- 0:00Would you say that you are a generous,
- 0:02empathetic and altruistic person? Or do
- 0:04you recognize certain traits of evil in
- 0:06yourself? How can we find out? Now, it
- 0:09seems that the key to answering these
- 0:11questions lies in the factor that
- 0:13defines the dark traits of our
- 0:15character, such as selfishness,
- 0:17resentment or sadism, which share a
- 0:20common denominator. This means that if
- 0:23a person exhibits a specific malevolent
- 0:26or perverse behavior such as a taste
- 0:28for humiliating their fellow men, they
- 0:30will be more likely to also engage in
- 0:33other malicious activities such as
- 0:35cheating, lying or stealing. Factor D
- 0:40is the tendency to put our own goals
- 0:42and interests above all else and to
- 0:44obtain satisfaction from physically or
- 0:47psychologically harming others. I used
- 1:02to treat the little boy like a slave.
- 1:08The young man wanted to be a normal boy
- 1:10. If you get out alive, good for you,
- 1:20you wanted to collect and now you are
- 1:22going to pay. Hello, I'm Beatriz de
- 1:26Vicente and this is Bestias. Would you
- 1:34say that you are a generous, empathetic
- 1:42and altruistic person? Or do you
- 1:44recognize certain traits of evil in
- 1:46yourself? How can you find out if the
- 1:49image that the mirror reflects only
- 1:51your most harmless appearance? Now it
- 1:55seems that the key to answering these
- 1:57questions lies in factor D, which
- 2:00defines the dark traits of our
- 2:02character. The latest in criminal
- 2:05personality diagnosis. By the way, do
- 2:08not confuse temperament with character.
- 2:11The first is made up of the set of
- 2:13tendencies and characteristics of our
- 2:15personality that are innate in us. We
- 2:18are born with them. The propensity to
- 2:21melancholy, the disposition to
- 2:23addictive behaviors such as alcoholism,
- 2:25drug addiction or gambling, and even
- 2:27the inclination towards optimism or
- 2:29pessimism as a life stance are
- 2:31inherited. Although that does not mean
- 2:35that we are inevitably predetermined to
- 2:38be slaves to our temperament, to that
- 2:40genetic inheritance, we can recognize
- 2:43our natural tendencies and defects and
- 2:45fight to change them. The Greek
- 2:50philosopher Hippocrates of Cos, 460 to
- 2:53370 BC, father of medicine and author
- 2:56of the famous Hippocratic Oath, as you
- 2:58know, the Decalogue that brings
- 3:01together the 10 commandments of every
- 3:03good doctor and which begins with the
- 3:06obligation to do no harm, was inspired
- 3:09by the theology of Empedocles,
- 3:13according to which the world was made
- 3:16up of four basic elements associated
- 3:18with a particular god (Zeus, fire; Era,
- 3:21air; Aidoneus, Earth; Inestis, water),
- 3:24and constructed the hypothesis of the
- 3:26four humors. According to the brilliant
- 3:31thinker, if the universe is based on
- 3:33four elements that must be in
- 3:35harmonious balance, human health and
- 3:38temperament should be governed by
- 3:40similar rules. Yes, blood, yellow bile,
- 3:45black bile and phlegm would be the four
- 3:48humors present in the body, with one of
- 3:50them always being dominant in each
- 3:53person, which explained the
- 3:55temperamental difference that he had
- 3:58observed in human beings from birth. He
- 4:02also added that the seasons of the year
- 4:05could alter the dominance of the humors
- 4:07and therefore behavior. The Spanish
- 4:10expression "spring alters the blood" is
- 4:13not far from here. So Hippocrates made
- 4:17a correlation between these variables,
- 4:20establishing four types of humors that
- 4:23prevailed among men: sanguine, choleric
- 4:26, melancholic, and phlegmatic. For the
- 4:31first time, human thought attempted to
- 4:34explain a psychological phenomenon such
- 4:36as personality, finding answers in the
- 4:39physical, the physiological, the
- 4:41biological. At that time, no external
- 4:46factors were considered that would
- 4:48qualify or even force their behavior or
- 4:50shape their character, nor were genetic
- 4:53, educational, environmental, or any
- 4:55other type of factors that affected
- 4:57them beyond their own viscera and
- 5:00humors. Centuries later, the famous
- 5:04Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist
- 5:07Carl Gustav, in the 20th century,
- 5:09developed the theory of the four
- 5:11temperaments based on his predecessor.
- 5:16There are people who are especially
- 5:18extroverted, optimistic, sociable,
- 5:20emotional and adaptable by nature, but
- 5:22at the same time impulsive and
- 5:24absent-minded. He called these people
- 5:28people with a sanguine temperament.
- 5:32Others, on the other hand, are
- 5:34energetic, ambitious, dominant and
- 5:35competitive from childhood. Natural
- 5:38leaders, very effective people who at
- 5:41the same time can be impatient,
- 5:43irritable and incapable of working in a
- 5:46team. Yang called them choleric
- 5:49temperament. A third type of
- 5:52temperamental tendencies is that of
- 5:54introverted individuals, reflective,
- 5:57sensitive and emotional, with a great
- 6:00capacity for introspection and
- 6:02creativity. However, they can also be
- 6:05pessimistic, insecure and have
- 6:07difficulty adapting to situations that
- 6:09take them out of their comfort zone.
