This file concerns the FBI's post-crash investigation of Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771, which was destroyed on December 7, 1987. The released records are FBI teletypes and evidence-handling paperwork from December 1987, including transfers of a typewriter ribbon and cassette to the FBI Laboratory. They also document inquiries into travel and accidental-death insurance policies purchased in the name of David Augustus Burke before the flight, with policies and related records sought for fingerprint and handwriting examination. FBI field offices in Los Angeles, Alexandria, Omaha, and New Haven coordinated evidence, insurance-company contacts, and laboratory submissions.
