[REDACTED] advised that there was no truth to the rumor that [REDACTED] is D. B. COOPER's son. He explained that this was just a joke and that people liked to think that they know something or someone famous. [REDACTED] reiterated that there was absolutely no truth at all to the rumor that [REDACTED] was in any way related to UNSUB in this matter.

---

UNSUB, when he hijacked the NORTHWEST AIRLINES airplane, used the name DAN COOPER to purchase his airplane ticket. It is unlikely that someone would hijack an airplane and use his real surname as the name under which he buys the ticket. In view of this fact and in view of the fact that [REDACTED] now states that this was merely a joke on his part, no further investigation will be conducted concerning this aspect of the case.
