Standard FBI memorandum header addressed to SAC Seattle, case 164-81 (NORJAK), dated August 4, 1972, from a redacted Special Agent. A referenced letter dated 6/24/72 suggested a redacted individual as a possible D.B. Cooper suspect based on resemblance to the composite sketch. The individual is associated with the Children of God, an international organization that recruits young people and takes their worldly possessions, with members living in communes in the US and abroad. The memo notes it is unlikely the individual is the UNSUB but all leads must be followed. The lead section assigns the Seattle Division to interview a redacted female source at a redacted location in Washington state to assess her reliability and any information she may have. The referenced letter is to be included with the lead.