- 6:12The master said that they had a
- 6:14melancholic temperament. Finally, there
- 6:18are people who are peaceful, calm,
- 6:21sensible, stable and balanced by nature
- 6:23, with a great capacity for empathy and
- 6:26understanding others, but also
- 6:28apathetic, indecisive and incapable of
- 6:30making important decisions. These are
- 6:34the phlegmatic people. So temperament
- 6:36influences our way of thinking, feeling
- 6:39and acting, but it does not completely
- 6:42determine who we are. The warrior knows
- 6:46very well that his greatest enemy is
- 6:48within him, so if you learn to know
- 6:50yourself, you will identify those
- 6:52behaviors and tendencies that by nature
- 6:54make you weak, negative or vulnerable
- 6:57and you will develop tools to
- 6:58neutralize them and become the best
- 7:01version of yourself. Character, on the
- 7:06other hand, is formed throughout life
- 7:08and is the product of the interaction
- 7:10of your temperament with the
- 7:12environment and the accumulation of
- 7:14your personal experiences and learning,
- 7:16as well as your traumas, complexes,
- 7:18fears and insecurities. All of this
- 7:22shapes your qualities and the scale of
- 7:24values that you have acquired as a
- 7:25person. Character and temperament
- 7:29ultimately shape our personality,
- 7:31defined as the set of characteristics
- 7:34and qualities that differentiate and
- 7:36distinguish us from one another.
- 7:41Apparently, as human beings, we are
- 7:42biologically predetermined to be
- 7:44sociable, empathetic, and caring for
- 7:46each other. Behaviors that are all
- 7:49necessary to survive as a group and
- 7:51survive as a species. In other words,
- 7:54the survival of the pack requires the
- 7:56active collaboration of its members.
- 7:59Today for you, tomorrow for me. However
- 8:02, despite this genetic drift toward
- 8:05collaboration and empathy with the
- 8:07members of our species, evil exists.
- 8:11And now we even know what personality
- 8:13traits allow us to identify it.
- 8:17Perversity is polymorphous and does not
- 8:19always manifest itself in its most
- 8:21savage forms, such as physical
- 8:23aggression, rape, or murder. On many
- 8:27occasions, it presents itself slyly, in
- 8:30a much more subtle way through those
- 8:32everyday acts that, without being
- 8:34criminal, manage to make anyone's life
- 8:37miserable. They are those everyday
- 8:40sadists that we all know. My dear
- 8:43professor García Andrade humorously
- 8:45called them "patas." The bad-tempered
- 8:51subject, the gloomy, the unpleasant,
- 8:53the bossy father, the tyrannical boss,
- 8:55the manipulative friend, the social
- 8:57climbing partner, the extortionist
- 8:59partner, the driver who waits in the
- 9:01rain for the old woman to get on the
- 9:03bus to start, smiling when the poor
- 9:05woman thought she had succeeded. The
- 9:08banker who enjoys the ruin of others,
- 9:11denying that credit that he could well
- 9:13grant and save a family from the ruin
- 9:15of Bacle. The teacher who humiliates in
- 9:17front of everyone the shy student who
- 9:19has so much trouble speaking in public
- 9:21and with that stigmatizes him for life.
- 9:24The principal who vents his anger by
- 9:26firing the father of the family or the
- 9:28beautiful young woman who instills
- 9:29insecurity and shame in her classmate
- 9:31who is not so attractive. Everyday
- 9:34cruelty is seen in figures like this
- 9:36from afar. On June 11, 2020, a cleaning
- 9:42worker in the French town of Calvados
- 9:44was fired by an indolent boss who
- 9:47disregarded his 26 years of service at
- 9:49the company, his impeccable dedication
- 9:52to work, his proximity to retirement,
- 9:55and his entire family's dependence on
- 9:57the salary that the good man brought
- 10:00home; the only source of support for
- 10:02his wife and children. The reason was
- 10:07that he had drunk two beers that a
- 10:09local neighbor had given him while he
- 10:11was on duty to thank him for his work
- 10:13during the lockdown. Such indifference
- 10:18allowed his boss to give free rein to
- 10:20that everyday evil that lives hidden
- 10:22among us. Despite the worker's pleas to
- 10:27keep his job, his livelihood for almost
- 10:2930 years and on which his entire family
- 10:32depended, he was presented with the
- 10:34dismissal letter and sent home. His
- 10:39body was found in the garage of his
- 10:40parents 'home. He was wearing his work
- 10:44uniform. The dismissal letter was at
- 10:46his feet. In Spain, in February 2016, a
- 10:51worker who was laid off after the
- 10:53Banquia scandal, which destroyed 6,000
- 10:56jobs, took his own life. Losing his job
- 10:59at the age of 50 left him in ruins.
- 11:02Furthermore, bureaucratic problems did
- 11:04not even promise him a decent pension.
