It should be noted that there is a vast discrepancy between [REDACTED] age and that of the estimated age of UNSUB, aka D. B. COOPER; however, his drivers license photograph does resemble that of the composite drawing of COOPER.

It should be further noted that by Portland airtel to Seattle dated 3/4/77 Portland advised that [REDACTED] was formerly employed with Northwest Orient Airlines [REDACTED] however, when airline employees went on strike he was furloughed and for that reason was having severe financial difficulties just prior to the hijacking incident.

LEADS:
SEATTLE DIVISION
At Seattle, Washington
Will contact appropriate officials of Northwest Orient Airlines to determine if in fact [REDACTED] was employed [REDACTED] with their airlines and whether or not he was furloughed just prior to the hijacking. Will thereafter interview airline personnel who observed UNSUB and determine if [REDACTED] is known to them. Will conduct other logical investigation to either eliminate [REDACTED] as suspect or identify him as UNSUB.
