[REDACTED] Wetmore, MI Dear [REDACTED]

Your May 19th communication to the Department of Justice in which you inquired about the investigation of the D. B. Cooper airliner hijacking was referred to the FBI for response.

This matter remains the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation and, as such, I am precluded by longstanding FBI and Department of Justice policy from commenting on specific aspects of the case. I can tell you, however, that while there is no standing, posted reward in this case, the FBI has a mecha- nism in place which permits us to make payments from time to time to individuals who provide us with information which enables us to resolve certain investigations.

We are unable to determine from the information you provided the exact nature of your inquiry regarding a [REDACTED]. If you have information concerning this individual which you believe may concern a matter involving a violation of federal law falling within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI, or if you have information which you believe pertains to the D. B. Cooper hijacking, please provide the specific, factual details to our Detroit Office at the address below.
