mation.
During the first week of November 1971, he was on an elk hunting trip in the northeastern portion of the state of Oregon. During this hunt he ran across a log shelter cabin and a cache of survival gear located in a remote place in this area. He is unware of the signifcance of this cache but furn- ished this information after hearing about captioned case. He advised that a short time after the hijacking he was transferred by his company from Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, Georgia, and only recently received his furniture and personal effects.
He advised that a short time after the hijacking he was transferred by his company from Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, Georgia, and only recently received his furniture and personal effects. Since some of the data contained herein was with his personal effects he was unable to furnish this information prior to this time.
He produced a United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service map of the Joseph Ranger District, Wallowa Whit- man National Forest, dated in 1965. He stated that this map is available through the headquarters of the Forest Service in Portland, Oregon. He stated that the area that he is relating to is located within sections 1, 12, or 13 of Range 49 east in Township 1 north as set out on the above described map.
He states that he was off hunting by himself on this one particular occasion, when he stumbled into an area of heavy brush, he discovered a log shelter constructed entirely of logs five to six inches in diameter. The building being approximately four feet long by five feet wide and four feet high, the open- ing to the shelter was covered by logs propped in place and staked in position in the ground.
The building being approximately four feet long by five feet wide and four feet high, the open- ing to the shelter was covered by logs propped in place and staked in position in the ground. At the time he was there, there was approximately 12 to 18 inches of snow on the ground and this amount of snow had been in the area for four to six weeks prior

to this time. He noticed no fresh tracks near the shelter or cache at the time.
He was unable to look into the shelter to see what was contained therein and he did not remove any of the logs to examine it. He did notice a duffel bag hanging from a tree near by. This duffel bag had the name or the last name could be with Air Force number imprinted on the duffel bag.
This duffel bag had the name or the last name could be with Air Force number imprinted on the duffel bag. The bag appeared to be old and contained numerous tears and wear holes. He examined the contents of the duffel bag and discovered that it contained rifle bullets, long-handled men's underwear, shoe grease, candles, a jacket, vitamin pills, and some hippie-type smoking pipes, which appeared to handmade. He noticed no food, no socks, or shoes in the bag. He noted that several of these items still had price tags on them reflecting that they were purchased either at GI Joe's or Andy and Box both of which are Army sur- plus stores located in Portland, Oregon. He did not recall any dates of purchase.
He also noted that there was a left-handed bow, as used by archers, hanging from a tree nearby. He removed this bow and took it with him, the bow bears the name Baer Archery Company, Grayling, Michigan, registration number
He stated that the area of the cache is located in what is known as Hell's Canyon, near the boundary between east- ern Oregon and Idaho.
He removed this bow and took it with him, the bow bears the name Baer Archery Company, Grayling, Michigan, registration number
He stated that the area of the cache is located in what is known as Hell's Canyon, near the boundary between east- ern Oregon and Idaho. It is located generally in a gully be- tween Windy Ridge and the next ridge located to the southwest. He states that the nearest community is in Imnaha, Oregon, located on the Imnaha River. To get to the area you take the Hat Point Road out of Imaha and follow it to the end of the pavement, at this point you follow the wide trail that goes out on Windy Ridge and finally comes to a dead end. The road ends at a small draw and the area of the cache is located about 200 or so yards from the end of the road.
He stated that this general area has the appearance of being used during the summer months by packtrain trips com ing from various dude ranches in the area and located nearby is a camping area which might be an overnight stopping point on these packtrain trips. He stated that from this camping area the site of the cache is perhaps 100 to 150 yards away up the side of a hill in heavy brush.
He stated that from this camping area the site of the cache is perhaps 100 to 150 yards away up the side of a hill in heavy brush. The cache could not be seen from the camping area but the area could probably be point- ed out by one of the rangers from the nearby ranger station at Hat Point.

Other members of the hunting party were a young relative of last name unrecalled, who is possibly a student at one of the community colleges in the Portland, Oregon, area. The third member of the trip is who is employed as in the Portland area.

