On 12/14/71, [redacted], California, who has been engaged in parachute sales, manufacturing, repair and alterations for about 47 years, was contacted relative to suspects and general information in connection with this matter. [redacted] has been contacted previously, primarily in connection with TGP cases in which a few parachutes, reportedly stolen, were sent to him for alterations. [redacted] is apparently well regarded in this business and from previous contacts with him, it appears that he does repair and alteration work for numerous sky divers throughout the United States.

[redacted] advised he can suggest no specific suspects, primarily due to the fact that he has very limited personal contact with his customers. He advised that most of his work is sent to him by the owner and that he returns it to the owner by mail or other commercial delivery.
