FBI case file number and dictator/typist initials for the report. A person told a redacted individual about Northwest Orient Flight 10 boarding at Gate 34 at 6:45 PM and began to suspect the passenger might be the subject of the D.B. Cooper case. The description of the unidentified subject (aka Dan Cooper) was provided by phone through a Sheriff's Officer at SFIA (San Francisco International Airport). The officer believed the description closely matched the passenger. A redacted individual was shown a composite photograph of the unsub and became visibly shaken by the close resemblance, then pointed out the passenger seated in the waiting area. An FBI Special Agent approached and interviewed a suspect at the airport. The suspect presented a Nevada driver's license from Reno showing height 6', weight 150 lbs. He denied knowledge of any hijacking or connection to D.B. Cooper but agreed the composite photograph could resemble him. He gave conflicting employment histories, first citing Dallas Smith Chrysler on Slaussen Boulevard in Los Angeles, then International Harvester A&H Division in Montebello, California, where he claimed to have worked for almost eight years. He stated he had been 'sick' since leaving. The text is cut off at the bottom of the page. Page numbering indicator showing this is page 2 of the report, with Bates stamp DB Cooper-25697.
