Re: JAMES CROAK Sub 829

Re Denver letter to Seattle, 9/2/77.

Investigation concerning CROAK failed to establish any reason to suspect CROAK as a suspect in this matter. His description does not match that of UNSUB and his complexion is not swarthy as has been described by various witnesses in this matter. Due to this fact, no further investigation will be conducted concerning CROAK at this time..

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

Standard FBI memorandum header identifying the memo as routed from an SA in Seattle to the SAC, Seattle, dated 10/11/77, regarding the NORJAK case (Bufile 164-2111) and specifically subject James Croak (Sub 829). Memo body states that investigation into James Croak found no reason to suspect him as the NORJAK unknown subject (UNSUB), citing mismatched physical description (complexion not swarthy as witnesses described), and closes further investigation into Croak at this time. Includes a standing 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS' case warning line. Handwritten annotation, apparently noting that Croak has been eliminated as a suspect, consistent with the typed body text above it. FBI Seattle field office routing/receipt stamp with handwritten file number and date stamp of OCT 11 1977, plus handwritten case reference 'Sub 829' and number '164-81-7683'. Standard government form footer with typist initials (RNN/tcs), a Minuteman statue logo promoting U.S. Savings Bonds, and the case collection stamp 'DB COOPER-55119' identifying this as part of the FBI Vault D.B. Cooper file collection.

Typed memo text is clear and fully legible.
Handwritten annotations (e.g., near bottom center, and case number over stamp) are cursive and partially difficult to read with certainty.
FROM field name is blank/redacted on the visible document with b6/b7c exemption codes noted in margin.
