Page header indicating this is page two of a teletype under Salt Lake City file number 164-63. Continuation of a teletype describing postcards received as leads in the D.B. Cooper hijacking investigation. Card number three bore a photograph of Deming, New Mexico with an illegible postmark. Card number four was previously reported from Kingman, Arizona, postmarked November 27, 1971. None of the cards had return addresses or furnished information about the suspect's ultimate destination. Based on a physical description (white male, 6'1" or 6'2", over 200 pounds) and the fact that postcards were dated in Texas and Mexico one day prior to the hijacking, no further investigation of this suspect was being conducted by the Salt Lake City office. The message is flagged ARMED AND DANGEROUS. FOIA exemption codes indicating redactions were made to protect personal privacy (b6) and confidential source information (b7C). FBI Vault pagination stamp for the D.B. Cooper file, page 5091.
