Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. Listen, you guys, if you have

been with us long enough, you've probably heard me talk about the gift of fear. That is the title of a book

by Gavin DeBacker, but the message is right there. Some call it a six sense. You might even call it

full-body chills depending on when it strikes you. But there is something intuitive in us that if we trust

can tell us that we are in trouble. Now, it's not always an alarm. Sometimes it's this quiet feeling

warning you of someone's presence, telling you that you're not alone. And that is the very feeling

that woke up 19-year-old Rachel Hansen from sleep

one June night in 2022. The adrenaline coursing through her spiked when she opened her eyes

to find someone standing over her bed staring at her. Rachel let out a scream and that sent the person running out of her room, then out of her

apartment completely, without ever uttering a word.

And that should have been the worst thing that happened to Rachel in that Gilbert,

Arizona apartment.

But it wasn't because the very next night when Rachel was asleep in bed,

just after 2 a.m., a dark figure entered her bedroom again, held up a gun, and shot her in the

abdomen before fleeing. Was that first break-in unrelated? Or was it a warning, A bad omen of what was to come? To this day,

no suspects have been named. And if you read the heavily redacted 338-page police file that the

Gilbert Police Department released in 2024, you will learn a whole lot of nothing. But to leave it at that is not exactly the crime junkie nature.

So our team did some investigating.

Join us as we unravel the mystery of who killed Rachel Hanson.

Thank you. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm When the person who shot Rachel Hansen fled her apartment around 2 a.m. on June 4th, 2022, she was still alive. Rachel was bleeding from her abdomen

and her upper back, where the bullet had entered and exited, but she could still move, so she

grabbed her phone and rushed to the apartment bathroom where she called 911.
