Ozark Airlines Flight 809 crashed in a severe storm on approach to the St. Louis International Airport.

Background information provided by retired CID Special Agent Bill Evans, who was the officer-in-charge of the Hue-Phu Bai CID Field Office at the time of the incident.

Heggen and Tibbs, both assigned to the Hue-Phu Bai CID Field Office, were en route to Quanq Tri Combat Base to conduct interviews. They approached a convoy check point between Hue and Quang Tri just as a military policeman, assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, shot and killed a staff sergeant. They apprehended the MP, collected the evidence and conducted witness interviews. The MP was later convicted of murder and sentenced to Fort Leavenworth.

Their investigation disclosed that the checkpoint had been established to ensure that military vehicles traveling south moved in convoys of four or more vehicles. This was standard area procedure for that area. It was controlled by one MP. The staff sergeant was en-route to the unit personnel office at Phu Bai Combat Base to out-process. While waiting for more vehicles to arrive the staff sergeant approached the MP several times and demanded to be allowed to proceed. Each time the MP explained that he would have to wait until a convoy could be formed. The SSG then became involved in a heated argument with the MP at which point the MP drew his 45 caliber sidearm and shot the SSG, holstered his weapon, walked back to his post and picked up a comic book and began to look at it.
