FBI case file number for the Portland field office D.B. Cooper investigation. A person close to the suspect states it is inconceivable the suspect would jump from a plane with a parachute, as it would be incompatible with the suspect's personality. The interviewee cannot recall activities on November 24, 1971, the day of the hijacking. The interviewee furnished current employment information and an Oregon telephone number, all redacted. On July 16, 1976, agents attempted to contact the subject at his address but he was out of town. The subject called back the same day and an interview was scheduled for July 19, 1976. On July 19, 1976, the subject was interviewed by a Special Agent in Oregon. He provided background and descriptive information but could not recall his activities on 11/24/71. His personal description differs greatly from the UNSUB. The investigation is believed to eliminate the subject as a suspect, but a request will be made to the FBI Identification Division to compare his fingerprints against unidentified latent prints from the hijacked aircraft.
