Re my memo, 3/30/72, regarding call from unidentified man claiming to know/ where hijack ransom money is hedden. It will be recalled the individual also called city editor ofxx the Spokane Chronicle and gave same story.
It appears the call was from a prankster or someone seeking to confuse the issue. On 3/31/72, Spokane Chronicle advised the writer that the individual came in person to the office that morning and gave substantially the same story and said he wanted 20% of the loot.
On 3/31/72, Spokane Chronicle advised the writer that the individual came in person to the office that morning and gave substantially the same story and said he wanted 20% of the loot. He declined to identify himself but said he looked and acted like an ex-con, guedded him to be about 30, fairly clean and polite but somewhat arrogant. Saad he insisted on dealing with newspaper so he could enforce any promise not to be prosecuted.
Individual told and that there are five other peoples who know where the money is. Amount involved is $491,000. He said there were three persons who stole a station wagon and the money was in it. They don't know where it came from. They found a paper folder that had held an wirplane ticket so they figured it might have come from a highjacking. The individual stated that three guys stole the vehicle that had the money in it. They are "heavy" thieves and have relatives here. He figures if they are picked up, they will think the relatived fingered them and not the man talking.
