On 8/8/73, [REDACTED] Kent, Washington, phone number [REDACTED] telephonically requested that a parachute, formerly his possession and currently being retained as evidence in this matter, be returned to him. [REDACTED] stated he made available two para chutes to Northwest Orient Airlines, in order that they could provide those parachutes to UNSUB. [REDACTED] further advised he was subsequently paid for the two parachutes and at the present time, requested the one parachute that UNSUB did not use, be returned to him for which he would be happy to reimburse Northwest Orient Airlines.

On 8/28/73, [REDACTED] was advised by the writer that the parachute, currently being retained as evidence, would not be returned to him as this case is unsolved and the parachute in question may become an important part of the evidence in this matter. [REDACTED] was further advised that when, and if, this case is brought to a logical conclusion, he can possibly recontact this office and attempt to get his parachute back.

[REDACTED] advised on 8/28/73, that the two parachutes that he loaned UNSUB had no hooks on which to fasten a chest pack or auxiliary chute. [REDACTED] stated that an experienced parachutist would be able to fashion ties to the "back pack" which would allow the auxiliary chute to be fastened to the "back pack" and thereby utilized in emergency.
