170: Hunted - The Butcher Baker Part 02

Anchorage’s pipeline boom promised prosperity, but under the neon and snow, someone was hunting. In this episode, we revisit the disappearances of young women—Megan Emerick, Mary Phil, Roxanne Eastland, and more—whose lives were too easily dismissed as the city looked the other way. Through survivor testimony, including Cindy Paulson’s harrowing escape, we chart the failures that let a predator thrive and the dogged investigators who refused to let the case go cold. Forensic breakthroughs and psychological profiling peel back the mask of Robert Hansen, the “Butcher Baker,” revealing calculation where others saw banality. Obscura’s trademark approach—unflinching, empathetic, and meticulously sourced—honors the victims while mapping the long, frozen road to justice.

21:02.964 --> 21:07.149
[SPEAKER_03]: Once engaged in the act, Cindy's client handcuffed one of her hands to the car seat.
21:07.789 --> 21:13.916
[SPEAKER_03]: When Cindy tried to free herself, the man pulled out a gun and held it to her head while quickly cuffing her other hand.
21:14.576 --> 21:18.540
[SPEAKER_03]: The man repeatedly told Cindy that if she cooperated, she wouldn't get hurt.
21:19.341 --> 21:23.624
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy was terrified, but fought against her urge to struggle in case things got worse.
21:24.225 --> 21:25.325
[SPEAKER_03]: But they did anyway.
21:25.345 --> 21:35.933
[SPEAKER_03]: The man told her he was taking her to his house, and proceeded to drive through the streets of Anchorage told Arbor Road in the suburb of Maltune, an upper class area not far from town.
21:36.633 --> 21:42.938
[SPEAKER_03]: They eventually stomped at a large blue grey ranch style house, where the man forced Cindy inside and down to the basement.
21:43.778 --> 21:45.699
[SPEAKER_03]: There was a couch in bars on the windows.
21:46.420 --> 21:54.504
[SPEAKER_03]: The bare skin rug was on the floor near a pool table, and the wood panel walls were adorned with hunting trophies in the form of mountain animal heads.
21:55.344 --> 21:59.547
[SPEAKER_03]: The savage and pained expressions on the motionless faces made Cindy skin crawl.
22:00.187 --> 22:10.413
[SPEAKER_03]: But before she had time to think further, the man stripped Cindy naked, handcuffed her to a chair, and tied a rope around her neck, securing the other end to a coffee table.
22:11.579 --> 22:13.920
[SPEAKER_03]: casually told Cindy that she wasn't the first.
22:14.640 --> 22:17.822
[SPEAKER_03]: Now he'd previously brought seven other girls back to his house.
22:18.542 --> 22:27.265
[SPEAKER_03]: Usually keeping them in the den for a week or more before killing them, the man raped Cindy on the rug without a condom and orgasm after only three minutes.
22:28.006 --> 22:30.947
[SPEAKER_03]: He also had been her nipples and sexually assaulted her with a hammer.
22:32.168 --> 22:39.450
[SPEAKER_03]: Afterwards, the man allowed Cindy to use the bathroom, but he followed her, keeping her restrained with a rope around her neck and handcuffs on.
22:40.190 --> 22:46.232
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy was hopeful at the prospect of an escape route via bathroom window, but she found it nailed shut.
22:47.072 --> 22:59.035
[SPEAKER_03]: When Cindy returned from the bathroom, the man said her on the floor near the pool table, kept her handcuffed and replaced the rope with a chain he wrapped around her neck four times, securing the other end to a metal post.
22:59.915 --> 23:02.176
[SPEAKER_03]: She could move around a little, but not much.
23:03.237 --> 23:07.019
[SPEAKER_03]: The chain was tight, and if Cindy moved too much, she'd be choked.
23:07.659 --> 23:11.702
[SPEAKER_03]: Her captor weighed down on the couch to have a nap, and turned on the TV.
23:12.482 --> 23:13.943
[SPEAKER_03]: But warned her not to wake him.
23:14.863 --> 23:18.466
[SPEAKER_03]: The man fell asleep, leaving Cindy chained up the entire time.
