On 1/24/86, [REDACTED] Salt Lake County SO, retired FBI Supervisor who was the case Agent on the MC COY case, contacted the Salt Lake City Office and advised that he could not believe that [REDACTED] was writing a book or seriously believed that MC COY was D. B. COOPER. [REDACTED] believed that [REDACTED] was motivated only by the profit. He stated that extensive investigation had been done regarding MC COY, including personal discussions between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] a case Agent in the D. B. COOPER case, and that there was no way MC COY was identical with COOPER.

On 1/24/86 [REDACTED] RICHARD FLOYD MC COY, JR., contacted the Salt Lake Office of the FBI and was quite upset that the entire issue regarding [REDACTED] background had been brought up by the newspaper, and specifically [REDACTED] She stated it was a dark period in her life and she had hoped to put it behind her family. She stated that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] would not even attend school since the article appeared. She stated it was her opinion that in no way was [REDACTED] identical to D. B. COOPER and that although the paper stated that [REDACTED] had had conversations with her, she could not recall speaking with him at all. However, she did state that she did talk to a probation officer during the presentence report on [REDACTED] and that if that individual was [REDACTED] she would have spoken with him at that time. She added if any of that information appeared in any book she believed that would be an ethical violation of [REDACTED] position, if not against the law. She stated that [REDACTED] had literally hounded her by phoning and coming to her residence to the point where she is considering legal action to keep him away.
