Episode 42 - On May 10th, 1973, in the sleepy town of Kenora, Ontario. A man entered the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) on Main Street. He was armed with a rifle, a handgun, and a bomb. He demanded money from the bank and wouldn’t leave until he got what he wanted. Police officers arrived at the scene as well as a thousand civilians. But what happened next, became forever imprinted in the town and its citizens. 50 years later, we are left with more questions than answers. One stands out above the rest. Why is this an unsolved case?
