About this episode

The episode discusses the troubled life and murder of 18-year-old Eric Hansen.

18 year old Eric Hansen had a rough childhood in Wisconsin. His parents divorced when he was young, he had run away several times, and he was an outcast in high school. The last time he ran away, he told his mom he was going to Indiana. But he actually went to live with a 50 year old gay man in Milwaukee. Our True Crime Quickie is from 2014 in British Columbia.
