About this episode
On May 10, 1973, a masked man entered a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch in Kenora, Ontario, armed with firearms and a homemade bomb strapped to his body. What began as a bank robbery quickly turned into a public spectacle, broadcast live on radio as police, civilians, and hundreds of onlookers watched the standoff unfold on Main Street. When a single gunshot triggered a massive explosion, the robber was killed instantly leaving behind a scene of destruction, unanswered questions, and an identity that remains unknown more than half a century later.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/
