Dear Sir:

We were led to believe from a TV report in Nov. 1977 that the statute of limitations was now up on the D.B. Cooper money. Last weeks paper stated that it was not. Which is true?

Also - What interest does the Insurance Co. have in this "Treasure Trove" assuming they paid the airlines for the loss?

What information can you give us on the connection of Bryant Jack Coffelt and D.B. Cooper?

Please let us know. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Date of the letter. A citizen letter dated December 1, 1978 addressed to the FBI asking three questions: (1) whether the statute of limitations on the D.B. Cooper ransom money has expired, citing conflicting TV and newspaper reports from late 1977; (2) what interest the insurance company has in the money as a 'Treasure Trove' if they already paid the airline's loss; and (3) requesting information on the connection between Bryant Jack Coffelt and D.B. Cooper. FBI FOIA exemption codes b6 (personal privacy) and b7C (law enforcement personal privacy), applied to redact the sender's identity. FBI case tracking or Bates number stamp. Sender's name and address redacted under FOIA exemptions b6/b7C. Only the state 'Oregon' is visible.
