She said he [REDACTED] and the last time she saw him was when he came to his mother's funeral at Knob Noster, Missouri, about ten years ago. She said the family recalls he was in handcuffs at the funeral and believed he was there from the Missouri State Penitentiary at the time. She said he was crazy enough to do something like D. B. COOPER did. [REDACTED] had lived at Kansas City, Missouri.

[REDACTED] was unable to give a description of [REDACTED], because she said she was a child at the time she saw him, but recalled he had red curly hair at that time and he is probably about 60 years old presently. She said some of her relatives could describe him.
