On the night of Hansen ’s conviction, Glenn and his wife, Cherry, took Cindy for dinner at the Corsair. The next day, she left Anchorage and got involved with prostitution again.

Rescuing Cindy Paulson was always a mission to rescue her from herself. When Cindy was finally ready to come in from the cold, Flothe sprang to action. “Once Flothe managed to gain Cindy ’ s confidence, he knew it was imperative to do all in his power to protect her as a witness. He would soon find out what a difficult task that could be. At one point, Cindy ran away from her pimp, and another woman took her in, all of which was a relief to Flothe.
