FBI case file reference stamp identifying this document as part of the D.B. Cooper investigation. Lists multiple sub-file serial numbers under the main case number 164-41-321.
A rectangular blank box at the top-left of the page, consistent with a redacted photograph or name/address field.
A handwritten note apparently purporting to be from D.B. Cooper, asking why he is not on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list and providing a phone number and a date. The word 'PHONEY' appears to be either a misspelling of 'PHONE' or intentional wordplay. The final line is a heavily misspelled attempt at 'WEDNESDAY OCT 19, 197[1?]' with unclear trailing digits. This is consistent with a crank or hoax letter submitted to the FBI during the D.B. Cooper investigation.
FBI Vault document pagination/sequence stamp identifying this as document 1132 in the D.B. Cooper release.
FOIA exemption codes applied to a redacted vertical strip on the right side of the page. b6 exempts personal privacy information; b7c exempts law enforcement records that could constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
