Sometime later on, I realized through conversations I had overheard that someone knew about[REDACTED] who had witnessed what went on aboard the aircraft. A couple of men were talking in a group and said that he was the only one who could tie them in with that hijacking. They decided to eliminate him sometime in the future. There also was talk about getting rid of[REDACTED] who was also there. One of them said, "Well,[REDACTED] did not see us. He could not tie us in." They did not say how they were going to get rid of[REDACTED] I knew this guy was now a cop someplace, but I did not know where.

I tried again to get in touch with the FBI by writing them a letter. I wrote the letter myself - admittedly not a great letter. I related no more than I had to, trying to get them interested. I waited for a response, but got none. I just threw it away finally. Later on, I find out by seeing it in the newspaper that[REDACTED] the only witness, had had an attempt made on his life. His life was spared because he wore a bullet proof vest. With this information, I felt I should write him a letter and try to get in touch with him. I wrote to him in care of the Los Angeles Police Department. I did not hear anything.

The FBI had three agents out looking for the money after this thing in the field around these lights. I did see them spot the paracute rigging that they had used, the strap which had been thrown over there. One of them started to pick it up and then another said, "Leave it there. We'll pick it up on the way back." There were a lot of parachutes in this area, so they just left it there and I believe they did pick it up later. Also, this same area, later on these guys went back to see if there was any money there. They were just looking around. They knew[REDACTED] They were in on this thing. Possibly this is the gangster, the money changer that[REDACTED] had on the ground. Also, one of these parachutes was found by a young boy and he drug it out. It reached the floor of the cave where[REDACTED] went in to pick up the money. They spotted it later on. These other boys were in there playing with it. The parachutes had a dye mark or some kind of mark printing and there also was a swirl sewn over it, latest model of a colorful parachute. Also, there is another incident in which a couple of apparently FBI agents entered a cave in searching the area and one of them related that this particular cave had an entrance, doorway, in it where you could actually walk right in rather than climb. In this cave, about 10 ft. in there were a couple of real huge foot prints, several inches deep on the floor of the cave. One of the men related "I wonder who those belong to?" The other one said, "Well, if we knew who those belonged to, we'd probably have our man." I go back now in time to when those foot prints were made. They were made by a man named[REDACTED] He was in this cave and he was talking with this guy, who might have been[REDACTED] I don't know, but[REDACTED] was in that area. He was describing the color of[REDACTED] I have never heard of the color of[REDACTED] He kept tapping himself on the chest the way he does, jumping up and down saying,[REDACTED] He could not figure out what he was talking about. Then he explained it to him and he said, "Well, I've never heard of it." At that time, there was a lot of water and the ground was real soft. Apparently another layer of the roof had just come down to make it sandy. He made these big foot prints. [REDACTED] will go back to an incident down in Southern California in which this[REDACTED] who plays the[REDACTED] on TV. At that time, he was struggling as an actor and he also owned a small grocery store. Up above him there was a K-Mart that opened up. Of course, that took all his business away from him. He could not make it in the grocery. [REDACTED] was one of
