On December 22, 1971, [redacted], Aberdeen, advised that she had heard that the FBI was extending its investigation into the Aberdeen area in captioned matter. She was advised that the Bureau was answering inquiries in many localities.

She reported that the evening of the hijacking, she had the television on and was listening to reports of the hijack while the plane was enroute Seattle from Portland. While listening to this report, a helicopter flying easterly went over her house a an unusally [sic] low altitude. She was unable to further identify the aircraft, but thought it may have something to do with the hijacking.

Although this, in itself is of little investigative [guess: value], the question arose that the unsub may have had an accomplice and was removed from the ground after landing by aircraft. Has the FAA and/or the suitable monitoring agency been contacted for identification of all aircraft in the pertinent area where the hijacker could have landed. It has been the writer's experience to be a passenger in a small plane south of the Columbia River near Mount [guess: Rainier] Hood and hear radio FAA Auburn report they had our plane on radar and told us exactly where we were as well as what to expect in other aircraft passing through the area.
