Not every arsonist &#8220;graduates&#8221; to become a serial killer, but Bob Hansen did. There was something about the thrill of it, the excitement, the danger, that attracted the willful young man. And he wanted to feel that again. First it was theft &#8212; small stuff and then bigger and bigger. His first attempt at stalking a woman, in Anchorage, would go horribly awry. Slowly, but surely, he perfected his approach. With deadly results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Be sure to watch<\/strong>: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowintmedia.com\/news\/id-announces-world-premiere-of-butcher-baker-mind-of-a-monster\" target=\"_blank\">The Butcher, Baker: Mind of a Monster<\/a> on<em> Investigation Discovery<\/em>, September 2, 2020, 9pm\/8 Central. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In this installment, we present audio of Hansen&#8217;s 1983 interview with Alaska State Troopers.
