Special Agent Hanson and Deputy Marshal Edward Flanery, of the United State Marshals Service, were killed when their vehicle was struck by Omaha passenger train No. 80 near Humboldt, South Dakota. It is believed that the driver of the vehicle could not see the approaching train as a result of a heavy snowfall at the time. The officers were en route from Sioux Falls to Salem and Carthage in order to serve several warrants.
