Dear Mr. Mattson,

May I respectfully suggest you check are Land Record offices for any paying-off of a [guess: mortgage] of say $150,000 - $200,000 [guess: in] also Banks which may have recorded the paying-off of a lien on property in the past few days.

The hijacker appears to be someone experienced in parachute work - may be an [guess: Paratroper] (W.W.2) who [guess: saw] a [guess: round] or had a debt of [guess: above].

He may have [guess: arranged] [guess: land] & [guess: brush] clearing on his [guess: acreage] or had [guess: borpins] [guess: bring] in a certain pattern to guide his down - his employees would [guess: then] [guess: notify].
