Dear [redacted] I don't know why you would think it strange that [redacted] would come back to [redacted] the second-time, in-in 15 3RS [guess: years]. b7C The last time I was [guess: cold] & very quiet. I don't really know if your [guess: Obas] [guess: heard] from his brother in Baldwin Park. back in 81., or not. of course [redacted] had expressed the wish that I had [guess: bi-passed] that address, in favor of [guess: her's] in [redacted] but B.P. was closer... By the way, since you people were not entirely [guess: check] as to what act 1 was all about, you could hardly be expected to know what act's 2+3 were all about. Let me attempt now to give you [guess: an] example about legends. Shoot out at O K corral was a local event. But it built & spread back [guess: East] to become a national legend. So, as time went forward, say until November of 1971. Not many legends were forthcoming [guess: from] out west. Then it happened. A [guess: hijacker] named D. B. Cooper put [redacted] on the map & the route led as it built, to capture the imagination of not only the-last, but the entire (more)

nation, north & south as well. It also became a threath [sic] to certain individuals, unbeknown to you. So these individuals' think tank decided to destroy that legend, but how can one kill a legend?" and the answer was very simple, really. They would produce a movie. "The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper". They would let this (R) rated movie be shown in theatres, and on television at the same time?? A movie made for television showing in theatres at the same time?? Now your beginning to see something that was obviously over looked. But first the pump-up [guess: in] advertisement on T.V., in such a manner that would catch-the-eye of the viewing public. A public that was expecting a good wholesome (in their livingroom) motion picture. then the R + [guess: pron] movie was finally shown on T-V. It turned people off with some of the filthy scenes. Perhaps even the people of [guess: Ariel] themselves & thus D.B. Cooper [guess: was] built not into a legend, but ashes. Mission accomplished. (more)

Now come act-3. The straw that broke the legends back. " The name of D-B. Cooper, was errone- ously typed into the hijacker's name by a [guess: writer] reporter covering the story for the wire services." The name given was Dan Cooper. "Wasn't this P-R a masterstroke?" a name change after 8-years. "Why would they bother?" "Dan Cooper Day..." "What was so significant about the initials D-B?" That, began to scare them. I will tell you it was a profound initial, + it was D.B. Cooper, not Dan. Then I should include, act-4, There would be a few people coming to [redacted] to see if they could find D-B.'s loot, do the farmer's planted 6-grand of their [guess: $20s] & + had someone find them on a riverbank, this ruse had a double-edged effect. The fall- out was that the adventurers seeking to find this loot would know now that it was impossible. The other side was, if they could convince D-B, that they [guess: dead] in fact found some of his loot, he would check it out & they would (more)

nab him in the act. But D-B, never moved because D-B, knew it was nothing but a sting, one that backfired on the would-be stinger's. Here's how. The found loot had to be released to the finder, or so it was reported in the media's. Now lets take another look at that condition. First, if those $20, bills were identified as those-requested, by DB, and the insurance company that [guess: repaid] Northwest Orient Airlines the $200,000 — then, by law, those funds go back to the rightful owner. The insurance company. A finders-fee would be in order, under normal circumstances. Not 1/2 of what was found. Now we read where some if not all of those $20.00 bills would be worth up to $1,000 each. But that, in itself would have given the sting attempt away. Those $20, if used, were printed after November 24th 1971. Coin collectors would have uncovered that, & Pow, so these bills were kept as hard-evidence & other funds were used to pay off [guess: the] [guess: hijack] & insurance co. DB assured [guess: me] that he knew where 9,998 of the original 10,000 $20, are. "So you see [guess: Thomas], how it is..."

But D B told me that you can expect him to be in [REDACTED] come November 24, 1986, to crank up D B Day, bigger than ever before, so please [REDACTED] to make lots of Buffalo Stew. By the way, this production company [guess: Holagram], was formed for just this one motion picture & then, as [guess: suddenly], went out of the movie production business altogether...?? If you could phone them for this same information, they still have a phone, but, "that's all folks..." until November.
