Agent
If not for my inherent procrastion you might have gotten this letter a year or two earlier, and if not for. the urgings of many of my friends you may not have received it at all. You may not be the best person contact, but I lifted your name from the May 25th Seattle P I Sunday Northwest magazine section. To shorten what otherwise could be a long story I will say that it is possible I may know the real name of the man called "Cooper."
My friends have urged me to contact the FBI and tell the same story I have told them. They labor under the delusion I'll get rich from all"rewards. But reward or not I will relate to you, or some other agent, what I know ( and do not know) if you can do what you can to keep my name confidential.
I have no need at all for a homocide bent, revenge crazy crook on my trail sometime in the future!
I lost track of this man sometime in 1964, but from what little I know of the hijacking case everything fits. The composite sketch is not a likeness, but two of the features are certainly his.
I lost track of this man sometime in 1964, but from what little I know of the hijacking case everything fits. The composite sketch is not a likeness, but two of the features are certainly his.
I haven't said anything up to now for two reasons.
1. The nagging fear I could be causing an innocent person a. lot of trouble, and
2. should I be right the guilty party would not look to kindly on me .
I say something now for a number of reasons. Unlike my friends who are positive I once knew the man who was to become D. B. Cooper, I am not sure. I guess I'd like to know too.
Please feel free to have an agent or yourself contact me. Maybe you will agree with my friends.
