A citizen's letter dated December 5, 1974 addressed to an FBI agent, reporting an incident in Castle Rock, Washington that allegedly occurred on the same evening and approximate time as the D.B. Cooper hijacking. The writer references a witness who reported the incident to the local sheriff but was dismissed. The witness does not know this letter is being sent. Multiple names, addresses, and phone numbers are redacted under b6/b7C privacy exemptions. The word 'SHIRIFF' appears to be an original misspelling of 'SHERIFF'.
