[REDACTED] advised that in approximately 1975, LARRY QUANDT'S father told LARRY that he, LARRY, had a half sister and that her name was DINELDA, and that the mother of DINELDA was the father's girlfriend, DORIS.

[REDACTED] advised that DINELDA died in a car accident and that she was approximately 16 years old.

[REDACTED] advised that she also recalled that [REDACTED] LARRY QUANDT, was very interested in the D.B. COOPER case. [REDACTED] explained that in the early 70's an individual who only identified himself using the name D.B. COOPER hijacked an airliner in Oregon.
