Episode 48: The Butcher Baker: Crimes Numb the Mind

Author: Taylor Gerring Description: In this episode, I will discuss the infamous Alaskan serial killer Robert Hansen, also known as “The Butcher Baker”. This case is filled with fraud, stealing, abductions, murder, and arson. With over 30 victims, some are still unknown and unidentified, which is why I picked this case. Advances in DNA and genealogy make this case still relevant today, and some of the victims have recently been identified even though these disappearances took place from 1972-1984. Sources: Who Is Serial Killer Robert Hansen?
