Top-of-page graphical marks that appear to be either a large redaction/obscuring mark and two smaller circular redactions, or physical artifacts (e.g., punch holes) from the original document. FBI Las Vegas field office airtel to the Director (NORJAK case, office of origin Seattle) reporting that SA Norman M. Stone interviewed a Reno, Nevada resident who denied knowing anyone actually named D.B. Cooper, but described an acquaintance nicknamed "D.B. Cooper" due to his scruffy/"scroungy" appearance; the acquaintance is described as a Reno-raised Wooster High School graduate, about 5'9" with long black hair and a beard who wears glasses, does not resemble the composite sketch of the hijacker, reportedly does not work, was last known to be in Berkeley, California, and may have a prior arrest record with the Reno Police Department.
