The police didn’t take any of it seriously, it was just sex workers. Until he started to kill ‘’ innocent women’’ there words not mine. as if somehow it was ok to kill some women but not the innocent ones. It’s amazing how women are ranked into innocent or deceiving of their fate because somehow they asked for it and the law not there for them. I hope time have changed.But I doubt it.

    I met Robert Hansen and shook his clammy hand. True story: In 1982 I worked at a convenience store in Fairview, an Anchorage community surrounding a main drag. His bakery was creatively named "Hansen's Bakery" and was next door to the QwikStop in the strip mall on Gambell. It was early morning and I happened to be ending shift as the "night guy".
    Through the glass door to the hallway and his bakery I saw Mr. Hansen and thought I'd step over and meet this dude who owned the donut place next door. We bought donuts from, of course. I'm very tall and I remember him looking up at me with an expressionless face and those same glasses you see at 15:50 in this video. He softly said "hi" in a voice that sounded like he was talking to himself.
    "Not a real outgoing guy", I thought to myself. But I admired him for starting up his own gig and making the American Dream happen for him. I hopped in my car and went home, not knowing I had just met a man who had either recently finished a "hunt" or was getting ready for his next. I shook the hand of a serial killer, not long before he was caught. Eww. This is a true story and I will never forget the look on his face.

      That is indeed the appropriate way to feel about cops. The *only* story anyone needs to hear to completely disregard the idea that the police can be trusted more than any other stranger with a gun is that of Jeffrey Dahmer. One of his victims got away, got to the cops, after having a hole drilled in his head and acid poured into it, and they gave him back to Dahmer, all the while making homophobic jokes.

    • @geovannyleon2187
      @geovannyleon2187 Рік тому +6

      I think that the security guard didn't see him since in the video the guy said he saw a man( He doesn't identify the man as Robert at all in the video) doing something suspicious so he wrote the license plate and probably just left immediately. But then again why didn't the police ask Robert about who drove the car that night since he was "innocent" because of the alibi's ? The answer is simply since in the video it explains that the police didn't believe what Cindy said anymore since the alibi's covered Robert at the time , so they probably took the story as a hoax and took her words as lies due to Cindy not taking the lie detector, so they most likely dismissed her words as lies so yea. In short the security guard said something crucial that would have blow the case open with Cindy's first-hand account if the police were just bit more convinced by Cindy but because she didn't want to take the lie detector test her words were regarded false and Robert with that notion could have lied that a friend of his was at the hangar getting something for him and since the security guard to my knowledge didn't see Robert at all could not deny this lie , so yea it was a great opportunity for justice but with an unfortunate horrifying conclusion of an ending since we now know what happened to those ladies who suffered a fate so gruesome and the killer almost got away with it. If I'm wrong pls correct me.

      Then you're paying attention. The police aren't here to protect us. At best they sometimes solve crimes after the damage is done. But if it's someone from the lower class of society they are more likely to be victimized by the police than helped by them. Damn near a guarantee if you are a minority or someone in crisis.

      As much as i agree that the police didnt do their jobs here and treated the victim badly/ let a serial killer continue on the loose, i think ballen said the security guard had seen him the previous day acting weird at the airport, but it was the day after when he was there trying to fly his victim away, the alibi was from when the woman escaped, not for any previois days he was there.

    • @ianwalters11
      @ianwalters11 Місяць тому

      Sadly I think the cops thought who should we believe? A “respectable local business man” or a “working girl” I imagine it came down to that rationale, wrong as it is for them to make assumptions in that way. I guess it is only human to do that although life is full of people examples why we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Like walking into a shop wearing a suit or smart shoes shirt and tie nobody gives you a second glance. Wear a hoody security will follow you in case you shoplift. Or take the example in the brilliant dark but funny cartoon Monkey Dust (3 seasons but I think the BBC only released 1 on DVD as they were scared about some of the sketches in later seasons). Anyway….there is a sketch about 2 guys being interviewed to be pilots. The first guy looks immaculate and scored top marks for his flying ability but because he had a weird voice they didn’t give him the job. The other guy had a claw for a hand and was constantly drooling and failed all his flying tests. But then he says in a perfect English accent “well folks this your captain speaking settle in for your flight we’ll be arriving at your destination on time”. And they say “great when can you start?” and he gets the job😂

      Definitely the case! Even if she was handcuffed with gun raised at her, she should try and take the chance while in the car to try and cause a head on collision, this is only way to get attention and if someone is pointing a gun at you, then it's only soon or later that they kill you. So may as well try cause a visible accident before being taken to perpetuators place.

    I’m from Alaska and went to university in Anchorage.

He said it messed with his head as adult to learn what that man was doing on the side and reconciling it the image of kindly baker he had. He warned us that you never truly know a person.