23:19.246 --> 23:25.910
[SPEAKER_03]: By the time five hours had passed, Cindy needed to relieve herself again, and had to resort to using a towel nearby the pool table.
23:26.653 --> 23:33.219
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy briefly considered hitting the man with a pool steak laying on the pool table, but figured if she killed him, she'd be left for dead.
23:34.000 --> 23:36.382
[SPEAKER_03]: And if she didn't kill him, she'd wake him.
23:37.383 --> 23:42.248
[SPEAKER_03]: When her captor awoke, Cindy begged to go home and promised she wouldn't tell anyone what happened.
23:43.166 --> 23:50.149
[SPEAKER_03]: Instead, the man told her that because he liked her so much, he would take her in as falling to his cabin to have sex with her once more.
23:50.770 --> 23:52.631
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, bring her back to Anchorage.
23:53.391 --> 23:58.833
[SPEAKER_03]: The man told Cindy that if she tried to escape or get anyone in detention, he'd kill both her and them.
23:58.853 --> 24:01.435
[SPEAKER_03]: But if she cooperated, he'd let her go.
24:02.315 --> 24:05.237
[SPEAKER_03]: He told her he'd take a lot of girls up there for fun.
24:05.257 --> 24:07.498
[SPEAKER_03]: And he already had an alibi.
24:08.238 --> 24:12.661
[SPEAKER_03]: As his friends were willing to lie for him, but Cindy and Nushe won't be returning.
24:13.181 --> 24:16.683
[SPEAKER_03]: The man forced Cindy to lay down on the back seat of his car, covered up.
24:17.403 --> 24:20.465
[SPEAKER_03]: In the passenger seat of the vehicle, she noticed a rope in a gun.
24:21.510 --> 24:24.811
[SPEAKER_03]: The pair arrived in marijuana field, just outside Anchorage.
24:25.471 --> 24:29.612
[SPEAKER_03]: The man left Cindy in the car while he tended to a light plane parked on the air strip.
24:30.152 --> 24:34.093
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy saw him put a firearm into the plane and fiddle with the seat in the cockpit.
24:35.034 --> 24:41.895
[SPEAKER_03]: She saw her chance, and opening the car door she's spring from the back seat, running as far into town as she could.
24:41.915 --> 24:47.057
[SPEAKER_03]: The last thing she saw as she looked behind her was the man chasing her, wielding a gun.
24:47.957 --> 24:51.999
[SPEAKER_03]: shouting, stop you bitch, stop or I'll kill you.
24:52.019 --> 24:59.683
[SPEAKER_03]: A hysterical Cindy ran partially dressed barefoot and handcuffed all the way to six Avenue and flagged down a passing truck.
25:00.283 --> 25:01.644
[SPEAKER_03]: She screamed at the motorist.
25:02.164 --> 25:03.265
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to kill me.
25:03.285 --> 25:08.567
[SPEAKER_03]: And begs him to take her to the mush-in, where Cindy asked staff to call her if him to come and get her.
25:08.588 --> 25:12.389
[SPEAKER_03]: The motorist continued on to work, where he then contacted police.
25:13.270 --> 25:16.952
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy meanwhile was taken to the big timber hotel, where she was staying.
25:17.845 --> 25:26.670
[SPEAKER_03]: Deserved by the state of Cindy's distress and unable to calmer down, her pimp took off with a gun towards Merrill Airfield on a vigilante mission of his own.
25:27.730 --> 25:33.273
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy still had the handcuffs on and was desperately trying to remove them when police arrived in the big timber motel.
25:34.013 --> 25:39.936
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy was then taken to APD headquarters where she gave a formal statement and relived her horrific experience.
25:40.657 --> 25:46.700
[SPEAKER_03]: Despite her extreme distress, Cindy described in detail what she saw on the man's house and basement.
25:47.789 --> 25:50.712
[SPEAKER_03]: She saw women's clothing in the laundry and toys in the tent.
25:51.473 --> 25:55.276
[SPEAKER_03]: She told the APD that her doctor wouldn't hurt to say nasty things.
25:56.037 --> 25:59.420
[SPEAKER_03]: Kid memorized the location of the house in the tail number of the plane.
