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.
