[REDACTED], Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company, 785 Grant Street, Eugene, Oregon, furnished the following information:
JESSE EDWIN BELL, JR., is currently employed as a switchman for Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company at the Central Office, Fourth and "A" Streets, Springfield, Oregon. BELL works from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, with weekends off. BELL was on vacation from November 22, 1971 through November 26, 1971.
BELL did not work on Saturday, November 27, or Sunday, November 28, 1971, and was on vacation on November 29, 1971.
[REDACTED] has contacted [REDACTED] and determined that [REDACTED] attempted to contact BELL on November 29, 1971, for the purpose of having him report for work. [REDACTED] telephoned BELL's residence, and talked with someone there, who indicated that BELL was in Portland and would not be back until late Monday. BELL therefore did not work on November 29, 1971.
[REDACTED] advised that he has no information to indicate that BELL has any knowledge of sky-diving or parachuting. He advised that he has contacted several people in his company who are quite familiar with BELL and they also have no knowledge to indicate that BELL has any training in parachuting or sky-diving.
[REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] reported on December 8, 1971, that Mr. BELL recently inherited between $10,000 and $15,000 from his father's estate.
