Standard US Government memorandum header from Seattle FBI field office to SAC Portland, dated January 26, 1972, regarding the NORJAK (D.B. Cooper) case. A protected source in Washington state advised an SA on January 5, 1972, that an unnamed individual may be considered a suspect in the NORJAK case. Details about the suspect and further statements are redacted. On January 18, 1972, a female source informed an SA that the suspect has worked in Oregon and Washington but lives near Medford, Oregon. She and others saw him during Christmas and jokingly called him a good suspect for the hijacking. She studied the composite sketch and found some similarities but did not think it was a good likeness. She described him as having an excellent reputation and being honest and trustworthy, but admitted his flying and parachuting background made him as capable of the hijacking as anyone.
