

958
00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:20.079
<v Speaker 3>tries to get up the other side of the river.

959
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Again, it's too steep. He's stuck on the frozen river.

960
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 2>So he tries to run. But of course, by this time,

961
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 2>the entire crew has caught up and he's got a

962
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.880
<v Speaker 2>whole lack of people firing at him. Now, yeah, not

963
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 2>everyone's firing yet because they're STI trying to get him

964
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.079
<v Speaker 2>to surrender. They're shouting at him, give up, give up.

965
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.360
<v Speaker 2>As he's running away, they see him stumble a little bit,

966
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and some reports stay. Some reports say they think he

967
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:48.679
<v Speaker 2>got shot. Other reports say he was just throwing his

968
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.840
<v Speaker 2>backpack down, because he immediately turned around and took cover

969
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 2>behind his backpack and started returning fire. So what happens next?

970
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Clearly he's not giving up, he's returning fire. Everyone begins shooting.

971
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they have to get him at this point.

972
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:09.239
<v Speaker 3>Then, So what happens? Shooting back and forth?

973
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Shooting back and forth, because you know, Albert's not answering.

974
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Again, he never answers.

975
00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:18.960
<v Speaker 2>They never heard a single peep from him, but they

976
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:20.320
<v Speaker 2>could see him WinCE every time.

977
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 3>A bullet hit.

978
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I never made a noise, but they could see

979
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.679
<v Speaker 2>him WinCE, they could see him move, they could see

980
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:28.840
<v Speaker 2>him flinch, but not a noise came.

981
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:29.239
<v Speaker 3>Out of him.

982
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I feel like this guy's just a machine.

983
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:34.480
<v Speaker 2>And ten minutes after noon when they ran into him

984
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.039
<v Speaker 2>at noon, So ten minutes later, after this firefight, Albert

985
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:38.639
<v Speaker 2>laid still.

986
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:41.239
<v Speaker 3>Now they're thinking this might be.

987
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.599
<v Speaker 2>A trick because he's definitely pulled tricks on them in

988
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:44.039
<v Speaker 2>the past.

989
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I also feel like, how bad are their shots?

990
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 1>He has to be done, Well.

991
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 3>You have an army sergeant, you have our CNP.

992
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Like, he has to be done.

993
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:54.679
<v Speaker 2>So they walk over to him and turn him over.

994
00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:58.559
<v Speaker 2>He is, in fact dead. Autopsy showed that he was

995
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:01.440
<v Speaker 2>shot with five bullets and one of the bullets actually

996
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:03.039
<v Speaker 2>severed his spine.

997
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Which reallyz shot that killed him, I guess so.

998
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.000
<v Speaker 2>And when they turned him over, he was a withered

999
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:11.760
<v Speaker 2>shell of a man, scrawny, but he had this like

1000
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:13.239
<v Speaker 2>smirk on his face.

1001
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Almost.

1002
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I looked at the photo and I'm going to post

1003
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.840
<v Speaker 2>like the drawing on our Instagram, and that drawing is

1004
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:21.920
<v Speaker 2>from the photo taken when he's turnover.

1005
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.119
<v Speaker 1>You saw the photo of him after he died.

1006
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's not gruesome whatsoever. I just don't want to

1007
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.480
<v Speaker 2>post a photo of a dead guy on Instagram, so

1008
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll post the drawing of it because it's like an

1009
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 2>infamous photo. But he doesn't look like he's smirking to me,

1010
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:40.800
<v Speaker 2>but he's His teeth are definitely showing.

1011
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:42.000
<v Speaker 3>He's burying his.

1012
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Teeth for sure, But I don't know if it looks

1013
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:44.679
<v Speaker 2>like a grin to me or not.

1014
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:48.440
<v Speaker 1>But he's probably just like I don't, all hunkering down

1015
00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:50.840
<v Speaker 1>like oh like yeah, yeah.

1016
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:54.199
<v Speaker 2>So they estimate he traveled by foot approximately one hundred

1017
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and fifty to two hundred and fifty kilometers over the

1018
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.639
<v Speaker 2>course of this man hunt. Ah, it was far more

1019
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:03.199
<v Speaker 2>than third days and an average temperature of minus forty

1020
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:04.119
<v Speaker 2>degrees celsius.

1021
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's a good diet plan. Maybe that's what I

1022
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:07.199
<v Speaker 1>need to get on.

