Memorandum

TO : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P) DATE: 1/9/74

FROM : SA CHARLES E. FARRELL [REDACTED b6/b7C]

SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE

RE: [REDACTED b6/b7C]

---

On 1/9/74, [REDACTED b6/b7C] Los Angeles Office, telephonically contacted the Seattle Division to furnish additional information concerning captioned suspect. [REDACTED b6] who was joined in the conversation through a speaker phone at Los b7C Angeles, and by SA [REDACTED] who has been handling the investigation concerning [REDACTED] said they sent to Seattle a 26-page airtel which was mailed 1/8/74, which contains a complete summary of their investigation concerning [REDACTED]

Of paramount interest to [REDACTED] is a possibility b6 that a person named [REDACTED] at Salem, Oregon, who is an b7C acquaintance of [REDACTED] could possibly be a participant with [REDACTED] if there is anything to the idea that [REDACTED] might be involved in NORJAK. He suggested that Seattle as Office of Origin, after studying the 26-page airtel, might wish to inform Portland not to make any further direct contact with [REDACTED] at this time.

In summary, [REDACTED] advised as follows: b6 b7C [REDACTED] was offered as a suspect in February, b6 1972, as a look alike for D. B. COOPER. Los Angeles investigation b7C showed that [REDACTED] was [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Although, according to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] no word has been received from him since that time, [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] and they know of his location at this time in the Los Angeles area.

Los Angeles investigation shows [REDACTED] has had operator's b6 license in several different names, and in tracking his activities b7C through oil credit cards, they find that he was in the Portland, Oregon, area on or about 11/23/71, with no activity shown for 11/24/71, but another charge again in Portland, 11/25/71. Additional [gas?] purchases were made in Vancouver, Washington, a few days later.

[REDACTED] activities are strange and suspicious and they have summarized all of their investigation in the incoming airtel, after which they invite Seattle to call and discuss the incident with [REDACTED] They feel that an interview with [REDACTED] might be in order in the near future.

It is also noted that a license photo of [REDACTED] was obtained in early 1972 and displayed to the witnesses, and he was eliminated on that basis[guess: /]that he possibly [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