Due to the fact that the Hell's Canyon area is located a considerable distance from the possible flight path of the aircraft in captioned case, flying from Seattle to Reno, the significance of this information is not known to the Atlanta office, accordingly, no leads are being set out in the Portland area at this time.

stated she was a relative of ART LINKLETTER, the well-known television personality. She spoke rapidly with a distinct French accent and made disjointed statements about how she had deduced by reading articles on various murders and hijackings that
ART LINKLETTER, have been responsible for the Zodiac murders, the mutilation murders of farm workers in Yuba City, California, the TATE - LA BIANCA murders in Los Angeles and the ax murders which took place in a national park in California. When it was pointed out to her that in some of these matters the perpetrators have been identified and convicted
When it was pointed out to her that in some of these matters the perpetrators have been identified and convicted of the crimes, she replied very positively that the police have identified the wrong persons as no police agency will touch ART LINKLETTER or his family.

She advised ART LINKLETTER was once a hit man for a crime syndicate out in New York in the 1930's and has been responsible for many crimes throughout the U.S. When anyone threatened to disclose him they are killed and she added that have been brought up in the same criminal way.
She added that DIANE LINKLETTER, ART's daughter, had not actually committed suicide when she allegedly jumped out of a Hollywood apartment while on drugs.
She added that DIANE LINKLETTER, ART's daughter, had not actually committed suicide when she allegedly jumped out of a Hollywood apartment while on drugs. She stated that pushed DIANE out of the
window upon ART LINKLETTER. She believed this was due to the fact that DIANE knew too much about criminal activities.
then displayed photographs of ART, which she had clipped from trade publications, advising she had deduced from newspaper articles that was the Zodiac killer and was "D.B. Cooper". She stated the wrong man was going to trial in the Yuba City, California murders as she has deduced from reading newspaper reports that was the only person who could be responsible for these killings.
She stated that the LINKLETTERS were involved in the TATE - LA BIANCA murders in Los Angeles but could provide no specific reasons why she believed this. When asked if she had reported her beliefs to the local police she stated she had done so on several occasions but apparently no one believed her or would not take any action because of ART LINKLETTER's social status.
When asked if she had reported her beliefs to the local police she stated she had done so on several occasions but apparently no one believed her or would not take any action because of ART LINKLETTER's social status.
advised she writes many letters reporting her beliefs to various police agencies and knows that no action is ever taken because of ART LINKLETTER's social and financial status. All of her information is based on articles she has read about various crimes.
She does not have any specific firsthand information but appears obsessed with the idea that ART LINKLETTER has for many years been connected with crime syndicates in New York and Chicago and that have been responsible for numerous hijackings and murders in the U.S.

In at least two of the crimes which she alleges were perpetrated by the LINKLETTERS, the suspects have been identified, tried and convicted; therefore, there is no basis of fact in her allegations.

appears to have an extremely wild imagination coupled with the obsession that ART LINKLETTER and are "master criminals".
Following the interview of on 7/31/72, a letter was directed by to the Los Angeles Office postmarked 8/1/72, in which she stated she had forgotten to demonstrate how as "D.B. Cooper" had placed a piece of scotch tape in his nose to make his nose appear narrower.
Enclosed with the letter was an airline ticket which she had recently received through the mails with an invitation to visit a land development project in Redlands, California. In her letter she stated this ticket was "bait" and believes ART LINKLETTER, through the land development company, was going to kill her. She stated, "I have an idea this two-way trip would be only one-way because of an accident". These tickets and invitations are regularly received by home owners in Southern California and to construe the receipt of such literature as some type of plot to murder appears completely absurd.
Based on the above, it does not appear that any information provided by should be considered reliable or valid and no investigation
Based on the above, it does not appear that any information provided by should be considered reliable or valid and no investigation concerning allegations made by appears warranted.
The above is being furnished for the information of St. Louis and Seattle as more letters from might well be received in the future wherein she will allege to have information concerning other major crimes.
The airline ticket, photographs of the LINKLETTERS and the letter from dated 8/1/72, will be maintained in Los Angeles file 164-497.
