Enclosed herewith for Seattle is one photo of [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] Eureka Police Department, advised on April 19, 1978, as follows:

On the evening of April 13, 1978, [REDACTED] shot and killed ROBERT COUCHMAN in front of Pete's Cave, a bar in Eureka, California. COUCHMAN was the owner of the bar. [REDACTED] was apprehended the next day and his van impounded. Search of the van revealed an envelope with a group of clippings from newspapers in North Carolina. Several of these clippings were concerning the D. B. COOPER hijacking and related information. Other clippings were about some motorcycle gang killings in the North Carolina area. [REDACTED] was concerned about the D. B. COOPER clippings as it has been a long time since the hijacking occurred and he could not understand why [REDACTED] would have saved them. He felt the FBI should have this information.
