...Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael E. Marr made the bail stick by convincing a district court last week that Southerland was an "incredibly high bail risk." The reason: federal authorities believe that Southerland is an operative in an international ring that allegedly has been smuggling millions of dollars worth of heroin into the U.S. over the past eight years. The principal modus transportati, investigators contend, is G.I. cadavers...
...grisly logistics are not as difficult as they may appear to be. Smugglers with access to military facilities apparently have managed to sew the heroin into the corpses in Southeast Asia. While the body count is low these days, it only takes a few to bring in a sizable cache of drugs. The smugglers can do this-as well as travel back and forth at will-by dint of counterfeit credentials. On this flight the heroin was presumably removed at Hickam Field, where many military transports from Indochina stop for 16 to 24 hours before proceeding to the mainland...

...didn't the police destroy the heroin and cocaine caches? The bureaucratic answer is that evidence must be kept while there is any chance of legal appeals or additional prosecutions in a case. Still, it would seem that the possession of such valuable and tempting evidence as hard drugs called for the most stringent security measures. The property clerk's office is a midden of paper and confusion, where tons of pieces of evidence are stored under the casual supervision of an understaffed force. Incredibly, no inventory of confiscated goods has ever been made...
