On 1/26/73, an anonymous letter was received at [redacted] the Los Angeles Office in which the writer states "For several reasons, I strongly suspect 'D.B. Cooper' is really one [redacted] of Hollywood". He lists four reasons why he believes [redacted] is identical to the hijacker as (1) strongly resembles artist's sketch seen on television; (2) he was a paratrooper while in the military service; (3) he was out of the city when the event took place; and (4) he visits northernCalifornia.
Records of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office (LASO), Los Angeles, California Police Department (LAPD), and the Credit Bureau of Greater Los Angeles revealed no record identifiable with [redacted] Hollywood, California.
Records of the California Department of Motor Vehicles reveal one individual possibly identical to [redacted] referred to in the letter. This person was one [redacted] California Driver's License Number [redacted] male, born [redacted] 6'2", 180 pounds, blue eyes, blond hair, and residence shown as [redacted] Los Angeles, California. A former address as of 7/30/71, was shown as [redacted] Los Angeles, California. (This address is in Hollywood, California).
Discreet inquiry in the vicinity of [redacted] [redacted] Los Angeles, revealed [redacted] was employed as a real estate broker for [redacted] [redacted] Hollywood, California.

On 3/21/73, [REDACTED] was interviewed by SA C. ROBERT STRANGER at his employment. He was noted to have light blond, very thin hair, light complexion, 6'2" tall, and blue eyes. He did not appear to resemble the artist's conception nor did his physical description match that furnished by witnesses in this matter.
[REDACTED] advised he had never parachuted and his service experience consisted of being in the National Guard. He stated the writer of the letter is correct in that he does travel to northern California to meetings and conventions in connection with the real estate business. He recalls having last been in Seattle in 1963.
[REDACTED] stated he spent Thanksgiving Day of 1971 at his parents home in Pasadena with eight other members of his family.
[REDACTED] does not appear to resemble the artist's conception or match the description of the unknown subject, appears to be a reputable businessman and criminal and credit checks reveal no derogatory information regarding him. In view of the above, no further investigation will be conducted by Los Angeles at this time unless advised to the contrary by Seattle.
UNSUB CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