25:59.440 --> 26:07.688
[SPEAKER_03]: If I were super cub, she also told police that she had left her blue pumps on the passenger side floor of the few expects seat at the airport.
26:08.248 --> 26:10.190
[SPEAKER_03]: As evidence, she'd been inside the car.
26:11.071 --> 26:16.877
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy described her attacker as wiring, scruffy, five foot six inches tall with glasses and a stutter.
26:17.478 --> 26:24.005
[SPEAKER_03]: The nature of her description about the car, playing in the man's house, were so detailed that the police were compelled to check it out.
26:24.806 --> 26:31.893
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy was taken to the hospital for a rape exam, where she was found to have vaginal bruising as well as shackle marks around her neck and wrists.
26:32.614 --> 26:35.756
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy told police that during her ordeal she was on her period.
26:36.417 --> 26:44.963
[SPEAKER_03]: Being a quick thinker instead of removing and discarding her tampon during the assault, she kept it in in the hopes that police could use it to obtain forensic evidence.
26:45.684 --> 26:49.607
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy told police, this motherfucker wasn't going to get away with him.
26:50.207 --> 26:55.852
[SPEAKER_03]: I knew I was in trouble, but if there was any chance of me getting away, he wasn't getting away with it.
26:57.046 --> 27:02.710
[SPEAKER_03]: After Cindy gave her statement, investigators drove her to Merrill Airfield, where she identified the plane.
27:03.410 --> 27:07.853
[SPEAKER_03]: While they were there, a security guard approached police to report that at five, fourteen a.m.
27:07.893 --> 27:08.454
[SPEAKER_03]: that day.
27:08.954 --> 27:14.258
[SPEAKER_03]: He had seen a white male wearing a green coat and a cab, running from the plane to a green vehicle.
27:14.818 --> 27:21.383
[SPEAKER_03]: Something about the situation had seemed off, and the security guard wrote down the vehicle's license plate, which he gave to the police.
27:22.303 --> 27:38.675
[SPEAKER_03]: License play a number matched a green viewic registered to Robert Hansen Listener your call from part one a forty four-year-old Robert was a well-known Anchorage businessman and Evan Hunter who ran a popular vocal bakery
27:39.595 --> 27:44.859
[SPEAKER_03]: He moved from Iowa to Alaska in nineteen sixty seven with his wife and soon fell right at home.
27:45.620 --> 27:49.543
[SPEAKER_03]: Often going out in his life plane to hunt wild life on the outskirts of town.
27:49.563 --> 27:54.447
[SPEAKER_03]: By her hands and wasn't home and police arrived to question him about Cindy's claims.
27:55.127 --> 28:00.272
[SPEAKER_03]: When he pulled up moments later, police noted that he fit in the physical description Cindy had provided.
28:01.152 --> 28:03.876
[SPEAKER_03]: Police informed Robert of the allegations against him.
28:03.896 --> 28:11.467
[SPEAKER_03]: He was shocked, but consent into a police search of his home, business, vehicle, sandplane, as well as an interview.
28:12.661 --> 28:17.642
[SPEAKER_03]: The search revealed that Cindy hadn't been inside Robert's house and car at some stage.
28:18.442 --> 28:24.224
[SPEAKER_03]: But there was no evidence in the house door car that any rape or physical assault they can place as Cindy claimed.
28:24.984 --> 28:29.665
[SPEAKER_03]: It was fitting wall panel in the house revealed the stash of weapon stored in the cavity behind it.
28:30.265 --> 28:36.647
[SPEAKER_03]: But given Robert was a keen hunter and had kids in the house, it was no surprise they were stored in such a concealed way.
28:37.958 --> 28:42.561
[SPEAKER_03]: Volver was recovered by police, but inconsistent with the one that described by Cindy.
28:43.261 --> 28:47.384
[SPEAKER_03]: Another reason in the rest would prove difficult was because Robert's alibi is checked out.
28:47.944 --> 28:51.927
[SPEAKER_03]: During his interview, Robert told police the nice Cindy claims she was kidnapped.
28:52.367 --> 28:55.269
[SPEAKER_03]: He was at a friend's house from five to eleven thirty p.m.