- 11:08Of course, none of the big bosses of
- 11:10the defunct bank stopped collecting
- 11:12millionaire bonuses before leaving
- 11:14their luxurious offices. Why think
- 11:17about the thousands of workers who
- 11:19ended up on the street? That was not
- 11:22their thing. Indifference to the
- 11:24misfortune of others is another form of
- 11:26evil. And in 2019, Verónica, a married
- 11:31mother of two children aged 9 months
- 11:33and 4 years old, who worked for a
- 11:36trucking company in the Madrid town of
- 11:38San Fernando de Nares, which had 2,500
- 11:41employees, most of them men, could not
- 11:43bear the unbearable pressure from an
- 11:46ex-lover who threatened to publish a
- 11:48sex video of her. The poor 32-year-old
- 11:53woman had had a relationship with a
- 11:55colleague more than 5 years ago that
- 11:57came to nothing. She had married and
- 12:01started a family, but her ex ended up
- 12:05with her. If she didn't sleep with him
- 12:09again, he would share that very spicy
- 12:11video that she knew about and in which,
- 12:13of course, she was the leading actress.
- 12:16The video went viral, reaching her
- 12:19husband and 2,500 co-workers. Everyone
- 12:23laughed at the joke, everyone pointed
- 12:24at them as they passed. What a plan.
- 12:28What a cuckold for the husband. He's
- 12:31not going to get in the door. You're
- 12:33very photogenic. On Saturday, May 25,
- 12:37Veronica couldn't handle so much
- 12:39humiliation and hanged herself. And if
- 12:43the above was everyday evil, this is
- 12:46pure and simple evil. On October 23,
- 12:512023, a jury at the Provincial Court of
- 12:53Zaragoza unanimously convicted Vanessa
- 12:56Muñoz, 30, and Cristian Lastanao, her
- 12:5935-year-old partner, of the horrific
- 13:01death of little Laya, who was only 2
- 13:04years old. The verdict was murder with
- 13:07treachery and aggravating circumstance
- 13:09of cruelty. The forensic experts'
- 13:12account reflected that human evil does
- 13:15indeed exist. The little girl took 48
- 13:19hours to die. The peritonitis that
- 13:23caused the minor's death occurred on
- 13:25January 20, 2021. The day before her
- 13:28death, a severe blow to the abdomen
- 13:30caused the minor's duodenum to rupture.
- 13:34An especially painful injury that she
- 13:37endured without any medical assistance
- 13:39under the indifferent gaze of her
- 13:41mother and partner. The forensic
- 13:45experts identified 101 injuries on the
- 13:48body of the girl, who weighed only 15
- 13:52kg, 73 recent and 28 old. After these
- 13:56illustrative examples, let's return to
- 13:59the G factor. More than 100 years ago,
- 14:02Charles Spearman claimed that
- 14:04intelligence is made up of a general
- 14:06factor, the so-called G factor.
- 14:09According to the English psychologist's
- 14:12theory, this explains why people who
- 14:15score high on a specific type of
- 14:17intelligence test are likely to score
- 14:20equally high on other intelligence
- 14:22tests. A century later, experts claim
- 14:27that this same tendency can also be
- 14:29applied to explain the malignity or
- 14:31dark side of people. This is the factor
- 14:36of New research carried out by a team
- 14:39of psychologists from Germany and
- 14:41Denmark suggests that characteristics
- 14:44such as selfishness, resentment or
- 14:46sadism share a common denominator. The
- 14:51study shows that all the dark and
- 14:54gloomy aspects of the human personality
- 14:56are closely related and are based on
- 14:59the same tendency. Or in other words,
- 15:03if you have one of these traits, it is
- 15:05very likely that you will develop some
- 15:07of the others. This means, according to
- 15:12this recent research, that if a person
- 15:15exhibits specific malevolent or
- 15:17perverse behavior such as liking to
- 15:20humiliate their peers, they will be
- 15:23more likely to also engage in other
- 15:25malicious activities such as cheating,
- 15:28lying, or stealing. Factor D is the
- 15:33tendency to put our own goals and
- 15:36interests above all else and to obtain
- 15:38satisfaction from physically or
- 15:41psychologically harming others. Factor
- 15:45D is also present in behavior
- 15:47associated with resentment. According
- 15:51to the results of this research, these
- 15:53are the nine traits of the malevolent
- 15:55personality. One, selfishness,
- 15:58excessive concern for obtaining
- 16:00advantages over others. Always me first
- 16:03, everything for myself. Two,
- 16:06Machiavellianism, manipulative and
- 16:08insensitive attitude. The end justifies
- 16:12the means. Three, moral disconnect, a
- 16:15style of thinking that allows one to
- 16:18behave unethically, eliminating any
- 16:20feeling of responsibility or guilt. I
- 16:23don't care. Four. Narcism, excessive
- 16:27self-deception, belief in superiority,
- 16:30and an extreme need to receive constant
- 16:33attention from others. Five.
- 16:37Psychological entitlement, recurrent
- 16:39belief that one is better than others
- 16:41and deserves better treatment than
- 16:43others. Six. Psychopathy, lack of
- 16:48empathy and self-control combined with
- 16:51impulsive behavior. Seven. Sadism.
