The Butcher Baker: The Hunt for Robert Hansen

This episode chronicles the criminal history and eventual downfall of Robert Hansen, an Alaskan serial killer known as the "Butcher Baker." Between 1972 and 1983, Hansen targeted vulnerable women, specifically sex workers and runaways, whom he would kidnap and hunt in the remote wilderness. Despite his outward appearance as a mild-mannered baker, he committed at least 17 murders before a courageous escape by victim Cindy Paulson provided the crucial evidence needed for his arrest. Investigators discovered that the delay in capturing him was fueled by societal indifference toward his victims and his lack of a prior violent reputation among local police. Ultimately, Hansen was sentenced to 461 years in prison, where he remained until his death from natural causes in 2014.
