Page three of an FBI teletype (case MP 164-73) regarding a subject named Mason with a Chicago address. A redacted Northwest Airlines employee in Minneapolis reported seeing Mason approximately twelve times and felt he did not strongly resemble the UNSUB artist's conception but was not dissimilar enough to eliminate. Mason was last seen approximately two years prior wearing a black cape with psychedelic design, claimed to work for a cartage company in Portland, Oregon, and was believed to have a boat referenced in a prior teletype. No photo of Mason was available in Northwest Airlines personnel files. All offices were directed to obtain a photo for witness display and to establish the suspect's location during the pertinent time period. Subject considered dangerous; case pending. FBI Vault Bates-stamp identifier for the D.B. Cooper file. FOIA/Privacy Act exemption codes (b6 – personal privacy; b7C – law enforcement personal privacy) justifying the redactions on this page.
