AI notes

Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Page continuation header indicating this is page two of a multi-page teletype. A witness or source described an individual matching the UNSUB composite drawing as a white male, six feet tall, medium brown hair. The person allegedly lived at a redacted location. After viewing the composite, the source stated the drawing looked very similar to a redacted individual, with a noted exception involving an event or detail from nineteen-something (year redacted). An investigative lead directs the St. Louis field office to review daily morning reports at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri, to determine the complete name of a redacted individual. The personnel file will then be reviewed and findings forwarded to Seattle. It is recommended that morning reports from a redacted time period onward be reviewed to assist identification. An information copy of this teletype is being sent to the Charlotte field office because the subject formerly resided in a redacted location within Charlotte's territory. Teletype closing indicators: END marks end of message, DCA is likely the sending office or operator initials, FBI SE CLR indicates FBI Seattle clearance. FOIA exemption codes stamped in the right margin indicating redactions were made under exemptions b6 (personal privacy), b7C (law enforcement - personal privacy), and b7D (law enforcement - confidential source). Bates-style page identifier for the D.B. Cooper FBI Vault file.

Multiple redacted (blacked-out) sections obscure names, dates, and identifying details
Typewritten text is generally legible but some characters are slightly degraded
Right-margin FOIA exemption codes (b6, b7C, b7D) are clear
