They traveled on this road for approximately one and one-half miles, at which time they came to a farmhouse on the left side of the road, which was the only farmhouse on this road.
Located adjacent to the farmhouse was a barn. The farmhouse was a white frame house, which had approxi- mately ten rooms, and the barn was constructed of natural- looking wood.
Just prior to arriving at the farmhouse, told him that the man who owned the house was an American named D. B. COOPER, who is the person who hijacked an airplane somewhere in the northwestern part of the United States and jumped out of the airplane over a mountainous area and who had never been caught.
Upon arriving at the farmhouse, he could tell that the house was used as a house of prostitution. There were five or six automobiles parked at the house, and he observed four or five girls. He got out of the car and went to the front porch, where he and were met by a
white male in his late 30's.
