Angela “Angie” Feddern, a 24-year-old White/Caucasian woman from Palmer, Alaska, was reported lost to gun violence on February 1, 1983. Accounts compiled since her death place her among the young women targeted in Southcentral Alaska during that period; memorial and gravesite records identify her as having been abducted in February 1983 and later killed.

By the fall of 1983, investigators with the Alaska State Troopers and Anchorage authorities focused on local baker Robert C. Hansen after the escape of a teenage victim led to fresh evidence. Hansen was arrested in October 1983 following a lengthy interview and searches of his home, vehicles, and property, during which investigators uncovered jewelry tied to victims and a map marked with burial sites. In early 1984 he agreed to plead guilty to multiple murders and other felonies; contemporary and retrospective accounts note that he ultimately admitted to killing many more women than the four murders to which he formally pleaded. He received a sentence of 461 years without the possibility of parole and later died in prison.

In the weeks after his plea discussions, Hansen led investigators to remote graves in the Mat-Su and Kenai areas. On April 26, 1984, troopers flew to Figure Eight Lake, west of the Susitna River, where they located remains at a grave site Hansen had flagged; summaries of the recovery operations list Angela Feddern among the victims found during those searches.

As to arrests and suspects, public records tie Angela Feddern's killing to Robert C. Hansen. He is the sole named offender associated with her case in state and media archives; no additional suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in connection with her death beyond Hansen's 1983 arrest and 1984 convictions.
