On 4/23/79, [REDACTED], Portland, Oregon, telephone [REDACTED], telephonically advised that [REDACTED] Lake Merwin, Washington. On her way home on 4/22/79, from the lot, she noticed a piece of white cloth in a tree on the right hand side of the road going south, approximately five miles from Lake Merwin, between Fargher Lake and Arboy, Washington. She advised the cloth appeared to be heavy silk or possibly fiberglass material, raveled on the edges and about 18 inches long and 12 inches wide. She immediately thought of the COOPER case and thought the cloth could be a piece of the parachute. She advised she could direct an Agent to the site.
