Dear Sirs:

On December 27, 1972 our Longview paper carried a recent FBI drawing of D.B. Cooper. - skyjacker who hijacked a plane on November of 1971.

After studying the drawing carefully and reading the description I am led to believe that it may actually be a former neighbor of mine from North Dakota named [REDACTED].

During July of this past year I visited [REDACTED] b6 North Dakota. Information from [REDACTED] revealed that [REDACTED] at b7C that time was considered [REDACTED] had been residing in Fargo, North Dakota [REDACTED] On one evening - the exact date of which I am not sure [REDACTED] left the house and was last seen [REDACTED] in Fargo where he supposedly [REDACTED] stated that no-one had seen or heard anything from him since [REDACTED].

Information as I can recollect was that [REDACTED] had just recently been involved [REDACTED] and shortly before his disappearance [REDACTED] Prior to that he had worked as an b6 [REDACTED] He is about 28 years old, brown hair (receding hairline) and b7C brown eyes.- about 5'8 or 5'9'' and from the last picture I saw would judge his weight at about 170 or 180.

I hope that this information may be helpful. In the event that you should wish to contact me I can be reached by phone at [REDACTED] b6 b7C

Sincerely, [REDACTED signature]
