What crimes did Robert Hansen commit?
Hansen claimed to have killed over a dozen women, although as previously demonstrated in The Butcher Baker: Mind of a Monster (2020), he was only charged with the murder of four of them. Among the people on his never-ending victim list are Sherry Morrow, Sue Lana, Cindy Paulson, and Tami Pederson.
Hansen started working at a bakery when he was 20 and loved hunting. When he moved to Alaska, he went on a rampage. Robert was involved in thefts, abductions, r*pe, and murder. In 1960, Robert got married. However, his marriage did not last long as his wife found out about his psychotic tendencies as previously shown in The Butcher Baker: Mind of a Monster (2020).
He burnt his old school's bus garage and went to jail. In the following years, he kept coming in and out of jail for multiple cases like arson, fraud, and theft.
As shown in The Butcher Baker: Mind of a Monster (2020), Robert would find prostitutes and take them to isolated areas to fulfill his s*xual fantasies. The women who failed to fulfill his desires were brutally r*ped and murdered by him. Robert had also purchased a plane to go far and hunt.
Robert liked to strip his victims naked and let them run. After a minute, he ran behind his prey and hunted them down with his gun and knives for his adrenaline rush. After Cindy, one of Robert’s victims, escaped in 1983, she went to the officers and reported his crimes. The crime team then searched Robert’s house and plane and found evidence including a hunting rifle, jewelry of multiple missing women, and more.