28:55.469 --> 28:56.830
[SPEAKER_03]: repairing an airplane seat.
28:57.470 --> 29:00.992
[SPEAKER_03]: He then visited another friend where he stayed until five thirty a.m.
29:01.032 --> 29:01.633
[SPEAKER_03]: that morning.
29:02.133 --> 29:04.975
[SPEAKER_03]: Finally driving to the airport to install the repaired seat.
29:05.775 --> 29:11.322
[SPEAKER_03]: Robert told police that he never met Cindy, and that his family was away in Europe on some evocation.
29:11.342 --> 29:16.608
[SPEAKER_03]: In an attempt to show how absurd he found the whole situation, Robert joked to police.
29:17.329 --> 29:18.731
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't rape a prostitute.
29:19.091 --> 29:19.531
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you?
29:23.607 --> 29:38.355
[SPEAKER_03]: Day following her abduction, Cindy big grubber out of a line up without hesitation, but she refused to take a polygraph test and when she suddenly left town soon after, the APD decided to take the word of the respective local business man, with a saw on L.A.
29:38.395 --> 29:43.157
[SPEAKER_03]: by against the word of a sex worker, whom they concluded at fabricated her story.
29:43.878 --> 29:48.180
[SPEAKER_03]: Besides, this was the guy who were in the business where the cops fought their donuts and coffee.
29:49.010 --> 29:55.415
[SPEAKER_03]: Sex workers send a reputation for being unreliable when it came to assisting in police investigations at the best of times.
29:56.216 --> 29:58.097
[SPEAKER_03]: But this distrust went both ways.
29:58.898 --> 30:04.102
[SPEAKER_03]: Sex workers and exotic dancers were all too familiar with the judgment and the stain from the local community.
30:04.863 --> 30:09.447
[SPEAKER_03]: Even if police could identify the whereabouts of a woman who worked in a club or brothel.
30:09.947 --> 30:13.089
[SPEAKER_03]: There was no guarantee they'd even be provided with a correct name.
30:13.770 --> 30:19.053
[SPEAKER_03]: Many of the women went by stage names, so sometimes you never really knew who you were talking to.
30:19.814 --> 30:23.556
[SPEAKER_03]: For the APD, who's investigative resources were already stretched.
30:24.137 --> 30:28.060
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy's kidnapping and rape, serious as it was, was not murder.
30:28.740 --> 30:35.743
[SPEAKER_03]: Reports made to police by sex workers who had been attacked or victimized by their clients, their fans, simply weren't prioritized.
30:36.304 --> 30:40.606
[SPEAKER_03]: And it appeared to Cindy Volson, at least, that her claims would be treated the same way.
30:40.626 --> 30:45.948
[SPEAKER_03]: The unsolved murders of the missing dancers took priority when it came to police resources.
30:46.609 --> 30:52.832
[SPEAKER_03]: But no further evidence to corroborate Cindy's account, the investigation into her abduction was officially suspended.
30:53.572 --> 30:59.519
[SPEAKER_03]: But something about it didn't sit right with the APD officer, Greg Baker, who continued to make inquiries.
31:03.003 --> 31:09.451
[SPEAKER_03]: For officer Baker, it was clear that it was only a matter of time before another young woman went missing in the Anchor area.
31:10.292 --> 31:13.115
[SPEAKER_03]: And only a matter of telling before another body turned up.
31:14.373 --> 31:16.414
[SPEAKER_03]: September, second, nineteen eighty-three.
31:16.934 --> 31:26.756
[SPEAKER_03]: Just three months after Cindy Paul's sense ofduction and rape, road construction crew found decomposed human skeletal remains buried in a shallow grave on the banks of the Kinek River.
31:27.536 --> 31:31.577
[SPEAKER_03]: When struvers investigated, they found the body of a woman wearing tan boots.
31:32.237 --> 31:39.539
[SPEAKER_03]: The victim was clothed, however, her jeans were unbund and unsept, and her stripes sweater and bra had been cut in half at the front.
31:40.259 --> 31:42.340
[SPEAKER_03]: The Ramonis of the location was puzzling.
