True Crime Time for August 21, 2026 | The Butcher Baker of Alaska: Robert Hansen’s Hunting Grounds

On today’s episode of True Crime Time, Woody takes a deep dive into one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in American history: Robert Hansen, the so-called Butcher Baker of Alaska. Hansen abducted, raped, and murdered women in and around Anchorage, often flying victims into remote wilderness areas where he hunted them after releasing them into the open. He ultimately confessed to 17 murders and more than 30 rapes and was sentenced to 461 years in prison without parole.

Woody traces Hansen’s early life, criminal history, repeated brushes with the justice system, and the warning signs that were missed long before he became known as one of Alaska’s most notorious killers. Hansen had already been arrested for sexual violence and other crimes before the murder spree fully emerged, yet short sentences and plea deals repeatedly returned him to the community.

The episode also examines Hansen’s pattern of targeting vulnerable women, including sex workers and teenagers, and the terrifying methods he used to control, assault, and kill them. Woody recounts the escape of Cindy Paulson, a 17-year-old victim whose survival became a major turning point in the investigation. Paulson escaped from Hansen while he was preparing his airplane and later gave police critical information about her attacker.

From there, Woody explores how investigators connected Hansen to multiple bodies found across Alaska. Detective Glenn Flothe sought help from legendary FBI profiler John Douglas, whose offender profile closely matched Hansen. Armed with Paulson’s account and the profile, authorities secured search warrants and found jewelry belonging to missing women, firearms, and an aviation map marked with dozens of X’s corresponding to known and suspected burial sites.

Woody then walks listeners through the known and suspected victims, including Eklutna Annie, Cia Van Zanten, Megan Emrick, Mary Catherine Thill, Joanna Messina, Roxanne Easland, Lisa Futrell, Mali Larsen, Sherry Morrow, Andrea Mona, Sue Luna, Tammy Peterson, Angela Fetterin, DeLynn “Sugar” Frey, Teresa Watson, Paula Golding, Cindy Paulson, and Robin Pelkey. He highlights how many of the women disappeared without immediate public attention because they were considered high-risk victims, and how some remained unidentified for decades.

The episode closes with Hansen’s eventual plea agreement, his cooperation in identifying some burial sites, and the disturbing fact that several marks on his map remained unexplained. Authorities believe the true number of victims may have been higher than the murders he admitted to. Hansen died in prison in 2014 at age 75, but the questions surrounding every unknown victim have never fully disappeared.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hello everybody, welcome to the episode of True Crime Time for Friday, August 21st, 2026, and I'm Woody over 10, and you know what it is, the last weekend without football, right college starts up, well, let me get pre-seasonable ship of that that can count.

[SPEAKER_00]: College starts up next weekend, and that's gonna be love, love, love, and then does season

[SPEAKER_00]: But on this day in 2014, I brought this to you, so twist it, the notorious Robert Hansen, who's also known as the butcher Baker of Alaska.

[SPEAKER_00]: He died on this day in 2014.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now Hansen would have ducked women and then savagely hunt them down in the last

[SPEAKER_00]: and he confessed in 1984 to 17 murders and over 30 rapes.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he got 461 years in prison, figured it out, but around him found out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, I wanted to...

[SPEAKER_00]: tell you, can you imagine being abducted and right, but then you told, hey, run free.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm coming to hunt you down on the materials just a little bit more about it because this guy, I mean, as far as Sierra Killers guy or everything else, he doesn't get the respect that he deserves on the evil scale.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he was born in 1939, and of course I told you he'd all at that, and I was twenty-first, twenty-fourteen, and it's known as the butcher baker.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he was American serial killer, active in Anchorage, Alaska, between 1971 and 1983.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he did it for 12 years.

[SPEAKER_00]: He had ducked it right

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, many of us victims were released into the wilderness and hunt it with a ruger, many 14, semi-automatic rifle, and hunting knives.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, I'm going to rape you, but I'm going to let you ruin, but I'm coming for you, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: The Hansen was captured in 1983 and sentenced to 461 years of prison without the possibility of parole, but he died, so a sweet, sweet natural cause, death at age 75, Hansen wasn't from Alaska.

[SPEAKER_00]: On February 15, 1939, and he was the oldest of two children, and his family moved to Richmond California in 1942, but they returned to Iowa in 1949, and settled in the city of Pocahonis, where Hanson worked at a bakery owned by his father.

