MOO! Hansen's psychological profile is my major reason for thinking the killer chose a knife as a weapon and the cover of darkness to act. "In his youth, he was painfully shy, had a stutter and severe acne that left him permanently scarred. Not receiving the attention he wanted from the attractive girls in school, Hansen grew up hating them and nursing fantasies of cruel revenge." At one point he burned a school bus. One of his kidnapped victims escaped, handcuffed, from the backseat of his Piper Cub and fled to the nearest highway where a trucker picked her up. She begged to be dropped at a nearby motel where she pleaded with the desk clerk to call her boyfriend, NOT THE POLICE. John Douglas predicted the killer would be an experienced hunter with low self-esteem, have a history of being rejected by women, and would feel compelled to keep "souvenirs" of his murders. He also suggested that the assailant might stutter. While incarcerated Hansen was diagnosed with manic depression and periodic schizophrenic episodes. The shrink who made the diagnosis noted that Hansen had an “infantile personality” and was obsessed with getting back at people he felt had wronged him. He felt important, even God-like, when hunting kidnapped women in the long night of the Alaskan bush. MOO again! I've thought from the very beginning that this killer is going to be shyly non-descript, weird but not scary, possibly with a list of lesser crimes against both people and places and something noticeably aberrant like a limp, bad teeth, a skin disorder or yes, even a stutter. I wish the BAU would release what they're thinking because Douglas hit Hansen square on. With this depth of description someone might immediately recognize him.

I wasn’t familiar with that.
Sorry I can’t go back & thread properly, but in an earlier comment, you asked about actual hunters involved in killing humans, IIRC. My immediate contribution to that list, in addition to Israel Keyes, is Robert Christian Hansen. For those not familiar, don’t read before bed:
