Facts of complaint

C. advised that [REDACTED], Pacoima, Calif., came in to their bank today and opened a savings account with [REDACTED] in $20 bills, some of them new. C. considered it a little unusual that such a large amount would be all in twenties, and therefore called. He said [REDACTED] who came in with his wife, generally matched the description of the hijacker. He could not guess [REDACTED] age.

C. furnished the serial numbers from the first two $20 bills in his possession, and they were not on the list of money obtained by Unsub. C. agreed to keep the $20 bills apart until Monday, in case someone can call him concerning them. He said [REDACTED] displayed his Driver's license, telephone number and all other identification requested.

FBI Complaint Form FD-71 header section for NORJAK/EXTORTION case. Complaint received telephonically on 12/31/71 at 4:00 PM. Complainant is from Coast and Southern Federal Savings at 1616 Van Nuys Blvd., Panorama City. Complainant from Coast and Southern Federal Savings reported a man from Pacoima, Calif. who opened a savings account with a large amount in $20 bills, some new. The complainant found it unusual and called because the man generally matched the hijacker's description. Serial numbers from the first two $20 bills were checked and were NOT on the list of ransom money obtained by Unsub. The complainant agreed to hold the $20 bills until Monday. No record found in LA indices. Handwritten notes, largely illegible, appear to be follow-up annotations possibly dated 11/3/72 regarding the bills and follow-up actions. Filing stamp showing the document was serialized and filed, likely in Los Angeles (GELES = partial 'LOS ANGELES'), dated 1972. Handwritten instruction to call the complainant early in the morning, likely a follow-up action note. Document identification stamp for the DB Cooper case file. Privacy exemption markings (b6 = personal privacy, b7C = law enforcement personal privacy) indicating redacted information throughout the document.

Some fields are redacted (b6/b7C privacy exemptions)
Handwritten notes at bottom left are difficult to read
Typewritten text is generally legible
