On 1/22/74, [REDACTED] Spokane, Washington, telephonically advised that one ROBERT DEAN CRAWFORD, who lives at the City Center Hotel in Spokane, hangs at the My Tavern and brags about being D.B. COOPER. [REDACTED] stated he believes that CRAWFORD is a heavy drinker but nevertheless he seems to have quite a bit of money. He said that CRAWFORD is about 5'6" to 5'7", 130-140 pounds, in his late 50's or early 60's wears glasses.

---

On 1/23/74, ROBERT CRAWFORD, born 1/5/13 in Sandpoint, Idaho, was interviewed at the City Center Hotel. CRAWFORD stated that he has sat in the tavern and mentioned D. B. COOPER as a joke but certainly is not identical to the UNSUB in this case. CRAWFORD stated that he is on furlough from the Veterans Administration Hospital in Medford, Oregon, and has a $253.00 a month pension. It is noted that CRAWFORD is only 5'6", 145 pounds, gray hair and wears glasses.

---

No further investigation is being conducted on CRAWFORD as he is not identical to UNSUB in this case.
