Re UNSUB; JIM W. CRITCHER - source ("Unsolved Mysteries" lead).

As a result of a broadcast of the television show "Unsolved Mysteries", JIM W. CRITCHER of Chehalis, Washington, telephone number [REDACTED] telephonically advised he suspects an attorney in the Chehalis Courthouse as being identical with UNSUB in this matter.

A review of this sub file has indicated that CRITCHER was inadvertently not contacted concerning his telephone call after the television show.

SA [REDACTED] attempted to contact Mr. CRITCHER [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in Chehalis. [REDACTED] advised that JIM W. CRITCHER died in December of 1990. She stated that Mr. CRITCHER was 73 years old at the time of his death. She advised that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Sea Tac Airport in 1971 and that is what sparked Mr. CRITCHER's interest in the D.B. COOPER hijacking.

[REDACTED] further advised that Mr. CRITCHER had no firsthand knowledge concerning this crime but was the type of person to have a lot of hunches about things. [REDACTED] stated that she could not provide any further information concerning the suspect that [REDACTED] JIM CRITCHER may have had a hunch about nor did she personally have any information concerning captioned crime.

In view of the above information, no further investigation will be conducted concerning this aspect of this case.