[SPEAKER_00]: Y'all am trying to get to why he's known as

[SPEAKER_00]: and they said it in his youth, handsome with shy, and he had a stutter and suffered from severe agony that left him permanently scarred.

[SPEAKER_00]: And throughout his childhood, now the lessons he was described as a quiet loner who had a difficult relationship with his domineering father.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen took to practice in both hunting and artery, often finding refuge in those past hives.

[SPEAKER_00]: In 1957, Hansen enlisted in the United States Army reserves and served for one year at Fort Poe right here in South West Louisiana, I've served for Poe, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: But he got discharged.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I'm pretty sure there's a reason for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: They found out that he just should head.

[SPEAKER_00]: He later worked as a assistant drill instructor at a police academy in Pocahonis, Iowa.

[SPEAKER_00]: There, he started up a relationship with a young woman who he married in 1960, but evidently, that marriage wasn't enough for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: On December 7th, 1960, Hanson was arrested for burning down a poka-honest county school bus garage.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why you may ask to be burning down?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he said, but that was revenge for the way he was treated in high school when he was there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay?

[SPEAKER_00]: He served 20 months of a three-year prison sentence in an animus to state penitentiary during which his first wife divorced him.

[SPEAKER_00]: And while he was locked up, Hanson was diagnosed with manic depression with periodic schizophrenic episodes.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the psychiatrist who made the diagnosis noted that Hanson had an infantile personality and was obsessed with getting back at people he felt had wronged him.

[SPEAKER_00]: He gets out and over the next few years, he was jailed several times for petty theft.

[SPEAKER_00]: The 1967, hey, move to Anchorage, Alaska.

[SPEAKER_00]: What is second why?

[SPEAKER_00]: Who he had married in 1963?

[SPEAKER_00]: And he had two children.

[SPEAKER_00]: And Anchorage, here it comes, handsome open his own bakery.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he was well-liked by his neighbors, and he set several local hunting records, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Go to Alaska, Rea, Venture Cell, the last frontier.

[SPEAKER_00]: In December of 1971, Hanson was arrested twice, first, for abducting and then attempting to rape an unidentified housewife.

[SPEAKER_00]: for raping and unidentified sex worker.

[SPEAKER_00]: He pled no contest to assault what a deadly weapon in the former offense.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now the rape charge involved in the sex worker was dropped as part of the plea bargain.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I got to end this one why I didn't end well.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was sentenced to five years in prison.

[SPEAKER_00]: I guess what?

[SPEAKER_00]: He did a whole whopping six months.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then he just placed on a work release program and released into a halfway house.

[SPEAKER_00]: This people, I mean, listen, the I hope to be involved in the next DA here.

[SPEAKER_00]: And

[SPEAKER_00]: frequent flyers like this, you rate multi-women back-to-back, you're not getting out in six months.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Come to East and West, Lee Shanna, and Bobo, and buy an out because the side of Quill is running for District Attorney, and he's not going to put up with his shit.

[SPEAKER_00]: But in 1976, Hanson pled guilty to larceny.

[SPEAKER_00]: after he attempted to steal a chainsaw from an Anchorage Fred Meyer store.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was sentenced to five years in prison and required to, he could fucking get more time for that than the race and required to receive psychiatric treatment for his manic depression.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, he appealed in Alaska Supreme Court reduced Hanson's sentence and he was released with time served.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, he graduated, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: He's been the college, prison college, numerous times now, and he's beat the system, and he's going to continue to be an asshole.

[SPEAKER_00]: And here we go.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's at Hanson's motor stop brand eye.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's believed to have been to stalk a woman to learn her habits.

[SPEAKER_00]: Eventually, picking her up in his car and forcing her at gunpoint into his home, where he would rape her, then stab or shoot her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the women hands of murder were sex workers, and many were teenagers.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, y'all, the sex workers, why?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's the only woman he gets to talk to

[SPEAKER_00]: the teenagers, why I'm pretty sure they were walking the streets and needed a ride or needed some money or a patrol or whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Vulnerable victims, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: That said, it is believed that Hanson's first martyr victim was 18 year old, see a man's end.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, man's end was kidnapped on December 22nd of 1971, and froze to death in the wilderness after escaping from Hanson.

[SPEAKER_00]: Her body was discovered on December 25th.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Duccion occurred three days after Hansen committed his assault on the sex worker for which he was in prison.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, while there are some similarities between Hansen's modus operandai and Bansen's abduction, there's no conclusive evidence linking him to the tag, and he would naturally deny involvement bullshit.

