[REDACTED] Washougal, WA., [REDACTED] telephone [REDACTED] came to the office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Vancouver Resident Agency, 500 West 8th Street, Suite #220, Vancouver, WA.

[REDACTED] provided his date of birth as [REDACTED] and his Social Security Account Number as [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] came to the FBI to turn in an item that he described as a parachute. [REDACTED] stated that in August of 2000, he was with his boys in the area of Reed Island in the Columbia River (a little east of Washougal) when they found what appeared to be a parachute. They were playing in the sand along the water, digging holes in the sand, when they came across the item.

[REDACTED] contacted the FBI and wanted to turn the item over to the FBI, thinking that the parachute may be connected with the D.B. Cooper hijacking.

[REDACTED] stated that he had no interest in the item (parachute) and that if it was no use to the FBI it could be disposed of and/or destroyed.
