Dear Friends: I promised I wouldn't drop you any more letters in regard to the missing plane hijacker for the $200,000. but I weakened again this morning-Wed. the 8th of December. I don't suppose you mind either if I can supply information that might help you. I guess I have written about seven letters in all and most of them are supposition, but still I am a spiritual man in a way and words that have kept coming thru me may be helpful in the case. If you put all the words together side by side they sure make sense and fit together some way like a cross word puzzle. I think you will find this true in the end. The trouble with me is I am impulsive and try to work too hard on a case and might get things all balled up in my own mind. I relaxed monday and tuesday and was going to forget the case, but tuesday nite, that was last nite I was thinking again of the case and decided to put the parts together again or try to fit in the pieces. It was good for me to relax from the case, because I contacted my guardian angel yesterday and I haven't been contacting her of late and she is very seldom wrong. I remember she contacted me at the first of the case and said' he never made it 'he never made it. That would mean he is dead someplace in a field. I heard the world field. I was thinking last nite if I were the man and noticed that it was getting cold in the plane. I would probably get ready to get out in a hurry. I would look at my money in the sack and go over and open up a parachute and get a rope or piece of clothe and tie it up tight and then strap a parachute on my back and probably tie another one on the front of me and get the heck out of there holding the bag in one hand with my brief case inside the bag. The spirit also gave me another word last nite--it said he connected-this means perhaps that he tied two parachutes together somehow. They might have become entangles and he plummeted down to earth and died. The strange things is why hasnt he been found. I think the flying time for him was between 12 minutes and 55 minutes. Somewhere in the lapse of time. I don't know the exact glidepath of the plane, so I am hampered in that respect, but somewhere in that lapse of time and space you will probably find your man and I believe you will find him dead, because I actually believe he was a dumbell and not too smart. If he was smart he would have dressed warmer and then too, he would have had pals working with him on the ground. My latest belief then, is that he was a dumbell and is dead. The spirit gave me a word last nite and it was 'settlers' I heard the word before the monday after the caper. I was trying to figure what it meant and the nearest I can figure it refers to a settlement , a wagon train, or emmigrant train. There is the words -Lewis and Clark on the map near Marys Corner, Wash It might mean the particular area where he fell was covered by early settlers. The word farmer came thru me and of course, connected, and then those other words such as ford which could mean a Ford car or it in this case could mean to ford a river. the word union could mean two rivers and the word ferry could mean ferry accross the river. I actually believe now that He came down between two rivers. The Deschutes and Skookumchuch and of course the Nisqually rivers look important to me. Probably between the Deschutes and [guess: Skookumchuck] rivers would be the place he came down and the word uni[illegible] [illegible] two rivers and the word ford meant he had to ford them. If [illegible] [illegible] live and made it then he forded a river and the word fa[illegible] mean near a gathering place such as a historical monument or [illegible] It could have been on the Lewis and Clark trail. My idea now, however, is that it was near Vall, Washington. A pinpoint on the mape here would be a good idea.

As I said before, I cont[guess: act]ed my guardian angel yesterday and as I was concentrating on the subject she said' 'le didn't stay in ther long' I think this is a good lead- He wasn't very long in that cold plane. I used to work in a small town called Grand Coulee in [REDACTED]. b6 There was a drug store that I used to go to for a malt or ice cream back b7C in those days and the name of it was Vig and Vals. That is why I said Vall, Washington might be a good scene of operation. My guardian angel yesterday said -have a malt. She knows I never have one any more. That night I started to look at the map and there is this town called Vail and a person could fan out in what looks like some pretty wild country around there along those three rivers. That is where I think now that he is down. Why the helicopters have not picked up the chutes is a mystery. It might take some hiking in there to find him. The word narrow came thru me, too. Maybe a narrow neck of land or narrow ledge signifies what it means. I am beginning to discount that he ever got as far as Portland without outside help. I am beginning to believe he was a loner, altho the phrase come thru me- He had four and then broke off. That this means is a mystery to me. I noticed that four men got a[guess: wa]y at Phoenix the other day in a lite plane and left behind over a hundred thousand dollars worth of Marijuana. I think this guy was a dope alright, because the spirit has said - he was a drugger-He was a drugger. He probably drank, too and I don't think he was very bright. I think the place to search, then, is east of Vall, Wash. in an east and south or north direction along those rivers. I would be willing to bet two dollars to a donut ( to a burnside) donut that I am right. It might be that some farmer is going to find him or already has. Some dishonest person might bury him and the chutes and keep the hoard of money. In this case I would look for the money if it was marked to show up in one of those small towns like Vall, Sinnebar or salkum or Marys Corner. My preference is Vall right at the present time. The area West of Snoqualmie National Forest. This reminds me too, of the spirit. One day it said near a Federal. I didn't get the last of the Phrase and now this might be very important--Just west of Snoqualmie Nat'l. Forest between the road leading along cinebar and north to the Skookumchuch and Deschutes River. This looks hot to me now and I almost feel like doing some hiking myself and coming up ther and doing a little road work myself, but guess I won't. My idea of course is supposition, but you can't go against the words that I have and the phrases that came thru me. When you put all the words and phrases together, they make sense. I fly off on a tangent, sometimes and try to rush too fast into the enigma. Right now I could almost draw a line between huckleberry mountain and Vall and hit the jackpot in my mind's eye, however. Sincerely,
