[REDACTED] has previously been interviewed extensively on this case and several possibilities disucssed with him. He had no suspects. It is noted that lead in this airtel is to identify a parachutist who jumps in the water because of a disabling accident and one can assume this chutist is somewhat imobile. It is believed that the hijacker in this case has full use of all of his extremities and witnesses did not tell of any physical disability. It is noted that the person they want us to identify is in a wheel chair. A man confined to a wheel chair did not hijack the plane in this case.

Standard US Government interoffice memorandum header from the Memphis field office to SAC, regarding the NORJACK case, referencing an airtel to Seattle dated 2/19/72. The FROM field is redacted. Handwritten annotations indicating FOIA exemption codes b6 and b7C (privacy and law enforcement source), a section or sub-file number, and routing initials. The Memphis office reports that a previously interviewed individual had no suspects. The memo dismisses a lead from the referenced airtel that sought to identify a parachutist who jumps into water due to a disabling accident. The Memphis office argues the hijacker had full use of all extremities, witnesses reported no physical disability, and the person to be identified is wheelchair-bound — concluding that a man confined to a wheelchair did not hijack the plane. Typist initials for the memo. Handwritten signature of the memo author, not clearly legible. FBI Seattle field office filing stamps showing the document was searched, indexed, serialized, and filed on March 20, 1972, with sub-file and case number references. Document identification number from the FBI Vault DB Cooper file.
