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.

Similarities in the sketch of the fellow calling himself D B Cooper skyjacker and the retired service man operating the PX gas service sta on Detrick Post is strikingly similar. Also he is a Ex Paratrooper. Might be worth checking.

The following investigation at Frederick, Maryland was conducted by SA RONALD R. LICHTINGER on 9/18/72:
Main Post Exchange, b6 Fort Detrick, Maryland, advised that the sketch of the b7C skyjacker is somewhat similar to her PX service station supervisor, MR. HOMER R. COREN. She said that COREN began working for her on 12/13/71 and prior to his discharge from the Army had been stationed at the East Coast Telecommunications Center at Fort Detrick. She said that he held several jobs between the time of his discharge and the date he was hired by her, the last one being with Montgomery Wards at the Fredericktowne Mall, Frederick.
