On April 18, 1972, Special Agent JAMES L. THEISEN interviewed ROBERT VAN IEPEREN, 880 Sherwood, Salt Lake City, Utah, who advised that RICHARD FLOYD MC COY, JR. likes to wear conservative solid-colored clip-on ties similar to the tie recovered after the hijacking of a Northwest plane on November 24, 1971. VAN IEPEREN stated he had been out socially with MC COY and recalled that at a movie one night MC COY wore a clip-on tie and removed the tie when he sat down to watch the movie. VAN IEPEREN was shown a photograph of the tie clasp recovered in the above described investiga- tion and he stated the clasp looks similar, but he could not say for sure if MC COY had one exactly like it. He said it is the type of tie clasp that MC COY would wear.

VAN IEPEREN's wife, MARY ANN, was interviewed separately and had similar comments to her husband's concern- ing the tie and tie clasp.

VAN IEPEREN stated MC COY made his first free-fall parachute jump in October, 1971, while on a flight with VAN IEPEREN. He stated MC COY has made numerous military-type jumps and immediately following his first free-fall jump he began practicing jumps with the Alta Parachute Club in Salt Lake City, Utah.
