Our take on Mind of a Monster: The Butcher Baker podcast

In Mind of a Monster: The Butcher Baker, Michelle Ward cracks the chilling saga of Robert Hansen, Alaska's notorious predator. Each week, for 40 minutes, Ward, a seasoned criminal psychologist, guides us through the grim streets of 1980s Anchorage, where dancers vanished into thin air. The series is a deep dive into a case that rocked the oil boomtown, featuring interviews with survivors and experts and haunting recordings from Hansen himself. It's a stark, eye-opening journey into the heart of human darkness, led by a host with an impressive background in the psychology of crime. Mind of a Monster: The Butcher Baker is a true crime podcast by ID.
