In the 1970s and early 80s, American serial killer and baker, Robert Hansen, abducted, raped, and murdered at least 17 young females most of whom were with prostitutes or exotic dancers, in and around Anchorage, Alaska. After abducting his victims, he would release many of them into the Alaskan wilderness and hunted them with a Ruger Mini-14 rifle as well as a hunting knife, which earned him the nickname “The Butcher Baker”. Almost a decade after Hansen’s sinister crime spree began, one of his victims 17-year-old Cindy Paulson was able to escape which helped in leading to his eventual arrest. So, how did Robert Hansen manage to commit so many sexual driven crimes over a decade in Alaska?
