[REDACTED] advised that apparently [REDACTED] resembled a drawing of D.B. Cooper. [REDACTED] was never told that the drawing she was shown on 11/27/90 was the D.B. Cooper composite. [REDACTED] explained that occasionally she and [REDACTED] would go out socially and some of his friends would sometimes kid him about resembling the drawing of D.B. Cooper, and pointing out the fact that he [REDACTED] could also parachute because of his military training.

[REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] would respond to the suggestion that he is D.B. Cooper by saying [REDACTED] or [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] never told her or anyone else to her knowledge that he was in fact "D.B. Cooper" and committed the hijacking.

On 1/7-9/91 the Newark Division case agent, who is also a bureau pilot, reviewed all the original files in regard to this matter at FBIHQ. These files contained extensive information regarding the characteristics and physical abilities of the unsub, as well as an excellent re-construction of the route of the aircraft when it was hi-jacked and the most probable point where the hi-jack bailed out with the money. The geographic and local maps in the file indicate that the most probable point of bail out was in Clark County, Washington, just southeast of La Center, Washington.

It is noted that when a pilot's aeronautical chart is superimposed over this area, the point of bail out is in extremely close proximity to the "Portland Vortac" which is used for aircraft navigation. It is further noted that Battleground, Washington is less that five miles from the "Portland Vortac".
---
As noted above, [REDACTED] lived in Battleground, Washington, during the time of the hijacking and was very familiar with the ground terrain and basic aircraft navigation. It is possible that the hijacked airplane, literally flew over [REDACTED] house or close proximity to it.
---
[REDACTED] is a parachute jumper, that bears a strong resemblance to D.B. Cooper and at the time smoked Raleigh Filter cigarettes. [REDACTED] at the time was extremely familiar with the Portland-Seattle area and lived in Battleground, Washington when the hijacking occurred. [REDACTED] over the years has expressed an avid interest in the case.
