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...
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.
