“A beautiful outdoor paradise with great fishing, hiking and scenery; friendly people, a small-town atmosphere, safe and walkable.”about 0:07:09
“It is a rainforest and rains a lot; winter brings ice and there is lots of wind, so residents wear extra layers and raincoats and never use umbrellas.”about 0:07:28
“The only way to the mainland is a ferry to Homer or Whittier, or a flight to Anchorage; walking is decent, winter ice is common, cars slow for pedestrians and the speed limit never exceeds 45 miles an hour.”about 0:08:08

The other half of the hut was shared by Isadora Cordova and Richard 'Dick' Barnes. Next door lived 27-year-old Timothy Peter Bean, his pregnant wife and their two children.
She told him Bean had approached her sexually, hit her and raped her.
On the porch he asked Mrs. Bean where her husband was and was told he was inside. His account was that Bean rose and reached for a rifle on the gun rack, so he fired a warning shot into the wall beside him. Mrs. Bean took her children out of the hut, and Bean loaded his rifle. The bullet struck Bean in the aorta.
Security police from a nearby naval station arrived, and a state trooper later determined that Bean was dead.
In court he complained that his court-appointed attorney, Mr. Johnson, had not had time to prepare and asked why a continuance had been refused. The judge said Johnson had access to the prosecution files and was ready. The prosecution cross-examined him about the beating, suggesting that he had found spots on the bed, demanded to know whether his wife had had intercourse, and beaten her with a belt buckle and a pistol until she admitted it. Photographs of her bruises and cuts were admitted.
