The Glacier Gallows
“JULY 12.
TO COLE’S SURPRISE, SPECIAL AGENT McCallum called him the next morning to tell him that he was free to return to Canada. He could pick his passport up at the Bureau of Indian Affairs office after 10:00 AM and there was a bus scheduled to run between Browning, Montana, and Lethbridge, Alberta, at noon. McCallum’s instructions were very clear. Cole was to report to the RCMP any movements that he made and he was not to leave Alberta. Cole’s pointing out that he lived in British Columb...ia fell on deaf ears. “You’re a material witness in an open murder investigation. It’s either Alberta or Montana. You choose.”
“What about my gear?”
“When the investigation is over, it will be returned to you.”
THE LONG RIDE from Browning to Lethbridge gave Cole plenty of time to think. As Cole watched the landscape of the Great Plains slip by, the uplands rising and falling, his fellow passengers argued, drank from liquor bottles thinly concealed by paper bags, or snored.MoreLess
