FBI C/O Duty Officer 1110 Third Avenue Seattle, Washington 98101

REF: My phone conversation with Seattle area duty officer (1-206-262-2000) and fax of Timeline transmitted same day.

ATTN: My total data package -- mostly from the internet.

Agent in charge,

The D.B. Cooper skyjacking case of November 1971, to my knowledge has never been resolved. I believe that this data package, if followed up, may enable that closure. My interest in the case started when I was transferred to Seattle in June of 1972 and the D.B. Cooper sensation was still very much in the news. In addition, the story of the Falcon and the Snowman was released a short time later and I was employed in an environment similar to that of the story. I did not relate the stories at that time.

When I saw the pictuure (attached) in our local paper of [REDACTED] it rang a very loud bell in my memory. He was D.B. Cooper as shown in the composit drawing of 1972. I then started the timeline relating [REDACTED] and Cooper and became more and more convinced that these names were very posibily the same man.

Some questions I have not been able to answer from the internet are: o Did [REDACTED] do any sport parashute jumping in highschool or shortly thereafter? o Where was his friend [REDACTED] in '71 and '72 --They had always worked together.

[REDACTED] was paroled form federal prison in [REDACTED] I have no data on him since that time. I believe that if this data turns out to be true, [REDACTED] and maybe [REDACTED] will disapear during parole along with any money remaining from thier skyjacking and espionage activities. [REDACTED] started taking flying lessons during the 18 months after [REDACTED]

I would greatly appreciate knowing the results of your review of this package and , of course, any reward offered for identifying D.B. Cooper.

Sincerely, [REDACTED signature]
