First came the realization that maybe Hansen didn&#8217;t live alone. She spotted women&#8217;s clothes in the laundry area. And then she saw toys, too, in the den. She thought him old enough to be a grandfather &#8212; though in fact those toys belonged to Hansen&#8217;s children, as well as his wife, who kept them for the learning disabled children she tutored.<\/p>\n<p>Their house, in fact, shared a back boundary with the local school, Creekside Elementary. Kids tromped through the woods on their way for tutoring sessions, which provided Darla with financial independence &#8212; and Bob with the &#8216;good family man&#8217; cover he so desperately needed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lelandhale.com\/butcherbaker\/images\/hansen_backyard.png\" alt=\"Hansen's backyard\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Rear View of the Hansen House<\/strong>.
