They knew that Hansen favored this rifle. Had bragged about this rifle. Now, with the search of his residence in full motion, they needed to find that rifle. It was the firmest link they had to Hansen and the murders of the missing dancers. The problem was, troopers on the scene weren&#8217;t finding it.<\/p>\n<p>Under questioning from Sgt. Flothe, Hansen casually suggested the Mini-14 might be &#8220;in my boat. It\u2019s parked right next to my house.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>1:30 p.m.<\/strong>: Lieutenant Jent subsequently asked to look in boat for Mini-14, as HANSEN indicates it may be there. Sergeant Flothe later advised by Lieutenant Jent that permission will have to be obtained from Judge Carlson.<br \/>\n<strong>1:45 p.m.<\/strong>: Interview with DARLA HANSEN concluded.<br \/>\n<strong>2:00 p.m.<\/strong>: Lieutenant Jent amended search warrant #83-326 to include searching boat for Mini-14. HANSEN advised Flothe weapon may be in boat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lelandhale.com\/butcherbaker\/images\/murder_weapon_300.png\" alt=\"Mini-14\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Hansen&#8217;s .223 &#8220;Mini-14&#8221; &#8212; His Preferred Murder Weapon<\/strong> (courtesy Alaska State Troopers)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHey, Glenn,\u201d Jent said when he called Flothe back, \u201cyou know we\u2019re gonna have to get permission from the judge to let us look for the Mini-14 in the boat. The boat\u2019s not listed in the search warrant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re right. You better call Judge Carlson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll get over there right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat. We gotta find that gun. Hansen ain\u2019t breaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least we got a break on Henning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah,\u201d Flothe said, \u201cbut we can\u2019t make his wife testify against him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry. Once he knows we know, it\u2019s gonna be all over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah,\u201d Flothe replied. \u201cI\u2019d still feel better if we found that damned Mini-14.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll find it. If it\u2019s here, we\u2019ll find it. And I\u2019ve got a feeling it\u2019s here. It\u2019s just well-hidden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All Flothe could do, for the moment, was hope that Jent was right. At least now they had more help on the scene. And maybe they would find the Mini-14 in the boat, although it seemed like a dumb place to hide anything. Then again, Flothe thought, Hansen could be lying. For Hansen, lying was a way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpt From<\/strong>: Walter Gilmour &amp; Leland E.
