I added the Unreferenced and NPOV templates to the page, as this article needs a lot of work. Not a single reference is included, and the article takes an almost wholly negative tone toward the subject. Yes, he is a convicted serial killer, but this article needs to tell his story without bias. Weathermandan (talk) 06:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article wastaken from this site: http://panachereport.com/channels/more%20short%20stories/RobertHansen.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spoonkymonkey (talk • contribs) 23:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone else notice he looks exactly like Nate Haskell, the serial killer from seasons 9 through 11, played by Bill Irwin? Probably coincidence, but really eerie! 82.23.20.185 (talk) 00:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The list says that he adknowledged 14 killings and denied 3, while elsewhere in the article is said that he adknowledged 15 and denied 2. Furthermore, why is he believed to have killed 21 total? Does police believe he did, is he a suspect in 5 additional missing cases? The article doesn't say.--Menah the Great (talk) 03:20, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This article identifies the date apprehended as June 13, 1983, which is the date when Cindy Paulson escaped. But, the date of the search warrant wasn't executed until October 27, 1983. Was Hansen arrested as early as June 13? John.Farquhar (talk) 17:07, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How was he an instructor at a police academy in 1960 when Iowa's first police academy (in Camp Dodge) wasn't set up until 1974? 173.19.112.195 (talk) 04:09, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox lists the date he was apprehended as 1983-Jun-13, but that is the date that Paulson escaped. It wasn't until late October that year that a search warrant and search of his properties were conducted, so his apprehension would seem to be more likely to be late October, or perhaps early November (you can't arrest someone and wait almost 5 months to begin investigating the basis of the arrest). Infobox information seems to be incorrect regarding his apprehension. — al-Shimoni (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citations #3 and 4 to page 96 of the DuClos book are incorrect - the page is previewed if you follow but NONE of that information is corroborated on p. 96 or 97 where it takes you. Probably elsewhere in the book but needs correct page numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:30E0:8430:B10A:FC8F:2472:AA20 (talk) 04:53, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the Imprisonment section, it is currently stated that "... he used the proceeds to purchase the Super Cub". However, there's no other mention of "Super Cub" in the article. Should the Super Cub be mentioned prior to that? If not, should this be changed to "a Super Cub" (preferably with further details to make it clear what Super Cub means - is it a motorcycle? I'm not sure, and therefore am not going to make the edit myself)? 95.90.235.121 (talk) 14:12, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From the same section referred to in the previous thread: "Hansen was sentenced by jury to 461 years plus life in prison". This needs a source or explanation. Alaska does not hand out life sentences, period, full stop. The maximum sentence for any single offense is 99 years, period, full stop. The news media is fond of colloquially referring to lengthy sentences as "life sentences". However, there's a difference grounded in fact between a life sentence and a fixed sentence so lengthy that there's no conceivable chance of the person going free before expiring. Was he concurrently prosecuted and tried by the federal government? I can see him also receiving a life sentence if that were the case. Otherwise, no, and this has already been hashed over in this case. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 15:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why isn't there any mention of the contribution of Maxine Farrell?
The recent Discovery+ documentary The Butcher Baker shows she provided Flothe with the files he needed to start the Task Force.
She was treated very badly, even by the standards of the day. 88.97.29.54 (talk) 12:34, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
