[REDACTED b6/b7C]

Gentlemen:

I heard a story last November, while playing cards with a group of friends in South Jersey which I have never been able to get out of my mind because it made me think of the skyjacker you have never caught, Mr. Cooper.

It was about a man named [REDACTED b6/b7C] who was once under suspicion as a skyjacker. He, apparently, is now living on the West Coast.

[REDACTED b6/b7C], Sarah H. Vogel, was then moving to the [REDACTED b6/b7C] because she had falsely accused a young woman of using drugs. She had said that she knew the young woman used drugs because she had loaned her the money to buy them. When she was told that she had probably helped the young woman to commit a crime, she changed her story by saying that although the young woman had bought drugs with money loaned by her, she had no prior knowledge of it. She caused so much trouble that she had to move from Haddon View, and according to my friends had lived in about every apt. house in New Jersey - always leaving because of trouble. The trouble that interested me, however, was the story of [REDACTED b6/b7C] and the skyjacking matter. The way they talked about him, it seemed to me that he fitted the description of the Cooper skyjacker.

Did you think to check out [REDACTED b6/b7C] Are you still investigating the Cooper matter? If my hunch is correct, I will present a copy of this letter to you and collect any reward.

Good Lunk!

P. S. I have just talked to one of the ladies at the card party and she says that you might be able to find out some information from Mrs. Vogel's [REDACTED b6/b7C] [REDACTED b6/b7C]