- 16:56Desire to cause mental or physical harm
- 16:59to others for one's own pleasure or to
- 17:01benefit oneself, being indifferent to
- 17:03others. Eight. Self-interest. Desire to
- 17:09promote and enhance one's own social
- 17:10and financial status above others and
- 17:12at any cost. Constant search for gains,
- 17:17whether social reinforcement, material
- 17:19objects, recognition, success, always
- 17:21above others. and nine. Rancor or
- 17:26malice, resentment, animosity, hatred,
- 17:29spite, willingness to cause harm or
- 17:31destroy others, even if this involves
- 17:34harming oneself. You know, if you have
- 17:40any of these characteristics, it will
- 17:42not be strange that you also harbor
- 17:44some of the others and that you are
- 17:46tributaries of a factor of Yéis you,
- 17:48someone you know may have it. Given the
- 17:55prognostic triads, research on evil and
- 17:58studies on human predation, as you have
- 18:01seen, in conclusion we are a mixture of
- 18:03genes, education and environment, based
- 18:06on the numerous studies focused on
- 18:08revealing the causes why an individual
- 18:11becomes a serial killer. Defective
- 18:16socialization during childhood,
- 18:18abandonment, overprotection,
- 18:19mistreatment, abuse. The abnormal
- 18:23development of sexuality and brain
- 18:25injuries make up the main basis on
- 18:27which they are built, and it can
- 18:29therefore be said that part of their
- 18:31violent and predatory personality is
- 18:33innate with them. There are genetic
- 18:36predisposing factors to violence or
- 18:38behavioral and mental pathologies with
- 18:40a strong hereditary component, but it
- 18:43will ultimately be the interaction of
- 18:45these biological predisposing factors
- 18:47with their personal experiences,
- 18:49dysfunctional childhoods, abuse and
- 18:51mistreatment during childhood, which
- 18:53ends up transforming them into human
- 18:55predators. A perfect example of all the
- 18:59elements with which a serial killer is
- 19:01made. Triads, biological conditioning,
- 19:05personality factors, childhood and
- 19:08socialization. This is the case of
- 19:10Robert Christian Hansen. Incidentally,
- 19:14he suffered from viastophilia, a sexual
- 19:16paraphilia consisting of the
- 19:18eroticization of violent assault on
- 19:20women, of sex without consent. He liked
- 19:25to hunt women. His sadism was
- 19:29psychological terror. He wanted his
- 19:31prey to feel fear, to oppose their
- 19:34fatal destiny. Christian Hansen was
- 19:38born on February 15, 1939 in Ester
- 19:40Villayowa, United States. He was the
- 19:43son of Danish immigrants. Christian,
- 19:45his father, was a despotic and
- 19:47oppressive man who forced him to work
- 19:50endless hours in the bakery he ran. He
- 19:54used to treat the little boy like a
- 19:55slave and regularly abused him
- 19:57physically and psychologically. His
- 20:00mother, Etna, was a timid and
- 20:02submissive woman. She was never a
- 20:04protective figure. So Hansen's first
- 20:08contact with emotional attachment
- 20:09taught him that no one was going to
- 20:11take care of him, that he was alone.
- 20:14And this was a cruel world where the
- 20:17strongest prevailed. The attachment
- 20:21theory developed in the 70s by the
- 20:23British psychologist John Bolby
- 20:25establishes that the type of emotional
- 20:27bonds that a child develops with their
- 20:29parents or caregivers in early
- 20:31childhood will determine the way they
- 20:33develop with others in the future.
- 20:37There are four types of attachment. In
- 20:39secure attachment, they love me, they
- 20:41care for me, they value me. The child
- 20:43will evolve into an emotionally healthy
- 20:46adult, with adequate levels of
- 20:48self-esteem and self-confidence, who
- 20:50will treat others as equals and with
- 20:52respect. In anxious-ambivalent
- 20:55attachment, sometimes they love me,
- 20:56sometimes they ignore me. Sometimes
- 20:59they take care of me, at others they
- 21:00abandon. The child does not know how to
- 21:03please their parents, how to obtain
- 21:05their love and this will turn them into
- 21:07adults who are anxious about pleasing,
- 21:09anxious and emotionally dependent,
- 21:11highly influenced by the opinions of
- 21:13others, against whom they will develop
- 21:15disabling inferiority complexes. In
- 21:18avoidant attachment, a child who has
- 21:20never been loved or abandoned assumes
- 21:22that he or she is alone and cannot
- 21:24count on anyone. As an adult, they will
- 21:27distrust everyone and everything,
- 21:29fearing they will be harmed. He or she
- 21:32will become elusive and distrustful in
- 21:34an environment that he or she will
- 21:35experience as hostile, identifying
- 21:37other humans as potential enemies.
- 21:40Finally, there is disorganized
- 21:41attachment, which results from
- 21:43upbringings in which mistreatment and
- 21:45abuse prevail. This is the most harmful
- 21:47type and the one that generates the
- 21:49worst consequences in adulthood, as it
- 21:51is the perfect seed for the development
- 21:53of violent behavior towards others and
- 21:55perverse personality disorders. Hansen
- 21:59had disorganized attachment. His
- 22:02childhood, that period of life so
- 22:04important for shaping our personality
- 22:06as adults. In fact, it is said that it
- 22:09is the garden where we play for the
- 22:10rest of our lives. It was abusive and
- 22:13dysfunctional, subjected to a
- 22:15tyrannical father and without the
- 22:16warmth of a loving and caring mother.
- 22:19That turned him into an introverted and
- 22:21unsociable child, the odd one out in
- 22:23town. That shy, skinny and awkward boy,
- 22:27transformed over the years into a
- 22:29withdrawn teenager with no friends. To
- 22:32top it all off, he had a severe stutter
- 22:35, probably the result of his father's
- 22:37brutality and his fear of expressing
- 22:39himself naturally, along with a severe
- 22:41case of acne that left permanent scars
- 22:43on his face. He himself would say, "My
- 22:46face was a big pimple." They made him
- 22:50the laughingstock of attractive girls,
- 22:53who also publicly rejected him, openly
- 22:55expressing their disgust for his face
- 22:58and the ridiculousness of his stutter.
