Re SA THOMAS J. MANNING memo dated 4/9/72.

On 4/10/72 the writer of this memo contacted [REDACTED] Washington, at which time she provided the following information:

[REDACTED] advised that the day after Thanksgiving, 1971, she and her husband were travelling on a forestry road near Willard, Washington, where they were looking for a Christmas tree to cut, at which time she noticed fresh tire tracks in the snow. [REDACTED] further advised that she did not know if the tire tracks in the snow tied in with the Norjak investigation, but that she thought that she should bring it to the attention of the FBI.

She further provided a Forest Service map, which revealed the location where she had seen the tire tracks in the snow. It was noted that a Forest Service road ex- tends from where [REDACTED] saw the tire tracks to the general are a of Merwin Dam, however, it was also noted that the general area where [REDACTED] saw the tire tracks was honeycombed with Forest Service roads, revealing that the vehicle that made the tire tracks could have been driven from any number of locations, including Stevenson, Washington, which is east of Willard, Washington.

Because the tire tracks in the snow that [REDACTED] observed do not appear to tie directly into the Norjak investigation, no further investigation is being conducted.
