RE: [redacted], Vancouver, B.C., Canada
At 12:15 PM, 7-9-74, [redacted], FAA, Boeing Field, advised that he had just been informed by the FAA office at Sea Tac Airport that Police Officer [redacted] had observed a passenger boarding Continental Flight 988 bound for Houston, who, the officer thought, resembled the composite of D.B. COOPER. [redacted] said he was calling the FBI at the same time that one of the representatives at the airport was contacting Continental Airlines.
Continental Airlines flight 988 departed at 12:00 Noon bound for Houston with a first stop at Denver, Colorado at 3:20 PM.
The basic information provided by [redacted] is set forth in a teletype sent by Seattle to Denver requesting that they endeavor to interview the passenger who was identified as [redacted].
The following additional information is set forth in this memo, which might not have been included in the teletype.
Suspect reportedly was sitting in the Smoking Section of the airplane.
The writer telephonically contacted BILL WELLS at the Vancouver Office of United Airlines, through the UAL switchboard at Sea-Tac, to determine what background they might have on [redacted] who had purchased his ticket through UAL, Vancouver, B.C. WELLS, in a return call, said he had identified the ticket agent who sold the ticket but the agent remembered nothing outstanding about [redacted] although the agent did not feel [redacted] was a regular customer. The transaction was recalled because it was a Canadian check, apparently converted to U.S. funds. [redacted] had a contact telephone in Vancouver of [redacted].
