I thought today I’d dabble a little in true crime. Also, I wanted to do some more CanCon.
This is a fairly short documentary from The Globe and Mail: “Manhunt, Manitoba” about two vicious Canadian murderers…and the tracker who ran them to ground.
Bonus: this one from the land down under. “Manhunt”, from 60 Minutes Australia. This was posted fairly recently, but dates back to 2011, and covers the hunt for Malcolm Naden. Naden was a child molester and murderer, who evaded capture by the authorities for seven years.
Naden was finally captured in 2012. He pled guilty on 18 counts (including two murders) in 2013.
I’m trying to think of US fugitives who were on the run for that long or even close to it. Eric Rudolph evaded capture for five years. Whitey Bulger evaded capture for 16 years, but I’d argue his circumstances were different than Rudolph’s or Naden’s.
D. B. Cooper?
Don’t think it counts if you’re dead.
