Dear Sir:
In regard to the hi-jacked plane out of Seattle -- with the $200,000 paid
to whom?
A very strange case indeed. Just a thot on the part of an outsider is following.
Why could this not have been a job by part of the crew[illegible]
Who saw the man to buy ticket? who took the money bag? who asked for the ransom?
The stewardess could have worked it out with a little help possibly.
Why did not the trailing planes see the jumper if he left the jet as told.
It may be a wea rd idea but I believe the FBI could check that angle.
From an amateur sleuth
Yours truly,
[signature redacted]
