Poor Martha, she knew this guy but never thought she was going to die at his own hands. I assume that Martha was at the wrong place at the wrong time when walking outside the bar and meeting Evans Lee Curtis, a very evil man who killed Martha Hansen in an extreme brutal way.

This episode was one of the creepiest Forensic Files episodes I remember seeing, back in the day. I was a kid, watching all of these, when they were brand new. Nostalgia! 😱😱😱
I am glad this murderer and all those murderers who can’t keep their mouth shut. If he hadn’t told that he killed someone with his bare hands, the murderer probably won’t have caught.
@@RussophileAmethystTsarina30 - I agree but we should like stupid murderers. I hope there will never be murderers, but since unfortunately there always will be those crazy, angry, jealous, sex offenders or financially motivated people may as well hope they will be stupid enough to confess.
Why don't they just shut the entire bar down, call all her friends and n have an intervention right there on the spot? It's clearly their responsibility to deal with some random woman who is drunk
Anchorage is a cold place … there is a 50 percent alcoholism rate in the b population of the State v of Alaska… if they called a cab for every drunk who staggered out of a bar they’d go broke. 😢
@@ThanaBrunges-mx7ji I was bothered by a drunk who the bar continued to serve, knowing she was a hardcore alcoholic. Then, when that killed her, they put up her photo at the bar!! Hypocrites. No problem profiting off her mental illness.
I am so glad he got 99 years. I just wonder why the difference from other cases where the murderer & rapist gets 60 years or life with the possibility of parole.
how come no one ever asks why people do this? why did this guy decide to kill her? how is this not more of a focus for everyone? i'd really like to know what causes someone to do this.
The amount of knowledge. Sir Peter Thomas knows of forensic Science is unto it's self astonishing. & his voice over makes it more intriguing. R. I. P. Sir. Thomas. 🙏
You don't really think he's a forensic expert, do you? He's a narrator, reading a script, he doesn't have to understand anything he's saying. He just has to know how to properly pronounce the scientific words. 😄
@@brandytipene3817 Good for you, expanding your knowledge is always a good thing. You have to be careful of the source of what you read though. For example, i wonder about the source that gave you the information that Mr Thomas had been knighted. Or, are you just misusing the word Sir in place of Mr?
I want these guys on my team. Absolutely 💯 superb. 35 head hairs, who counted them? Did someone double check that number? 🤔 Oh no, not another bite mark?! .308, she had to be numb.😳😳😳
Zombie. That's what he is - a savage zombie. In the movies they're killed - in real life they are fed, clothed, medicated, exercised, get to watch television, shower, read, study - all paid for by human taxpayers. Makes absolutely no sense to me 🤷♀️ Real topsy turvy world.
I don’t understand why Alaska is the number one state in the US which has the most crimes! Maybe because of the wilderness where people can hide to commit crimes??? I don’t know the reasons but it is true. Such a beautiful state to visit and live for those who love snow and winter. It is ashamed.
Unfortunately remote places attract trouble makers. They have much less chance of being monitored and help is not readily at hand. There tends to be a mentality of do-your-own-thing so people's tolerance of anti-social behaviour runs high. I lived in a remote location with no police presence for about 15 years. It was a small island. Some people referred to it an Anarchy Island. I'll never live in a place like that again. Biggest bully wins.
This killer looks so young and innocent but is an EVIL MONSTER.. Thank you to the ivestigators for their excellent work that resulted in this monster going to prison and off the streets. Such wickedness at the age of 20 years.
A few times lately, i've wondered how the super glue trick was discovered/developed. Believe or not, as soon as glue was mentioned in the intro i Googled it. Needless to say, (but i will 😆) i was extremely surprised to hear it talked about. Especially since it's never been mentioned in the plethora of TC videos i've watched. Very strange coincidence. What's stranger & more surprising though, is that the only similarity between the two explanations was that it happened in a Japanese crime lab. According to Wikipedia, a forensic hair & fiber analyst discovered interesting properties of super glue when he used it to mount samples on a slide & developed the method from that. Interesting. 🤔
Alaskan here, 60 seconds in and I'd be willing to bet serious money the body belongs to one of the very large number of homeless native drunks/drug users that hang out and pan handle all over Anchorage and that her attacker/killer is also one of the homeless drunk/druggie native crowd.
I find it sort of odd that they focused so much on the plam print via fuming when her blood was literally on his pants and shoes. I think the blood speaks volumes more than a partial print with an uncommon/experimental fuming method.
If these criminal are executed every three months on public areas instead of sending them the free hotel., The crimes will be diminished more than 90 percent in short time. FTW.
Forensic and police investigation was great,But I like the judge’s decision. 99 years , that way there is no shadow of a doubt in the killer’s mind of ever coming out. Life could be interpreted as twenty five ++but 99 you know there is no more SUN For YOU EVER. That is the price of taking a life.Maybe he will learn something in those 99
Watching these videos makes me suss when the wife cuts her hair short, buys 'spare' pairs of shoes for no reason, has rope, garbage bags and saws in the garage that she never uses, and won't let me near the kitchen when shes making dinner or cuppas. Still, i don't think she'll kill me, our love is more important than my $500,000 life insurance policy.
The one murderer, who escaped prison not long ago for almost 2 weeks, was 5’ or 5’2” wasn’t he? Guy climbed the wall and was out of there. I kept seeing comments saying he was a navy seal or something but he definitely knew how to survive. Supposedly he knows how to live and survive in the jungles and forests.
These two people, Martha Hansen and Evan Lee Curtis were both unemployed. How did they get the money to go to bars??? smh Alaska is supposed to be a state where there are jobs …..it is beyond my comprehension to know that Martha had 6 children and didn’t work. Wow. Anyway, she didn’t deserve it to die the way she did but being highly intoxicated as she was, gave Curtis the opportunity to take advantage of the situation who took her to a deserted area where he murdered her in a very violent way. Very sad but Martha should have known better not to trust this guy 100% being only an acquaintance. May Martha rest in peace 🙏
Besides the palm print, and the hair, how about the bite mark left by Curtis in Martha’s breast? Did they analyze that bite? Did investigators made dental impressions of Curtis’ teeth to compare them to the bite on Martha’s breast ??? breasts??? I wondered.
Finally the UA-cam algorithm is showing me episodes I haven’t seen 👏🏻

