Alaska Serial Killer Robert Hansen: The Baker Who Hunted His Victims Like Game
from 10 Minute Murder | Bingeable True Crime Stories · host Joe
Alaska Serial Killer Robert Hansen: The Baker Who Hunted His Victims Like GameIn 1983, Anchorage, Alaska investigators connected respected local businessman Robert Christian Hansen to the murders of at least seventeen women, building their criminal profile case through FBI behavioral analysis, forensic evidence recovered from a hidden attic cache, and the survivor testimony of seventeen-year-old Cindy Paulson, who escaped Hansen in handcuffs before her scheduled flight into the Alaskan wilderness. Hansen pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree homicide and was sentenced to life plus 461 years without the possibility of parole. Robert Hansen sold donuts. He had hunting trophies on his walls, a solid reputation around Anchorage, and a family who had no idea what was happening a few miles out past the city limits, where the roads stopped, and the wilderness swallowed everything. For twelve years, he used the Last Frontier like a private hunting ground, and the only thing standing between him and another twelve years of it was a teenager with no shoes and a pair of handcuffs around her wrists. This is the story of how a man builds two completely separate lives in the same small city, what a pipeline boom made possible for a predator who knew exactly how to read the terrain, and the girl who, with about thirty seconds of nerve and nothing else, ended all of it.#TrueCrime #RobertHansen #ButcherBaker #AlaskaTrueCrime #SerialKiller #CindyPaulson #TrueCrimePodcast🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
