At 12:21 A.M. a Mr. CLOSSY, Associated Press, Seattle, talked to SAC (and earlier to SA FARRELL) inquiring about a "new story" that one of the chutes given the unsub"would not even open, even if he tried." CLOSSY said he got his information from EARL COSSY who packed the chutes. He said something to the effect the chute was for demonstration on land only and not for bailing out.
The reported apparently talked to COSSY late afternoon or night of Nov. 25, 1971. We had tried all day (up to 3:30 P.M to reach him at his home SU3-0475 or Sky Sports, Issaquah Airfield EX2-3050.
