FBI teletype header block showing transmission date of December 2, 1971, transmission type PLAINTEXT via FAX/TELETYPE at NITEL priority. Routing header: teletype sent from Omaha (file 149-179) to Seattle. Subject is the DB Cooper case — unsub hijacking of Northwest Airlines 727 on November 24, last. Suspect name redacted. OO (Office of Origin) is Seattle. A redacted individual in Nebraska telephonically advised the Omaha FBI office on December 2, 1971, that another redacted individual (phonetic name given) from Washington had discussed the captioned hijacking among mutual friends.

Omaha instructs Seattle to consider the redacted subject as a possible suspect if not already done.
