Dear [REDACTED],

In reference to your letter dated February 29, 2000 concerning Robert Rackstraw, I am sorry to tell you that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can't assist you with what you are looking for. While arrest records are usually considered open records, the FBI can only supply an arrest record about a living person to another person if the person whose record is being sought signs a waiver giving up his privacy rights.

As for the issue of Mr. Rackstraw passing himself off as an attorney, you may want to contact California law enforcement authorities. Most states have laws making it illegal to practice law without a license.

For your information, I will pass your letter on to those investigating the D.B. Cooper case.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Mandigo Special Agent in Charge
