further advised that BROWN has contacted members of her family concerning her former husband's prior life and the possibility that he might have been D. B. COOPER. She stated that there is no truth whatsoever to BROWN's allegations or inferences.

Mrs. COFFELT advised that her former husband was born in Carthage, Missouri, and that he died in June, 1975, at the age of 58 in Honolulu, Hawaii. She described him as being approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and 185 pounds at the time of his death. She stated he had brown hair and blue-gray eyes and wore glasses. She further advised that he had no previous military experience, to the best of her knowledge. She further advised that immediately prior to 1961 JACK BRYANT COFFELT had attended the University of Kansas, however, he had never graduated.

Mrs. COFFELT provided a black and white photograph of her husband for comparison to the FBI's artist conception of D. B. COOPER, and there appeared to be very little similarity in the two likenesses.

She advised that she is currently employed as a secretary and receptionist for [REDACTED] New York Life Insurance Company, Honolulu, Hawaii, telephone number [REDACTED].

She stated that if she could be of any assistance with regard to this matter, the FBI should contact her without reluctance.
