Like other serial killers, Hansen kept mementoes of his kills; it was a way for him to revisit and re-live his savage butchery in the privacy of his own home. That wasn’t the only thing he hid; as a convicted felon, he was banned from owning guns. For investigators, his hidden cache in the attic was a treasure trove, as this excerpt from Butcher, Baker<\/em> illustrates:<\/p>\n

“In the corner was a Remington 552 rifle, .22 caliber. A Thompson Contender 7mm single shot pistol. An aviation map<\/a>, with marks on it. Some jewelry, including a gold arrowhead necklace. A few newspaper clippings. A Winchester 12-gauge shotgun. And, best of all, a .223 caliber Mini-14: the murder weapon.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt From: Walter Gilmour & Leland E. Hale. \u201cButcher, Baker<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Hidden
\nThompson Center Arms Contender<\/strong> (7mm, single shot)<\/p>\n

The Thompson Contender was the long-barrel gun<\/a> that Cindy Paulson identified as the one Hansen used during her kidnapping. A weapon that delivers rifle-like accuracy and power in a handgun, it’s use in Cindy’s abduction had another purpose: it’s sheer size was intimidating.<\/p>\n

The gold fish necklace (second from right) belonged to Hansen victim Andra Altiery. The single-pearl ring (far left) may also have belonged to Ms. Altiery. She is still listed as a “missing person.<\/a>”<\/p>\n
