In at least two of the crimes which she alleges were perpetrated by the LINKLETTERS, the suspects have been identified, tried and convicted; therefore, there is no basis of fact in her allegations.

[REDACTED] appears to have an extremely wild imagination b6 coupled with the obsession that ART LINKLETTER and [REDACTED] b7C are "master criminals".

Following the interview of [REDACTED] on 7/31/72, a b6 letter was directed by [REDACTED] to the Los Angeles Office b7C postmarked 8/1/72, in which she stated she had forgotten to demonstrate how [REDACTED] as "D.B. Cooper" had placed a piece of scotch tape in his nose to make his nose appear narrower.

Enclosed with the letter was an airline ticket which she had recently received through the mails with an invitation to visit a land development project in Redlands, California. In her letter she stated this ticket was "bait" and believes ART LINKLETTER, through the land development company, was going to kill her. She stated, "I have an idea this two-way trip would be only one-way because of an accident". These tickets and invitations are regularly received by home owners in Southern California and to construe the receipt of such literature as some type of plot to murder appears completely absurd.

Based on the above, it does not appear that any information provided by [REDACTED] should be considered reliable b6 or valid and no investigation concerning allegations made b7C by [REDACTED] appears warranted.

The above is being furnished for the information of St. Louis and Seattle as more letters from [REDACTED] might well b6 be received in the future wherein she will allege to have b7C information concerning other major crimes.

The airline ticket, photographs of the LINKLETTERS and the letter from [REDACTED] dated 8/1/72, will be maintained b6 in Los Angeles file 164-497. b7C
