Robert Hansen: The "Butcher Baker" of Anchorage

In this episode of pplpod, we descend into the chilling double life of Robert Hansen, a mild-mannered bakery owner in Anchorage, Alaska, who harbored a terrifying secret. Known to his neighbors as a record-holding hunter and well-liked local businessman, Hansen was actually a prolific serial killer who abducted women and flew them into the Alaskan wilderness to hunt them like game,.

Join us as we examine the disturbing case of the "Butcher Baker," covering:

• The Predator: How Hansen, a man diagnosed with an "infantile personality" and a history of resentment toward women, utilized his Piper Super Cub airplane to transport victims to remote locations accessible only by air or boat,.

• The Most Dangerous Game: Hansen’s horrific modus operandi of releasing his victims into the woods before stalking them with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle and hunting knives.

• The Escape: The harrowing survival story of 17-year-old Cindy Paulson, who escaped Hansen’s car while he loaded his cockpit at Merrill Field in June 1983, providing the testimony crucial to his downfall.

• The Profile: How Alaska State Trooper Glenn Flothe collaborated with FBI Special Agent John Douglas to build a criminal profile—predicting a stuttering, experienced hunter with low self-esteem—that perfectly matched Hansen,.

• The Evidence: The discovery of a hidden aeronautical chart behind Hansen's headboard, marked with over thirty "x"s that corresponded to the grave sites of his victims.

We conclude with Hansen’s 1984 conviction and sentence of 461 years for the murders of at least 17 women, closing the chapter on one of Alaska's darkest periods,.
