Portland City or County Sheriff's Department's. Portland, Oregon.

To whom it may Concern,

I'm writing to you about the Case of 'D.B.Cooper' When the Story aired in '1971' I've been fowlling it as Long as it was told. And trying to Keep more information on it, but Lost Contact, So today the program "In Search of" aired the Story. My throy is that 'Cooper, D.B.' did not Land in the wooded area. But I believe that he Landed in 'Marvilin Lake' pulling the Shoot under- water. Making believe that he Landed in the woods, was there a Check under water for the Shoot? I have a thory 'Mr Cooper' Could've had a boat or a Ski plane waiting for him out of Sight! In my throy I come up with at least '5' five things they are as FLOWES 1' New indenty 2' New Face Lift 3' Living Some where in Canadana or Alaska, Hawaii 4' Leaf the Country or under ground. 5' Or Dead.