[SPEAKER_00]: on June 13th, 1983.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson.

[SPEAKER_00]: offered 17-year-old Cindy Palson, $200 to perform oral sex, for sure that's a lot of money for oral sex.

[SPEAKER_00]: He backed the end, especially in 1983.

[SPEAKER_00]: But when she got into the car, he put out a gun and drove her to his home in the Moldin neighborhood of Anchorage.

[SPEAKER_00]: Once he got there, he held her captive and he raped her and tortured her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Paulson later told police that after Hanson chained her body neck to a post in his basement, he took a nap on the couch.

[SPEAKER_00]: When he awoke, he put her in his car and took her to what they called Merrill Field, where he told her that he intended to take her to his cabin near the Nick River, which

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Paulson crouching the back seat of Hans' car with a risk cuffed in front of her body.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then, in God, she saw a chance to escape when Hanson was busy loaded in the cockpit of his airplane, which was a Piper PA 18 Super Cub.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then, when Hanson had his back turn, Paulson crawled out of the back seat.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank God this woman was alive because I could promise she, he was going to be some really heinous shit, but Paulson later told police that she left her blue sneakers on the past side floor of the backseat of Hans' car as evidence that she had been inside the car.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen, Panet, and Chester, but Paulson reached 670 and managed to flag down a passing truck.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the driver of the truck, Robert Yound, alarmed by Paulson's appearance, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And he stopped and offered assistance.

[SPEAKER_00]: He drove her to the machine where she jumped out of the truck and ran inside.

[SPEAKER_00]: a paulson pled with the clerk to call her boyfriend at the Big Timmer motel, y'all continue on to work, and he called police to report this.

[SPEAKER_00]: When the anchorage police department arrived

[SPEAKER_00]: They were told that Paulson had taken a cab to the big timber motel, and Anchorage police officers arrived there and found Paulson in room 110.

[SPEAKER_00]: Still handcuffed, Anna Lane.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was taking APD headquarters where she described her attacker.

[SPEAKER_00]: The best skaters identified Hanson, and they got a question in him, and he denied Paulson's accusation and stated that.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was trying to call us trouble for him because he refused to pay her for her extortion demands.

[SPEAKER_00]: This excuse became one Hanson used on other occasions, but although he had several prior run-ins with the law, Hanson basically treat me all his meat, demeanor, and humble occupation as a baker.

[SPEAKER_00]: along with an alibi, from his friend John Henning, persuaded police not to consider him a serious suspect.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that, that, and the fact that she was a sex worker, lived a high-risk lifestyle and had reported herself that all figured into it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But still, I mean, I mean, it was a fuck

[SPEAKER_00]: So to take the going flaw from the Alaska State Troopers, have been part of the team investigating the discovery of several bodies in and around Anchorage.

[SPEAKER_00]: Suurt and the Manusaka Sitsa Valley area.

[SPEAKER_00]: The first of the bodies were found by construction workers, and the body dubbed the Coltna Annie by investigators has never been identified.

[SPEAKER_00]: Later that year, the body of Joanna Messina was discovered in a gravel pit near Seward.

[SPEAKER_00]: In 1982, the remains of 23-year-old Sherry Mori were discovered in a shallow grave near the

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Flop believed all three women had been murdered by the same perpetrator, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Got you an Alaskan serial killer.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Flop being a good detective video, as he contacted the FBI, an FBI special agent, John E. Douglas, who I've read, all his books, y'all, he's one of the original profiles.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so, he contacts Douglas and requests it help with an offender profile based on the

[SPEAKER_00]: Doug was thought the killer would be an experienced hunter with low self-esteem.

[SPEAKER_00]: Have a history of being rejected by women, and would feel compelled to keep souvenirs of his murderers, such as the victim's jury.

[SPEAKER_00]: He also suggests that the killer might stutter using this profile

[SPEAKER_00]: and investigate a positive suspect until he reads Hansen, who fit the profile and own a plane?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, now, support about Paulson's testimony in Douglass's profile.

[SPEAKER_00]: Floth and the APD, scared a warrant to search Hansen's plane vehicles in home.

[SPEAKER_00]: On October 27, 1983, investigators uncovered jury belonging to some of the missing women as well as an array of firearms in a corner, hideaway of Hanson's adding.

[SPEAKER_00]: Which included a 233 caliber roger, many 14 semi-automatic rifle.