31:42.360 --> 31:47.143
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't far from where Sherry Maro's body had been found just over a year earlier.
31:47.683 --> 31:51.245
[SPEAKER_03]: But the only way this place could be accessed was by boat or a light plane.
31:52.205 --> 31:54.847
[SPEAKER_03]: At the end of the odds, the dam from the body was discovered.
31:54.867 --> 31:58.649
[SPEAKER_03]: The victim was estimated to be aged in early late twenties to early thirties.
31:59.509 --> 32:09.232
[SPEAKER_03]: She had been raped in the cause of death with the single gunshot wound to the sternum from a June twenty-three caliber bullet, which had passed through her heart with the shell casing found near her body.
32:09.812 --> 32:13.413
[SPEAKER_03]: The victim had been naked when shot, and then dressed after she was killed.
32:14.033 --> 32:20.875
[SPEAKER_03]: Given the advanced state of decomposition, police had to rely on dental records and manage to identify her as thirty-year-old Paula Golden.
32:21.515 --> 32:27.460
[SPEAKER_03]: Paula grew up in Kona, Hawaii, moved to Alaska and found work as a secretary in the Fairbanks area.
32:27.861 --> 32:33.205
[SPEAKER_03]: She soon relocated to Anchorage to try her hand at exotic dancing at the Grandalask and Bush Company.
32:33.886 --> 32:37.829
[SPEAKER_03]: Paula's co-worker and roommate eventually reported her missing to the APD.
32:38.290 --> 32:44.075
[SPEAKER_03]: Sanxia had been seen since April, twenty-fourth when she went to meet a man for a date whom she admitted a bar.
32:44.795 --> 32:48.599
[SPEAKER_03]: It was reported that the man had offered Paul at two hundred dollars to meet him for lunch.
32:49.100 --> 32:52.103
[SPEAKER_03]: It was adamant that she'd take a cab to their agreed meeting place.
32:52.884 --> 33:05.357
[SPEAKER_03]: Police were disturbed at the similarities between Sherry Maro and Paula Goulding's murders, and the discovery of Paul's body convinced stage trooper Sergeant Glenn Flothi that a serial killer was stalking the streets of Anchorage.
33:09.965 --> 33:17.528
[SPEAKER_03]: The state's roofers established a task force to investigate and link similarities between the reports of missing women and the known murder victims.
33:17.588 --> 33:21.029
[SPEAKER_03]: But these reports were difficult to investigate.
33:28.772 --> 33:37.378
[SPEAKER_03]: Given the transient nature of the floating population itself, Anchorage wasn't a place for exotic dancers and sex workers settled down to build a steady clientele.
33:37.978 --> 33:44.663
[SPEAKER_03]: It was challenging for police to trace women who arrived in town only to leave a few weeks or months later to see work elsewhere.
33:45.423 --> 33:52.733
[SPEAKER_03]: Law enforcement sent to work and educating women in the area about how to protect themselves, especially exotic dancers and sex workers.
33:53.434 --> 34:00.503
[SPEAKER_03]: By September, nineteen eighty-three, fifteen potential suspects had been identified as possibly responsible for abducting, briefing.
34:01.023 --> 34:03.344
[SPEAKER_03]: and murdering a slew of young women in the area.
34:03.984 --> 34:09.926
[SPEAKER_03]: So far, police had visited bars and clubs who were women provided them with names of men, they called bad deeds.
34:10.666 --> 34:15.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys who were creepy or just gave them a weird vibe, and made them feel unsafe or fearful.
34:16.348 --> 34:19.049
[SPEAKER_03]: Police conducted thorough background checks on these men.
34:19.069 --> 34:21.650
[SPEAKER_03]: But so far, it come up with nothing.
34:22.430 --> 34:29.257
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, APD Officer Greg Baker continued to investigate the abduction and rape of seventeen-year-old Cindy Paulson.
34:29.898 --> 34:37.126
[SPEAKER_03]: Like Sergeant Flosey, Officer Baker couldn't shake the feeling that Cindy's traumatic experience and detailed account was not only truthful.
