On November 7, 1972, EARL COSSEY was contacted at Leota Junior High School in Woodenville, Washington, and he was shown a parachute that was found near Reno, Nevada. This chute had been forwarded to Seattle for display to COSSEY. The chute was a military backpack type with orange canopy and orange shroud lines.

COSSEY stated this parachute is not identical with the one provided UNSUB because of the following four reasons:

1. Parachute supplied subject had a white canopy.

2. Parachute did not have required markings around the edge of the canopy.

3. Parachute shown to COSSEY had a clamp on it which was not retained to parachute and was not supplied with parachute given to UNSUB.

4. The backpack shown to COSSEY did not have a place to attach a chestpack and the one supplied UNSUB did.

COSSEY stated that he checked his records again con- cerning the serial number of the chutes supplied UNSUB and was unable to locate them. COSSEY was asked to recheck to determine if possibly the numbers were still in his possession and he stated he would do so. COSSEY further advised he would call the FBI if he located the book in which the serial number of the parachute supplied UNSUB was contained.
