RE SEATTLE NITEL MAY THIRTY LAST.
SEARCH OF THE AREA WHERE ORIGINAL PARACHUTE REMNANT WAS
DISCOVERED BY [REDACTED] REVEALED ADDITIONAL PIECES OF PA-
RACHUTE HARNESS. ALL OF THESE REMNANTS WERE EXAMINED TODAY BY
EARL J. COSSEY, MASTER PARACHUTE RIGGER, WHO PERSONNALY MADE UP
ALL FOUR OF THE PARACHUTES FURNISHED TO THE HIJACKER IN THIS
CASE. HE STATED TTHE REMNANTS DEFINITELY ARE NOT FROM ANY OF
THE CHUTES HE PREPARED. THIS ELIMINATION IS BASED ON THE FACT
THAT THE STRAPS ARE A DIFFERENT COLOR; THAT ONE OF THE STRAPS
HAS HAD A PIECE HAND SEWN TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF THE STRAP
AND FURTHER THAT THE HARNESS IS EQUIPPED WITH A "CAPEWELL"
QUICK RELEASE DEVICE, WHICH WAS NOT ON EITHER OF THE BACK
PACKS FURNISHED TO THE HIJACKER.