34:37.726 --> 34:47.093
[SPEAKER_03]: But directly linked to the reports of missing women in the Anchorage area, the investigation in the Cindy's claims by the ABD have been officially closed by senior officers.
34:47.694 --> 34:53.959
[SPEAKER_03]: But Officer Baker couldn't ignore his instinct that told him that Robert Hanson was more involved and originally suspected.
34:54.780 --> 35:00.924
[SPEAKER_03]: Unable to wait while more women went missing, Officer Baker defied his superior's and started digging around.
35:01.985 --> 35:08.206
[SPEAKER_03]: Researching Robert's hard copy-bullies and core records from every town he had lived prior to arriving in Anchorage.
35:09.006 --> 35:13.387
[SPEAKER_03]: In order to determine whether his criminal history was more extensive than first thought.
35:13.407 --> 35:18.448
[SPEAKER_03]: Robert's prior art and conviction proved that Officer Baker was on the right track.
35:19.248 --> 35:30.190
[SPEAKER_03]: Officer Baker sent hard copies of Robert Hansen's criminal records, as well as a report detailing his suspicions to Sergeant Glenn Flothi, who was ending up the state troopers investigation.
35:31.010 --> 35:36.795
[SPEAKER_03]: Sergeant Floathees were a few of missing persons data in Alaska revealed eight similar cases that formed a pattern.
35:37.416 --> 35:46.924
[SPEAKER_03]: The missing women were in their late teens to their twenties, between five foot four and five foot seven inches tall, and weighed between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and twenty five pounds.
35:47.744 --> 35:57.493
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy Volson was consistent with his victim, Brofile, and the information provided by Cindy several months earlier, Paul Robert Hansen at the top of Sergeant Floathees' list of suspects.
35:58.233 --> 36:02.996
[SPEAKER_03]: Sergeant Floathe also found that Robert owned a cabin near the site where bodies had been recovered.
36:03.636 --> 36:07.679
[SPEAKER_03]: And if all of them in on the suspect to list, he was the only one to own to blame.
36:08.539 --> 36:14.363
[SPEAKER_03]: The state troopers began monitoring Robert Hansen's fights and in out of Merrill Airfield, became up with nothing.
36:15.235 --> 36:25.422
[SPEAKER_03]: Though there was still no direct evidence linking Robert to the murders of Sherry Marrow and Paula Golding, the more surgeon foathy learned, the more he became convinced he had found his killer.
36:26.162 --> 36:34.608
[SPEAKER_03]: Sergeant foathy reached out to the FBI and quantitative Virginia, for assistance in pinpointing behavioral characteristics that could lead him to their suspect.
36:35.288 --> 36:37.450
[SPEAKER_03]: The FBI was specific in their response.
36:38.130 --> 36:40.592
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't tell us about your theories about the suspect.
36:41.442 --> 36:45.323
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell us about the victims in the crime scenes, and we'll tell you, did it.
36:46.383 --> 36:57.446
[SPEAKER_03]: The book Butcher Baker, the true account of an Alaskan serial killer, explains how world-runowned behavior analysis John Douglas saying this colleague Roy Hayes would, compiled the following profile.
36:58.266 --> 37:07.148
[SPEAKER_03]: The killer would be an experienced hunter with low self-esteem, have a history of being rejected by women and would feel compelled to keep souvenirs of his murders.
37:08.145 --> 37:11.547
[SPEAKER_03]: such as victim's jewelry, or even body parts of trophies.
37:12.227 --> 37:18.271
[SPEAKER_03]: They've revoked that the killer was a hard-working, successful businessman, aged between thirty-three to forty-four.
37:18.872 --> 37:23.815
[SPEAKER_03]: It was married to a woman who was likely highly religious or unaware of her husband's activities.
37:24.495 --> 37:26.876
[SPEAKER_03]: They also suggested that the assailant might stutter.
37:27.617 --> 37:35.702
[SPEAKER_03]: The perpetrator specifically chose sex workers and exotic dancers due to the trends in nature of their work, in the fact that they usually went unnoticed.
37:36.484 --> 37:40.465
[SPEAKER_03]: The abuse of sex workers was a way for the perpetrator to seek revenge on women.
