Eventually his buddy’s conscience got the better of him, and he confessed his crimes to the police for his role, Robert was sentenced to three years incarceration. As an act of retribution against the people who he felt had tortured him, Robert talked a young bakery employee into helping him blow up a local school bus barn. Robert’s father, an overbearing man who never did care to have a decent relationship with his son, expected young Robert to be busy at work in the family’s bakery whenever he wasn’t in school.Īs soon as he was of age Robert joined the Army reserves and moved to another town where he found himself a wife, but he was still treated badly. If his social life hadn’t been bad enough, he never could find much solace at home, either. Kids can be so cruel while the boys his own age poked fun of and beat on him, the girls all laughed about how ugly he was.

Growing up Robert was scrawny, he had this terrible stutter, and a super bad case of acne all of this made him the target of bullies everywhere. This actually wasn’t an uncommon thing for parents to do during this time period, plenty of us lefties in past generations were forced to conform, but apparently this deeply scarred this young man. He was a natural leftie, but forced to become right handed. So in 1939 Robert was born in Estherville, Iowa to an immigrant father. The only thing which he ever seemed to truly succeed in, the one thing which others commended him for, were his exceptional hunting skills. While there does not seem to be a singular traumatic event in Robert’s childhood which we can pinpoint, it appears that he’d had a really difficult time in most aspects of his life as a kid and even as an adult he just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) let it go. Psychology tells us that we all process things differently – things that you may be able to shrug off, incidents which may make you stronger and more determined could emotionally break someone else – quite literally. Now a bad childhood doesn’t excuse cold blooded murder, of course, but it can help shed light on how some people are capable of committing atrocities such as these while the majority of us are not. Some people don’t care to dive into it, but it’s the reason that I do this. Let’s touch on this serial’s background for a minute, because that’s important when looking at a killer. Robert thoroughly enjoyed hunting humans these ladies were savagely murdered with his favorite weapons: a Ruger Mini-14 and a hunting knife. She would, of course, run like hell for her life, but the killer would track her down.

The avid hunter would strip his victim naked (often in subzero temperatures) and simply set her free. Whether she’d been taken to his house or not, in the end these women (or the known victims at least) wound up in the Alaskan wilderness. Instead he would immediately force her to board his small bush plane, and he’d fly her out to a desolate area near Knik River where he would sexually assault her in a little shack which he’d occupied there. When his wife, Darla Marie Henrichsen Hensen, and their children were home (they visited family in Arkansas quite often) it’s believed that Robert would simply skip taking his victim home altogether. He liked to take these women home with him, and once a victim had entered this killer’s lair she was pretty much doomed he would take her down to the basement, often to a secret soundproof room where he already had chains rigged up. Like many killers he targeted transient women, they were often exotic dancers and sex workers after he’d charmed the woman of his choice and done his best to convince her of his harmlessness, Robert would talk her into leaving with him.

Robert Hansen is probably the most prolific serial in recent Alaskan history. I’m sorry that these photos needed to be included, but we really can’t discuss this particular serial killer without speaking of hunting. If you’re very sensitive to that sort of thing (I know that much of my audience is ?) then you may wish to skip this one. *Though it’s not super graphic or bloody, this article does contain a couple of images of the killer posing with hunted game animals.
