Dear [REDACTED]
This letter is in regards to the parachuting skyjacking on November 24, 1971 of a Northwest Airlines plane between Seattle, Washington and Reno, Nevada. This case has, so far, not been solved and the skyjacker who collected $200,000 is known only as D.B. Cooper.
---
In a telephone conversation on November 8, 1973 with [REDACTED] at Northwest Airlines, St. Paul, Minnesota, we discussed rewards offered in this case. He told me of rewards having been offered of 10% of recovered amounts, or possibly $25,000 if all is recovered. [REDACTED] also told me of a Seattle newspaper offering $5000.
---
By telephone conversation on November 6, 1973 and personal meeting on November 8, 1973, [REDACTED] gave information to special agent Bob Stranger of the Wilshire Office of the F.B.I. in Los Angeles. This information concerened possibilities of a [REDACTED] as a suspect in the November 24, 1971 skyjacking. Since November 8, 1973 we have had other contacts with Special Agent Bob Stranger.
---
This information re-opened the investigation of [REDACTED] as a suspect. Until the November 8, 1971 meeting between Special Agent Bob Stranger and ourselves, [REDACTED] had been presumed [REDACTED] on November 21, 1973 (three days before the sky- jacking). We gave evidence that he is alive and also clues th[REDACTED] there might be a link between him and the skyjacking.
---
This letter is to serve as claim to any such available rewards should [REDACTED] be brought to justice in connection with the parachuting skyjack of November 24, 1971 of the Northwest Airline.
