from the early 1970s from the Seattle area. She asked S why he was saving it and then he threw it away.

C stated that S had destroyed all photographs prior to the late 70s. They later found a full-body photograph of subject wearing a plaid jacket that experts have told her was taken between 1965 and 1972. C stated that when they found the old photograph, S stated that [REDACTED] had taken the photograph just before "the big one". In this photograph, C stated that it is very apparent to anybody who knows S's build that he has something under his jacket and C believes that it was possibly a backpack or something.

C stated that she has in her possession a tie tac and cuff links that S had from prior to [REDACTED] C has learned from books that D.B. Cooper was wearing a stick pin which C stated has been described as very similar to the tie tack she has in her possession. She described the tie tac as being gold with a pearl in it.

In the early 80s, C and S were on a trip to Columbus, Georgia. S pointed out a house that he and [REDACTED] had lived in, and an area where they used to "jump".

Cooper, What Really Happened" by Max Guenther. C advised that after she read this book, she was 100% convinced [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was identical with subject D.B. Cooper. C stated that there are things in the book that could not have been known by [REDACTED] prior to the book being published but that he had relayed to her years prior. Additionally, she believes that the person referred to as [REDACTED] is actually [REDACTED] in that she spoke of identical incidents as S had relayed to her about his life when he was [REDACTED]

Also, just prior to S's death, she mentioned that S had never told her how he injured his leg. He told her that he injured it during the "big one".

C advised that she has viewed photographs of the composite drawing of D.B. Cooper and does not think they are identical but