[SPEAKER_00]: They also found an aeronautical chart bearing 37 written X-Marks, meaning the map, the X-Marks despise, on an airplane map.

[SPEAKER_00]: Many of these marks match sites where bodies have been found, and others were discovered later at the locations marked on the chart.

[SPEAKER_00]: hands to deny it as long as he could.

[SPEAKER_00]: But eventually, began to blame his victims and try to justify his actions, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll know they.

[SPEAKER_00]: They attacked me and they were trying to blackmail me and this and then another side had to, you know, let's call people, let's call get in the juice.

[SPEAKER_00]: You let them deny deny deny deny, but you cut off the denials and eventually, I always say good homicide interrogation and begin to have to five hours and eventually.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to tell the truth, as long as they don't lawyer up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he does it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, well, no, not the truth.

[SPEAKER_00]: You want them to change their statement, period, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And you lock them into it, then you get them to change it, then you get them to change it, then you get them to change it again, and they're going to get more and more details that they've fucked themselves on it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, eventually, confessing to each item of evidence as it was presented to him, he met it to a spree of attacks against women, which started 1971.

[SPEAKER_00]: His earliest victims were girls, or young women, usually between the ages of 16 and 19, and those were not sex workers, but unlike some of the victims who led to the discovery him being bad acid, all right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mattay about the victims.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson is known to have raped and assaulted over 30 women and to have murdered at least 17, ranging in an age from 16 to 41.

[SPEAKER_00]: They said, all the basal and evidence law enforcement suspect that Hanson killed at least 21 female victims.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now listen, you got a private plane that you have a bus plane, you fly anywhere, you got all those marks on the map, and maybe would have had another map somewhere as bus cabin.

[SPEAKER_00]: or I mean the the fact that he hid this map and the rifle and the souvenirs and the corner of his attic.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, you know, you should at right, but I just have to believe if you start in 1971, you don't get call out to 12 years later, you probably have more bodies than this.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they believe he killed at least 21 female victims.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm going to tell you the list of Hanson's confirmed victims and several other additional women who have been missing as possible victims.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, these 18 women, Hans was only formally charged with the murders of four, who Sherri Moro, Joanna Massina, a cold Tana Annie, that's the one that they never named y'all.

[SPEAKER_00]: They named after the local area and Paula Golding, who's also charged with a reduction in rape of Cindy Palson.

[SPEAKER_00]: the echo, E.K.L.U.T.

[SPEAKER_00]: N.A.

[SPEAKER_00]: Annie, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Her remains were discovered buried next to a power line in a wooded area, one mouth, south of a coutona, Lake Road, owns a lot, 24 or some 1980.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Hansen and Middett just having this victim in the back after she made an effort to flee from this car.

[SPEAKER_00]: she was either a topless dancer or a prostitute, this cornhancing, who also claimed that she was his first murder victim.

[SPEAKER_00]: I did not believe that.

[SPEAKER_00]: But despite his claim that any might have come from Kodiak, troopers think she might have arrived in the last from California.

[SPEAKER_00]: Her body had

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, hopefully they can go back now with the genetic genealogy and, uh, find out, issue true, truly is.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the next one, see your Beth, Bands and age 18.

[SPEAKER_00]: She left her house on Nick Avenue in Anchorage in the late evening, December 22nd, 1971.

[SPEAKER_00]: and walked a few blocks toward a nearby Bala supermarket.

[SPEAKER_00]: She never reached a supermarket, and she was reported missing two days later.

[SPEAKER_00]: On December 25th, Christmas Day, Man's Ends Body was discovered in the Shugat State Park.

[SPEAKER_00]: Her chest had been sliced with a knife, and she had been bound and right.

[SPEAKER_00]: she had been dumped, still alive, and to deep-raving, and then she died, basically, she froze to death.

[SPEAKER_00]: According to forensic evidence, Ben's end attempted to climb back up the slope, couldn't do it because she was tied up.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen has been accused of a killing man's end because of an ex on his murder map that matched the location of her body, but he has denied responsibility for both her death and those of other women who are not involved in sex work, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: So I will confess to every prostitute that I killed because of their prostitutes.

[SPEAKER_00]: But the rest of these young girls, I didn't do any of them, no matter what kind of trinkets you found of theirs and my shit, X marks the spot on the map.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can kill any innocent young girls.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just kill prostitutes, next, Megan, Emery, age 17, managed to July 7, 1973 in Super, Alaska.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was last spotted, leaving a dorm laundry room while attending the

[SPEAKER_00]: She has not been heard or seen since.

