[REDACTED] admitted that an unidentified woman friend primarily suspected [REDACTED] of being a good suspect because of the similarities of the names - D.B. COOPER vs. [REDACTED] and because [REDACTED] was previously a Marine Paratrooper and an armed demolitions expert.

Header block of an FBI internal memo addressed to SAC Seattle, file number 164-81, dated 12/13/72, subject NORJAK. SA name and RE line redacted. An individual telephoned the Spokane RA on January 4, 1972, reporting that a woman friend suspected a redacted person of being the NORJAK unsub, based on name similarity to D.B. Cooper and the suspect's background as a Marine Paratrooper and armed demolitions expert. On August 22, 1972, an SA reviewed the suspect's Selective Service file and obtained physical descriptive information: 5'7", 165 pounds, ruddy complexion, gray hair, blue eyes. Name, DOB, and characteristics are redacted. The suspect is dismissed because the primary basis for suspicion was only name similarity to D.B. Cooper (a name with no bearing on the case), and the physical description did not match. The file is closed with the note ARMED AND DANGEROUS. Typist initials RNN:bfr, copy count (3), and document tracking number DB Cooper-10136.
