unknown. He stated that NYE apparently moved from Minnesota this past summer and is described as a white male, approximately 6'0", 200 pounds, with dark colored, graying, curly, neat hair. He said that there is nothing that he can put his finger on concerning why he believes that NYE might be D. B. COOPER, other than he had seen an artist's conception several years ago and felt there was some resemblance. He stated that NYE apparently has a good education, however, he does not believe he is using it in his employment as a car salesman. He feels that NYE always seems to have a little extra money, more than a car salesman would make. He stated that NYE is a likeable person, and there is no other reason for his feeling that NYE might be D. B. COOPER. He indicated that NYE owns a Ford station wagon, which is usually parked in the drive in front of his residence.
