from Obscura: A True Crime Podcast · host Justin Drown
Robert Hansen hunted his prey with chilling precision, his Anchorage trails leading into the frigid Alaskan wilderness. Black Label examines the chilling psyche, where survival instincts meet calculating desires. Robert Hansen, mild-mannered facade, concealed a thrill-seeker's predatory urges. His life interlaced ordinary existence with dark compulsion. Beginning in 1971, Anchorage became a hunting ground. The wilderness was a silent ally harboring unspeakable offenses against unsuspecting targets. Criminal profiles and victim testimonies paint a grim picture of methodical violence. Police interrogations probe intentions tainted by hidden darkness. The trial brought chilling revelations to light, scratching beneath Alaska's frozen surfaces where justice claws for truth amidst merciless landscapes.

What this episode covers
Most of us are familiar with reality tv shows where people are isolated in remote locations around the world to test and demonstrate their skills, stamina and endurance required to overcome the obstacles presented by mother nature. Extreme temperatures, exposure, hunger, dehydration, and exhaustion - not to mention threats from native wildlife, all pose additional complications.Listener... what happens when you’re stranded and don’t have that experience and those survival skills? No idea how far away you are from the closest town? No way of knowing when - or if - you’ll be rescued? And listener - what if, stranded in the middle of nowhere, the movement of the person you could suddenly hear as they made their way through the trees towards you, belonged to someone who wasn’t coming to help you - but to hunt you.
