Sergeant Troy Hillman Phoenix Police Department, Ret.

Troy Hillman is a retired police sergeant who in 1997 left his career as a Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) to become a police officer with the Phoenix Police Department. Eventually, his passion for “cold case” victims and zeal for hunting the most elusive of serial killers led him to become a detective, and he spent more than ten years of his career in law enforcement working with an elite cold case homicide team that solved hundreds of murders dating back as far as the 1970s.  

During his law enforcement career received extensive specialized training in such disciplines as cold case investigations training, crime scene management, and intelligence gathering. He recently published a book with Pegasus Crime entitled “Chasing Down the Zombie Hunter” and volunteers with Parents of Murdered Children and Silent Witness. 

A camping, fishing, and hiking enthusiast, Troy lives in the Greater Phoenix area with his wife and two daughters.
