About this listen
The horrific true story of serial kidnapper, rapist, and killer Robert Hansen’s reign of terror
As oil-boom money poured into Anchorage, Alaska the city quickly became a prime destination for the seedier elements of society: prostitutes, pimps, con men, and criminals of all breeds looking to cash in. However, something even worse lurked in their midst.
To all who knew him, Robert Hansen was a typical hardworking businessman, husband, and father. But hidden beneath the veneer of mild respectability was a monster whose depraved appetites could not be sated. From 1971 to 1983, Hansen was a human predator, stalking women on the edges of Anchorage society - women whose disappearances would cause scant outcry, but whose gruesome fates would shock the nation. After his arrest, Hansen confessed to 17 brutal murders, though authorities suspect there were more than 30 victims.
Alaska State Trooper Walter Gilmour and writer Leland E. Hale tell the story of Hansen’s twisted depredations - from the dark urges that drove his madness to the women who died at his hand and finally to the authorities who captured and convicted the killer who came to be known as the “Butcher Baker.”

Horrifying
I think this book overall is great, especially considering I got it for free (included in subscription). I don't love the narration, it comes off slightly robotic compared to some other audiobooks I have listened to.
I think the story is shocking and I think it's absolutely disgusting that it required so much convincing to be able to investigate the cases and how much pressure the detective needed to put on superiors and prosecutors to even get anywhere and to be taken seriously despite the mounting evidence.
I feel for his wife and children in this who seem to be innocent, I can't put myself in their shoes and even begin to think about how I would be if my entire world was turned upside down with finding out someone I was married to was a serial killer with seemingly no remorse.
Even moreso, I feel for not only the victims but their families who have to now live without their loved ones, some whose bodies are still to be discovered.
I didn't know much about this case beforehand but I think this book did a good job at telling the story and how it all unfolded, definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn about the case and what it took to bring charges against him.
