Police in Alaska took 48 minutes to arrive at the home of an Alaska Native corporate executive who was killed earlier this month.

Police didn't have Glenn Godfrey's home address in the 911 computer system. An off-duty police officer who happened to know the area was able to help officers find the home.

By the time the police arrived, Glenn Godfrey was dead. Patti was seriously injured. She had made the 911 call.

The assailant, Karen Brand, killed herself.

Godfrey was the state's first Alaska Native to head the State Troopers. He went on to become the state's first public safety commissioner, a post he left this summer to help run an Alaska Native regional corporation.
