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.

Mr. Edgar Hoover F B I Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
In regard to the hi-jacked plane out of Seattle -- with the $200,000 paid to whom?
A very strange case indeed. Just a thot on the part of an outsider is following. Why could this not have been a job by part of the crew[illegible] Who saw the man to buy ticket? who took the money bag? who asked for the ransom? The stewardess could have worked it out with a little help possibly. Why did not the trailing planes see the jumper if he left the jet as told. It may be a wea rd idea but I believe the FBI could check that angle.
From an amateur sleuth
Yours truly,
