The following investigation was conducted by SA [REDACTED]
On April 4, 1972, writer of this memo received a telephone call from Undersheriff THOMAS MC DOWELL, Clark County Sheriff's Office, Vancouver, Washington, at which time MC DOWELL advised that an unidentified person was in his office and that the person wanted to provide informa- tion to the FBI regarding NORJAK. The unidentified indi- vidual then telephonically advised that he had located a small parachute hanging in a pine tree near LaCenter, Washington, and further that he would be available at 4 p.m. on April 5, 1972, to point out the parachute's current location.

On April 5, 1972, [REDACTED] b6 [REDACTED] Washington, identified himself [REDACTED] b7C [REDACTED] to the writer on April 4, 1972, after which he stated that he did not want his identity disclosed. He then voluntarily traveled with the inter- viewing agent to the intersection of County Road #39 and Flaeger Road, Clark County, Washington, where he pointed out the location of a small white parachute hanging in a pine tree. He then accompanied the interviewing agent to the pine tree, where a parachute, white in color, approximately four feet in diameter, was observed hanging in a pine tree. The parachute was wrapped around the upper limbs of a pine tree and it was about 40 feet from the ground. There were no limbs on the pine tree for the first 20 feet, therefore, no attempt was made to climb the pine tree and recover the parachute at this time. [REDACTED] further advised that he located the para- chute sometime during the latter part of October 1971, while [REDACTED] in the general area and further, that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] had advised him that he knew who the parachute belonged to. [REDACTED] stated that he could not re- call the name of the man that owned the parachute, but that [guess: hub] 393 [REDACTED] would probably remember the name.
