Due to the vast discrepancy between the description supplied for [REDACTED] and the NORJAK Unsub, a new bank robbery suspects program case was opened in the Portland Division and investigation initiated in that regard.

On 4/18/72, [REDACTED] was contacted at [REDACTED] by SA [REDACTED] At this time [REDACTED] supplied an identical description of [REDACTED] as set forth above. She again advised that [REDACTED] was definitely no more than 5'4" in height and weighed approximately 125 pounds. She advised that [REDACTED] comment to her that he had been a paratrooper while in the Armed Forces from 1945 to 1947, made her suspect that he could possibly have been the NORJAK Unsub.

After advising of the above, [REDACTED] was displayed an artist's sketch of the NORJAK Unsub. She advised that [REDACTED] facial characteristics are similar, however, [REDACTED] could not possibly be identical with DAN COOPER due to the extreme difference in height and weight.

Due to the above, unless advised to the contrary by the Bureau, no further investigation will be conducted regarding [REDACTED] as the NORJAK Unsub. However, investigation will continue in the Portland Division concerning [REDACTED] under the bank robbery suspects program.