- 23:04The young Hansen, always head down and
- 23:06self-conscious, was accumulating anger
- 23:09not only against his parents for the
- 23:11undesirable childhood they had given
- 23:13him, but also against the girls who
- 23:15rejected him and made him feel so bad,
- 23:18so insecure, so outcast. These
- 23:22resentments began to generate
- 23:24overwhelming desires for revenge, the
- 23:26only possible outlet in the face of so
- 23:28much rage and impotence. The beast
- 23:33began to grow inside him, feeding on
- 23:35dark fantasies about the cruel revenge
- 23:37that would one day come. In 1957, at
- 23:42the age of 18, he joined the United
- 23:44States Army Reserves and served for a
- 23:47year. He even became an assistant
- 23:49instructor. It was at this time that
- 23:52Hansen had his first sexual encounter
- 23:54with a woman, a prostitute. It is not
- 23:58the best way to start, but nothing was
- 24:00the best in Robert's life. The young
- 24:03man wanted to be a normal boy, but the
- 24:06beast inside him grew and the rage with
- 24:08it. In 1960, he began a relationship
- 24:11with a teenage girl and got married
- 24:13that same summer. On December 7 of that
- 24:16year, he was arrested for the first
- 24:17time. The reason? Setting fire to the
- 24:20school bus garage in the neighboring
- 24:22town of Pocahontas. An act of revenge
- 24:25against the high school where he felt
- 24:27tormented as a child. And as the saying
- 24:30goes, he who does it pays. That's what
- 24:33the demon of resentment says. And
- 24:35Hansen knew a lot about that. A young
- 24:39man who helped him ended up informing
- 24:40on him and Robert was sentenced to 3
- 24:42years in prison. He served 20 months.
- 24:45His wife filed for divorce while he was
- 24:47incarcerated. In the following years he
- 24:49would be arrested several times for
- 24:51petty theft. According to his
- 24:53psychobiography, these thefts were
- 24:55sexualized actions, a kind of sexual
- 24:57kleptomania, that is to say, he
- 24:59eroticized the tension of taking
- 25:01someone else's property. The beast kept
- 25:03asking for more. In 1967 he moved to
- 25:08Encorage, Alaska, with his second wife,
- 25:11Darla Henrichen, whom he had married in
- 25:141963. There he managed to develop an
- 25:17apparently normal life. With the
- 25:21mimetic facade of a good citizen, he
- 25:23became very well-liked by his neighbors
- 25:25and even rose to the position of local
- 25:27hunting champion. That was without a
- 25:31doubt his favorite activity, the first
- 25:33in which he had excelled in his entire
- 25:36life, hunting. In fact, it was the only
- 25:38thing he shared with his father: a
- 25:40passion for hunting. From him, he
- 25:43inherited 17 firearms, many of them
- 25:46long-range. In 1972, Hansen was accused
- 25:50of rape by a prostitute. Luckily for
- 25:53him, no one believed the poor girl's
- 25:55story. It was a time when it was
- 25:58considered impossible for a prostitute
- 26:00to be raped, and his case was dismissed
- 26:02. The beast continued to grow inside
- 26:06him, evolving and growing. This
- 26:10impunity was yet another incentive that
- 26:12increased his dangerousness. In 1977,
- 26:15he committed another theft and was
- 26:18imprisoned for stealing a chainsaw.
- 26:21Released after serving a year, he
- 26:23decided to open a bakery. The only good
- 26:27thing his father had taught him: a
- 26:28trade. By then, he was already the
- 26:31father of two children. He spent the
- 26:35following years perfecting his two
- 26:37great hobbies: flying his Piper Superc
- 26:39plane and honing his hunting skills in
- 26:41the area surrounding the house he had
- 26:43bought in the forest. A discipline in
- 26:47which he became an expert. He
- 26:50masterfully handled everything from
- 26:52repeating rifles to ancestral weapons
- 26:55such as the bow and arrow, a discipline
- 26:57in which he even won national awards.
- 27:00But those hobbies did not manage to
- 27:02satisfy him completely. He needed
- 27:05something more. And so he began to
- 27:09frequent the Encorage Chinatown, a
- 27:10brothel where he could find beautiful
- 27:12girls from all over the world. Most of
- 27:16them were undocumented, rootless, and
- 27:18had no one to miss them if they
- 27:21disappeared. Perfect victims and sadly
- 27:24with a high rate of victimization in
- 27:26the field of violent and sexual crimes.
- 27:30Not only because of the sordid world in
- 27:32which they moved, but also because on
- 27:34many occasions they got into the car of
- 27:36their executioners, mistaking them for
- 27:38clients. Especially pretty women like
- 27:42those vixens who laughed at him. Hansen
- 27:47offered large sums of money to
- 27:49prostitutes to accompany him in his
- 27:51plane to the house in the forest to
- 27:52perform a [ __ ] on him, something
- 27:54with which I became truly obsessed. He
- 27:58had desired it so many times and felt
- 28:01so painfully rejected so many times
- 28:03that he loved watching women surrender
- 28:06to him on their knees, finally
- 28:08submissive, as they should be. For the
- 28:13girls, he was the ideal client, not too
- 28:16ugly, generous, and with a plane ride
- 28:18included. How could they refuse? And
- 28:21how well they would have done to have
- 28:23done it, at least 30 of them. Because
- 28:27once the plane stopped next to the
- 28:28house in the forest, the game began.
