Episode 422: Rachel Hansen

from The First Degree Hosted by Alexis Linkletter, Jac Vanek

In June 2022, a 19-year-old woman calls 911 after someone enters her apartment and shoots her in the middle of the night. She survives long enough to tell the dispatcher she doesn’t know who shot her or why, but dies from her injuries shortly afterward. As investigators search for answers, they uncover a series of strange circumstances surrounding the apartment, including an unsettling incident just two days before the murder and questions about whether the killer may have been looking for someone else. In episode 422, Jac and Alexis examine the murder of Rachel Hansen, the theories investigators continue to explore, and how her family is keeping Rachel’s memory and legacy alive while fighting for answers. 🎟 Catch up to FOUR bonus episodes per month plus full video episodes over on Patreon: patreon.com/thefirstdegree 🎥 Youtube youtube.com/@thefirstdegreepodcast 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/thefirstdegree 🕺 TikTok: tiktok.com/@thefirstdegreee 👤 Facebook: facebook.com/thefirstdegree 📓 Substack: http://thefirstdegree.substack.com