37:41.086 --> 37:47.728
[SPEAKER_03]: The profile, fifth, forty-four-year-old Robert Hanson, to a D, and then another disappearance was reported.
37:47.748 --> 37:52.549
[SPEAKER_03]: Twenty-year-old Dalen Frey, arrived in Anchorage from Baltimore, Maryland.
37:52.569 --> 37:59.932
[SPEAKER_03]: Her parents were divorced, and her ex-military father was an absent parent, who required ongoing care following an aneurysm.
38:00.832 --> 38:09.843
[SPEAKER_03]: Dalen, Gord, is an exotic dancer, under the name Sugar, to support a reported heroin dependency, which reported missing in September, in nineteen eighty-three.
38:10.404 --> 38:12.886
[SPEAKER_03]: But hadn't been seen since the previous April.
38:13.647 --> 38:17.071
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, Drew first expanded their search of the Connecticut River area.
38:17.772 --> 38:27.039
[SPEAKER_03]: They were confident that the body count was far higher than the three that had been found so far, but the area was so fast and so removed that a full sweep of the area was impossible.
38:27.660 --> 38:29.381
[SPEAKER_03]: Intruvers came up empty-handed.
38:30.102 --> 38:37.708
[SPEAKER_03]: In an investigation that had gathered a significant amount of purely circumstantial evidence, they were close, just not close enough.
38:38.708 --> 38:46.454
[SPEAKER_03]: Investigators contacted seventeen-year-old Cindy Pohnson, who had escaped from Auburn Hands in the previous June to see if she could remember anything else.
38:47.437 --> 38:48.277
[SPEAKER_03]: and they were in luck.
38:49.178 --> 39:02.224
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy identified a long bearer rifle known as a Thompson contender as the one used during her kidnapping and owned by Robert and a follow-up interview on September twenty seven nineteen eighty three with Sergeant Flosey.
39:02.684 --> 39:05.105
[SPEAKER_03]: Cindy were counted part of her encounter with Robert.
39:15.940 --> 39:22.883
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, I love you.
39:23.063 --> 39:31.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, I love you.
39:33.807 --> 39:35.728
[SPEAKER_01]: I love you.
39:35.948 --> 39:43.411
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, I love you.
39:46.850 --> 39:51.371
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I hit the front of the neck like this.
39:51.651 --> 39:54.232
[SPEAKER_01]: This is tripping.
39:55.212 --> 39:59.874
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going around with my neck and my neck is like this.
40:00.014 --> 40:03.655
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I hit the front of my head.
40:03.755 --> 40:08.076
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm trying to get this into the head again.
40:09.837 --> 40:38.683
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember, you can't remember,
40:40.161 --> 40:44.123
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm teaching you how to know how to cope with all breaks in your body.
40:45.924 --> 40:49.285
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have to teach you on the chair first.
40:49.305 --> 40:52.646
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you know, change the hair.
40:52.706 --> 40:57.849
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have to teach you how to learn how to cheer up and how to make time for the work of all of us.
40:58.549 --> 41:00.410
[SPEAKER_01]: To cross the chair, we'll need one of this in love.
41:00.710 --> 41:03.011
[SPEAKER_01]: And all of them are praying at the time.
41:03.031 --> 41:06.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have to tell you how to learn how to learn how to learn.
41:06.752 --> 41:08.093
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have to learn sexy things about it.
41:10.017 --> 41:13.018
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, she kept telling me what I was doing that I'd be okay.
41:13.039 --> 41:13.679
[SPEAKER_01]: She won't hurt me anymore.
41:13.699 --> 41:38.551
[SPEAKER_01]: After that, I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom and then I was in the bathroom
41:39.984 --> 41:42.125
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they make a little better.
41:42.145 --> 41:42.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I don't know.
41:42.626 --> 41:44.767
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they make a little better.
41:45.767 --> 41:47.989
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
41:49.129 --> 41:50.850
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
41:53.092 --> 41:54.933
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
41:56.694 --> 41:58.035
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
41:58.275 --> 42:02.237
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
42:02.277 --> 42:03.558
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
42:03.578 --> 42:04.919
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
42:04.959 --> 42:06.120
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
42:06.980 --> 42:08.281
[SPEAKER_01]: They make a little better.
