ReBulet to Office of Special
4/21/ 60.
Enclosed herewith are 5 copies of a letterhead memo explaining
a telephone call from the "Detroit Times" at Detroit, Mich. ,
to the Flint, Mich., Resident Agency on 5/ 20/ 60.
It is noted that the Flint RA immediately advised Detroit upon
r eceipt of this call from Reporter JERRY CHIAPPETTA of the
"Detroit Times".
The ASAC in turn immediately contacted JERRY
CHIAPPETTA to determine the extent of his inquiry of our RA
and it was determined he had merely had a call from DAVE DOWNEY,
referred to in letterhead memo, and DOWNEY, by inference, had
stated it was his understanding that the FBI Agents in Flint
had previously "snatched" the 2 photos from JOSEPH PERRY.
CHIAPPETTA stated he knew that the FBI did not operate that way
and inasmuch as he was doing a research on his morgue files
he wanted to clarify this information.
CHIAPPETTA's attention was directed to a previous contact by
the Detroit Of fice with the "Detroit Times" at the time the
incident occurred and it was reiterated to this Reporter that
the FBI did not investigate this case and doe s not investigat7 !
