[REDACTED] stated the cord was hanging in a fence which is in a northerly direction from the restroom facility at Saddle Dam. The cord was not tied to the fence, but it was draped around the fence as though it had been blown there. [REDACTED] explained that the cord was located approximately 800 feet from the stairway, which is located near the restroom. He also drew a map for the interviewing Agent to show where the cord had been found.
