On 4/10/72 I called SAC CALAME at Salt Lake City and advised him that in examining the photograph of the subject of the SALJAK case, it appeared that he had a striking resemblance to the subject of the NORJAK case. I asked him to forward photographs of the subject to us immediately, to Portland and Minneapolis, for display to the witnesses and to establish the whereabouts of McCOY during the pertinent period.
SAC CALAME called me back and advised that in examining the material obtained during their investigation, they have determined that McCOY is a makeup artist. One of the stewardesses in their case described the subject as being swarthy or dark or possibly a Mexican. He had a dark mustache. However, they have located some mustache paste in his effects.
In addition, they have determined that using the name of R. McCOY, which is his name, he made a flight from Salt Lake City to Denver and the same flight from Denver to Los Angeles one week earlier on the same airlines.
The similarities in the SALJAK and NORJAK cases are striking in that in both cases he asked for 2 back packs and 2 chest pack parachutes.

On 4/11/72 SAC CALAME called from Salt Lake City. He advised that ASAC Minneapolis, had called and informed that one of the witnesses had called the Minneapolis Office and advised that the photograph of the subject of the SALJAK case, RICHARD FLOYD McCOY, looks very much like the subject of the NORJAK case.

I asked SAC CALAME to forward us by facsimile a copy of the man's military record, his employment record, and such background as he has so that we can commence establishing the possibility that he actually had an acquaintance with this territory.

It is noted that lead in this airtel is to identify a parachutist who jumps in the water because of a disabling accident and one can assume this chutist is somewhat imobile. It is believed that the hijacker in this case has full use of all of his extremities and witnesses did not tell of any physical disability. It is noted that the person they want us to identify is in a wheel chair.
A man confined to a wheel chair did not hijack the plane in this case.

Gentlemen:
This letter is too let you know I am not dead but really alive and just back from the Bahamas, so your silly troopers up there can stop looking for me. That is just how duzb this government is. I Like your articles about me but you can stop them now.
That is just how duzb this government is. I Like your articles about me but you can stop them now. D. B. Cooper is not real.
I had to do something with the experience Uncle taught me, so here I am, a very rich man. Uncle gave too much of it to world idiots and no work for me. I had to do it to relieve myself of frustration. I want out of the system and saw a way through good ole Unk. Now you know. I am going around the world and they will never find me because I am smarter than the system's lackey cops and lame duck leaders. Now it is Uncle's turn to weep and pay one of it's own some cash for a change. (And please tell the lackey cops D. B. Cooper is not my real name).
Sincerely,
A Rich Man
