On 7/13/76, [REDACTED], Alexandria, Louisiana, telephone [REDACTED] who advised he is employed at Pineville-Kraft, Pineville, Louisiana, telephone 318/445-8241, furnished the following information to SA JOHN A. PFEIFER:
In 1971, when the artist conception was published of the unknown subject using the name D. B. COOPER in captioned sky-jacking, he had been struck by a strong resem- blance the subject had with a classmate of his at Officer Candidate School, Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1951. He identified this fellow officer as JERRY S. EDWARDS, a white male, age 46-49 years, who, according to notes he has on the officer candidate class, lived in 1951 at Post Office Box 45, North Fairfield, Ohio. He knows that EDWARDS definitely graduated with the class in 1951, was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U. S. Army, and may have attended paratrooper school following graduation. [REDACTED] did attend paratrooper school at that time, but has no notes or independent personal recollection that EDWARDS also attended paratrooper school. He was not a close friend of EDWARDS and had no other word, that he can recall, about his later activities. He has no notes showing EDWARDS' serial number or other identifying information.
