Special Agent in Charge FBI, 915 Second Avenue Seattle, Washington

Dear Sir:

This is in reference to a picture and story in the National Enquirer this week on a man known as D.B.Cooper skyjacker. You probably receive hundreds of letters from people who saw a resemblance to someone.

Have no reason to think or suspect the man,the picture made me think of, he is not extra tall, he might be 6ft ( medium hgt) in his early fifties ( probably) in good physical condition, looks youthful, in a mature way. He was [REDACTED]

[REDACTED BLOCK - b6/b7C]

As you can see, I do not know him on a close basis, I wouldn't have known he was here [REDACTED]. Feel it unfair to name him unless you consider it important. I have no reason whatsoever to think he would be involved in any criminal action. I showed the picture to [REDACTED] and he thought it looked like [REDACTED] when he was young, ha/ha. I don't know why I am writing this, I sure don't want to cause trouble, however the thing is haunting me. Guess I am just nosy.

DB Cooper-31510 Sincerely yours, 14-71-SubR [REDACTED] b6 b7C c.c. tele: [REDACTED]
