Re: C. B. Cooper

Gentlemen:

[REDACTED] number [REDACTED] telephoned the Pierce County Sheriff's Office in Pierce County, telephone indicating th[REDACTED] long-time [REDACTED] as just the type of personality that has been de- scribed in the news; also, the [REDACTED] had received paratrooper training.

She does not know the wh[REDACTED] abouts of this man, but states that he had [REDACTED] Seattle Police Department. Also, there is a [REDACTED] who resides some[REDACTED] Grays Harbor who might have knowledge of his location.

We recognize this is extremely slim, but we never thought y[REDACTED] find the money either.

Sincerely,

LYLE SMITH SHERIFF OF PIERCE COUNTY
