FEATURE STORY
Jan 23, 2012 - by Fran Briggs

Heart-wrenching books like 'He Killed Our Janny' (Create Space, 2011) often purport poignancy and vivid realism. As well it should. As a matter of fact, it's one of the most impactful true crime stories of our time according to True Crime Book Reviews (http://truecrimebookreviews.com).

The book was first reviewed by TCBR on December 16, 2011. The literary group then galvanized the captivating, 'He Killed Our Janny' as one of "2011's Top 10 True Crime Books --Best of the Best 2011" on January 20, 2012. Author, Sherrie Lueder, was caught off guard by the beguiling achievement.

"I was so excited when I learned that 'He Killed Our Janny' was voted as one of the books for the top ten true crime book awards," said Lueder. "It's incredible to be listed in the same category with authors such as Ann Rule. I will always be grateful to the Hansen family - John, Jill and Kim - for giving me the opportunity to write their story."

For those reading about 'He Killed Our Janny' for the first time, the book details a son and daughter's painful memories deeply expressed, and their fight for survival. Fueled by transcendent memories and decades of cover-up, the siblings unravel the truth. Then-children John and Jill grew up in an abusive and intensely arresting home in the suburbs of Denver.

The book outlines the siblings' own investigation into their Mother's mysterious death, Janyce "Janny" Hansen, and chronicles their valiant pursuit of justice. Their story is told to, and brilliantly put together by bestselling author, Sherrie Lueder. At the time of her death, Janyce Hansen was a former top model. She, along with her husband, Richard and children lived in an upscale home in the suburbs. Publicly, the Hansens were a well-respected, affluent, glamorous family living in Denver, Colorado. But behind closed doors, dark secrets were kept.

Janyce was physically and mentally abused by her husband and struggled with letting go. Richard was a family man who covertly operated gambling and prostitution businesses from the family home. Shaping the order of their existence, Richard terrified, beat, and sexually assaulted his adopted children, and reportedly murdered his wife.

Credit for incorporating criminal and justice records, and purposed evidence of murder research is given to Lueder's sister, Kim Taarud Hansen of Arizona.

"I can't believe it; we did it!" Exclaimed an elated Kim Taarud Hansen. "We just self-published it 4 months ago. Our book is a winner and it was up against several New York Time's Best Selling authors' books. All of our hard work, years spent planning, researching, and fighting for justice and bringing awareness against domestic violence and child abuse are finally being recognized."

Recently, the book caught the attention of a Hollywood screen writer. And, it was listed in the top 100 on Amazon's Best Seller/Kindle List under the True Crime/Murder-Mayhem category. 'He Killed Our Janny' is available at Amazon.com as well as other online and traditional bookstores. For media inquiries, please contact Kim Hansen at kim@jaksgoldenknights.com or call 480-289-1549.