[SPEAKER_00]: In-reclept behind all of her personal items, including her identification.

[SPEAKER_00]: Before calling a police, her who may conducted a three-day search for her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, again, Hansen and I killed him right to the law enforcement, but did admit he was ensured on the day she banished, due to an ex on his murder map in the suicide region.

[SPEAKER_00]: And now, again, they think he's responsible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, Hanson admitted to a former inmate that he transported Emmerick to a cabin in the sewer at region that was only a reach for Bob Boat.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then there, he killed Emberry at her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I think it's going to be a lot more.

[SPEAKER_00]: But in some days, he just didn't have a pin to Morgan

[SPEAKER_00]: with him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I married Katherine Thrill, age 20.

[SPEAKER_00]: Disappeared from Seward on July 5, 1975.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thrill was driven into town by friend who dropped her off at a local bakery, a twin one-thirty and two-peem, a different

[SPEAKER_00]: and she has not been her or seen since.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson said, yeah, you know what?

[SPEAKER_00]: I was in a sewer in the days, she vanished.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I didn't kill her.

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't act on this murder map in the vicinity of resurrection bay increased suspicions about him in the disappearance.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson admitted to kill in her and discarding her body in resurrection bay.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this according to another prisoner, I'll remember him, he's not gonna admit it.

[SPEAKER_00]: See, killing any of these,

[SPEAKER_00]: girls that didn't live the high-risk lifestyle.

[SPEAKER_00]: Next one, Joanna Masina aged 24.

[SPEAKER_00]: She went out to dinner with Hanson on May 19th, 1980, while she was working in the sewer, however he said.

[SPEAKER_00]: According to Hanson, before Masina offered him sex, an exchange for cash, everything was going smoothly.

[SPEAKER_00]: a handsome refused to pay and refused to release her, so he drove her and her dog to a distant area by the snow river.

[SPEAKER_00]: He struck her with a 22 caliber revolver before shooting her twice and not to leave the dog out.

[SPEAKER_00]: He shot the dog once.

[SPEAKER_00]: He dumped my son's body in a gravel pit, the dog and my son's belongings.

[SPEAKER_00]: and the gun, Heathrow, Mollon, and Snow River.

[SPEAKER_00]: On July 8, Missiness severely decomposed body was found after it had been torn apart by wildlife.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, next, Roxanne, Easland, age 24, and she vanished on June 28th in 1980.

[SPEAKER_00]: She had been staying at the budget motel in Anchorage with her boyfriend for the

[SPEAKER_00]: previous two weeks.

[SPEAKER_00]: On that day, she was scheduled to meet an unnamed man down town of 4th Avenue, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Hanson admitted to kill in her, but her body has never been discovered.

[SPEAKER_00]: next release of the trail age 41 met Hanson at the nightclub where she worked and he kidnapped her on September the 6th and 1980.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then when she did return home on the September 7th, Paul and her what would have been her September 7th shift, her two younger housemates

[SPEAKER_00]: Her body was discovered on May the 9th, 1984, buried next to a gravel pit.

[SPEAKER_00]: south of the former Nick arm bridge, so he liked gravel pits.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the next lady, Malah Larson, who was 28, was reported missing on July 10th of 1981.

[SPEAKER_00]: In April 24th of 1984, her body was discovered in a parking lot close to the Nick arm bridge, so he's either in Sweden or Nick, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Next, Sherry Moro, age 23.

[SPEAKER_00]: She told friends she was me the photographer, who promised her $300 for new images on November 17th, 1981, but you can guess what happened next.

[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was never seen again.

[SPEAKER_00]: A shalligray was discovered by hunters on the bank of the Nick River on September 12th in 1982.

[SPEAKER_00]: Moro, who was reported missing a year earlier, was identified from the remains.

[SPEAKER_00]: She had three gunshot wounds to the back and cartridges discovered close to the body.

[SPEAKER_00]: revealed that a T-23 Ruger Mini-14 hun rifle had been used to deliver the shots, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Same when they found this in his attic.

[SPEAKER_00]: An odd feature was all, although the body was found fully closed, there were no bullet holes in the clothing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just suggests that Sherry had been naked when she was shy.

[SPEAKER_00]: and the killer redress her after the death, not any of the death after the shooting or the death, the murder, and then buried her.

