Re Portland airtel to Seattle, 8/10/78.
On 10/11/78, one day prior to his trial in Stockton, California, ROBERT RACKSTRAW rented a $55,000 plane from Bridgeford Flying Service and later that day called in a "Mayday" advising that his plane was on fire and he was forced to ditch in the ocean approxi- mately 12 miles out of Monterey, California.
Investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard failed to find any sign of wreckage and it is believed that subject flew the plane to Mexico.
In view of the above, Sacramento is conducting no further investigation on this matter; however, if subject is located and arrested he will be returned to Stockton, California and major case prints will be obtained.
