JUNEAU – On Friday, November 16 at 5:30 pm at the Father Andrew P. Kashevaroff State Library, Archives, and Museum, join Leland Hale for a discussion of his new book, What Happened in Craig, published by Epicenter Press. In September 1982, the small town of Craig was rocked by the murders of eight people aboard The Investor. The investigation of the case and arrest of former crew member John Kenneth Peel became a nationwide sensation, but ultimately did not result in a conviction, making this “Alaska’s Worst Unsolved Mass Murder.” Books will be available at The Store at the APK and Mr. Hale will be available to sign books after the presentation. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum and will be recorded for later broadcast on 360 North and online at www.360north.org/at-the-apk.
Leland Hale is the author of Butcher, Baker: The True Account of an Alaskan Serial Killer, about notorious murderer Robert Hansen. His meticulous research for What Happened in Craig included the court records from the Peel case at the Alaska State Archives. Selected materials from the Archives’ collection will be on display at the event.
