Robert Cook. The murder happened in 1959. But the big unanswered question: Where was he caught and where was he initially held (same town)?

Nope and nope. Ok hint time - because this is my home town and I'm proud of this fact - it also has (IMHO) the best gun/sports shop in Alberta.
BTW, I think I'll be adding to some of the questionable facts on the Robert Cook wikipedia entry.

pretty close......drop 1 in the muskeg, let it settle, run another one in, and so on , until they had a base to carry on. Didn't beleive the story from my Dad until I drove it in '77 and talked to some folks....amazing. Also, most of the construction co's. in NE BC and NW Alberta got their start when the highway was done because the US gov't. figured it would cost too much to haul the equipment south....so it was left on the side of the road....take it if you want it...pretty lame question....but kind of neat history.....back to BB