- 28:32And the thing is, Hansen liked hunting,
- 28:34but he also liked to play. Resentful of
- 28:39the constant rejection by women, he
- 28:41enjoyed the violent assault and
- 28:42opposition of his victims, so they were
- 28:44not going to like the game. Robert gave
- 28:50his guests two options. The first was
- 28:53to perform any sexual aberration he
- 28:56proposed on her without charging them
- 28:58anything, and the second was to pay for
- 29:01it and play hide and seek. In the event
- 29:05that the girl chose the first option,
- 29:08quite unusual for a sex worker, Hansel
- 29:10would release her after several hours
- 29:12of submission to his most abstinent
- 29:14desires, usually brutal and perverse
- 29:16sex. Of course, the prostitutes had to
- 29:19cross the icy Incorich forest barefoot
- 29:21until they returned to the city. It is
- 29:24estimated that this happened on at
- 29:26least 30 occasions, but they had to
- 29:28thank the goddess of fortune that they
- 29:31had chosen the right option, the one
- 29:33that allowed them to stay alive.
- 29:37Because if the poor girl chose the
- 29:39second option, Robert would propose the
- 29:41last deal of his life. You have one
- 29:45chance. You can get out of here, but I
- 29:47will chase you and try to hunt you down
- 29:50. If you get out alive, good for you,
- 29:53but if I catch you, face the
- 29:54consequences. You wanted to collect,
- 29:57now you'll pay. With that said, he
- 30:01would strip them naked and let them go.
- 30:03After a few seconds 'head start, the
- 30:05hunter would go in search of the
- 30:07terrified prey, armed with his
- 30:09long-range rifle with telescopic sight,
- 30:11his hunting bow and his machetes. For
- 30:14minutes, the girls climbed terrified
- 30:16and naked through the forest, an
- 30:17inhospitable place for them. On the
- 30:21other hand, Hansen knew every inch of
- 30:23those mountains, an advantage that made
- 30:25escape an impossible task for his prey.
- 30:30If he caught them too quickly and
- 30:32considered that they had not had enough
- 30:33fun, he would offer them another chance
- 30:35and release them again. This is
- 30:38precisely what happened to a young
- 30:40prostitute named Paula, who on her way
- 30:42out entered an area of thorny bushes
- 30:44that caused her numerous cuts. As
- 30:48Hansen himself later recounted, he
- 30:50enjoyed tracking the blood that Paula
- 30:51was losing on the snow so much that he
- 30:53asked her to escape again. The poor
- 30:57exhausted girl could not continue with
- 30:59her life, so her hunter, almost
- 31:01disappointed, shot her twice between
- 31:03the shoulder blades, killing her. It is
- 31:07estimated that this same scene or a
- 31:09similar one occurred on up to 16 more
- 31:12occasions between 1980 and 1983. On
- 31:17June 13, 1983, Hansen picked up a 17-
- 31:20year-old dancer and escort named Cindy
- 31:22Paulson. He offered her $ 200 for sex.
- 31:27The girl accepted. As soon as she got
- 31:30into his vehicle, the hunter handcuffed
- 31:32her at gunpoint and took her to his
- 31:33home, where he raped and tortured her
- 31:35for hours. While Robert prepared his
- 31:39trip to take that precious piece to his
- 31:41special hunting ground, Cindy, whom he
- 31:42had already put in the back of his
- 31:44sedan, took advantage of a moment when
- 31:46the predator was not looking, managed
- 31:48to open the door and ran away in terror
- 31:50with the handcuffs attached to her
- 31:51wrists. In her anguished escape, she
- 31:55left behind one of her blue high-heeled
- 31:57shoes. The poor girl, naked, bleeding,
- 32:02her body battered and torn apart from
- 32:04the inside, Hansen, among other
- 32:06atrocities, had repeatedly raped her by
- 32:08slamming her under the handle of a
- 32:10hammer. He managed to reach the
- 32:13vicinity of Sixth Avenue, where he
- 32:15managed to stop a passing truck. The
- 32:18young woman told her surprising story
- 32:20at the police station and clearly
- 32:22identified Robert Hansen. She knew him
- 32:24as a neighbor in the area. Once again,
- 32:27luck was on the predator's side. The
- 32:30officers did not believe her. Hansen
- 32:33claimed that she was a lying prostitute
- 32:35trying to extort him. Once again, as
- 32:39had happened years before, Robert
- 32:41emerged unscathed thanks to the
- 32:43contacts he had in town and the lack of
- 32:45evidence. The beast had escaped
- 32:48unscathed once again. His voracity was
- 32:50unstoppable and the impunity of his
- 32:52actions fed his sense of dominance. He
- 32:55was finally the great predator. No one
- 32:58laughed at him anymore. Robert Hansen
- 33:02was a hunter and we women were his
- 33:05trophies. Between 1980 and 1983, bodies
- 33:11of murdered women began to be
- 33:13discovered. The first one was
- 33:16discovered by some construction workers
- 33:18in the vicinity of the Glunna Road.
