Notorious Alaska killer gets small-screen treatment By Scott Christiansen Anchorage Press
THE CAMERA TRACKS an actress running through the forest. She's frightened, and not dressed for the woods, wearing pumps and a short blue dress. A long bandage that once served as a blindfold has unraveled from her head, but she's in too much of a hurry to untangle it from her shoulders. Behind her in the woods, the camera captures a thin white man wearing horn-rimmed glasses. It's Bob Hansen, Alaska's most famous killer. He is dressed for the outdoors and he carries a rifle.
That's one of the recreated scenes from a true crime program produced for the TV channel Investigation Discovery about Hansen, Alaska's most infamous killer, and how he was brought to justice. Publicity for the show describes it as a one-hour "special" to air on ID Wednesday, January 25, under the title Alaska: Ice Cold Killers. (It's scheduled to lead into a new true crime series about serial killers called Dark Minds.) The publicists allowed the Press to screen via internet an early edit of the show that ran closer to two hours and was unfinished. (Note to producers: "Knik" has two syllables-add a hard "K" up front.) (more...)

There weren't that many women living in Alaska at that time, unless she had been a native; even then, you would think someone would step forward and indentify this woman.
This guy was truly sick, and I'm glad he is no longer on the loose.
