Date: Wednesday, November 12th
Time: 5:00 PM
Focus: Sadism, survivalism, and the chilling thrill of hunting humans — Robert Hansen, the “Butcher Baker” of Alaska, and the depraved duo Leonard Lake & Charles Ng.
These cases take us into the darkest corners of cruelty: men who turned murder into a perverse form of sport. Hansen stalked women in the Alaskan wilderness as if they were prey, while Lake and Ng constructed a fortified bunker where they recorded the torture and murder of their victims.

What we’ll cover
• Robert Hansen — respected community member by day, kidnapper and hunter of women by night. Lured victims to remote areas, released them, and pursued them like game.
• Leonard Lake & Charles Ng — survivalist partners in crime who built a bunker, kidnapped couples, and videotaped their sadistic acts.
• Predator psychology — how fantasy, domination, and survivalist ideology fueled their crimes.
• Evidence & capture — the breakthroughs that exposed their hidden lairs of horror.
• Themes of dehumanization — reducing victims to “prey” or “property.”
