Claire Bowie

Claire Bowie, the Night Flier’s first victim, had been CCA’s night traffic controller and owned a quarter interest in the airfield. The other employees had consisted of two mechanics and a second ground controller (the ground controllers also sold chips, cigarettes, and sodas; further, Dees had learned, the murdered man had made a pretty mean cheeseburger).

The night traffic controller and part-owner of the airfield is identified as the first victim.
