Enclosed to Seattle are four photographs of JON WILLIAM CLAYTON.
On 2/7/75, Ms. NANCY MORENO, 9909 Wheeling, Kansas City, Missouri, an executive officer of Goodwill Industries, was brought to the Kansas City Office by Sergeant [redacted] [redacted], Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department, where she related the following information to Sergeant [redacted] and SA JAMES V. LAUGHLIN:
On 4/21/74, she married JON WILLIAM CLAYTON who was employed by the Kansas City Star in their Solicitation Depart- ment. She met CLAYTON in September, 1973, when she interviewed him for a job as a Production Supervisor for Goodwill Indus- tries. During a party at their house in May, 1974, the con- versation led to the subject of hijackings, and someone said jokingly, "Let's hijack an airplane." Someone else then in- quired as to whether the authorities ever caught that man COOPER who jumped out of the airplane with all the money. CLAY- TON, at this point, became extremely nervous and restive, dropped completely out of the conversation, and within one week left her and his job and has not been heard from since.
Ms. MORENO described CLAYTON as follows:

Ms. MORENO further stated that CLAYTON is in posses- sion of snapshots of himself showing that in the recent past he weighed no more than 170-180 pounds. She made available the enclosed photographs of CLAYTON and stated that she had not made his disappearance and behavior known to the authorities before now because of the ultraconservative attitudes of Goodwill In- dustries who would fire her if they even knew about her divorce status.
