Marcus Sakey’s Travel Channel series, Hidden City, recently filmed in Anchorage, Alaska. Among the topics: Robert Hansen. Well, of course; Hansen is the state’s worst serial murderer. (The series calls it Robert Hansen’s Most Dangerous Game.)
The show marks the incredible resurgence of interest in the “Butcher, Baker” story. First the movie, The Frozen Ground. And now a Hidden City episode.
The episode also covers the infamous Blackjack Sturgus murder. Sturgus, the first police chief in Anchorage, was shot in the back with a bullet from his own gun. He is said to haunt the Anchorage Hotel, working on the ultimate cold case. His own.
Mark your calendars! We’ll be watching. Hope you will, too.
