Number (SSAN). They would give no information as to where he lived or worked, other than saying that he worked for the Federal Government and was a GS-12. [REDACTED] showed Agent an old photograph [REDACTED] but would not let Agent take this photograph to make copies. [REDACTED] did indicate that [REDACTED] was six feet six inches tall, and would have been in his early 20s at the time of the incident.

Despite numerous assurances of confidentiality, [REDACTED] would provide no further information regarding DAVID JAMES DUNWOODIE, unless Agent would assure them that any investigation would be conducted as they directed. They were told that they could not direct course of any subsequent investigation, at which point they continued to make various demands. At this point, the interview was terminated, and [REDACTED] were advised that if they wished for the FBI to reinterview them, they would have to be ready to provide all information pertinent to this matter.

On 1/3/92, this office received a telephone call from an unknown individual who wished to provide additional information on DAVID JAMES DUNWOODIE. [REDACTED] was described as a former paratrooper, who lived for some period of time in Spokane, Wash. DUNWOODIE was supposedly stationed overseas during the time of the D. B. COOPER incident; however, also during this time his mother or grandmother passed away, and he returned to the United States, very distraught. Since the D. B. COOPER incident, DUNWOODIE has always acted strange around the anniversary date of the incident, and would never discuss the case when anyone would ask him about it. DUNWOODIE is supposedly a GS-12 with the United States Government, with the specific job of an electrical engineer.

Name: DAVID JAMES DUNWOODIE DOB: 12/8/48 or 12/15/48 Height: Six feet four inches Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue Residence address: 3221 Edna Court Sparks, Nev. Home telephone number: 702/356-7267 Work telephone number: 702/785-6443.
