[REDACTED] said Warner Brothers was not interested in [REDACTED] story and declined his offer. [REDACTED] said he knew the appropriate law enforcement agencies had thoroughly investigated the D. B. COOPER skyjacking case apparently with- out developing a suspect, and he questioned that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] could locate COOPER when the United States Government with all its resources could not do so. [REDACTED] said he was concerned that [REDACTED] claim would be fraudulent.
[REDACTED] said he also was aware that the individual known as D. B. COOPER probably would be charged with kidnaping, a capital offense, on which the statute of limitations did not run. He noted that for the above reasons, Warners rejected [REDACTED] offer.
[REDACTED] said he had no information concerning [REDACTED] He said that the best way to contact [REDACTED] if that was desireable, would be through [REDACTED]
For information.
