For information receiving offices, on 3/7/88, [REDACTED], Pendleton, Oregon, showed SA Samuel M. Mc Pheters a painting which she said was given to her and her husband by an individual by the name of GENE COOPER or M. G. COOPER around 1970 or 1971. She advised that when she went to take the painting down from her wall, in that she was getting tired of it, she noticed on the reverse side the following printing: D. B. COOPER, Route 1, Box 134, Hermiston; name of painting: Final Resting; place of painting, Mind; date of painting, 1970; price, $450.00.

[REDACTED] advised that upon reading the name D. B. Cooper she became quite suspicious, in that this individual was [illegible] very [illegible] unusual person and may have had some of the characteristics of the hijacker, D. B. COOPER. She advised this individual recited poetry to the point of boring people, was an artist, was married to a lady in her seventies, and seemed to have a fascination for death as reflected in the painting, "Final Resting" that he gave her.
---
She also advised that this individual had been in a bad accident and had become quite crippled around the time of the hijacking, saying he had been in a car accident. She advised that she had always had a question in her mind, because he had disappeared for a period of time, and then came back later, crippled.

Upon being shown a composite photo of the alleged hijacker, "D. B. COOPER", she said, "It really looks like him." She indicated she thought it looked like him seventeen years ago when she first saw the composite.
