00:00He looked like the last person you'd ever suspect.
00:02Robert Hansen was a baker in Anchorage, Alaska.
00:05Quiet, soft-spoken, he stuttered when he talked.
00:08He coached his kids, ran his business,
00:10and kept a wall full of hunting trophies at home.
00:12But between 1971 and 1983, he was doing something else entirely.
00:17Hansen would kidnap women, load them into his small private plane,
00:21and fly them deep into the Alaskan wilderness,
00:24miles from any road, miles from anyone.
00:26Then he'd give them a head start, and hunt them down like animals.
00:30The wilderness worked in his favor.
00:32Vast, frozen, and completely silent.
00:34No one could hear anything out there.
00:36He killed at least 17 women.
00:38What finally stopped him was a single survivor.
00:41She escaped, went to police, and told them everything.
00:44Investigators found his flight logs.
00:46They matched the locations of bodies already discovered.
00:49Then they found his hidden collection,
00:51jewelry, and ID cards from his victims,
00:53stored right alongside his hunting trophies.
00:55Robert Hansen was convicted in 1984.
00:58He died in prison in 2014.
01:00The bakery is still there.