[SPEAKER_00]: This bizarre next one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Andrea Mona Nickname fish, Adry, age 24 was last seen board in the taxi to go to the body face mall on December the second 1981.

[SPEAKER_00]: And she went to meet an unnamed male for a photo sheet and to perform exotic dances.

[SPEAKER_00]: And here we go again.

[SPEAKER_00]: because she has not been seen or heard from since.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, when the cops search Hanson's house, several of her possessions, including her fish necklace, or discover.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson claimed that after he met her, he threatened her with a gun and abducted her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Blindfold it and handcuff her near the Nick arm bridge.

[SPEAKER_00]: They took a car to a service road and he untied her there.

[SPEAKER_00]: raped her and killed her 22 browning automatic pistol after she retaliated, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, he raped her.

[SPEAKER_00]: She fights back.

[SPEAKER_00]: He gets mad and kills her.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good excuse, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And he then stole her necklace and waited as a double bag of gravel and tied it to the dead woman and threw her off the bridge and guess what, her body has never been found.

[SPEAKER_00]: Moving on, Sue Luna, age 23, voluntary, agreed to a $300 photo shoot offer with a dude from a nightclub.

[SPEAKER_00]: And on May 26, 1982, she met Hanson and a diner, parking lot in Anchorage.

[SPEAKER_00]: The following day,

[SPEAKER_00]: because no one ever heard from her again, and she was reported missing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson had abducted and killed her, then buried her near the Nick River.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was discovered on April 24, 1984.

[SPEAKER_00]: According to Hanson, he had her flee into the forest while hunting her like an animal.

[SPEAKER_00]: In y'all, Ms. Luna was killed by gunshot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Next, Tammy Peterson, age 20.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was a dancer at a nightclub in Anchorage.

[SPEAKER_00]: Last, her family heard from her was during a phone call on August the 7th and 1982, when she claimed to have been offered money to pose for photographs.

[SPEAKER_00]: murdered by Hanson.

[SPEAKER_00]: Her body was not found until Hanson confessed and pointed out its location on a map.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, wasn't on his regular map.

[SPEAKER_00]: On April 29, 1984, the body was recovered

[SPEAKER_00]: Angela Lynn Fetteren, aged 24, was last seen on 4th Avenue in Anchorage sometime in February of 1983, but she wasn't reported until missing until May.

[SPEAKER_00]: Veterans' body was found on April 26th, 1984, on a small late near the larger figure eight late.

[SPEAKER_00]: Move it on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Delin René, or they called her sugar, and her last name was Frey, age 22, with last scene sometime in March in 1983, but she wasn't like many of these high-risk victims.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was not immediately reported missing.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was a doctor and killed by Hanson.

[SPEAKER_00]: She was buried as a Jane Doe in Anchorage, cemetery after her body was discovered on the river Sandbar by Bush Pollett, who's practicing landings there in August of 1985.

[SPEAKER_00]: And what until 1989, as she was identified, when Alaska State Trooper recognized her jewelry in the case file photo.

[SPEAKER_00]: At least they identified her, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Next, Theresa Watson, aged 22, was last seen in Anchorage on March 25th in 1983, and she told her roommate that she was meeting the man, here we go again, who would give her $300 and exchange for two hours of her company.

[SPEAKER_00]: at scenic light, Hansen inducted her and killed her, but Hansen was unable to bury her since the earth and the region was still frozen, so he abandoned her where she died.

[SPEAKER_00]: Her body was discovered on April 26, 1984.

[SPEAKER_00]: Next, this polygoling age 30.

[SPEAKER_00]: was lured and inducted by Hanson on April 25th in 1983.

[SPEAKER_00]: He drove her to his aircraft and once they reached the remote spot, I told you about this.

[SPEAKER_00]: She followed him and attempted to flee.

[SPEAKER_00]: And at which point Hanson shot her with a 223 caliber rifle.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, September 2nd, 1983, goal of the spot is discovered near the Nick River buried in the shallow grave.

[SPEAKER_00]: She had been wounded in the back or shot in the back, but because her clothing was undamaged, it is possible that she was shot still naked and then redress before being buried.

[SPEAKER_00]: Senate Paulson aged 17, met Hanson and Acrets on the June 13th, 1983 after agreeing to pay for sex.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen instead pulling out money.

[SPEAKER_00]: He pulled out a 357 magnum on her and kidnapped her.

