Standard US Government memo header addressed to SAC Seattle, case 164-81, dated October 4, 1972, regarding NORJAK (the FBI codename for the D.B. Cooper hijacking case). Sender's name is redacted under b6/b7C exemptions. A redacted name block with notation (FNU) indicating 'First Name Unknown' for a subject discussed in the memo. A King County Sheriff's Office deputy reported on September 26, 1972, that during routine patrol he became acquainted with a white male, approximately 38-40 years old, who began avoiding him shortly after the D.B. Cooper hijacking. The deputy observed from about 60 yards that this individual resembles the D.B. Cooper artist's composite sketch. About one year before the hijacking, the subject and an associate quit their jobs and started a company. They purchased something at considerable cost and had financial difficulties requiring expensive repairs, but have recently appeared to come into money and resumed work—raising suspicion. The deputy noted he is not sure the subjects know how to sky dive. Dictation and typing initials (RNN/rlg), copy count (3), a handwritten case cross-reference number 164-86-3961, and standard government footer with savings bonds advertisement.
