Standard FBI memorandum header on Optional Form No. 10, from an unidentified Special Agent to SAC Seattle, regarding the NORJAK/D.B. Cooper hijacking case (file 164-81). Handwritten notation 'SUSP' appears near the FROM line. An informant contacted by telephone on 11-29-71 provided information about a suspect who had business disagreements, left for a job in the industry in Southern California. The informant described the suspect as under 6 feet tall, slender build, straight dark hair, swarthy complexion, of unspecified descent, who bore a striking resemblance to the composite drawing of the hijacker, though the informant did not believe the suspect was the type for this kind of crime. On 11-29-71, a telephone directory check was conducted to verify the listed name and address in Seattle. The paragraph appears to be cut off or continues on the next page.
