Mad Trapper's remains surface in historic dig

Johnson, who lived on the Rat River in the Mackenzie Delta area, rose to notoriety in the early 1930s when he killed a policeman who came to his cabin making inquiries, then led police on a five-week manhunt through the Arctic wilderness in the dead of winter before he was shot nine times and killed. Johnson was buried in Aklavik in 1932.
