AI notes

Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Numbered item 1 of the report. A subject claimed to have been in a certain location; someone told him he had been employed somewhere. A third party stated something but did not seem to notice or react to it; another statement was made that was easily discernible to the interviewer or source. Names and specific details are redacted under b6/b7C/b7D. Numbered item 2. A redacted individual indicated a connection to the Portland, Oregon area during the time of the D.B. Cooper skyjacking on November 24, 1971. In 1972, this person told another redacted individual that he had just terminated his employment. Through conversation, the reporting agent or source was never able to determine whether the subject was in a certain location on November 24, 1971. Numbered item 3. A redacted subject appeared to deliberately conceal his facial features. While employed at a redacted location, he wore a full beard. A redacted source advised that he always believed this beard was intended to hide the subject's facial features — relevant to the skyjacker suspect's physical appearance. Numbered item 4. A redacted individual was observed appearing to have a large amount of money. The subject claimed something (redacted). A redacted source advised they had in fact seen something, and further advised additional information — likely related to the ransom money from the skyjacking. Document control/Bates number stamp: DB Cooper-1045.
