Parachute [guess: tales] near [guess: Reno], Nevada

---

At 6:15 PM, 4/8/72, SA [REDACTED] Las Vegas FBI, advised by telephone that a Deputy Sheriff near Reno, Ne- vada, had found a parachute on the outskirts of Reno and had advised the SRA there of his find. The parachute is described as follows:

White in color, manufactured by Irving Airchute Co., Inc., serial [REDACTED] canopy assembly [REDACTED] order [REDACTED]

On request of SA CHARLES FARRELL, SA [REDACTED] was di- rected to Seattle report of SA FARRELL dated 2/16/72, page 312, of which Las Vegas had a copy. SA FARRELL stated that these parachutes described in the report were of the same type as those two that are still missing, manufactured by Pioneer Parachute Company.

After reviewing report, SA [REDACTED] advised that although the parachutes did not seem to be similar to the ones described therein, he would send a nitel next week with more details on their parachute, since the parachute was still in the hands of the Deputy Sheriff.

SAC advised.
