U.S. Colonel's Wife Named in Colombia Drug Smuggling

By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
In April and May, Laurie Anne Hiett, the wife of an Army colonel in charge of all United States military operations in Colombia, mailed six packages to New York City from the American Embassy in Bogotá. Each was sealed in plain brown paper and weighed several pounds.
Ms. Hiett sent four of them to an apartment in Queens and the others to mail drops in Queens and Manhattan. She wrote her name clearly on the return addresses and filled out United States Customs forms declaring the contents to be books on Colombia or items like candy, a T-shirt, coffee or candles.