- 33:20Since they were never able to
- 33:22positively identify her body, they
- 33:24nicknamed her Annie of Deklumna.
- 33:27Shortly after, the body of Joan Messina
- 33:29, a young prostitute from Encorage, was
- 33:31found in another isolated area. Then
- 33:35Detective Glen Floute, suspecting that
- 33:37he might be dealing with a serial
- 33:39killer, since all the young women had
- 33:41similar injuries and were found naked
- 33:43in a confined area of the woods,
- 33:45enlisted the help of the FBI. The
- 33:49legendary criminal profiler John Edglas
- 33:51and sexual predator expert Roy Hazerbut
- 33:53, both of whom have authored some of
- 33:55the most interesting studies conducted
- 33:57to date regarding serial killers, were
- 33:59officially assigned to provide their
- 34:01assistance in the investigation. The
- 34:04beast began to be profiled. Who was
- 34:07behind these murders? The experts
- 34:10traveled to Alaska. They had to study
- 34:13the different scenarios. Primary, where
- 34:15the victims could have been murdered
- 34:17and raped. Secondary, the places where
- 34:20they were captured, as well as those
- 34:22where their bodies were found. Tertiary
- 34:24, spaces where remains of clothing,
- 34:26blood, personal objects were found.
- 34:28They would also take into account the
- 34:30type of prey chosen: prostitutes, an
- 34:32example of high-risk victims, because
- 34:34they easily get into a stranger's car
- 34:36and no one asks about them and they
- 34:38disappear. Pattern of injuries, in this
- 34:41case cuts and injuries from sexual
- 34:43assaults carried out with objects,
- 34:45shots with hunting weapons and even
- 34:47with arrows and the arrangement of the
- 34:49bodies thrown in the forest without
- 34:51covering or burying them. Among other
- 34:53data. With all of these they created
- 34:55their profile. You must look for a
- 34:58single perpetrator. Our man is an
- 35:01experienced hunter with low self-esteem
- 35:03. He has a youthful history of
- 35:05rejection by women and a desire for
- 35:07revenge. They have laughed at him. He
- 35:10collects trophies from his murders such
- 35:12as jewelry from the victims or even
- 35:14body parts. The murderer chooses
- 35:16prostitutes and topless dancers because
- 35:18they are very prone to moving from city
- 35:21to city and the sudden disappearance of
- 35:23one does not raise the greatest concern
- 35:25. The profilers nailed it, and it was
- 35:28precisely their astute instincts and
- 35:31professional expertise that led them to
- 35:33notice the accusations of young Cindy,
- 35:36the girl who had filed a complaint
- 35:38against Hansen some time ago and who no
- 35:41one had believed. When they studied the
- 35:45baker's profile, they established that
- 35:47his short stature, the fact that he had
- 35:49many scars on his face from acne, and
- 35:51his obvious stutter led them to believe
- 35:53that, as a young man, he had been the
- 35:55object of ridicule and that, in all
- 35:57probability, he had been rejected on
- 35:59many occasions by the women he wanted
- 36:01to approach. So in all likelihood,
- 36:04Hansen probably suffered from very low
- 36:06self-esteem and a high degree of
- 36:08deep-seated resentment towards women.
- 36:11Attacking prostitutes could be a way of
- 36:13taking revenge for the humiliations he
- 36:15suffered during his adolescence. Some
- 36:18police officers who knew Hansen added
- 36:20an important piece of information. He
- 36:23was a great shot. He had even won
- 36:26national awards for target shooting and
- 36:28used to boast about the excellent game
- 36:30he hunted in the forest. With a smile,
- 36:33profiler John Douglas replied with
- 36:35something that would be remembered for
- 36:38years. Maybe he got tired of hunting
- 36:41deer and moved on to more interesting
- 36:43pieces. The profilers had no doubts.
- 36:48The suspect was almost certainly behind
- 36:50the disappearances and murders that had
- 36:52been occurring in the area since 1979.
- 36:56According to Hazelbut, the modus
- 36:58operandi of raping and then releasing
- 37:00the victim into the woods to hunt him
- 37:02down fit Robert Hansen perfectly. The
- 37:05next thing they did was a search
- 37:07warrant at the home of Mr. Robert
- 37:08Christian Hansen. An initial search
- 37:11found nothing that could incriminate
- 37:13him. They were about to finish and
- 37:15leave when one of the officers
- 37:17discovered a hiding place in the attic.
