Dear Sir:

I telephoned SA [REDACTED] to report possible relationship between the sky-jack between Reno and Portland or Seattle about 1½ to 2 years ago, wherein the sky-jacker made a successful get-away with $250,000 (as nearly as I can recall) and has not been identified or located, and the sadistic rapist in San Francisco a week ago. (Sacramento Bee news- paper clipping enclosed.)

About 1½ years ago, in Fresno, I had some business with [REDACTED] who mentioned that he formerly made frequent airplane trips between Reno and Portland and Seattle, and on several of these flights he became acquainted with a person, known to him as [REDACTED] who apparently made frequent flights, knew the country "like the back of his hand," and [REDACTED] considered [REDACTED] an excellent suspect for the successful(?) - up until now - hi-jacker.
