In addition a number of Newspaper contacts also took place.
During the contact with KOIN-TV, it was determined that the individual in question at PPB also visited KOIN-TV [REDACTED]. His statements and lack of knowledge of the crime made it readily apparent to [REDACTED] that he was not the hijacker known as D. B. COOPER. [REDACTED] identified the man from a photo taken at the PPB on 12/3/81.
Credit the SAC one TV appearance and two radio.
Credit SA [REDACTED] with 10 radio.
