Frank Rothschild quotes Bob Hansen often at his sentencing, pulling one disgusting quote after another from the man’s lips. Rothschild used it as the ultimate condemnation of a man who held no human boundaries. As he closes in on his final remarks, Rothschild adds the bit about Bob’s “summertime project.” It’s a direct quote from Hansen himself. On its own, it’s a damning assertion. He treats these murders like they were a hobby or something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This year, my summertime project will be kidnapping, raping and killing young women. How about yours?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dig a little deeper, though, because the quote comes from a larger context, namely his confession. Troopers were keen on establishing the parameters of his deadly deeds, both in scope and range. They knew the map. They knew there were more. They wanted to know how many more. Because they also knew Hansen’s map pointed to places on the Knik River only accessible by boat or plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hansen’s Confession<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sgt. Glenn Flothe<\/strong>: You mention that this area was pretty populated, but in the winter time with skis you were somewhat unlimited as to where you could go. Your privacy was pretty much up to you. Or were you concerned about flying a long time? You mention three girls but I’m just wondering, with skis, you know in the winter, you could go just about anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Hansen<\/strong>: I could, but winter time wasn’t the time to do it. Things were dormant in the winter time. This was a summertime project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there it is, in plain English. But it’s not true. The facts simply don’t support it. Here’s a list of Hansen’s known (and strongly suspected) assaults, sorted by the month they occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
