[REDACTED], Kirkland, Wa. (telephone [REDACTED]), telephonically contacted me and advised that he [REDACTED] Globe Insurance Company, which has the insurance policy for Northwest Airlines in this matter. He said he has been working on the possibility that UNSUB may have landed in Lake Merwin as he has, through use of [REDACTED] [REDACTED], located what he thinks is a body in 100-150 feet of water. He says he has been work- ing on this theory and has searched a number of areas of Lake Merwin, and wanted specific information as to the possible landing area.

I informed him that insofar as I could recall, the entire matter of exactly where he landed is conjecture due to a number of variables, i.e., wind on the night in question; size of chute; weight of the individual; period of time before UNSUB released parachute, etc.

This matter was referred to SA [REDACTED] in an attempt to resolve any of the questions which [REDACTED] may have.
