Dear Sir: Some months back, I made a report to some local police in a neighboring small town concerning the man who had high-jacked the plane with 200,000. ransome money. Several days back in talking with one of three men he said they had not sent the information. So will mail direct, what I believe is God given information concerning the man who had so far gotten away with his act.
In a vision -- I was up in the air, looking down, I saw a man sitting on the ground, under some decidious trees, he had raked some leaves around him, evidently to make some sort of a bed. It looked like his left leg may have been injured. Possibly some 200 feet to the [guess: south] of him was a barn, and beyond the barn must have been a house, although I was not able to see it. There were some people running out beyond the line of the barn, they saw this man laying under the trees. I heard one man say, we have to get him out of there, before some one sees him. It was several days later, I saw this man walking out, I believe a dirt road. There was a restaurant at a short distance. Some people in the restaurant saw him coming, they became afraid, locked the door and got out of sight. -- That was all. I was given no information as to the location or in what state. This much, it was in an area where there were decidious trees, no evergreens, and in an area where lumbering was going on. On the back of this page, I will draw a cut of the restaurant as I saw it.
Again, in listening to a news cast, I learned the hunt for this man or men is still continuing. That night in a prayer to our Heavenly Father, I asked for information which I could forward [guess: this] to the law enforcement agency, which would enable them to capture this man or men. In a vision - I was over some water, up in the air a short distance, and out from the shore a short distance, where the water met the shore, there was just about enough space for a person to walk along. The bank went almost straight up, just how high I did not see, but it must have been at least 8 or 10 feet or more. I saw a man along the shore, they had dug a little channel in to the bank, about 2 or 3 ft. wide. The man at the bottom, I could not see what he was doing, but I heard him call to some one at the top, to stop, and the man at the top - now, how are you going to get back up here. The man at the bottom replied, I will walk along until I find an opening. He appeared to be around 25 years and may be 5ft. 8 or 10 inches tall. Concerning the money, I believe it is in a water tight container, and on second thought, I wonder if that is what the man at the bottom was doing, burying it along the bank. Please forward this information to the proper law enforcement agency and may God help them to capture the guilty. And if
