Glenn Flothe and Cindy Paulson. Or did they?<\/p>\n<p>Cindy Paulson was the teenage prostitute who got away from Hansen, leading to his arrest and conviction. Sources tell us that Cindy Paulson worked with the filmmakers in telling her story. A look at the full cast and crew on IMDb confirms that, indeed, Vanessa Hudgens stars as <a title=\"IMDb: Frozen Ground cast &amp; crew\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2005374\/fullcredits#cast\">Cindy Paulson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Flothe was the Alaska State Trooper whose belief in Cindy Paulson helped bring Hansen in. According to the Variety story <a title=\"Variety: Dave McNary: Frozen Ground\" href=\"http:\/\/www.variety.com\/article\/VR1118040475\">announcing the film<\/a>, &#8220;Cage would portray the Alaska State Trooper who cracked the case.&#8221; Sounds like Glenn Flothe to me. Sounds like Glenn Flothe to a lot of people. But the Wikipedia entry for <a title=\"Wikipedia: The Frozen Ground\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Frozen_Ground\">The Frozen Ground<\/a> tells us another story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Frozen Ground\u201d is based on the true story of Alaskan detective Glenn Flothe (called Sgt. Jack Halcombe in the movie). Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen (John Cusack), a serial killer who has silently stalked the streets of Anchorage for more than 13 years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ok, all of this is fine, really. Stuff happens on the way from script to screen. And we notice that, while most of the cops kept their real names, other characters have not. For example, Darla Hansen is now called Fran Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>But there is still something nagging me. Maybe it&#8217;s this <a title=\"Sheila Toomey on Glenn Flothe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adn.com\/2011\/11\/04\/2156559\/alaska-ear.html\">little piece<\/a> by Sheila Toomey in the Anchorage Daily News, datelined November 5, 2011:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Earwigs have been wondering why the <strong>Nicolas Cage<\/strong> character isn&#8217;t called by the name of the actual trooper who led the task force that nailed Hansen, <strong>Glenn Flothe<\/strong>. Other cop characters have the names of the real people. Maybe we&#8217;ll find out when movie publicist <strong><a title=\"David Linck\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebusinessofentertainment.com\/The_Business_of_Entertainment_Three_Speakers.html\">David Linck<\/a><\/strong> interviews Flothe. Linck announced Thursday that Glenn had agreed to chat on tape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Two months on and still no sign of a <em>Glenn Flothe &#8211; David Linck<\/em> interview.
