Re Seattle airtel to Richmond, 8/1/73.

RE: SUSPECT ROBERT HUGHES BROYDEN

On 7/18/73, Virginia State Police Investigator [REDACTED] advised SA [REDACTED] that an informant [REDACTED] whom he wished to keep anonymous, felt that ROBERT HUGHES BROYDEN, an Engineer employed somewhere in the Fincastle, Va. area, could possibly be the subject in captioned matter. [REDACTED] was interested in receiving a photograph of the artist's conception of D. D. COOPER, the subject in this case.

[REDACTED] continually stated [REDACTED] informant's fear of compromise was great and therefore did not want the Agent to interview BROYDEN. SA [REDACTED] made a telephone call to GEORGE BONEBREAK, Latent Fingerprint Section of the Identification Division, and requested that the fingerprints of BROYDEN, which were on file, be compared with those latents developed in instant matter.
