I met Tamara Pederson’s stepfather on the set of the Sally Jessy Raphael<\/a> show in November, 1991. He seethed with anger that the Troopers had not solved the Hansen murders sooner. He had a point. If they’d taken Hansen in the early ’70’s there was a chance that Tammy, as she was known, would still be alive. A chance.<\/p>\n

In a telling exchange, an audience member asked Pederson how he could blame the police, because “you knew she was in a dangerous profession.” Tamara’s stepfather glared, but had no answer.<\/p>\n

\n4\/30\/84<\/strong>: Doctor ROGERS performed autopsy on found body. Subject shot twice with large calibre copper jacket recovered.<\/p>\n

The weapon that Hansen likely used here was his Thompson Contender, a large calibre pistol that was as deadly as it looked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
