What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Dear Agent [REDACTED]
I appreciated the opportunity to talk with you recently about a man I believe is a bona fide suspect in the Cooper skyjacking case.
You asked me to provide the man's military record, a photo of him about the time of the skyjacking, and a current photo, as well as his birth date and Social Security number. All of these are enclosed with this letter.
While I'm at it, let me add two or three brief comments.
First, the record that the military provided doesn't state where our suspect was assigned, except indirectly. In fact, he served his two full years at Travis Air Force Base north of San Francisco, where he worked [REDACTED]
Second, as mentioned, our suspect is a [REDACTED] This caused us to have doubts for some time. To put it simply, we didn't think a [REDACTED] would commit crimes, at least major crimes unrelated to his profession. But we had good reason to suspect him in a number of cases, so we contacted [REDACTED] who once worked in the FBI's profiling unit at Quantico, [REDACTED] assured us, on the basis of his knowledge and experience, that it was perfectly possible for a successful professional to also commit major crimes. A sociopathic criminal, he said, can be quite functional and successful in normal life, and can seem very straight and normal to those who know him.
Finally, I just want to add that any inquiry into our suspect should be done carefully, so that nothing gets back to him. We regard him as a potentially dangerous individual and [REDACTED] would be at risk if he should learn that he was being investigated.
Again, thank you for your consideration. I look forward to talking with you again.
Sincerely, [REDACTED]
