AT MC MINNVILLE AND SALEM, OREGON

On January 8, 1976, [REDACTED] Sheridan, Oregon, interviewed at the McMinnville Community Hospital, McMinnville, Oregon, where she is employed [REDACTED] stated she was employed at McMinnville Community Hospital from [REDACTED] through [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] throughout that country during the period [REDACTED] through [REDACTED]. She returned to the United States and was employed at McMinnville Community Hospital from [REDACTED]. She noted during that time she had occasion to work with [REDACTED] who was employed [REDACTED]. She noted she knew him prior to her departure and for a very short period after her return, as [REDACTED] was in the process of leaving the hospital over alleged [REDACTED].

[REDACTED] described [REDACTED] as a "braggart" who told a lot of stories and, among other things, claimed to be a parachutist and ex-Green Beret. She noted he never showed her a parachute or explained how they worked. She recalled he flew his own plane and described him as an extremely intelligent person.

She added she was well aware of the rumors concerning [REDACTED] identity as possibly being that of D. B. COOPER and that these allegations began shortly after he left McMinnville Community Hospital. Further, it was determined by other staff members that [REDACTED]. She noted [REDACTED], in her mind, was capable of such an act as the Northwest hijacking, but did not believe him to be identical to D. B. COOPER. She added she was not employed at McMinnville Community Hospital, nor was she living in the area during the pertinent period of November, 1971, and therefore, could not comment on [REDACTED] activities during the weekend of November 24, 1971. However, she stated [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] might have information of value regarding [REDACTED] activities.
