Welcome to the 27th episode of Wild Society!

This week’s murder case takes us to Alaska where we learn about an avid hunter gone rogue. Robert Hansen, an unassuming local bakery owner, abducted dancers and sex workers only to take them into the Alaskan wilderness and hunt them down as prey.

Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Wonder Woman. These superheroes rescue the innocent at life's darkest moments. Wouldn't it be great if versions of them existed in real life? Turns out - they do! Across the world, upwards of hundreds of real-life superheroes fight everything from poverty to brutal crimes. In this wild story, you'll hit the streets with two of the most famous of these avengers.
