RE: Suspect Dr. JAMES A. POMAN(deceased)

Re Seattle memo of SA [REDACTED] 3/28/82.

On 4/13/82 and 4/21/82, [REDACTED], Office of Special Investigations, Department of Social and Health Services, 500 W. 8th Street, Vancouver, Wash. advised he had no new or pertinent information concerning Dr. ROMAN and had been unsuccessful in locating a photo of ROMAN.

On 5/20/82, contact was attempted with [REDACTED], supra, with negative results as he was not available.

On 5/25/82, contact was made with [REDACTED] [REDACTED] who was contacted at her place of employment, Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Social and Health Services, Vancouver, Wash., advised she had been [REDACTED] and recalled that the D.B. Cooper hi-jacking took place the night before Thanksgiving of that year. She stated [REDACTED] at least a portion of time between 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm the day before Thanksgiving. She advised ROMAN did not smoke in 1971, had no parachuting experience to her knowledge, and made no flights between Portland and Seattle to her knowledge.

[REDACTED] indicated ROMAN was born Oct. 9, 1927. After viewing the artist's conceptions of D.B. Cooper, she stated ROMAN looked nothing like the conceptions.

[REDACTED] said she had no reason to protect ROMAN inasmuch as [REDACTED] by virtue of him killing his present wife and then committing suicide. She said that if she had any information relative to ROMAN's involvement with the D.B. Cooper hi-jacking, she would provide it to the FBI.

Based on the above information, it is suggested that Dr. JAMES A. ROMAN no longer be considered a suspect in this matter.
