FBI 164-81, Vault Part 25 pp. 211–212 (DB Cooper-8194–8195), Letter, serial SE 164-81-3298 (as read from the transcript) — cooper.theunsolved.net/documents/Cooper-Part-25%3A211-212

I know a man who looks very much like the first composite drawing of the plane hijacker "Cooper" appearing in the paper last fall.

He quit his job in Puget Sound Navy Yard about this time, bought a new Datsun station wagon. He pays support money to two ex-wives for four children and is living with another woman.

He is a sky diver and has chutes of his own. Am told he recently had contact with some underworld characters in California, is talking of moving to Fiji to live.

More recent, he started a bike business in the University District somewhere with a business promotion of some sort which keeps him in touch with the underworld, I am told.

This young man is light complected. The woman he lives with is a beautician and could very easily dye and bleach his hair in a short while. He lives in a house owned by a [REDACTED] who lives nearby on Long Lake out of Port Orchard, Wash.

His name is [REDACTED] The woman he lives with is [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] is supposed to be financing a movie business in California and other deals.

Would someone take this money off his hands and keep it for a while for a good part of it? Otherwise where does he get all this prosperity?

He also has a partner in this business, whose name I do not know. But had nothing to begin with either, so the story goes.
