    Penny Files: Alaska State Troopers, Unfinished Business
    • Alaska State Trooper Captain Meadow received a worried call from an old friend named Gus. The captain asked old friend Trooper Penny Rossiter to stop on her way home to check on the old man. Gus Sampson's home was eleven miles out Funny River Road outside Soldotna, Alaska. Gus told the small, red-haired, pretty State Trooper he's worried about a friend up the road and asked her to check on him. Gus rode along. At the cabin, she asked Gus to wait while she checked it out. Finding Will Goodson beat to death in his living room, Penny called the crime scene team to investigate. The five-member team, headed by David Haskins, collected evidence as Penny returned Gus to his cabin. Returning home, she got a call asking her to fly a search mission to look for two sisters and their young boys missing on Resurrection Trail between Hope and Cooper Landing, Alaska. These Goodson and search files became cold cases. When she returned to check on Goodson's cabin long after CSI was gone, she's fired upon and nearly killed. Soon after, she's medically retired, and David Haskins takes up the search for answers in her unsolved cases. His association with Penny, now a lawyer, leads to marriage. In the process they discover a drug ring, murdered drug dealers and users and an upstanding citizen who is somehow connected to all this illegal activity. This is an endless, frustrating chase from the first file to the last.

What investigators found in his plane would make many people rich, if they had a connection to it. But easy come, easy go, and possession of another man's fortune would make people do a lot of surprising things. Some not so easy and some that would never go away.
