According to [REDACTED] this woman desires to remain anonymous but that she has assisted [REDACTED] in locating other individuals over a period of the last few months. He attributes the location of a missing person to her psychic powers. She was interviewed concerning captioned matter and the inter- view was recorded on tape.

Mobile has reviewed this tape and she states that she feels vibrations indicating that the subject is hanging in the top of a large tree of the pine family. The tree is located on top of a mountain, possibly called Green Mountain, located near a community called Bates, which she spells. In the valley is a small stream which flows in a south- easterly direction into a larger stream or river. Subject and his confederates, who were apparently waiting to meet him, had anticipated using a boat to follow the smaller stream into the larger one. Subject's body is completely decomposed and entangled in strings and wires. He lived three or four days after his hijacking and eventually died of a heart attack.
