In the vibrant era of the 1960s, when the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline was transforming the landscape, a courageous baker embarked on a life-altering journey with his family to Anchorage, Alaska. Little did they know that their newfound home would become entangled in a web of danger and intrigue.
Meet Robert Hansen, a seemingly ordinary baker with a hidden past. Settling in a bustling neighborhood frequented by pipeline workers and, unfortunately, sex workers, Hansen strategically established his family-owned bakery in the heart of it all. Unbeknownst to the Alaskan police, this unassuming citizen would soon become their worst nightmare.
As the pipeline district experienced a surge in abductions, rapes, and murders targeting young women, the authorities frantically searched for answers. Little did they realize that the sinister mastermind responsible for these heinous crimes walked amongst them.
Join Deb and Beth on an immersive journey as they delve into the chilling tale of Robert Hansen, also known as the Baker Butcher. Unveil the elaborate facade that Hansen meticulously constructed to hide his darkest desires and twisted intentions. With unwavering determination, one brave woman would rise to the challenge and bring this malevolent figure to justice, exposing the truth that lay hidden beneath layers of deceit.
