Header block of an FBI internal memo from the Seattle field office, case file 164-81, regarding NORJAK (D.B. Cooper case). The SA (Special Agent) name and RE (subject) fields are redacted under b6/b7C privacy exemptions. An informant from the Seattle Police Department reported on July 5, 1973 that a former member of the Seattle Police Department named Sonny Totten was involved in strong-arm robberies and other crimes after leaving the police force. The informant stated Totten is now deceased and could provide no further information. FBI Seattle Office indices had no records on Totten. The lead section directs the Seattle field office to gather more identity information on Sonny Totten and verify the date of his death. The subject is noted as armed and dangerous. Typist initials JBH:jgm with 3 copies noted. Handwritten annotation appears to reference file number 164-81-4843 with additional notations. Handwritten notation at the bottom of the page with a reason line (redacted), a date of 4/3/73, and the document tracking number DB Cooper-11677. A handwritten annotation overlapping the LEAD section that appears to read 'CLEAR W. TOTTEN', possibly indicating a decision or note about clearing the Totten lead, or clarifying the name as W. Totten.

Several redacted blocks (b6/b7C exemptions) obscure names and identifying information
Handwritten annotations in lower portion are partially legible
