What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.
FBI 164-81, Vault Part 110 p. 549 (DB Cooper-50274), Letter, serial SE 164-81-8909 (as read from the transcript) — cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-110%3A549-549
In response to the November 24, 1971 hijacking of the Northwest Orient airliner Nov. 24.
Your composite drawing of the man known as (D. B. Cooper) matches to a (T) a man who used to hang around an apartment on 5th Avenue. His name was D. B. Blank. I don't remember his last name, but his first name is Richard but he was going by the name of Dick.
He was broke and out of work and very worried about his money situation. He would come to the apartment of [REDACTED] and pretend to make a phone call about some job traveling selling wigs, but he would push the receiver button down and pretend he was talking to someone. He disappeared when the hijacking took place and he always wore a dark [guess: suit] suit and dark sun glasses.
I don't know his last name, but if you go to the address on the bottom of this page the manager there will know as he used to hang around there, and he used to work in a printing shop next door to the apartment house before he was fired for unknown reasons. The [REDACTED] name is [REDACTED] the Edwards House Apartments, 2619-5th Avenue.
Also this man said that he was an experienced parachutist.
So I am quite sure if you look into this information you will have the first evidence of this terrible crime. I believe if he is not in Seattle yet he is somewhere in Florida because that is where he talked about going.
Thank you for your time and patience.
