According to [REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

They further advised [REDACTED] ELAINE, would talk to the FBI and furnish additional information concerning SHINN and possible whereabouts of the $36,000.00. Also, her attorney may have some knowledge as to where this money had been kept in Seattle, Washington, by SHINN.

They continued that SHINN flew to Chicago about one year ago, not on business, and ELAINE did not accompany him. They did not know if it was before or after 11/24/71.

[REDACTED] were most concerned how SHINN could accumulate $36,000.00, while raising six children. Further, he was not layed off during the recent BOEING cut-back. They had no knowledge as to his current salary at BOEING. His only known hobby is to associate with members of his cult.