42:09.895 --> 42:11.196
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we need to have a baby.
42:11.236 --> 42:16.398
[SPEAKER_01]: And the whole time we need to go to the moment we're enjoying.
42:18.319 --> 42:23.502
[SPEAKER_01]: We told him that she likes me so that he would take me to his cabin.
42:23.782 --> 42:26.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would take me to his cabin.
42:26.724 --> 42:30.706
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would take me to his cabin.
42:30.786 --> 42:35.068
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would take me to his cabin.
42:35.128 --> 42:36.789
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would take me to his cabin.
42:38.428 --> 42:40.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:40.610 --> 42:44.993
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:45.053 --> 42:46.714
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:46.894 --> 42:49.736
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:49.876 --> 42:51.497
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:51.537 --> 42:56.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:56.220 --> 42:57.461
[SPEAKER_01]: And look at all of these things.
42:58.372 --> 43:01.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Sleep with the tunnel in the middle.
43:01.093 --> 43:02.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone's hiding down.
43:02.874 --> 43:04.635
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just mouth or something.
43:04.675 --> 43:07.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Just in the airport, then the passenger sleep in the room.
43:07.916 --> 43:12.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Then again, breathe out, stop the minutes from.
43:12.098 --> 43:14.459
[SPEAKER_01]: And then on top of the car.
43:15.919 --> 43:17.900
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the bigger the truck is in it.
43:18.020 --> 43:22.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Then sleep in the creek, time is in the rain.
43:27.758 --> 43:31.619
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
43:31.679 --> 43:34.181
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
43:34.281 --> 43:37.322
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
43:37.362 --> 43:39.303
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
43:45.493 --> 43:51.835
[SPEAKER_03]: On September, twenty-nine and nineteen eighty-three, Cindy's friends and evidence was collected by the APD from the hospital.
43:51.855 --> 43:55.216
[SPEAKER_03]: An October eleven, it was sent to the FBI.
43:55.876 --> 44:02.318
[SPEAKER_03]: This included Cindy's clothing, samples of her head hair, pubic hair, vaginal fluids stains on her tampon.
44:03.078 --> 44:10.940
[SPEAKER_03]: By mid-December, nineteen eighty-three, the FBI determined that Robert Hanson was the likely source of the semen, found on Cindy's underwear.
44:12.019 --> 44:16.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Mullen Forestle was confident that they could link the murders of seven women to the Anchorage Baker.
44:17.265 --> 44:21.330
[SPEAKER_03]: State Troopers arranged twenty-four hours surveillance to be conducted on Robert.
44:21.891 --> 44:23.493
[SPEAKER_03]: And what they found was concerning.
44:23.513 --> 44:30.261
[SPEAKER_03]: In the early hours of the morning, Robert was observed cruising the dark and streets of Anchorage in his vehicle.
44:31.420 --> 44:40.264
[SPEAKER_03]: By the stage, Robert knew that the police were sniffing around, and investigators worked dogedly to pursue the proverbial smoking gun that would make their case airtight.
44:41.144 --> 44:45.246
[SPEAKER_03]: Law enforcement again reached out to FBI behavior on analysts John Douglas.
44:45.887 --> 44:55.711
[SPEAKER_03]: The Foodle Alaska to assist with the investigation, he suggested that police spring Robert in for questioning while forensic officers simultaneously searched his home without knowledge.
44:56.591 --> 44:59.713
[SPEAKER_03]: If all went according to plan, Robert would confess.
45:04.653 --> 45:13.376
[SPEAKER_03]: In cases involving violent offenses, but in a watershed legal precedent for investigative strategy, this was the first time in the history of U.S.
45:13.496 --> 45:19.198
[SPEAKER_03]: law enforcement that a psychological profile and would be used as the basis of executing a search for it.
45:20.038 --> 45:30.402
[SPEAKER_03]: The war for Robert Selman included women's jewelry and driver's licenses, firearms as described by Cindy Paulson, and the one that killed both Sherry Maro and Paula Golding.
