Re: William Clemens
Enclosed herewith for the Seattle Division is one (1) driver's license photograph for William Ivan Clemens (deceased) dated 12/2/76.
On 1/6/82, records of the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) disclosed a driver's license, number B2050929, for William Ivan Clemens, born 12/4/17, who as of 12/2/76 resided at 2452 Alto Cerro Circle, San Diego, California, the address referred to in referenced communication as belonging to William Clemens. [REDACTED] the Seattle Division [REDACTED] California, dated [REDACTED]
CLETS records further identified Clemens as a male, 6'1", 185 pounds, green eyes, brown hair. Records disclose that Clemens was deceased.

Comparison of the enclosed driver's license photograph does not disclose any marked resemblance to the artist's conception drawing of "D.B. Cooper".

On 1/25/82, [REDACTED] California, telephone number [REDACTED] was contacted relative to the information furnished in his letter to the Seattle Office referred to above. [REDACTED] stated that he was prompted to write the letter after viewing an "In Search Of" episode on television con- cerning "D.B. Cooper" in the captioned hijacking. In [REDACTED] estimation, the artist's conception drawing of "Cooper" reminded him of Clemens. He had no other reason than this believed resemblance to consider Clemens a suspect in the captioned matter, but believed that Clemens was a retired airline pilot, although he did not know for which airlines Clemens had flown. Clemens had never [REDACTED] of any paratrooper-type experience and was fairly tight-lipped re- garding his personal life. [REDACTED] believed that this could be accounted for, possibly by the fact that Clemens was in apparently failing health due to a terminal disease resulting ultimately in his death.
Other than the above, [REDACTED] was able to furnish no infor- mation other than that contained in his original letter, indicating any additional reason why Clemens should be considered a possible suspect in this case.

The enclosed photograph is being forwarded to Seattle for possible display to witnesses in this matter. No further investigation regarding Clemens is contemplated at San Diego unless requested by Seattle.
