When I started combing the Internet<\/a> for Butcher, Baker<\/em> falsehoods, I didn’t have to go very far. I quickly identified four “Red Flag” narratives, ones so egregious they had to be called out. One of the most egregious is the FBI Files docudrama called “Hunter’s Game<\/a>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are multiple errors, one of the sequences in Hunter’s Game<\/em> is a total farce. [1] In their telling, a construction crew found a body while building a road near the Knik River. The doc goes on to claim it was the body of seventeen year old Paula Goulding. That\u2019s when I knew something was drastically amiss. Even criminally wrong. I know, the FBI right?<\/p>\n\n\n

Stories Mixed Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be sure, a work crew did<\/em> find a Hansen victim. Only it wasn\u2019t a road construction crew. And it wasn’t on the Knik River. It was a power line maintenance crew, working on the Eklutna transmission line. And it wasn\u2019t Paula Goulding. It was Eklutna Annie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Eklutna Annie<\/strong> got that nickname because the work crew found her close to the Alaska Native village<\/a> of the same name. Hansen claimed her as his first victim, completely ignoring the women gone missing near Seward in the early-70’s. Whatever.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Glenn Flothe: Where was the start, Bob?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Hansen: The start was the one… was the one body that you found on the Eklutna power line [sic].<\/p>\nRobert Hansen’s confession, February 22, 1984<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Total B.S.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Eklutna Annie was found in a spot quite distinct from where Goulding was discovered. For one, she was fourteen miles southwest<\/em> of the Knik River. Hansen drove her there. Took a back road and got stuck in a seep. That’s when she pulled a knife on him. The line crew, moreover, came across her in 1980, four years before<\/em> Paula was found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how you count, that’s at least three egregious errors right there. There’s more. Like Paula Goulding’s age. Thirty-years-old, not seventeen. [2] [3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight Map Makes Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be fair, Eklutna Annie’s manner of death — brutally stuck with her own knife — suggested something entirely different than Robert Hansen’s M.O. Bob’s victims were usually shot, often with a high-powered rifle. That distinction faded quickly, however, once Troopers found the aviation maps hidden at Hansen’s house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eklutna Annie was #16. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Victim<\/a><\/p>\n

[1] The FBI Files<\/em> was a docudrama crime series that premiered on The Discovery Channel<\/a>. It initially ran from 1998 to 2006 and is now available in-full on YouTube. Season Two, Episode 9<\/a> featured “Hunter’s Game,” focusing on Robert Hansen.<\/p>\n

[2] Whatever you do, don’t get\u00a0gaslighted by the Hansen episode. The behind-the-back handcuffs scene at the start of the docudrama, for instance, is poetic license. Hansen preferred to handcuff his victims from the front. Why? Because it was MUCH<\/em> easier to get them in and out of his plane (and car) when he cuffed them that way. But, you know, truth and all that…<\/p>\n

[3] The Discovery Channel made up for many of their errors when Investigation Discovery (ID) aired “Mind of a Monster<\/a>.” But the FBI B.S. is still out there. Sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
