eo BUREAU OF INVESTIGAGgBN Appl a i Dote of transcription 12/1/76 advised he b6 was deer hunting on or about October 23, 1976, about BIC and saw a movement in the trees. He sai thought he saw a deer and approached the area, only to notice a pair of pants hanging in the trees. He said it was about 25 feet from the ground and the pants were covered with leaves and fir tree needles. He continued that he obtained a long stick and removed the pants from the branch it was resting on and examined the pockets looking for identification. He said the pockets were empty so he left the pants in the trees. L_Jpointea out he did not think too much about b6 ‘the pants only that they did not appear to be pants that a bic logger or possibly a hunter would discard in the woods. He said in his 40 years in the woods he never saw pants hanging from a tree that height from the ground before. He said he read some of the recent articles about D.B. COOPER and thought the pants might be important in that investigation. ; Interviewed on “11/23/76 |, __ Ariel, Washing » Washington File # SE 164-81~— 7 Boy . b6 by SA crs : Dote dictated aes hick RST Been This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI.
