Flothe's Nightmare Scenario"},"content":{"rendered":"

Sgt. Glenn Flothe’s nightmare scenario was Robert Hansen in a helicopter, ready to take it down as part of some ultimate death wish. The alternate view, held by Maj. Walter Gilmore, was that Hansen was a “chicken killer.” That is, he killed other people because he was too scared to kill himself. That\u00a0<\/em>Robert Hansen would not be taking any helicopter down.<\/p>\n

The question was: when troopers took Hansen up to the Knik to identify burial sites, which Robert Hansen would show up? Sgt. Flothe was loathe to take any chances. He didn’t want the nightmare scenario to come true. He fervently wanted a nightmare free zone.<\/p>\n

\nTroopers Review Hansen’s Flight Map <\/strong>(l-r, Lt. John Lucking, Maj. Walter Gilmore, Trooper VonClasen)<\/p>\n

Lieutenant Jent told Sgt. Flothe that it was perfectly all right for them to take the State Trooper helicopter up to the Knik River to look for burial sites, and when Flothe passed along the information to Krumm and Rothschild, they decided to take Hansen up to the Knik the following day, a Friday. In the meantime they would make arrangements for Bob to see Darla Hansen, so the two of them could straighten out some of their domestic business.<\/p>\n

Flothe barely slept a wink that night. In his mind, Flothe imagined Hansen going for the control stick of the chopper and then saw them wheeling toward the ground as the pilot vainly tried to regain control. Hansen was laughing the laugh of the howling dead.<\/p>\n

The trooper sergeant was convinced that taking Bob Hansen up to the Knik River in the State Trooper\u2019s Bell helicopter was a suicide mission. If they could get a bigger chopper, something like a Huey, he\u2019d feel better, but there was no way the colonel was going to approve that. It would run something like five grand a day, and they\u2019d already spent enough money on this case.<\/p>\n

The next morning, however, when Flothe screwed up his courage to ask the colonel to rent a larger chopper, Kolovosky shrugged. \u201cOf course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat way,\u201d Flothe went on, \u201cI could put a guy on either side of him, so he doesn\u2019t pull any funny business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Kolovosky repeated.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I can sit up front with the maps, with a bulkhead between Hansen and the pilot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Kolovosky said. \u201cAnything you need, Glenn, anything you need. Oh, and by the way, congratulations.\u201d Then Kolovosky reached for a case at the front of his desk. \u201cHave a cigar.\u201d<\/p>\n
