FBI 164-81, Vault Part 112 p. 156 (DB Cooper-50988), Letter, dated 8 Jun 1972, serial SE 164-81-3532 (as read from the transcript) — cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-112%3A156-156

June 8, 1972

Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D. C. 20535

Gentlemen:

As long as there has been one sky-jacker from Coos County, Oregon already apprehended (Korkow), we might as well see whether we have "D. B. Cooper" around here too.

There is a young man named [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Oregon, who let it be known last November that he had $200,000; he definitely came into some money, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Oregon, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] who had recently gone broke in this kind of work in Oregon. Other than the fact that these are ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of money all of a sudden, I have no reason to suspect [REDACTED] and no way to prove myself right or wrong without invading his privacy if in fact I could even do that. These people are acquaintances, not close friends, but I would be in trouble whether right or wrong in this matter, if word came out that I thought of wrong-doing in this connection, so please protect me.

[REDACTED] are both young enough men to be able to have used parachutes and planes in the Service.

This "hunch" has been bothering me for some time and I hope I'm wrong.
