Season 4 Episode 9 “The Cabin” The Center for Missing and Exploited Children Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

The ball is rolling and The National center for Missing and Exploited Children have joined the search for the Cabin where Megan Emerick is buried.

Megan was last seen in Seward, Alaska on July 7, 1973. Investigators believe the serial killer Robert Hansen may have been involved in Megan's disappearance, but he denied any involvement in her case.
Hansen did admit to Manfried that he brought Megan Emerick out to the Cabin, killed her and buried her there.
Hansen drew a sketch of the cabin in his cell and crumpled it up and threw it away. Manfried retrieved it and sent the original to Tony. Tony made a copy and shared it with The Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Manfried sent Tony his personal Journal that covers from May 2008 to March 9th 2009. The daily entries really give you a true perspective of what it’s like being in prison.

Tony’s favorite pastime is writing and over the years his favorite topic was comedy. He often would send the criminals copies of his writings.
Manfried especially loved Tony’s stories. Tony shared Fuck My Life with him back in September of 2008. You will hear a short conversation clip with Manfred’s reaction to the story.
Tony talks about the next episode that will be posted on Monday March 27th. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be joining the hunt for “The Cabin”.

Season 4 Special Episode: Message from Your Host Tony Ciaglia about TBI “The Silent Epidemic” Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

I suffered a severe TBI in July 1992 when I was struck in the head by a jet ski. Very little was know back then about Traumatic Brain Injury and it was a miracle that I survived. Traumatic Brain Injury then was known as “The Silent Epidemic”.

It is now March 2023, more than 30 years after my accident, and TBI is still considered The Silent Epidemic.
It is my mission in life to try and shed some light on this terrible injury and to enlighten the public on the life long effects that this injury has had on me and my family.
Debilitating psychiatric problems are common and equally devastating to the patient. Among them, depression, is on the top of the list, followed by anxiety and bipolar disorder.
According to studies there is also an increased risk of alcohol and substance-related problems and suicidal thoughts.
I’m going to share a narrative that I wrote titled “Living Life with a Brain Injury”. I hope you will listen, because it was written from my heart and is all true.
It’s my hope that after hearing it you will have a better understanding of what TBI does and someday we can stop calling it “The Silent Epidemic”.
I’m also sharing audio of my appearance on The Doctors Show and a lecture I gave at The University Of Wisconsin about Living with a TBI and of course Serial Killers.
If you want to see the presentation (which is pretty cool) check it out on our Murderphone You Tube Channel.

Take care, Stay Safe
And Remember
Always Walk In The Calm after the Storm

Show notes

Tony reveals a letter that Manfred’s attorney sent to the Parole Board in 2022 although Manfried’s hearing isn’t until 2025.

This is not a normal occurrence and you can see that Mr. Satterberg clearly believes that Manfried acted in self defense, and that he has reformed himself and deserves parole.
Tony hears about the Cabin for the first time and the fact that Hansen told him where it is.
Tony and Al were heading to Alaska for a visit with Manfried when all hell breaks loose.
Somehow Hansen finds out that Manfried has been talking to the F.B.I. about him, and the prison puts Manfried in The Hole for his own protection.
The visit is cancelled and Manfried asks Tony for more help.

Season 4 Episode 4 Getting to Know Robert Hansen. Part 2 Slipping through the Cracks of Justice, Early years, The Crimes, Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Manfried West and Robert Hansen, Nature vs Nurture: Manfried West nicknamed Robert Hansen “The Worm”
This is his story.

Robert Hansen grew up hating his father who constantly subjected him to ridicule and mockery, and a mother who was compliant in the harsh treatment of her son. The bullying Hansen suffered as a child shaped his hatred of women. He was painfully shy, had a stutter and severe acne that left him permanently scarred.
Not receiving the attention he wanted from the attractive girls in school, Hansen grew up hating them and nursing fantasies of cruel revenge.
Robert Hansen doesn't have the same kind of name recognition that someone like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy does but he was one of the country's most prolific serial killers.
He admitted to a spree of attacks against Alaskan women starting in 1971. Hansen's earliest victims were girls or young women, usually between ages 16 and 19 and not prostitutes. After abducting them, he would either rape them and release them with a warning, or fly them in his personal plane out into a remote location, where he would hunt them like animals and kill them.
Hansen is known to have raped and assaulted over thirty Alaskan women, and to have murdered at least seventeen, ranging in age from 16 to 41.
Hansen slipped through the cracks of justice many times and would have again it if wasn’t for the heroics of victim Cindy Paulson and Detective Glenn Frothe.

Show notes

In this episode we’re going all the way back to when Manfried West met his “Cellmate from Hell” Robert Hansen for the very first time.

We will hear directly from Manfried West what it was like sharing a cell with the Butcher Baker.

Manfried had to read a book about Hansen’s crimes before he realized what he did.
Hansen didn’t talk much about killing girls, but he did talk about the cabin that has never been found, where he took Megan Emerick and Mary Thill
You will hear some of the disgusting stories of the sick idiosyncrasies of a true psychopath.
Hansen and Manfried were both loners, they endured similar childhoods and they both hated their fathers.

The phone conversations will literally bring you into the cell with the worst serial killer in Alaskan history.
