৳6 b7C
On the same date, California, was contacted at her residence and corroborated the information furnished and made available a copy of Holiday Airlines ticket dated 11/24/71 from Los Angeles to Reno, Nevada.
DANIEL L. COOPER was observed to be short- and stocky in build with a very round face. He did not appear to resemble the artist's conception of the hijacker. Mr. COOPER stated he had never been a parachutist and, although having obtained a pilot's license, he has not flown a plane of any kind for several years.
In view of the above, it does not appear DANIEL L. COOPER warrants additional consideration as a logical suspect in this matter and no further investigation is contemplated at this time.
