OO: SEATTLE

164-81-1a486 [handwritten] Enclosed for Seattle are two photographs of suspect DAVID ARTHUR STAUDT.

For the information of Seattle, Milwaukee Agents recently had occasion to interview a [redacted b6/b7C] [redacted] at Milwaukee County Jail, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in connection with a pending bank robbery matter. During the course of the interview [redacted] advised he had heard "on the street" that DAVID STAUDT claims to have been the individual responsible for NORJAK. [redacted] advised that STAUDT claims he has buried the money in some large park in either northern California, Oregon or Washington State. [redacted] advised that STAUDT has alleged to have made numerous remarks regarding his involvement in the highjacking; however, it is his [redacted] opinion that STAUDT is only bragging.
