The following investigation was conducted by SA [REDACTED] and SA [REDACTED] on July 11, 1980:
AT BUTTE, MONTANA
[REDACTED] ad- vised that he recalls a few months ago when he was watching television when a composite photograph of the individual known as D. B. COOPER appeared on the screen. He recalled at the time that the picture "jumped out", and he said to his children at the time [REDACTED] advised that at the time there was little doubt in his mind that the photograph appeared to be [REDACTED]

A composite photograph of D. B. COOPER was shown to [REDACTED] and he advised that that photograph did not give him the same impression that the photograph on tele- vision had, although the composite photograph does have the same general facial characteristics as [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was also shown a photograph of [REDACTED] which had been taken on April 28, 1978, and [REDACTED] stated that is definitely [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] stated that he had worked in several places with [REDACTED] such as New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, but he recalls that in each instance [REDACTED] did not last very long. [REDACTED] described [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and therefore did not last very long on any one job.

Based on a comparison of the photograph of [REDACTED] and the composite photograph of D. B. COOPER, [REDACTED] could not see that much similarity; however, he reiterated that when he saw the composite on television, his immediate impression was that the composite photograph was in fact [REDACTED] which is the name that [REDACTED] utilized.

[REDACTED] advised that in a week or two he plans to take a trip to New Mexico and other areas where he has previously worked. He advised that while making this trip he would make some inquiries with old friends as he meets them to see if anyone knows of the location of [REDACTED] and if he determines the loca- tion, he will advise the FBI.
