FBI Complaint Form header identifying form type and revision date. Two dark oval shapes appear at the top of the page above the form. Their purpose is unclear; possibly fingerprint impressions or artifact from scanning. Header section of FBI FD-71 Complaint Form. Subject is D.B. Cooper Matter. The complaint was received telephonically on 7/12/89 at 8:50 am. Complainant identity and address are redacted under b6/b7C/b7D FOIA exemptions; complainant is located in California. Subject physical description section of the FD-71 form. All fields are blank — no physical description of the subject was provided by the complainant. The complainant called the FBI on 7/12/89 to report an individual from Northwest Washington who strongly resembled D.B. Cooper. The individual's name is redacted (FNU [redacted]). Details about the subject's whereabouts at the time of the hijacking, how he could be located, and additional context are all redacted under b6/b7C/b7D exemptions. The complainant emphasized a strong physical resemblance and considered the subject a person of interest. Handwritten routing or action notations made by FBI personnel. Appears to indicate the complaint was forwarded ('Re-OtA / To') with dates around 7/16/89 and 7/20/89. Exact names and units are illegible. FBI administrative processing stamps. The document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on or around July 19, 1989. The serial number in the 'do not write' box is partially illegible. Action recommended field shows 'IA' (likely meaning 'Informant/Administrative' or similar FBI internal action code). Agent identity is redacted. Block stamp at bottom right is present but illegible. Handwritten notations at bottom of page. 'SD 164-' likely refers to a case sub-file or routing identifier. 'Advise of results' is a common FBI instruction to notify the originating office of the outcome. Page/document identifier stamp indicating this is page or document 940 in the DB Cooper FBI file collection.

Significant FOIA redactions (b6, b7C, b7D) throughout the facts-of-complaint section obscure names, addresses, and identifying details
Handwritten notations in lower portion partially illegible due to cursive and ink quality
Two dark oval shapes at top appear to be fingerprint cards or ink blots — purpose unclear
Form is otherwise well-preserved and typewritten text is clearly legible
