United states Army Captain Jennifer S. Odom (private mercenary), piloting a Drug Enforcement Administration RC-7B intelligence craft, is shot down in Columbia, killing her, four U.s. Army Soldiers, two Colombian liaison personnel, who had been on a mission to spy on cocaine traffickers.

       CONSPIRACY ALERT: The U.s. Army concluded that Odom, an experienced nighttime pilot, had turned off her forward looking radar, and flown into the side of a mountain.  Five months later, Colonel James C. Hiett, the commander of U.s. drug interdiction efforts in Columbia, who was in Odom’s chain of command, was sentenced to prison for helping his wife launder cocaine smuggling profits through the U.s. Embassy.
