Body of Alaska serial killer's victim exhumed
Rachel D'Oro Associated Press Sep 4, 2014
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The remains of an unidentified victim of
recently deceased Alaska serial killer Robert Hansen were being
exhumed from an Anchorage gravesite, 30 years after her killer
led authorities to her body near a lake north of the city.
Hansen confessed to killing 17 women in the 1970s and early
'80s, hunting victims down in the wilderness as if they were
game. Hansen died Aug. 21 at age 75 while serving a 461-year
sentence in Alaska.
The exhumation at Anchorage Memorial Park Wednesday afternoon
was for the remains of an unidentified woman believed to be in
her late teens whose body was found April 25, 1984, near
Horseshoe Lake.
"We know what happened to her," said Stephen Hoage, operations
administrator for the state medical examiner's office, among
those participating in the exhumation. "We're not trying to
solve the crime. We just want her to be identified."
The woman became known as "Horseshoe Harriet" to some, according
to Jason Grenn with the state health department. The agency
oversees the medical examiner's office.
The work is being paid for by the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children, which hopes DNA testing and facial
reconstruction will lead to her identity. A former forensic
anthropologist for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is
working for the center on the case.
Hoage said the woman was among cases of unidentified and missing
people that were being reviewed about six months ago by
representatives of the center. They contacted his office about
exhuming the body.
Authorities received permission to exhume the body the day
before Hansen died, Hoage said.
"It was a very big coincidence," Hoage said as he stood near the
dug-up site and a small grave marker for "Jane Doe #3."
The date on the marker is April 24, 1984, one day off of the
date the body was found. But that's not the only discrepancy.
Another Hansen victim, DeLynn Frey, reportedly also was found
near the same lake on the same day, but Hoage said Frey was
found near another lake in 1985.
Hansen was convicted in 1984 after confessing to killing 17
women, mostly dancers and prostitutes, during a 12-year span
that included the state's oil pipeline construction boom in the
1970s. Hansen was convicted of just four of the murders in a
deal that spared him having to go to trial 17 times.
Hansen was the subject of a 2013 film titled, "The Frozen
Ground," which starred Nicolas cage as an Alaska State Trooper
investigating the slayings. Actor John Cusack portrayed Hansen.
Hansen owned a bakery in a downtown mini mall. He lived across
town with his wife and children, who knew nothing of his double
life.
He would abduct the women and take them to remote places outside
the city. Sometimes he would drive and other times he would fly
his private plane. Investigators have said that in some
instances Hansen would rape the women but return them to
Anchorage, warning them not to contact authorities.
Other times, he would let the women go free in the wilderness
and then hunt them with his rifle.
