In the 1960s, during the peak of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline development, a young baker moved his family to Anchorage, Alaska. Once settled, Robert Hansen scouted the area and decided to set up his family-owned bakery in a prime area where pipeline workers came and went, but also where sex workers were also known to frequent the area. Alaskan police soon began taking notice of an increase in rapes and murders amongst young women inside the pipeline district, but little did they know that the person responsible was one of their own citizens. Join Deb and Beth as we discuss how Robert Hansen, aka the Baker Butcher, hid his true identity until one brave woman brought him down and helped to uncover Hansen's true intentions.
