Re Atlanta airtel to Seattle dated 7/23/79; and Seattle airtel to Atlanta 1/22/80.

On 2/1/80, Deputy U.S. Marshal [redacted] U.S. Marshal's Service, Rome, Georgia, was provided with composite photographs of subject. [redacted] advised that he had not actually seen the individual whom he believed might be identical with subject, but [redacted] had met this individual. His only reason for suspecting this individual was that [redacted] knew his last name to be [redacted], and he lived on a large estate immediately [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] did not believe him to have any visible means of support. He therefore believed that [redacted] money must be illegal, and that was the reason he thought that individual may be identical to subject. He had no substantial information that he was identical to subject, however.

---

After recontacting Deputy [redacted] numerous times, on 2/27/80, he advised that he had not had a chance to show the photographs to [redacted] and that he himself had still not seen [redacted]. The photographs were returned by Deputy [redacted] at that time.

ADMINISTRATIVE

In view of the fact that there is no reason to suspect the individual referred to by [redacted] of being identical with subject, other than the fact that he has the name [redacted], no further investigation being conducted regarding this particular individual in the Atlanta Division.

Standard FBI inter-office memorandum header from Atlanta field office to Seattle SAC, dated March 13, 1980, regarding CCA (D.B. Cooper) case. Handwritten stamp or notation indicating substantive file references. A Deputy U.S. Marshal in Rome, Georgia was shown composite photographs of the D.B. Cooper suspect on 2/1/80. He had not personally seen the individual but knew of someone living on a large estate with no visible means of support, leading him to suspect the person's money was illegal and that the individual might be the subject. He had no substantial evidence, however. After multiple follow-ups, the Deputy Marshal reported on 2/27/80 that he had not shown the photographs to the relevant contact and had still not seen the individual himself. The photographs were returned. The administrative section concludes that there is insufficient reason to suspect the individual is the D.B. Cooper subject beyond a name similarity, and no further investigation will be conducted by the Atlanta Division. Distribution list showing copies sent to Seattle and Atlanta offices, with case reference DB Cooper-29536 and standard government savings bond footer. Filing stamps and date stamps in bottom right corner, partially illegible.
