Header block of FBI internal memo from SA Thomas J. Manning to SAC Seattle, dated 10/29/76, regarding NORJAK case, referencing a prior memo dated 9/25/76. A female source (redacted) reported on 10/29/76 that she no longer works directly with a male subject at Weyerhaeuser. The subject claims he will share his wealth with her and references a key person involved in using money he has found. He has not recently contacted that person, who told him it was not yet time to use the money. The person remains unidentified except as being in Washington. The source was again told she would share in the subject's wealth. She informally asked Weyerhaeuser colleagues about the subject's credibility. They describe him as a liar and exaggerator, but she has no definitive proof he is lying to her. She plans to see him again in about a week to secure further information, especially the identity of the unidentified person. FBI checks in the redacted vicinity found numerous retired loggers and recent logging roads but failed to identify the subject or the unidentified person. SA Manning will continue contact with the source, who agreed to immediately notify the FBI if she receives any relevant information. Administrative notations at bottom of memo including distribution count, agent initials, and serial/file number. Also contains a DB Cooper Vault identifier stamp.