So, they didn't believe her -> asked for a polygraph test -> she said "no". It doesn't matter what MrBallen said. For police to ask someone to do a polygraph test, they have to have suspicion that the person is not telling the truth. The fact that she refused the test only reassured them in their own suspicion. They didn't think that there could have been another reason to refuse the test, other than lying.

Not only that, but they then started doubting the victim. You know, the woman who was found running out of the forest, naked and terrified, wearing handcuffs.

      Ultimately I don't know how it was asked, so it's all speculation. But if it is the latter, for 2 separate people to give matching alibis would be pretty convincing.
      At the end of the day, she should've just taken the polygraph test. It would've erased any doubt and brought the killer to justice much faster. Cops ask for polygraph tests to determine what is truth and what isn't.

      Don't forget the motel clerk. While the security guard might not have tied the situation to a crime (keeping in mind a plane's owner would generally be an upper middle class person), he still jotted down the license plate. That was good on him for being a good observer. The clerk made the effort to call the police based on something not seeming to be right with the young guest. That got the 'ball rolling' as far as getting the murderer attention that would eventually be his undoing. On a side note, that was disturbing that a couple people corroborating a simple story could derail the entire young victim's timeline of events, especially considering she had many details up to and including a plane (where the security guard confirmed tying the guy to the girl's story).

Like imagine if she had taken the lie detector test and it tested her as a liar, then police would have completely gone the other direction with her case, and even in finding the new evidence they may have tried to search for another suspect cause "Well Cindy said it was this guy, but our lie detector said she was lying, so it must not be him"

As I was sitting there (no traffic at the overpass) looking at a map, a lady jumped in the passenger side and just said "drive", which I did. I was kinda freaked out, but I got her away from there and ended up taking her to the police department.

      @@juancarlosrodriguez6738 Well, actually I don't think it's strange at all. He already had a speech impediment and was determined to be well liked in a community with straight laced normal law abiding citizens. I mean, he owned a bakery. That's a pretty likeable job in the eyes of a nice little community. His speech impediment most likely left him craving the feeling of fitting in & was probably bullied in school. I think it may have stopped him from getting many dates or he was too shy? His true behavior could (likely) stems from childhood. I would love to know more about how he grew up. Anyways, he picked girls who were "vulnerable" as he told police. The girls who he saw as very needy, lonely and were likely not to be missed too much considering the industry they were in. That to me has coward written all over it. He made dang sure that he had all the power over already powerless girls (in so many ways). The ages tell a story. He picked teens. They aren't as street smart as they haven't really lived long enough to gain experience with the really horrible things in life, I mean they likely fled their homes from really bad situations which left them very vulnerable & not much time to gain a solid footing in life. Running from one horrible thing to another. Teens and early 20s are still naive to a degree regardless of what they've been through. Not only that but their critical thinking skills are not quite developed fully yet making it just one more vulnerability playing in his favor. This guy was a coward through and through. Definitely not an Alpha & in prison the Alphas can smell a beta a mile away. I hope he got all sorts of nasty things happen in jail. He felt like that because he was like that, a coward.

      It's just hilarious to me in a way though, because people will be fascinated by these types of stories and they will easily see how real it is that evil people exist in our world - people who are psychologically evil predators.
      But then their brains do some type of amazing short-circuiting thing when you attempt to explain to them that these types of people are the people who run the world.
      They will sit there and deny it for hours, no matter how much research you have done and no matter how much evidence you give them to prove it.
      Evil people exist. Period.
      And they figured out (10s of thousands of years ago, if not longer) that if they all come together and work in unity to psychologically dominate and enslave the masses that they can become the "gods" of the earth.
      The evidence is OVERWHELMING if you actually do your research.
      But I can already see people trying to attack me for saying this now...

      @@TheChzoronzon I mentioned it for several reasons. The first is that it stated here that the police and others tend to not even make an effort to find missing prostitutes, transgender, or simply person's of a different social group. Secondly, man y rapists and murderers pick these people because they know those cases don't get the same attention as other classes get. Many times no one even knows that they are missing. Just like the guy with the pig farm. He killed over 100 women in what others consider to be a low class person. He knew it would hardly be looked into. I've also heard police admit that they r less likely to believe women who are in what they call "a lower class of people". I have a daughter who is trans. And the treatment she has gotten just in her job alone is just ridiculous. I see the tears every night. I see the hurt and pain. People need to treat every e equally regardless. I know the hurt and pain of being abused by my birth parents, and in foster care and as an adult in an abusive marriage. And I know the pain of these things. I know how it aches. I've never been in this group of people, but I can only imagine what it's liken to be assaulted and have no one listen to them. To be accused of lying. To be told it didn't matter cuz they asked for it. Or some say oh they r on drugs so they deserve what they got. No one deserves to be violated...(I'll make the exception for child molesters, rapists, murderers.....Even animal abusers. But I also believe in our justice system and I believe in God and heaven and hell. Its not my place to be the judge, jury and executioner.