- 37:21They found several long-range rifles,
- 37:23as well as pistols, a navigational map
- 37:25marked in several places,
- 37:26identification cards of the victims,
- 37:28some pieces of jewelry that had once
- 37:31belonged to them, and newspaper
- 37:32clippings. The vanity of many predators
- 37:36leads them to follow their crimes in
- 37:38the media. Hidden in a corner, they
- 37:41found a .223 caliber Mini 14 rifle that
- 37:44matched the ammunition that had killed
- 37:47all the victims. And also a blue shoe,
- 37:51the one that the young Scorp Cindy
- 37:53Paulson had lost when she escaped from
- 37:55the car. The beast had been trapped,
- 37:59there was no escape. The hunter was
- 38:03hunted. Robert was arrested and charged
- 38:07with illegal possession of weapons,
- 38:08robbery, fraud. Sexual assault, rape,
- 38:11and murder of at least 17 prostitutes
- 38:13between 1980 and 1983. The fraud
- 38:15charges were because he had reported
- 38:17the theft of several hunting trophies
- 38:19and had collected insurance
- 38:21compensation with which he had
- 38:22purchased the plane. A moral figure. At
- 38:26the police station, Hansen denied any
- 38:28involvement in the murders, but
- 38:29overwhelmed by the evidence
- 38:31incriminating him, he gave up and asked
- 38:33for a lawyer. His lawyer cut him a good
- 38:36deal. Hansen would confess to his
- 38:39crimes in detail in exchange for being
- 38:42convicted only of the four murders that
- 38:44were known at that time. He would also
- 38:47serve his life sentence in a federal
- 38:49facility instead of a maximum security
- 38:51prison. In his confession, he described
- 38:55his modus operandi as hiring
- 38:56prostitutes and kidnapping them. He
- 38:59would then load them into a small plane
- 39:01and fly them to the woods where he kept
- 39:02his cabin. “I liked to watch them
- 39:05freeze with fear.” At the cabin, he
- 39:08would rape them and then release them
- 39:09into the woods, giving them a chance to
- 39:11escape. He would wait until they would
- 39:13run away and then practice target
- 39:15practice on them. He never missed a
- 39:17shot. As part of the plea deal, he
- 39:21marked on a map some 30 locations where
- 39:23he claimed to have buried bodies. The
- 39:25next day, a military helicopter
- 39:27expedition was launched, and Hansen
- 39:29flew them to 12 different locations.
- 39:31Only seven bodies were recovered. By
- 39:34then, the media was calling him the “
- 39:36Butcher Baker.” On February 18, 1984,
- 39:41Robert Hansen pleaded guilty to the
- 39:43four agreed-upon murders and received a
- 39:46sentence of 461 years in prison without
- 39:48parole. The hunter died at age 75 on
- 39:52August 21, 2014, at the Encorage
- 39:55Correctional Complex, where he had been
- 39:57transferred a few months earlier.
- 40:01Robert Christian Hansen is suspected of
- 40:03assaulting and raping more than 30
- 40:06women in Alaska and was responsible for
- 40:08the murders of at least 17 of them,
- 40:10whose ages ranged from 16 to 41. We
- 40:13will never know how many of them the
- 40:15predator actually shot. One thing that
- 40:19allowed Robert Hansen to operate for
- 40:21years was his compensatory facade. With
- 40:25his image as a citizen integrated into
- 40:27his community, a loving father, a
- 40:28devoted husband, a tireless worker, and
- 40:30a successful hunter, the neighbor who
- 40:32always says hello. It is precisely this
- 40:36adaptability to their environment that
- 40:38makes them so dangerous. A good example
- 40:42of this compensatory facade is
- 40:44illustrated by the recently unmasked
- 40:46and long-mysterious case of the Lona
- 40:49Island Killer, who murdered at least
- 40:51four sex workers whose bodies were
- 40:53dumped on Gilgovic Beach, New York, the
- 40:56dumping ground Teby called it. He is
- 41:00suspected of having killed more than
- 41:0212. On July 14, 2023, police who had
- 41:04been searching for a serial sexual
- 41:06sadist for more than a decade were able
- 41:09to put a name to him. The man known as
- 41:11the Lon Iseland killer was identified
- 41:14as Res Hoyeman Hewerman, a 59-year-old
- 41:16successful architect, happily married
- 41:18and the father of two. He put on the
- 41:22display of a perfect compensatory
- 41:23facade that transformed him in
- 41:25everyone's eyes into a model citizen,
- 41:27making him an even more dangerous
- 41:29predator because no one saw him coming.
- 41:32Remember adaptability to your
- 41:33surroundings? How does it increase
- 41:35criminal dangerousness? This alleged
- 41:38killer, who has yet to be tried, had
- 41:40been killing people for more than a
- 41:42decade. The first prints he left were
- 41:45on the first body he was associated
- 41:47with, that of a young prostitute who
- 41:49was found on Gilgovic Beach on Non
- 41:50Island. Later, the investigation
- 41:53discovered the bodies of nine more
- 41:55women, a man and a baby in his dump.
- 41:59Heguerman is responsible for at least
- 42:01six murders that occurred, according to
- 42:03the prosecutor, between July 2007 and
- 42:05September 2010. His hunting method was
- 42:07that of a trapper. You know, they set
- 42:10out a lure that the victim had to bite.
- 42:13We'll get to that when we focus on the
- 42:15methods of capturing prey. Heguerman
- 42:18contacted his victims through
- 42:20disposable phones. He would later pick
- 42:23them up in Manhattan near their
- 42:25workplace and then torture and murder
- 42:27them. He buried most of the bodies in
- 42:31places near the beach, and the profile
- 42:32of all of them was that of young and
- 42:34attractive women. The police found the
- 42:38suspect thanks to a tip they discovered
- 42:40in one of the cell phone numbers he
- 42:43used and also with the help of a
- 42:45witness who had seen his van. They
- 42:48realized that the man lived near the
- 42:50beach and so they searched the trash in
- 42:52the area for DNA from all the neighbors
- 42:54that matched the DNA found on the
- 42:56bodies. And they just happened to find
- 42:59it on a piece of pizza. They also
- 43:02discovered that the suspect had
