Summary
Cindy Paulson gave Anchorage police everything. A name. An address. A vehicle. An airplane. The specific parking spot at Merrill Field. She was still wearing Robert Hansen's handcuffs when she told them. A security guard at the airfield independently confirmed her story. The evidence was verifiable, specific, and actionable. They didn't believe her. Hansen had a bakery and a reputation. Cindy was a teenager on the streets of Anchorage. They shelved the case. Hansen kept killing. His method — flying women into the Alaskan bush and hunting them with a rifle — continued uninterrupted because the institution that had every piece of information it needed decided the source wasn't credible. Alaska State Trooper Glenn Flothe eventually found Cindy's file and believed what the first officers wouldn't. Hansen confessed to seventeen murders. This is Surviving Serial Killers — a story about what it costs when the system decides some people's words are worth less than others.
