FROM : SA [REDACTED]

SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: Seattle

For information, on 2/20/80, [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Vancouver, Washington, phone number [REDACTED] was contacted and she advised that [REDACTED] visited the Tena Bar area in Vancouver, near the location searched by the FBI for ransom money. [REDACTED] happened to find a corner of a $20.00 bill, and she would allow agents of the FBI to examine same.

---

On 2/20/80, [REDACTED] supra, and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] were contacted at their residence, and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] displayed a corner of a $20.00 bill which he found on the Tena Bar. He stated that he found this item sticking out of the sand near the area searched by the FBI. He pro- vided the corner of the $20.00 bill to the writer to determine if in fact it is a portion of the ransom money.

ADMINISTRATIVE

The corner of the $20.00 bill provided by [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in no way resembles the sections of money found during the search on Tena Bar. It is the opinion of the writer that this item was placed there as a practical joke. The section of the $20.00 bill provided by [REDACTED] has been placed in a 1A envelope for the file.
