NORJAK OO: Seattle RE: MARVIN JOHN COOPER
Enclosed for Seattle and Portland is one xerox copy each of a photo of MARVIN JOHN COOPER.
On 3/6/72, as a result of being contacted on another investigative matter, [REDACTED] Escondido, California, furnished the following information to SA DONALD R. BELMONT:
When he heard the news of captioned hijacking, and the fact that it occurred in the Oregon area and the hijacker used the name COOPER, he immediately thought of [REDACTED] MARVIN JOHN COOPER, who was last known to be in Portland, Oregon. He has no information that [REDACTED] was the hijacker, nor has he any particular reason to believe [REDACTED] could be the hijacker; however, the locality of the hijacking and the same last name, together with the fact that [REDACTED] has been treated for a "mental disturbance" in the past, caused him to wonder about the possibility.

[REDACTED] stated that after viewing the artist's sketch he does not believe the Unsub is [REDACTED] if this is a close portrayal of the Unsub. He stated, however, that it would not surprise him to learn of [REDACTED] being involved in something like this in view of his past mental disturbance and his unpredictable nature.
---
[REDACTED] stated in the event the FBI does conduct investigation concerning [REDACTED] and eliminates him as a suspect, he would appreciate it if he could be advised of [REDACTED] address. He stated he felt this would alleviate the worry [REDACTED] concerning [REDACTED] welfare.
