[redacted] would sneak in to see his wife on at least one occasion when she would go out in an observation room. He also had a place where he would leave money tucked in this room. At least one other patient knew what was going on.

At a later date, the pilot and stewardess, with two kids in between them, went into the [redacted]. They wanted to get in touch with [redacted] who spent her time in a large clearing where the hospital ran a bus down there. They thought that if they got in touch with her, they could get in touch with [redacted]. They did not want to be seen, so they took a back trail in. They were having a violent argument all the way in. She wanted him to let her have the money for her operation and he wanted his own share. She won out. His money, by the way, was the only money that was wanted in clean money and that is why his was the last to be turned over. [redacted] had not gotten it all cashed and transferred. The pilot and stewardess went into the clearing and passed 1-2 people on the trail going in. Mostly kids playing. There was a man who worked for the Forest Service or for whoever controlled this forest there, and he had a good speaking voice. He gave a perfect speel about the trees and nature. The stewardess and pilot stopped remarking how good his voice was and he should be an actor. The guide replied he was a [redacted] and people hired him for jobs such as this. The guide would tend to remember that conversation and that compli- ment. [redacted] (or something similar) just watching the trees. She spent most of her days there. The pilot took off to the edge of the clearing and was not going to say anything to her. The steward- ess went around the edge of the [redacted] did not know her. The ranger introduced her to the stewardess as [redacted]. He then backed up a few steps. The stewardess started saying "Don't worry about the operation. Everything is going to be okay." She started to blurt out the whole thing. [redacted] got really nervous at that time and the stewardess again said "Don't worry about it." She referred to it as that other thing. The stewardees went around to the foot of the [redacted] and met the pilot. She introduced him to [redacted] and they left the clearing. There were one or two other people in something that may have been a small vehicle at the edge of the clearing.

Later on [redacted] died. The people who came to the funeral picked up a picture album of [redacted] and family. They turned it over to other people who knew [redacted]. These people were also in on it. They knew the drop zone. They took the pictures over to the drop zone and left them. They also picked up the money. They decided they would throw the FBI off. They showed up at the site with a [redacted]. They did not tell [redacted] and did not have any way of getting in touch with him except through this drop zone. The pictures are probably still there.

I made an attempt to get in touch with the FBI in Medford in the first year after this had happened. I was told that the man handling it was in Port- land. At that time, I did not have a phone. I dropped it at that time.

Later on, however, I realized that the FBI was saying that they knew who the person was, but they did not know his name. I instructed my secretary, the woman who was writing letters for me, to turn the information over on [redacted] to the FBI. She told me she took the letter and told the local FBI agent in Medford. I waited for some time and I never heard anymore about that. They never questioned me. I thought possibly they would.
