Synopsis: Lead for interview of AMW [REDACTED] re identity of sub- ject D.B. Cooper.

Enclosures: Enclosed for Los Angeles is one copy of a summary of events concerning captioned case.

Details: On 04/13/1998, America's Most Wanted (AMW) [REDACTED] [REDACTED], telephone [REDACTED], telephonically contacted the Seattle Division. [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] AMW, [REDACTED] recently advised [REDACTED] that he has information con- cerning the identity of subject Cooper. [REDACTED] stated [REDACTED] has interviewed an individual on the [REDACTED], TX area, known as [REDACTED] [REDACTED] who, according to [REDACTED], provided significant information about the case and [REDACTED] was convinced [REDACTED] was, in fact, Cooper. According to [REDACTED] provided this information to local authorities in [REDACTED], but that information did not reach Seattle. Seattle has made several attempts to telephonically contact [REDACTED] at telephone number [REDACTED] which is his residence in [REDACTED] CA. Although [REDACTED] did return a tele- phone call on one occasion, contact has not been made to evaluate this information.

For the information of Los Angeles, captioned investi- gation is still pending, inasmuch as the violation was a capital offense at the time and it is the opinion of DOJ that the statute of limitations has not expired. If, upon contact with [REDACTED], [REDACTED] is determined to be the same as [REDACTED] DOB: [REDACTED] and described as a white male, 5'10", 200 pounds, the interview should be halted and Seattle advised. [REDACTED] has been previously eliminated as a possible Norjack subject. If [REDACTED] is not this individual, then an appropriate lead should be set out for interview if this indivi- dual appears to fit the profile in the enclosed case synopsis.
