Mind of a Monster: The Butcher Baker
Hosted by criminal psychologist Michelle Ward, Mind of a Monster brings you exclusive access and insight into depraved killers. Hear from history’s most notorious serial killers—with chilling audio straight from the monsters themselves.
Season 6 examines the case of the Butcher Baker, Robert Hansen. 1980s Alaska: a swirling, chaotic mix of oil workers, dancers, sex workers and old-school cops. On the seedy 4th Avenue strip in Anchorage, nicknamed the world’s longest bar, women start to go missing, plucked from the street or the bars and never seen again.
In this 7-part series, Dr. Michelle Ward investigates the case of one of the US’s most prolific, but not widely known, serial killers. She’ll talk to survivors, criminology experts and the police on the ground, uncovering audio tapes, police reports and old newspaper articles, all to reveal the killer’s identity as it happened.
