About this episode

Robert Hansen was a special kind of evil. He was a family man, with a wife and kids, who led a sadistic double life. He was a business owner in Anchorage Alaska and was viewed as a respected member of the community. But he was also a serial rapist and murderer, killing at least 17 and raping more than 30 women. He selected the majority of his female victims from 4th avenue in Anchorage, a place where topless bars were numerous and sex workers were out on the street.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the details of the Alaskan serial killer Robert Hansen. How could this man pull off the double life for 10 years? Part of that answer lies with the victims that Hansen selected, individuals that he felt would not be missed. Part of it has to do with the geography of Alaska and the remote hunting areas where Hansen would take his victims. But as the details of his crimes emerged, it was discovered that Robert Hansen was living out the most dangerous game. He was setting women free in a remote area so that he could hunt them down like animals.