[SPEAKER_00]: He took her to his home, he tied her up, and raped her.

[SPEAKER_00]: Before, he took her to Merrillfield, where his airplane was.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying, this is the one, Hansen left Paulson alone in his car, and the,

[SPEAKER_00]: threatened to kill her, surrounded way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, this is the lady I told you that ran away to 6.70, and got the ride to the hotel on the cops, found her later on, but Hanceses moved them out over, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: The, um, it's moved over and made a believe that he didn't do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, the last one I'm gonna tell you about.

[SPEAKER_00]: The partial skeleton remains a robin pelky age 19.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're found on April 25th, 1984 in Palmer, Alaska, which is close to horseshoe lake.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was determined that she had been stabbed and shot, and it is unknown if this victim was involved in sex work.

[SPEAKER_00]: In October 2021, forensic genealogy was used to determine her identity.

[SPEAKER_00]: Haven't been known by the moniker, horseshoe Harriet, before she was identified.

[SPEAKER_00]: I real quick, I'm gonna tell you about this and we'll end it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, Hansen got arrested and he was charged with assault, kidnapping, multiple weapon offenses, theft and insurance fraud.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the insurance fraud was related to claim, filed with the insurance company, over the alleged theft of some hunting trophies.

[SPEAKER_00]: He used the money from the insurance claim to buy his plane.

[SPEAKER_00]: At trial, he claimed he later recovered the trophies in his backyard, but he forgot to tell the insurance company.

[SPEAKER_00]: After his capture, Hanson's second wife and the two children left Anchorage and moved to Arkansas.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hanson entered in a plea bargain.

[SPEAKER_00]: after Ballista Test returned a mass between bullets found at crime scenes in that that many Ruger I thought told y'all about.

[SPEAKER_00]: He played guilty to the four homicides, police had the evidence for, which from Moro, Massina, Golden, and a cult, uh, Annie.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he provided details about his other

[SPEAKER_00]: along, I mean, he imagines, along part of his fucking plea bargain, he gave some details about his other victims and he gets federal president, which is much nicer in the last for state president, and part of the plea bargain was no publicity in the press.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm still talking about you telling the world.

[SPEAKER_00]: Another condition of the plea bargain was his participation in deciphering the markings on his aviation map and locate in his victim's body.

[SPEAKER_00]: Body's handsome confirm the police theory of how the women were abducted.

[SPEAKER_00]: add that he would sometimes let a potential victim go.

[SPEAKER_00]: If she convinced him, she would not report him to the police.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe you're telling the truth, fuck steak.

[SPEAKER_00]: He indicated that he began killing in the early 1970s.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hansen showed a best skater 17 grave sites in

[SPEAKER_00]: they're still remain marks on this map that he refused to give up, including three in Resurrection Bay near Syria.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, while I think they had found their bodies by now, put them out there on the ice, and they

[SPEAKER_00]: followed out in the spring and they're never going to find them and they can't charge them right?

[SPEAKER_00]: The authorities expect to these marks are the grace of the old and immigrant, whom Hanson has denied killing.

[SPEAKER_00]: The remains of 12 of a problem 21 to 37 victims were exhumed by the police and returned to their families, thank God.

[SPEAKER_00]: And again, he was sentenced to 461 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

[SPEAKER_00]: And they first locked him up in Louis Barre, Pennsylvania at the United States Penitentiary.

[SPEAKER_00]: And in 1988, he was returned to Alaska, and he was incarcerated to the Limit Creek Correctional Center in June.

[SPEAKER_00]: who's also in prison at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward until May 2014, when he was transported to the Anchorage Correctional Complex for health reasons.

[SPEAKER_00]: And Hanson went to hell on August the 21st of 2014 at age 75, because he died in the last original hospital in Anchorage

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, I missed a Hanson on this day.

[SPEAKER_00]: On this day, 12 years ago, the fire is a hell burning a whole lot, hotter, how many when you got there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all they've done, maybe he's about this and I actually never watched it, but neck at fear of 2007.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's based off Robert Hansen, but in the wilderness, and he makes a call of the frozen ground with John Kiesack, and they've done documentaries on the FBI files, then another

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, most evil killers, then I mean, it's a shit ton.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I missed a handsome, you didn't want to be an immediate, but you are.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there you have it.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right y'all, that's it, it's all I got for today, but it's a whole lot cooler in Alaska than it is right here right now.
