Heroin Hidden in Dead Soldiers Routed Through Hawaii
UPI reports a vast heroin operation sewn into the bodies and coffins of Vietnam dead, allegedly entering the U.S. via Hawaii. Ex‑GIs with Southeast Asia ties reportedly infiltrated body prep centers, with heroin packed in plastic and stashed in coffins aboard KC135 flights. Case details center on Thomas E. Sutherland and a Baltimore bail hearing, amid claims of a long running international conspiracy and unguarded transit at Honolulu and Andrews Air Force Base.
