Albert Johnson, known as the Mad Trapper of Rat River, was a fugitive involved in a trapping dispute that triggered an extensive manhunt across the Northwest Territories and Yukon in Northern Canada. His evasion of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) led to a media frenzy, culminating in a 150-mile pursuit lasting over a month. The pursuit ended in a shootout on the Eagle River, Yukon, resulting in Johnson's fatal injury. Despite efforts, Johnson's true identity remains a mystery, with suspicions that Albert Johnson might have been an alias.
