RE: HAROLD MOODY CROSBY SUB 849

Re memo of SA [redacted] dated 10/28/76; memo of SA [redacted] dated 11/11/76; memo of SC LINDA ANN LEWIS dated 12/6/76; memo of SA [redacted] dated 12/7/76.

Investigation at Seattle was indicated that CROSBY does not appear to match the profile of the UNSUB in this matter. CROSBY is only 5'9" tall and weighs 145 pounds and has blue eyes and must wear corrective lenses. CROSBY is also an alcoholic with grey hair.

Although CROSBY does not seem to be that good of a suspect in this matter, the following lead is being set out to determine what his associates at Black-Clawson in Everett, Washington, have to say about him in connection with this matter.

LEADS:

SEATTLE DIVISION

At Everett, Washington

Will contact Black-Clawson and display artist's composite of UNSUB and determine from associates of CROSBY if they believe he is a good suspect in this matter. Note CROSBY worked as a machinist for Black-Clawson in the past.

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.

Standard U.S. Government memorandum header identifying the routing, sender, date, and subject (NORJAK case, Seattle field office file 164-2111). Two solid black circular marks near the top of the page; purpose unclear (could be redaction dots, hole-punch artifacts, or stamp bleed-through). Identifies the subject of the memo, Harold Moody Crosby (SUB 849), and references four prior memos from Seattle agents/supervisor dated between October and December 1976. Investigation determined that Harold Moody Crosby does not physically match the unknown subject (UNSUB) profile in the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case, but a lead is being opened to interview his associates at Black-Clawson in Everett, Washington. Investigative lead instructing the Seattle Division to contact Black-Clawson in Everett, Washington, show the artist's composite of the UNSUB to Crosby's former associates, and gauge whether they consider him a viable suspect; notes Crosby previously worked there as a machinist. Ends with the standard 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS' case designation. Administrative routing information including typist initials (RNN:arm), a handwritten case/file number (164-81-7338), the 'Sub 849' notation, and an FBI Seattle office routing stamp dated around late January 1977 with checkboxes for searched/indexed/serialized/filed. Small printed graphic of a Revolutionary War minuteman/eagle statue figure, a standard government form decoration, with form number 5010-110 beneath it. Standard government form footer promoting payroll savings bonds, alongside the FBI Vault archival page identifier 'DB COOPER-55361'.

Typed memorandum text is clearly legible.
Some handwritten annotations are faint or stylized and only partially legible.
Two black circular redaction/marker dots appear near the top of the page with no accompanying text.
Date on the routing stamp is partially obscured (reads approximately 'JAN 2_ 1977').
