To whom it may concern: Everytime I read something about D. B. Cooper the first Air Plane Hijacker, most especially when I see the composite picture of him, a name comes to my mind that fits that picture.

It was in the early nineteen-sixties when I first met this man. I did not know him very long. He said he was [redacted] years old at that time. He was supposed to [redacted] He also was a pilot. I did not see him do any of these things. He had connections in Nevada. I do know the name of a bar he and a partner were supposed to own. I remember the first name of the partner. I know the town where he said he rented a plane to fly to Nevada.

The reason that I haven't said anything about this before is, I called the Bar but no one had heard of him. I made a person to person call. I have always felt the name he gave me was not his real one. I also feel kinda foolish, but, I cannot shake this feeling that I know this man everytime I see his face.

He seemed to have money. Quite a lot of it.

This was a smart and intelligent man but, I did have the feeling, somethin wasn't exactly kosher with him.

If you feel I may be of any help, I will gladly tell you what I know.
