FBI case number and page continuation header. A witness recalls a conversation at a Long Beach bar a month or two before Thanksgiving 1971, in which a transient individual spoke of parachuting from a plane and mentioned a million dollars, stating it was too late to start over. The individual moved into the witness's apartment about a month before leaving for Oregon around the first week of November 1971. The witness adds that the individual was employed somewhere (redacted) and had a recent drunk arrest by the Long Beach Police Department. The witness states the individual has some connection to Oregon but cannot recall the specific city or details. He also states the artist's conception of the hijacker is not a good likeness of the individual in question. A person in Long Beach was interviewed and provided information about someone better known by an alias, who was first employed at a redacted location. Bates stamp/page identifier for the DB Cooper FBI file.
