The following investigation was conducted by SA [REDACTED] at Seattle, Washington (WA) on July 20, 2004:

FNU [REDACTED] (phonetic) telephoned the FBI switchboard in Seattle on July 20, 2004. He refused to identify himself beyond telling the interviewing agent that his name is [REDACTED] and that he is [REDACTED] years old. (Based on his voice he is probably a white male.) He lives in Eugene, Oregon (OR) and his parents recently passed away. [REDACTED] is unemployed and needs money as soon as possible. He is staying with friends, but is a burden on them because their house is already full with children and grandchildren.

He seeks a reward for his knowledge about D.B. COOPER'S (COOPER) landing site. He will provide additional information if the FBI will pay him. He will also show the FBI the location of the parachute if the FBI will pay for him to travel to Portland, OR. [REDACTED] already shopped his story, with negative results, to the NATIONAL INQUIRER and other tabloid publications.

---

[REDACTED] claimed to know where COOPER landed, via parachute, after COOPER jumped from the hijacked plane. [REDACTED] drove to a job site in COUGAR, WA with friends about a week after the hijacking. A friend in the truck said he saw a parachute in a pond. [REDACTED] returned to the site after work and alone. He saw a parachute sinking into the pond.

The site is a pond close to Interstate 5, just across the Columbia River. The pond is at the end of a private runway. [REDACTED] believes COOPER planned to make his escape using the runway. [REDACTED] returned to the pond two weeks ago and did not see any remnants from the hijacking. He believes clues, including a parachute, money and possibly bones can be found in the pond by FBI divers.

---

[REDACTED] does not know the date or even year of the hijacking. He also does not know the amount of money taken or the location of the plane when COOPER jumped.
