Honor Camp

The first time I interviewed Ken Haselhuhn, he was incarcerated at the “Honor Conservation Camp,” a minimum-security detention facility in Newcastle, Wyoming. I was interested in Haselhuhn because of the mysterious role he had played as an intermediary in an alleged gun trade on the night Matthew was robbed and beaten. I was also aware that Haselhuhn had been a sequestered witness for the prosecution during Aaron’s 1999 trial.

Ultimately, Cal Rerucha had never called Haselhuhn to testify, so it wasn’t totally clear what his testimony might have involved. But the fact that officials saw the need to protect Haselhuhn as a witness caught my attention. The only other witness they had guarded that conscientiously was Kristen Price.

When I asked Cal why he hadn’t put Haselhuhn on the stand, he said he’d been able “to build a strong case against McKinney without him.” That seemed true enough, but I also had a hunch that questioning Haselhuhn might have opened a line of inquiry that a few police officials — if not Cal himself — hoped to avoid.
