Dear Mr. Baker:
The writer, retired Sp.Agt [REDACTED] was assigned to Portland Div. 1944-47, serving as an RA at Medford & Klamath Falls in 1946-47.
The following is submitted concerning a subject of a case the writer came in contact with in Oregon in late 1945 who could have some of the physical appearance of drawings of captioned UNSUB as well as mentality and guts to pull such an act. This is submitted from past recollection-as I realize -most remote possibility.
One, [REDACTED] in 1945 [REDACTED] in which Portland was origin. At the time he was in his 20's. He had been [REDACTED] Oregon in [REDACTED] Washington, as I recall. He was
[REDACTED] at Seattle, Washington, [REDACTED] relative to [REDACTED] in that State. Investigation revealed
[REDACTED]
During interview with [REDACTED] in late 1945 at the [REDACTED] Portland, Oregon, he [REDACTED]
[REDACTED]
During examination of personal possessions of [REDACTED] which were recovered by the Oregon State Police, it was noted he had a pilot's log book-indicating airtime flights in Dallas, Texas area. The Bureau on review of the [REDACTED]

I do recall that [REDACTED] Washington and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Portland, Oregon, had inquired [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in the State of Washington, but could only [REDACTED] if he were taken to the area. This was never done in view of his
He may have been too old as of Nov. 1971 to be matched with Unsub, D.B. Cooper, but inview of his, [REDACTED] familiarity with the States of Washington and Oregon, experience with smaller airplanes [REDACTED] I thought he might be of interest.
Perhaps the Army may have a photo of [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in Portland, taken some years ago, of course, or [REDACTED] or Army record might indicate where he was in Nov, 1971 for elimination, if considered feasible or worthwhile for such.
