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.

GRANT: Hello.
Unknown Female: Yes.
GRANT: Yes, good morning. U. Female: Are you the man on?
GRANT: I'm the man, yes.
Female: Well, I want to talk about this hijacking bit.
GRANT: Alright.
Female: I think my husband did it.
GRANT: You think your husband did it?
Female: Um hum.
GRANT: What makes you think that he did it?
Female: Well, he departed and I will refer to him as the departed, but ah, he was a brilliant man, and had an intensive interest in hijacking. Also he was a paratrooper for the 101st Air Borne and I found out through private detectives later on he was....
GRANT: Well I suggest that you contact the FBI if you really believe that.
Female: Well, I might do it tomorrow.
GRANT: Well, don't wait, let's do it.

Female: I think he did it though, because he was a fantastic man, he wrote beautifully...(Inaudible) ...he was quite unusual.
GRANT: But why would he do such a thing as this?
Female: Why did he leave me after seven years?
GRANT: I don't know. But that, only he can answer. But why do you think he would jump out of an airplane and take $200,000.00? Did he need the money that badly?
Female: Not really, because he was the kind of a guy that didn't really care much about money but he knew what money could do.
GRANT: Is he the type of man that would do such a thing, do you know?
Female: I didn't think so.......
GRANT: Then what gives you the idea that your former husband would do that?
Female: He's not my former husband.
Female: Yeah.
GRANT: Well, your runaway, arrant husband. What makes you think that he did it?
Female: Because of his fantastic imagination.

GRANT: Well, other than having a fantastic imagination.... Female: He was a paratrooper. GRANT: And other than being a paratrooper in the 101st Air Borne. What other things would lead you to believe that he did it. Female: Because he hot away with about $35,000.00, and all legally because somebody was (inaudible). GRANT: You mean this is the type of man that would do such a thing? Female: I think he'd do it. GRANT: You mean he's bored, and you think that he's doing this because he's bored? Female: Oh, yes. GRANT: Um hum. Female: But he doesn't want it for the money really....I don't think. GRANT: I would like to find out if you contact the FBI then I would like to know a little more relevant information that would lead me to believe that he would do such a thing. Did he ever mention sky diving? Female: Never, but he was extremely interested, remember that kid went to Italy? GRANT: Um hum......
Female: He was very interested in that, I didn't think he would do it. And then he was a paratrooper, and ah..... 'cause we're all kind of interested you know. And...he said that that kid shouldn't have...... one sense and so on.
GRANT: Well, stop and repeat the whole thing and then call the FBI but they will probably want a little more relevance to the story as to why you believe he did it and what you've tole me. But don't let that stop you, call the FBI anyway.
Female: Ok, good bye.
GRANT: Good bye.
