SUSPECT: (NFN) MC KINNIS

On 4/2/73, Mr. HARRY NAGAMATSU, Salesman, Florsheim Shoe Company, 5th Avenue, Seattle, advised that during the morning of 4/2/73, he was waiting on a customer who said his name was D.B. COOPER.

NAGAMATSU explained that while he was waiting on the customer, who was purchasing shoes, the cost of the shoes arose during which the customer said that money was no problem that he used to work for Northwest Airlines and his name was D.B. COOPER.

NAGAMATSU said the customer did have quite a roll of $20 bills and used one to buy a pair of shoes.

During a rather lengthy conversation, the man gave his name as MC KINNIS, residing at 412 Minor, Seattle, Washington, which is operated by a Mrs. YOSHIDA.

NAGAMATSU said MC KINNIS, whose first name was not given, said one of the reasons D.B. COOPER was successful was because of his politeness during the hijacking and said a person can do anything if he has a mind.

NAGAMATSU said it weird the fact that the man said he was "D.B. COOPER" and in commenting about making such an open statement, the man said people don't believe you when you tell them you are D.B. COOPER anyway.

NAGAMATSU described the customer as follows:

Name: (NFN) MC KINNIS Address: 412 Minor, Seattle Sub 630 Race: White Sex: Male /6 4/-8/- 4573 Age: About 50 Height: 5'9"-5'10" Weight: 150 lbs.
