Dear [REDACTED],

Have read the accompanying article and have concluded from the facts stated in the article that DB Cooper did not jump. There are some facts that tell me this. He knew the plane had a rear stairs that would lower in flight, this indicates that he knew the plane. I contend that he walked off the plane while everyone was in the Cascade Mountains looking for him.

If he [guess: knew] about the rear stairs, he could have known about a hiding place in which to stay until later when he just walked off, a [guess: else] when the plane landed in Reno and was [guess: allowed] to turn around, he just walked down the stairs. No one was looking for him!!

Sincerely [REDACTED]
