ROBERT HANSEN...SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM!

On June 13, 1983, 17-year-old Cindy Paulson escaped from 44-year-old Robert Hansen while he was trying to load her into his Piper Super Cub. She told police that she had been offered $200 to perform oral sex, but when she got into the car Hansen pulled a gun on her and drove her to his home; there, he held her captive, torturing, raping, and sexually assaulting her. 

Cindy Paulson escaped when Hansen took her to Merrill Field airport, where he told her that he intended to "take her out to his cabin" accessible only by boat or bush plane). Paulson, crouched in the back seat of the car with her wrists cuffed in front of her body, waited until Hansen was busy loading the airplane's cockpit to make a run for it. Paulson made it to 6th Avenue first and managed to flag down a passing truck. The driver, alarmed by her disheveled appearance, stopped and picked her up. He drove her, upon request, to an Inn, where she jumped out of the truck and ran inside. The truck driver continued on to work, where he called the police to report the barefoot, handcuffed woman. When Anchorage Police Department (APD) officers arrived at the Inn, they were told that the young woman had taken a cab to the Big Timber Motel. APD officers arrived at room 110 of the Big Timber Motel and found Cindy Paulson, still handcuffed, and alone. She was taken to APD headquarters where she described the perpetrator. Hansen, when questioned by APD officers, denied the accusation stating that Paulson was just trying to cause some trouble because he wouldn't pay her extortion demands.

Although Hansen had had several prior run-ins with the law, his meek demeanor and humble occupation as a baker, along with a strong alibi from his friend John Henning, kept him from being considered as a serious suspect, and the case went cold.

This is a story about a serial killer, who sadly represent the sick and demented amongst us inflicting harm  in this world of ours. 
Robert Christian Hansen, born February 15 1939, murdered between 17 and 21 women near Anchorage, Alaska Between 1971 and 1983.  

Detective Glenn Flothe of the Alaska State Troopers had been part of a team investigating the discovery of several bodies in and around Anchorage, Seward and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley area. Supported by Paulson's testimony, Flothe and the APD secured a warrant to search Hansen's plane, cars and home. On October 27, 1983 investigators uncovered jewelry belonging to some of the missing women, as well as an array of firearms in a corner hideaway of Hansen's attic. The biggest find was an aviation map with little x marks on it hidden behind Hansen's headboard.

When confronted with the evidence found in his home, Hansen denied it as long as he could, but eventually began to blame the women and tried to justify his motives. Eventually, confessing to each item of evidence as it was presented to him, he admitted to a spree of attacks against Alaskan women starting as early as 1971. Hansen's earliest victims were young women, usually between 16 and 19, and not the prostitutes and strippers who led to his discovery.

He was convicted in 1983 and is currently serving 461 years in Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Alaska.

If this story is not scary enough to convince you that we do have demons in human form living among us, then just google the name Robert Hansen, which I did after watching the movie 'Frozen Grounds'.

The Frozen Ground is a 2013 American thriller film written and directed by Scott Walker, The film stars Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, Vanessa Hudgens,Katherine LaNasa, Radha Mitchell and 50 Cent. 

Nicholas Cage plays the role of Alaskan detective Glenn Flothe (called Sgt. Jack Halcombe in the film) who sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen played by John Cusack, a serial killer who has silently stalked the streets of Anchorage for more than 13 years. As the bodies of Anchorage women start to add up, Sgt. Halcombe goes on a personal manhunt to find the killer. When 17-year-old Cindy Paulson (Vanessa Hudgens) escapes Hansen's unspeakable violence, she believes the law will take him down. Instead she finds herself, once again, fighting for her life. With his only ally, Cindy Paulson, Sergeant Halcombe is determined to bring the serial killer to justice.

The movie has received mixed reviews from critics. It currently holds a 57% "rotten" rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 47 reviews, with a weighted average of 5.1/10. The site's consensus reads: "Though this by-the-numbers true procedural seems basic, The Frozen Ground presents a welcome return for Nicolas Cage in a solid performance." That I agree! 

John Cusack's extraordinary and scary performance as he played serial killer Robert Hansen was actually very good. In one of the scenes, Cusack is seen loosing his temper when Cage confronts him with evidences incriminating him to the Alaska murders. This movie is the first time John Cusack plays the role of a serial killer, and trust me, he did a very scary good job!

The film begins by displaying Matthew 10:16 on-screen: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves." Which is the truth and enough message that explains how we live in a world where crazy people also call their own, and I assure you that after seeing this film, "you will be careful of speaking to strangers." 

The film was dedicated to all the women that were victims of Hansen's madness and their names and pictures were displayed at the end of the movie.
