This blog<\/strong> has explicitly recognized the importance of Cindy Paulson<\/a> in blowing the Robert Hansen case wide open. We have, in fact, dedicated 22 posts<\/a> to Cindy, more than any other single person involved in this case (although Sgt. Glenn Flothe is there throughout). We do this, of course, with the benefit of hindsight. In the real world, that “hindsight” took a while to develop. Not too long, mind you. But long enough for Hansen to have struck again, had he not been so freaked out about what had gone down with Cindy.<\/p>\n

\"Hindsight\"
\nCindy Paulson<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the entries below, Sgt. Glenn Flothe chronicles the day-to-day of the “missing dancers” investigation. We call them “missing dancers” because, before Cindy, that’s all the police had. Dancers who had suddenly gone missing.<\/em><\/p>\n

These entries record the rhythm of police work — and how one discovery leads to the next. A new piece of information surfaces. A trooper follows up on it. Two weeks later, he takes a two week vacation. It takes more than a month for him to receive the case file from another agency.\u00a0Even so, Sergeant Haugsven’s earliest steps show that he takes the Cindy Paulson information seriously.<\/p>\n

He looks for the cabin that Hansen mentioned to Cindy. He starts keeping an eye on Hansen’s airplane flights. These small steps will soon pay off. These small steps began to provide “hindsight” into the biggest serial-murder case in Alaska history.<\/p>\n
