Was he lazy? Panicked? Careless? Or did the clustered bodies speak instead to his ritual obsessions, so that it was easier for him to revisit the gravesites and re-live the murders at his leisure? Certainly the clustered gravesites made it easier on the cops when it came time to recover them, but that likely was the last thing on Bob Hansen&#8217;s mind.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the contents of a paper bag found near the clustered remains revealed the intimate details of someone who would otherwise remain unidentified. She&#8217;d been wearing a dress jacket, Levi&#8217;s and nylon stockings; even her shoes were in that improvised tote bag. She had also carried a purse with makeup and an injection kit: Bic lighter, spoon and hypodermic needle. The injection kit told troopers\u00a0she was\u00a0cooking drugs. That was the sign of a junkie.<\/p>\n<p>And the Buck hunting knife? Possibly a contributing factor in her death. Had she flashed it at Hansen, he surely would have killed her. Not that it mattered much either way. He probably killed her anyway.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/lelandhale.com\/butcherbaker\/images\/Flothe-sequence-5-14-84.png\" alt=\"Handwritten\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Courtesy Alaska State Troopers<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lelandhale.com\/butcherbaker\/images\/goulding_grave_second_body.png\" alt=\"Clustered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Courtesy Alaska State Troopers<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Purchase <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Butcher-Baker-Account-Alaskan-Serial\/dp\/1504049489\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521675359&amp;sr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Butcher, Baker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That Robert Hansen would go back to the same spots along the Knik River, and leave bodies clustered there, says&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9,12,24,25,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alaskana","category-butcher-baker","category-ebook","category-paperback","category-photos","category-serial-murder"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Arrest of Robert Hansen: Clustered Graves in the Killing Fields - Butcher Baker<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hansen&#039;s map and markings clustered several bodies together on the Knik.
