75-year-old serial killer who killed 17 women dies in Anchorage prison

Robert Hansen was a self-confessed serial killer and rapist nzherald.co.nz . He was convicted in 1984 after he confessed to killing 17 women, most of them were dancers and prostitutes, during a 12-year span. The Anchorage baker had also confessed to raping another 30 women in that time.
He used to abduct women and hunt them down in the Alaska wilderness in the 1970s – it was a sort of perverted game to him and he was convicted of just four of the murders in a deal that spared him having to go to trial 17 times.
He died at Alaska Regional Hospital after being in declining health for the past year, Alaska Department of Corrections spokeswoman Sherrie Daigle said. He was 75-years-old at the time of his death. He had been serving a 461-year sentence in Alaska at the time of his death.
Hansen was nicknamed "the Butcher Baker," he owned a bakery in a downtown mini-mall in the 1970s and 1980s and lived across town with his wife and children, who knew nothing of his other life.
Incidentally, Hansen was the subject of a 2013 film titled, "The Frozen Ground," which starred Nicolas Cage as an Alaska State Trooper who was investigating the slayings. Actor John Cusack portrayed Hansen.
