What Happened In Craig: On a foggy afternoon in September of 1982 the Investor, a salmon fishing vessel, was engulfed in flames near the tiny village of Craig, Alaska. All efforts to stop the blaze were repulsed by the heat and fury of fire—until the blaze had run its course. Eight people, including a pregnant woman and two small children, were missing. On the charred wreck of the Investor, Alaska State Troopers hoped to find evidence that the fire was accidental, and that the crew and family were away from the scene. Instead, they found bullet-ridden bodies. |

Butcher, Baker: a true-crime work about serial killer Robert Hansen. Hansen murdered up to 30 - or more - young women in Alaska over the decade starting in the 1970s. A world-class hunter and pilot, he used the Alaska bush as the ultimate killing field. Many of his victims were topless dancers and prostitutes, catering to pipleline workers who'd come to Alaska to strike it rich. One of his to-be victims, a seventeen year old prostitute, managed to escape. Her tale of chains and ropes and guns ultimately led to Hansen's arrest and confession. The movie, The Frozen Ground, starring Nicolas Cage and John Cusack, was inspired by this work.
