Robert Chris Hansen entered a plea of guilty to larceny in a building in violation of AS 11.20.150.1He was sentenced to five years incarceration with the proviso that he be eligible for parole at the earliest possible date and that he receive psychiatric therapy to ease his transition back into the community. Hansen appeals this sentence as exces. Robert Hansen appealed his sentence to the Alaska Supreme Court. In August of 1978, they reduced his sentence to time served — one year. He was released in September of 1978 and put on probation. However, the particularly devastating case of Robert Christian Hansen was a travesty of justice that did not slip through a crack. It was all but shoved through a hole. As early as 1971, Alaskan authorities knew of Hansen’s proclivity for kidnapping and sexually assaulting women. Hansen was officially charged with the abduction and rape of Cindy Paulson and the murders of Joanna Messina, Sherry Morrow, Paula Goulding, and the unidentified body known as “Eklutna Annie.” On February 28, 1984, Robert Hansen was sentenced to 461 years plus life in prison with no parole. The case of Robert Hansen , dubbed the “Butcher Baker” and “Casanova Killer” due to his charming demeanor and gruesome crimes, captivated the nation for over three decades. Hansen , a baker by trade, was convicted in 1984 of murdering at least 17 women in the Alaskan wilderness. While justice was eventually served , it’s important to remember the victims of Robert Hansen. They were more than just statistics in a true crime case; they were individuals with hopes, dreams, and families who loved them. The investigation and subsequent prosecution of the Robert Hansen case represents a turning point in law enforcement and the criminal justice system. It highlighted the importance of treating all victims with dignity, the value of forensic science in solving crimes and the need for vigilance in communities. Robert Hansen , infamously dubbed the “Butcher Baker,” lived a double life as a mild-mannered baker and a sadistic predator. Between 1971 and 1983, Hansen raped 30 and murdered at least 17 women, forever etching his name in the annals of true crime infamy.
