SUSPECT: RAY SEARCY

On September 21, 1972, at 1:08 p.m., [REDACTED] Northwest Airlines [REDACTED] advised that he had just received a call from a man who asked about the amount of reward money offered in connection with the ransom payment in the D.B. COOPER case.

[REDACTED] said he told the caller that he would check into it and the man was to call him back within 15 minutes.

At 3 p.m. on September 21, 1972, an unidentified male telephonically called the Seattle Office and spoke with SA CHARLES E. FARRELL. The caller said he had been in touch with Northwest Airlines concerning the reward offered in connection with D.B. COOPER and had been referred to the FBI, specifically, SA CHARLES E. FARRELL.

The caller said he has been considering for the past several months, contacting the FBI concerning a suspect in the D.B. COOPER case. The caller said he saw the sketch of the artist's conception in the newspaper several months ago, which he has cut out and feels that the sketch is identical to RAY SEARCY.

The caller said that SEARCY, at one time, worked at Boeing, quitting there in perhaps 1968 or 1969 to move to Alaska in connection with the discovery of oil. He said SEARCY worked in electronics, management level, and perhaps SEARCH worked on the Boeing 727.

He advised that SEARCY currently resides at 16612 125th S.E., Renton, Washington, and is employed at Aerodyne, Renton Airport, which is in the flying business.
