[REDACTED], Charlottesville, Virginia, was shown four artists' composites, two black and white and two colored, depicting the individual known as D. B. Cooper who skyjacked Northwest Orient Flight Number 305 on November 24, 1971. [REDACTED] viewed the four artists' composites and stated in her judgment, the black and white artist's composite without the sunglasses looks just like [REDACTED] John Scott Maze, who died of a heart attack in November, 1974, in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the age of 59.

She noted in addition to the information she furnished to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Charlottesville, Virginia, on April 11, 1980, John Scott Maze did smoke cigarettes of the filter type but she could not recall the brand.

She also noted he was always extremely polite, even to her whom he did not care for at all.

She noted the composite she identified as looking just like John Scott Maze, looked like him without the "David Niven" type mustache he always wore.

She also recalled he always talked at a low modulation as he had an adversity towards loud noise. She added, she talks loud and that was one of the things Maze did not like about her.

[REDACTED] advised she has papers and photographs stored away and if she locates anything which would be of further value to the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning Maze, she will contact the interviewing Agent and furnish it to him.

In conclusion she stated in her judgment, the composite picture she identified is a picture of John Scott Maze, and Maze's complexion was even more tan than the complexion depicted in the colored composites when she last saw Maze in person in 1972.
