RE: D.B. COOPER

Dear Duty Agent;

I am sending this letter at the request of the Duty Agent of April 27th. I have mixed feelings about providing this information since I am not certain that it is totally reli- able. I also believe that the statute of limitations may have run out on this case.

In November I saw a composite drawing of D.B. Cooper on TV. At that time I was certain that it was someone I knew. I later talked with the individual and learned that he had been [REDACTED] Western Airlines. I also learned that he was (is ?) a sky diver. He changed careers after being [REDACTED]. He left the country and went to [REDACTED] working in various locations in the US including Alaska.

In January I took his photograph which is enclosed. Perhaps you can check it against your drawings. After this length of time I am no longer certain that the picture I saw on TV does in fact resemble the photo.

One other, very subjective, thing. Although he has been nothing but civil and friendly with me I have observed that he has a mean disposition with little provocation.

If you feel there is any merit in pursuing this information I will then provide you with a name and possible location of this individual.

A few words about myself. My husband and I are retired. I was [REDACTED] [REDACTED] We left San Diego five years ago [REDACTED]. We ended up in Mexico where we built a home. We have family in the US where we will return one day: our Mexico stay is just a phase.
