  Almost all of the quotes from this chapter are thanks to Mary Katzke, documentary filmmaker and playwright. While researching her play Dancing for the Hunter, she interviewed a great many prostitutes at the time of the Hansen murders. Katzke changed the names of the girls whom she interviewed, for their own protection. All of the quotes attributed to Hansen and the prostitutes are thanks to the kind assistance of Mary Katzke, who collected a great many documents during her research, including court transcripts.
