Hansen, 1\/31\/84, Sgt. Glenn Flothe (&#8220;Ruff Copy&#8221;)<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As momentous as this sounds &#8212; and it was momentous &#8212; the case against Robert Hansen was still bumping along at a fast-crawl. Sergeant Stauber, who had been assigned to the Goulding Homicide, was on leave from 9-15-83 to 9-23-83. Sgt. Haugsven, who had the Sherry Morrow Homicide, returned from leave on 9-15-83. That these two homicides were treated separately was problematic. But with Haugsven back, Flothe now had a fellow traveller to share the excitement of his discoveries. The background investigation was starting to pay off.<\/p>\n<p>And, in that, troopers started to see the meandering road their predecessor&#8217;s had been forced to travel. More than that, they started to see how past investigations had been thwarted. For sure, it was a shared responsibility. But some of the people responsible for overseeing Robert Hansen were clueless (helpless?), even in the face of overwhelming evidence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lelandhale.com\/butcherbaker\/images\/hansen-bakery-828-E-9.png\" alt=\"Background\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Former Site of Hansen&#8217;s Bakery &#8212; 9th Avenue View <\/strong>(Google Streetview; illustration, Leland E.