1023
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it would work.

1024
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I would say it's a good

1025
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:13.159
<v Speaker 2>diet plan, but it's a diet.

1026
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Plan, yeah, the New Age diet plan.

1027
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:19.599
<v Speaker 2>And to this day, they still don't know who Albert

1028
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Johnson was.

1029
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me?

1030
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a mystery if that's even his name.

1031
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh. I was just ready for the juice to come out.

1032
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Of what this guy was up to.

1033
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Several hundred people have Wroten written into the RCMP claiming

1034
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to know him. Some called him the Blueberry Kid, which

1035
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:41.599
<v Speaker 2>is some criminal guy. I didn't research the Blueberry Kid

1036
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:44.920
<v Speaker 2>at all, but others claimed him to be a murderer

1037
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 2>from the Michigan a World War One sniper, ex provincial policeman,

1038
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a husband, father, brother son.

1039
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:54.320
<v Speaker 1>A definitely a badass.

1040
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Sorry for in No, Yeah, he's a badass for sure.

1041
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh that reminds me. There was an article I came across.

1042
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to see if I can find it again

1043
00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:03.639
<v Speaker 2>and put it down the notes below.

1044
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.039
<v Speaker 3>It was like Badass of the Week or something like this,

1045
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.599
<v Speaker 3>and someone wrote an article in this guy.

1046
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Their description was hilarious of this events because they don't

1047
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>hold back.

1048
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:12.760
<v Speaker 3>They're cursing, it's wearing.

1049
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.800
<v Speaker 2>This motherfucker did this and this god damn like it

1050
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 2>was just the way they wrote it hilarious.

1051
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:18.559
<v Speaker 3>I highly recommend you check it out.

1052
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, he seems like a machine like but.

1053
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Just like the RCNP investigated, is meant like all these

1054
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:29.920
<v Speaker 2>calls that they could they use fingerprints DNA run testing

1055
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:33.159
<v Speaker 2>at the time, like it's not very advanced, but and

1056
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:35.440
<v Speaker 2>nothing came up from any of them.

1057
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

1058
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:41.880
<v Speaker 2>The most promising call or sorry lead they got called

1059
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:45.880
<v Speaker 2>him Arthur Nelson from nineteen twenty five. He was from

1060
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:48.559
<v Speaker 2>British Columbia and he went to the Yukon where he

1061
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:51.400
<v Speaker 2>disappeared in nineteen thirty one. And it was only two

1062
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:56.199
<v Speaker 2>months later where Albert Johnson appeared. There are other there's

1063
00:45:56.199 --> 00:45:58.280
<v Speaker 2>some other like deep theories out there. I didn't want

1064
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to get into theory stuff on this, yeah, but still

1065
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.599
<v Speaker 2>none of them came up with any concrete evidence. Then

1066
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:10.440
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and seven, they exumed Johnson's body from a.

1067
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Clavic where he was buried.

1068
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Interesting to run some DNA tests on these, you know,

1069
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 2>like Arthur Nelson. Yeah, it's not too long ago, and

1070
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.440
<v Speaker 2>all DNA tests have ruled out all known potential matches,

1071
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:28.559
<v Speaker 2>including this Arthur Nelson. So we still to this day

1072
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:34.159
<v Speaker 2>have no fucking clue who Albert Johnson was really bad

1073
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:35.239
<v Speaker 2>trapper of Rat River.

1074
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's amazing to me that he killed He only

1075
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:46.599
<v Speaker 1>was a He only killed one person, all right, that

1076
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:50.840
<v Speaker 1>other because wasn't there. He got shot, but he didn't die.

1077
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 2>He killed one other individual, so he shot. Now I

1078
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:56.719
<v Speaker 2>can't remember names.

1079
00:46:57.320 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 3>He shot the first.

1080
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Individual through the chest through the door, who survived. Second

1081
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:03.719
<v Speaker 2>individual was Millon, yeah.

1082
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Passed away.

1083
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:07.559
<v Speaker 2>And the third individual was Hersey who was shot and

1084
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.400
<v Speaker 2>he actually just survived that The doctor said if they

1085
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.840
<v Speaker 2>arrived minutes later, he would have passed. So they got

1086
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.880
<v Speaker 2>him to the hospital literally just in time, Okay, thankfully

1087
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:17.320
<v Speaker 2>via the plane.

