4. Robert Hanson – Frozen Ground
Robert “Butcher Baker” Hansen was an American serial killer who abducted, raped and murdered as many as thirty women between 1971 and 1983. He died last year aged 75-years-old serving a life sentence of 461 years with no chance of ever getting parole. Hansen grew up in Esterville, Iowa and suffered from severe acne scars which left him permanently scarred. He was constantly rejected and picked on by girls which lead him to fantasise of hurting women.
In 1983, his hideous crimes were finally exposed when 17-year-old Cindy Paulson managed to escape from him. She had been offered $200 to perform oral sex on him but when she got inside the car, he pulled out a gun and then drove her to his home. He chained her neck to a post then tortured and raped her. She managed to finally escape and flagged down a truck driver who took her safely to a motel. When the police arrived later they managed to link her description to Hansen who had previously been charged for theft of a chainsaw.
In The Frozen Ground Vanessa Hudgens plays the role of 17-year-old stripper, Cindy. The movie is based on the real-life story of Hansen with Nicholas Cage and John Cusack also starring.
