Who Shot Rachel Hansen?? #unsolvedmysteries #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

When this all unfolded, Kim was under the impression that the criminal justice system worked, that all detectives knew
how to do their jobs and that they did them well. Well, that bubble would burst in a hard way. When the person who shot
Rachel Hansen fled her apartment around 2:00 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. Rachel knows that she's in bad condition, so
she wastes no time when the call connects. "I've been shot," she tells them. "Someone broke in and shot me." In
about 5 minutes, first responders are there at the scene, and they start working on her there before rushing her
to the hospital. But the bullet that went through her just did too much damage. And after 3 hours in surgery,
[music] doctors couldn't save her. But here's the tragedy on top of the tragedy. When
Rachel went to the hospital and while she was in surgery, her family had no idea. Our reporter Nicole Kagan spoke to
Rachel's [music] mom, Kim Hansen, and she said that no one came to notify the family until 7 a.m. after Rachel had
died. No one called them when Rachel was found or when she was in surgery at the
hospital, which still bothers Kim to this day knowing that her daughter was there all alone. But that is far from
the only thing that bothers her. There would be plenty more heartbreak and disappointment [music] coming.
