What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.
FBI 164-81, Vault Part 17 pp. 94–95 (DB Cooper-4920, DB Cooper-4941), Letter — cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-17%3A094-095
Dear Editor:
To the Public:
I must ask you, Who in the hell do some of you people think you are,and what the hell do you think you're doing. I suceeded in pulling off one of the most successful, talked about crimes of today. Then some guy credits himself with the masterpiece and thanks everybody, for their cooperation an hospitality.. Well Damn·it, this is making me look very stupid. These prank letters must stop.... No one was indangered, the caper was only committed to show the un- believing world that a perfect crime was possible. ( I believe it must be perfect since the F.B.I. are still investigating in the Southern part of Wash). ;
I have notified the F.B.I. asking that they grant me Amnesty. The money will be returned.
NO HARM DONE.
Sincerely, S. W. L.
Alias,
· David Bartholomew Copperhead
