Butcher, Baker by Walter Gilmour & Leland E. Hale

Alaska State Trooper Walter Gilmour, writing with Leland E. Hale, takes readers inside the chilling investigation of one of Alaska's most prolific serial killers in Butcher, Baker. During the oil-boom frenzy of the 1970s and early 80s, Robert Hansen lived a seemingly conventional life as a respected family man and local baker in Anchorage. But beneath the surface lurked a hidden monster who abducted women, flew them into the remote Alaskan wilderness, hunted them down, and killed them. This gripping true crime narrative, told from the perspective of a key investigator, chronicles Hansen’s twisted urges, the gruesome details of his crimes against at least seventeen known victims (with dozens more suspected), and the painstaking police work required to finally unmask and capture the deadly "Butcher Baker."
