Cold Open: Alaska. The most remote part of the United States. So much uninhabited land. In total area, it’s twice the size of Texas. With over 375 million acres, it’s bigger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. And it has less people living there than North Dakota and just slightly more people than Vermont. You can really get away from people in Alaska. So many places where you can find yourself with NOBODY else around for miles and miles and miles. And Alaska resident Robert Hansen, an Anchorage-based baker, chose to use this uninhabited remoteness to his raping and murderous advantage for over a decade. In the late 1970’s, Anchorage police began receiving steady reports about missing prostitutes and topless dancers. Initially these disappearances caused little concern, as such girls were notorious for leaving at a moments notice, usually without telling anyone where they were going. But their bodies began to be found. And soon, Alaskan police knew they had a serial killer in their midst. We take a look at Alaska, America’s 49th state, and it’s most notorious serial killer, Robert Hansen aka the Butcher Baker, today, on Timesuck. PAUSE TIMESUCK INTRO I.Welcome!

Segue to Topic: And now … it’s time to dive into another Space Lizard chosen topic. Robert the Butcher Baker Hansen. PAUSE TIMESUCK INTERLUDE II.Intro/Establish Premiss: Robert Hansen was a serial rapist with at least 30 victims that survived and a minimum of 17 who were raped and murdered. Hansen, like too many others, was a serial killers who got away with serial killing because he didn’t come across like a serial killer to the people around him. He seemed like a nice, family-man, donut baker. Who makes delivious chocolate cake donuts AND hunts women in the woods? In a perfect world - no one. In this world, at least Robert Hansen as done that. Hansen was an award winning hunter who put his hunting skills to use on human beings. He was also successful bakery owner. So weird. Local police buying donuts made by the guy they’re thinking about how they’re gonna catch while they’re eating them. The majority of today’s suck is gonna take place in a big ol’ Timesuck Timeline we’re gonna jump into after today’s first sponsor. III.Away Midroll: Timesuck today is brought to you by Away Travel!

PAUSE TIMESUCK TIMELINE INTRO IV.Timesuck Timeline 1.February 15, 1939: February 15th, 1939, the day after Valentine’s Day, a baby boy is born in Estherville Iowa’s, Coleman Hospital. This baby will grow up to be a man who will NOT become some romantic lover. Maybe if he would’ve just been born ONE day earlier? Maybe that would’ve fixed everything? Maybe Cupid could’ve softened him? Probably not.. This baby is Robert Christian Hansen. He’s born to a Danish immigrant baker named Christian Hansen and his wife Edna. And he’ll soon become an insecure, troubled, angry monster. Jobs were scarce in Estherville, a quaint little town of roughly 6,000 people, a town most famous for a 455 pound meteorite that fell to Earth a few miles north of the town in 1879. 2.1942: So, in 1942, when Robert was three, his family headed west. They moved to Richmond, California just north of San Francisco on the San Francisco Bay where they would live for five years. And in Richmond, Christian and Edna would quickly tire of the hustle and grind of trying to pound out a living in a much more populated area. They longed for the comparatively simple life of small town Iowa and they saved money to move back and open their own bakery. 3.1947: In 1947, the Hansens returned to Iowa with their now ten- year-old son and their two-year-old daughter and they settled in Pocahontas, a small town 125 miles northwest of Des Moines. Founded in 1870 within the county of the same name, Pocahontas was one of many towns created during the rapid settlement of the flat, fertile Midwest “Cornbelt” after the Civil War. The town was named after that famous Virginian Indian princess whose benevolence and interventions on behalf of the Jamestown settlers in the 1600s had made her the symbol of the American Indian welcoming Europeans into the "new world." The basic ethnic mix of the town and its surrounding farms was established by German, Bohemian, Scandinavian, and Irish immigrants.

    Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations

    Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations Louis B. Schlesinger, PhD, and Eugene Revitch, MD Burglary, the third most common crime after larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft, is rarely the focus of forensic psychiatric study. While most burglaries are moti- vated simply by material gain, there is a subgroup of burglaries fueled by sexual dynamics. The authors differentiate two types of sexual burglaries: 1) fetish burglaries with overt sexual dynamics; and 2) voyeuristic burglaries, in which the sexual element is often covert and far more subtle. Many forensic practitioners have informally noted the relationship of burglaries to sexual homicide, but this relationship has not otherwise been studied in any detail. In this article, the incidence of (sexual) burglaries by 52 sexual murderers whom the authors eval- uated, as well as the incidence in cases reported by others, is reported. Implica- tions of these findings for forensic assessments and profiling of unidentified offenders are discussed.

Her coworkers are concerned and file a missing person’s report, even though Morrow has a history of coming and going. In their profession, however, it’s usually best to play it safe and alert the authorities, especially because a string of women has recently been reported missing. Several months later, two off- duty police officers discover Morrow’s partially buried body in the Alaskan wilderness. She’s been shot, and a bullet casing and blindfold are found nearby. Morrow’s friends recall last seeing her when she left with a man who offered her $300 to pose for photos, but investigators cannot identify the mysterious customer. The case goes cold until more than one year later, when more bodies surface in much the same manner, signaling that a serial killer is on the loose. The FBI chases every lead but reaches a dead end. Suddenly, they recall a female prostitute who, months earlier, claimed she had been brutally attacked by a customer named Robert Hansen. Circumstantial evidence had cleared him of the charges then, but now the FBI decides that Hansen deserves another look.

Download date 09/10/2021 03:07:55 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4822 MEMORY ON TRIAL: THE MANHUNT FOR ALASKA’S MOST ELUSIVE MASS MURDERER A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF THE ARTS By Brittany A. Retherford, B.A. Fairbanks, Alaska December 2014 © Copyright by Brittany A. Retherford Abstract The fallibility and malleability of human memory played a confounding and troublesome role in the investigation of the 1982 murder of eight people on a fishing boat, theInvestor , in Craig, Alaska, and subsequent trials of law enforcements’ only suspect, John Kenneth Peel. Human memory — including its inherent subjectivity and susceptibility to coercion and change — ultimately resulted in an unsatisfactory resolution for victims’ families and friends, law enforcement, witnesses, and others associated with the events, investigation and legal proceed- ings. This thesis utilizes trial records, police investigation files, newspaper stories, and personal interviews to provide a summary view of the events surrounding the murders, including what is known about the murders, as well as, the subsequent investigation that led to the arrest, two civil grand juries, two jury trials, and the eventual acquittal of John Kenneth Peel. Limitations of memory are analyzed in the context of the overarching historical narrative of a booming com- mercial fishing industry and a rural justice system, including a focus on eyewitness testimony and collective memory.

Aileen Wuornos, who was executed on October 9, 2002, for killing seven men in Florida, the first after a brutal rape, the other six after flashbacks invoked her rage, was no picnic in the courtroom. After she was found guilty, she screamed, “May your wife and children get raped, right in the ass.” 2. John Wayne Gacy was one of those guys who thought he was above the law. “The only thing they can get me for is running a funeral parlor without a license,” he said after police determined he sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 boys, many of whom were buried in his crawlspace. 3.