1088
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah. I can't believe how many people that he

1089
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.599
<v Speaker 1>had coming after him and he freaking got away, like

1090
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:27.480
<v Speaker 1>for a long time.

1091
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.880
<v Speaker 2>He didn't make a peep and he just didn't talk.

1092
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:35.519
<v Speaker 2>He just kept going out running the dog sleds by

1093
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:39.199
<v Speaker 2>foot and backtracking like it doesn't make sense.

1094
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Like crazy, as like a mofo as this guy is,

1095
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.119
<v Speaker 1>he actually is like a little bit admirable.

1096
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, he's a badass. I'm not gonna say admirable.

1097
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:49.920
<v Speaker 2>He can do some shit and he's a badass.

1098
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Well, the fact that he can outrun that many

1099
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.719
<v Speaker 1>people and is like so well in the outdoors and stuff,

1100
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess I just think that's like holy because I'm

1101
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the furthest from that. They should be a movie of this.

1102
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:03.000
<v Speaker 2>They should, I wonder if they have. I know there's

1103
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.840
<v Speaker 2>books written about it. I know there's documentaries about it,

1104
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:07.760
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know if there's a movie. I didn't

1105
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:09.000
<v Speaker 2>come across anything like that.

1106
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Well done you.

1107
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:16.920
<v Speaker 2>To Hayden at work for putting me on this one.

1108
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:18.760
<v Speaker 2>So that was a good, good one.

1109
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good job. I've never heard of it. That's all.

1110
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Now you have there.

1111
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.320
<v Speaker 1>You go again with your ones that don't have proper

1112
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:29.159
<v Speaker 1>outcomes for me.

1113
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I like the mystery ones.

1114
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I like to know when that's happened, where they are now.

1115
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:39.719
<v Speaker 2>It's all like there is you know everything except you

1116
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know when he appeared, and you know how he died,

1117
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you know everything in between there.

1118
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I want to know a bit more.

1119
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you want to know a bit more, I

1120
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 2>recommend you research it. Because they they dove into it.

1121
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.239
<v Speaker 2>They released everything that was in his pack and all

1122
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:55.360
<v Speaker 2>this sort of stuff. It's just too much for me

1123
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to really get into.

1124
00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:57.840
<v Speaker 1>What's in his pack. Might be a little bit.

1125
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I did actually take a screenshot on my cell phone,

1126
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:02.039
<v Speaker 2>So if you really want to know what's in his

1127
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:04.400
<v Speaker 2>backpack when he died, I can tell you.

1128
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:06.079
<v Speaker 3>I just got to pull up the picture.

1129
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.199
<v Speaker 1>On my phone. You make some other like hopefully none

1130
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of the dogs or anything died during this chase, because

1131
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that would have been hard on them too.

1132
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:15.639
<v Speaker 3>There was no report of it.

1133
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm very so we have two huskies. I think we

1134
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:22.239
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this before, so I'm all about this dog tape.

1135
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Like one third of a dog team already. Okay, So

1136
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 2>what was in his pack? He had a razor, a comb,

1137
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:35.360
<v Speaker 2>a mirror, needle, thread oil, rag fish hooks, wax matches, nails, acts,

1138
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 2>pocket compass, one hundred and nineteen shells, a knife made

1139
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:45.239
<v Speaker 2>from an old tarping strap, a tarping spring sorry, all

1140
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:49.800
<v Speaker 2>in neatly sewn moose hide case, five freshwater pearls, some

1141
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:54.119
<v Speaker 2>gold dust, two tho four hundred and ten dollars in bills,

1142
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:58.360
<v Speaker 2>and two pieces of gold bridgework that were not his own.

1143
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.079
<v Speaker 2>So by bridgework like gold teeth.

1144
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh interesting, huh okay, that I mean, I guess that's

1145
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:11.199
<v Speaker 1>what I kind of expected to be in there.

1146
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:14.400
<v Speaker 2>You expected him to have someone else's gold teeth in

1147
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:14.800
<v Speaker 2>this bag.

1148
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Nothing in that pack surprised me overly. Well,

1149
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.840
<v Speaker 1>we went through the information, so huh interesting. I guess

1150
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 1>now I know when I have to pack if I'm

1151
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:25.320
<v Speaker 1>going out in the wilderness.

1152
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:28.280
<v Speaker 2>This was one bad assitude. Or if I if I

1153
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.280
