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.

Re SA [REDACTED] FD10 dated 11/29/71.
RE: [REDACTED]
On 11/30/71, [REDACTED] San Gabriel, Cal., advised that on 8/10/71 he sold an automobile to [REDACTED], Sacramento, Cal. [REDACTED] had appeared at [REDACTED] residence in response to [REDACTED] newspaper advertisement about the car.
In their only meeting, [REDACTED] in casual conversation mentioned he is a skydiver and spent much time riding his horse b6 in the woods. [REDACTED] was accompanied by his [REDACTED] year old wife and b7C [REDACTED] year old son, names unknown to [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] read of hijacking in press and believed description similar to that of Unsub. He described [REDACTED] as WM, [REDACTED] years, 6', 170 lbs., dark eyes, full head of bushy black nat[guess: urally] curly hair, olive complexion, who stated he did not smoke when [REDACTED] offered him a cigarette.
Composite drawing of Unsub shown to [REDACTED] who stated b6 there was only very slight similarity around chin and that b7C [REDACTED] hairline and hair style completely different from Unsub. [REDACTED] strongly urged [REDACTED] be located and interviewed about hijacking. Additional questioning revealed [REDACTED] paid [REDACTED] cash for car and [REDACTED] check on a Sacramento bank and that check returned marked "Acco nt closed." [REDACTED] registered letter to [REDACTED] address returned as undeliverable. [REDACTED] admitted hone [guess: that] FBI would locate [REDACTED] and furnish his address to [REDACTED] so b6 FENWICK could contact [REDACTED] about the check. b7C
---
Inasmuch as [REDACTED] stated [REDACTED] hairline and hair style completely different from Unsub, and because [REDACTED] said he did not b6 smoke, and because [REDACTED] made no identification from [guess: composite drawing], further investigation on [REDACTED] does not appear feasible. [REDACTED] b7C