Definitely not. But I remember a lady who wrote about crime novels and watched forensic files got caught. I forgot her name 😂

The only thing Evans did not leave was his ID and his address.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Then at 13:43 he completed that by bragging to his friend how he killed someone with his bare hands
These men and their big egos. Not EVERYONE wants to be with you!!
The bigger the ego the bigger the red flags.
It's about CONTROL, tho NOT SEX.
That is cool, the working man and woman found super glue fuming, I love that .

And May that evil BURN in Hell where he belongs!
Always travel w a large dog and leave before you're that drunk or it's that late.
At least, this killer got a long sentence in prison.
Just like his long hair. 😢
He should have just written his name on a piece of paper and leave it on the body
murder is bad enough but it will never make sense to me why anyone could murder a friend who is helping you
Control. Extreme emotional immaturity. See Lundy Bancroft and Lindsay Gibson
It's stated that in a crime the killer either takes away forensic evidence or leaves forensic evidence and Evans did both!
Good job Alaska!
"If you think you can commit the perfect crime there're 50 ways you're going to f*ck up. And you're considered a genius if you can figure out 25 of them."
And told someone about the crime
Props to that amazing detective for his creative thinking!
Thank you Charles Colman!! Ive always wanted to know how crazy glue fuming came into the Crime Lab. Now I know.
Same! I was so freaking happy when he started explaining everything
I’m impressed with the detective work in this video
Great episode. I like how the intro shows a view from the victim’s perspective. Creepy and creative at the same time.

Tiny little girl? That time she is 48 with 6 kids.

If you leave a bar with 3× the legal limit of alcohol in your system, its safe to say this isnt going to end well.
I like when the narrator gets excited when action happens
He tried to dye his hair blonde but didn't work well 😂😂
These cops are angels.
He was 20 years old wth how could he do that to her, evil poor woman. She was at the wrong place, at the wrong time :(
Peter Thomas was the bestest Narrator evah!
Rest easy Peter Thomas.🙏❤🙏
Martha’s daughter seems intoxicated. It’s sad to see people in that state.
They all have fetal alcohol
The forensic always do a great job 👍
They probably could have nailed Evans without the palm print. They had a lot of other evidence.
I am so glad he got 99 years. I just wonder why the difference from other cases where the murderer & rapist gets 60 years or life with the possibility of parole.
Perhaps the state or county.
And in Canada he'd get maybe 20 years, then appeal and get a lesser sentence.
BRUTAL MURDER.......POLICE AND
FORENSICS WERE TERRIFIC!!
SHE WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME!!POOR FAMILY.
Thank God for Forensic evidence.
how come no one ever asks why people do this? why did this guy decide to kill her? how is this not more of a focus for everyone? i'd really like to know what causes someone to do this.
For the thrill of it and sexual gratification is basically why this guy did it.
It's up to the person responsible to answer, alot of times they don't say why, especially if they are convicted
13:43 Imagine how powerful is ego of some people that risk their own freedom to brag about they killed somebody !!
Boy or girl if drunk and alone are vulnerable to be harmed

It’s so secluded in some areas, they would have to wait hours or even days for police to respond. They have to police themselves.
Unfortunately remote places attract trouble makers. They have much less chance of being monitored and help is not readily at hand.
