Gentlemen:

She does not know the whereabouts of this man, but states that he had [REDACTED] the Seattle Police b6 Department. Also, there is a [REDACTED] who resides somewhere in b7C Grays Harbor who might have knowledge of his location.

We recognize this is extremely slim, but we never thought you would find the money either. b6 b7C Sincerely,
