  We propose a possible perturbative QCD solution to the heavy quark tomography
problem posed by recent non-photonic single electron data from central Au+Au
collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ AGeV. Jet quenching theory is extended to
include (1) elastic as well as (2) inelastic parton energy losses and (3) jet
path length fluctuations. The three effects combine to reduce the discrepancy
between theory and the data without violating the global entropy bounds from
multiplicity and elliptic flow data. We also check for consistency with the
pion suppression data out to 20 GeV. Fluctuations of the geometric jet path
lengths and the difference between the widths of fluctuations of elastic and
inelastic energy loss play essential roles in the proposed solution.
