FBI file reference numbers and dictation initials. An FBI Special Agent conducted an investigation at Corvallis, Oregon. On June 11, 1980, a contact at the OSU Campus Security Office provided annual yearbooks for 1971–1973. A review found no entry for a redacted individual; it was noted that graduate students commonly have no yearbook listing. The OSU Registrar's Office confirmed no photograph on file for the subject. The individual attended OSU from summer 1971 through winter 1972, skipping spring 1972. He received a degree, listed a Corvallis address, and had a home of record in Coos Bay, Oregon. As a graduate student, the subject was not required to attend class regularly. It could not be determined whether he was in Corvallis on November 24, 1971 (the date of the D.B. Cooper hijacking). Class schedules were only retained for five years. The subject received a degree from West Virginia State University, graduated from Fairmont High School, and attended Fairmont State College, University of Missouri, University of West Virginia at Morgantown, and the University of Arizona in Tucson.
