Alaska State Trooper Glenn Flothe is the through-thread between “What Happened in Craig” and “Butcher, Baker.” Flothe played an early role in the Craig murders, helping chase down possible perpetrators. From there, Flothe moved to the case of the missing dancers, which ultimately led to the arrest and sentencing of serial murderer Robert Hansen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Investor<\/em> case, one investigative thread stands out: a report from a man in Indiana who seemed to have the inside scoop on what happened in Craig. It was tantalizing and follow-through was obligatory. It took troopers on a wild goose chase to Goshen, Indiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glenn Flothe Assists – Mass Murder in Craig<\/a>
On Tuesday, September 7, 1982<\/strong>, a boat fire was reported in the remote village of Craig, Alaska, 60 miles due west of Ketchikan. What looked like a fairly routine arson quickly turned gruesome. Troopers initially found four bodies. Four others, all crewmen on the purse seiner Investor<\/em>, were missing. As 1982 turned to 1983, more victims were identified, but three remained unaccounted for: crewmen Chris Heyman and Dean Moon, and the skipper\u2019s young son Johnny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goshen, Indiana: New Lead or Dead End?<\/a>
Goshen, Indiana<\/strong> is 3,695 miles from Anchorage by road. That\u2019s a two and a half day drive, if conditions are perfect. You can, of course, take a plane. If the flights magically line up, that\u2019s a nine hour flight, first to Seattle and then on to Chicago. More like 13 hours if one misses the magic. It\u2019s another 2 hours to Goshen from Chicago, a distance of some 114 miles. By the time you arrive there from Anchorage, you\u2019re tired and hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impossible Drive: Nome, Alaska to Goshen, Indiana<\/a>
With the physical search<\/strong>\u00a0of the Goshen premises at a dead end, there was only one thing left for the troopers to learn after their 3,000 mile trek. At least they hadn\u2019t\u00a0driven<\/em>\u00a0all the way to Indiana from Anchorage. Still\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
