I am hopeful you'll be able to shed some light on these thoughts. I certainly understand that your department has more than its share of tasks to perform without fooling around with these kinds of requests, but I'm an old man trying to put a story to bed, and I could use a little help.

I agree with [REDACTED] who inherited the case when it happened. He had long maintained that Cooper either landed in the Columbia River and drowned, or died in the mountains. What's more, I can only speculate as to what actually happened, but I would certainly appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer that would help me to build a story.

[REDACTED]
