Re Portland teletype, 4/26/88, captioned as above.
On 5/2/88, [REDACTED] Madison Police Department (MPD) [REDACTED] Madison, Wisconsin, reviewed MPD records for MERLIN GENE COOPER and advised that COOPER was arrested on 2/6/59 for probation violation and issuing worthless checks; 6/24/60 for issuing worthless checks; and again on 2/4/61 for two counts of issuing worthless checks. At the time of his 2/4/61 arrest, COOPER listed a permanent residence address of 13718 Graystone, Norwalk, California.
[REDACTED] advised that the arrest reports for the above offenses were microfilmed and the original reports destroyed. The microfilm printer for the format in which these records were copied was now broken and repair parts were no longer available. The film was therefore sent to the University of Wisconsin Media Laboratory for transfer to a more modern format. Copies of the actual reports were finally obtained on 5/19/88. A review of these reports indicates COOPER, in addition to writing worthless checks, was wanted for non-support in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. No information is contained in the records identifying any of COOPER'S relatives. COOPER did serve one year at the Wisconsin State Penitentiary at Waupun, Wisconsin.
On 5/19/88, a review of birth records at the Wisconsin Bureau of Vital Statistics, Madison, Wisconsin, determined that COOPER was born 7/8/34 to SILAS BYRON COOPER and ORPHA GRIFFIN COOPER. The COOPERS' residence was listed as Coon Valley,
