Episode 33: Before You Sits A Monster

Updated: Jun 22, 2020

Alaska is a land of wild tundra, making it an ideal home for adventurers and hunters alike. In the early 1980’s, a hunter would become Alaska’s first known serial killer. Instead of the big game he was known for decorating his walls with, he turned his sight to the vulnerable population of sex workers and indegious women. Through the bravery of a survivor and the tenacity of detectives, Robert Hansen’s second trophy collection would be discovered as would his terrifying secrets. This is the case of the Butcher Baker.

In today’s episode, Alisha as she walks us through the evidence that led to the Butcher Baker’s capture. Later, Forensic Psychologist, Dr. Joni Johnston joins MITR to discuss the pathology behind Robert’s behaviors and murders.
