[REDACTED] advised that COOPER gave her the painting either on their second or third meeting after she had originally met him. He said the painting depicted tombstones and that the title was "Final Resting."

---

[REDACTED] advised she considered COOPER just an acquaintance. She advised she next heard of him from her husband. Her husband said he had come back to Pendleton, Oregon, and had been in a bad car accident. He was pretty crippled at the time. COOPER indicated that he had been in a car accident and that he had wrecked a green Ford Torino.

---

[REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] [REDACTED], Pendleton, Oregon, also danced with COOPER several times.

---

[REDACTED] advised she always had a question in her mind because COOPER had disappeared about the time of the D.B. COOPER hijacking and came back later crippled. She advised then that the previous Saturday she had turned the picture over to take downstairs and throw away because she was tired of it and noticed the signature D.B. COOPER written on the back.

---

On March 9, 1988, [REDACTED] was shown the composite photograph of D.B. COOPER which came out in the newspapers of 1971, subsequent to the hijacking. [REDACTED] said, "It really looks like him." She advised she thought the composite sketch looked like him seventeen years ago when she first saw it. She advised she did not contact law enforcement because she did not think it could have been him who hijacked the plane.

---

[REDACTED] advised she recalled that she and her husband were on their way to Reno, Nevada, when the hijacking occurred. When she first saw the composite she thought it resembled COOPER "a lot" but thought it was just a coincidence.
