Dear Sirs;

Has the hijacker, [REDACTED] who dropped from the airplane into the wilderness of Oregon ever been captured? If not, have you checked out the fingerprints of the [REDACTED] who works as [REDACTED] for [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Calif.

The fact is, he was in the wilds of Oregon on a hunting trip at the time of the hijacking. He returned to his job a few days later. He did bring back a deer; but that would not be impossible, would it? He has been familiar with the area he hunted for many years. He also rides a motorcycle very well.

If he is not the one, your investigation could be conducted so secretly that no one there needs to know about it.

the [REDACTED] many years ago. He has old associates around him, including the subject above. There is a strong suspicion that they may be mixed up [REDACTED] at this time. The circumstances of the hijacking seemed to be too much of a coincidence to me to be ignored.
