[redacted] said the customer did have quite a roll of $20 bills and used one to buy a pair of shoes.

During a rather lengthy conversation, the man gave his name as [redacted] residing at [redacted] Seattle, Washington, which is operated by [redacted]

[redacted] said [redacted] whose first name was not given, said one of the reasons D.B. COOPER was successful was because of his politeness during the hijacking and said a person can do anything if he has a mind.
