Robert Hansen

Her mother, Louisa Hazel.

louisa suffered a broken hip and came to live with nanny for care she died just a few days after arriving following a lethal dose of poison mixed into her meals i mean god damn she had a lot of victims and i suppose it was easy for her to get away with it for some time given this happened from the 1920s to the 1950s and they didn't suspect a sweet woman with a family would just start poisoning everyone Okay, next we have Robert Hansen from Alaska.

Robert Hansen, often called the Butcher Baker, was an American serial killer who terrorized Anchorage, Alaska throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.

On the surface, Hansen seemed like a quiet, unassuming family man.

He ran a successful local bakery, was a champion archer, and was married with children.

Today, we travel to the frozen wilderness of Alaska, where a quiet baker, devoted family man, and skilled big game hunter hid a horrifying secret behind his seemingly ordinary life.

To his neighbors, Robert Hansen was a hardworking business owner who spent his days baking bread and his free time flying his private plane into the remote Alaskan bush.

But beneath that respectable exterior was a predator who abducted women, transported them deep into the wilderness, and subjected some to a terrifying hunt from which there was almost no escape.

As we uncover the crimes of the man who became known as the Butcher Baker, we'll follow the trail of disappearances, violence, and evidence that finally exposed one of Alaska's most notorious serial killers and reveal how Hansen managed to hide in plain sight for years.

On weekends, he piloted his small private airplane over the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness and earned a reputation as a skilled big game hunter who brought home impressive trophies.

But beneath this ordinary, even respectable exterior, lurked one of the most sadistic serial killers in American history.

For more than 12 years, Robert Hansen abducted at least 17 women, possibly as many as 21, and turned the vast, unforgiving Alaskan bush into his personal hunting preserve.

He didn't just kill them.

That's crazy to me.

There is a serial killer from Alaska, very, very famous, the Butcher Baker.

And he used to take sex workers back to his house and they would go missing.

He would take them up in his personal plane and then hunt them in the wilderness.

Hopefully thousands of years more.

so good so good so on that note we should dive into this because this is a doozy of a case and i dove like way deep in i worked on this for a long time and i'm glad we did our alaska cruise before i researched this case because it's horrifying so this is the story of terror in alaska the story of robert hansen who is otherwise became known as the butcher baker and most importantly his victims So for years, women had been disappearing from the streets of Anchorage, Alaska.

But the true extent of what was really happening wasn't brought to light until Monday, June 13th, 1983, when a 17-year-old girl was found running, naked, terrified, and handcuffed down the street.

And she later told an Anchorage police officer a harrowing tale of being abducted by a man who had brought her back to his home.

He was taking women that were vulnerable.

It wasn't until the bodies of four young females were discovered in the wilderness over the course of three years when authorities could no longer deny that a serial killer was most likely responsible.

Although he may have looked completely unassuming as a family man on the outside, at 45 years old, Robert or Bob Hanson would eventually confess to killing 17 women.

His confession came after investigators found two aviation maps in his home that that were marked with over 20 markings on them that were no doubt indicating where he discarded his victims' bodies.
