Summary

A two-part series — Sheslay Free Mike terrorized the north for more than a decade. His real name was Michael Oros, and he's been remembered as a legend of the north, the other “mad trapper”, a folk hero… and a cold-blooded killer. But there's much more to this story than meets the eye...

*Additional content warning: this series includes brief mentions of the death of an animal.

This two-part series takes a look back at a well-known, historic case that was sensationalized through headlines, to show that behind it was a real, human story.

Special thanks to Garry Rodgers, Bob Buday, and Ed Hill, and to Craig Baird of Canadian History EhX for voiceover of the Oros diaries.
