on Terrace mountain while await-
ing trial.
But in August, 1982, the police

officers and Frolick were dealt a-

~Jheavy blow.
-. «Not only did the judge acquit
“him. on. the theft charges, but
* there.was insufficient evidence to
even have him committed to a
_ mental hospital.
‘Qros was released and promptly

headed north. He vowed he'd’

. never be takenalive again.
-, Three years later, the police got
the break. they needed when
Lishy’s. bones washed ashore at
~: Hutsigola Lake.
> “The ‘book details every step of

shootout in which Terrace RCMP
-Const: Mike Buday died.
Although billed as a true-story,
‘the, author takes plenty of arlistic
licence in describing the thoughts

ae versations with his dogs.

-. Oras loved the north, and had
‘an artistic vision, he said.
“Inside his head he didn’t sec
himselE as a killer,’’ Frolick said.
How many people Oros killed
isn’t known.
He:went.to Vancouver a couple

vee. We don’t know why he made
the trips,’’ Frolick says. ‘‘And

_ Prince George and Quesnel on
“the highway at those times.
“*So the question remains if you
had a highway death at the time,
was Oros responsible? We have
“no way of knowing.”
“Ironically, Oros’ dream was to
