On 12/14/71, [REDACTED], California, who
has been engaged in parachute sales, manufacturing, repair
and alterations for about 47 years, was contacted relative
to suspects and general information in connection with this
matter. [REDACTED] has been contacted previously, primarily
in connection with TGP cases in which a few parachutes,
reportedly stolen, were sent to him for alterations. [REDACTED]
is apparently well regarded in this business and from
previous contacts with him, it appears that he does repair
and alteration work for numerous sky divers throughout the
United States.
[REDACTED] advised he can suggest no specific
suspects, primarily due to the fact that he has very
limited personal contact with his customers. He advised
that most of his work is sent to him by the owner and that
he returns it to the owner by mail or other commercial
delivery.
