| Northwest Flight Dispatch Center, b6
called twice on the afternoon of November 28, 1971. The b7C
first time he advised that he had checked on possible
information and believed that a more accurate pin-pointing
of the possible place of descent of the hi jagker would be
three statute miles east northeast of LaCenter, Washingto
on a bearing of 080 degrees, true. He s the center of
the circle would depend on the clock being a few seconds
off one way or the other or the Unsub falling free before
he opened the chute. However, he would estimate that a
circle with a three-mile radius from the point described
above should come close to the place of descent.

He called back subsequently and said that he had
talked to the man who was working the radar at Portland
which was very accurate since it was very close to the
plane at the time and determined that the plane was actually
one to two miles east of the center of this particular
fly-way. He said f6rvthis reason, we might consider
moving the center of the circle described above one or
two miles due east.

This information was furnished to SA MANNING on
November 28, 1971. He was instructed to make certain that
this area was thoroughly searched and to consider air
coverage on November 29, 1971.

At 635 AM, on November 29, 1971, SA JAMES BLAND
at the Bureau called. He advised that the UPI, AP and many
of the eastern newspapers were carrying stories inthis
matter, quoting SA MANNING, the Agent in charge at the search
scene, as having said "The man has to be a professional

sky diver or he is crazy". Another quote is to the effect
"If he was wearing street clothes he would obviously be
injured", which is attributed to MANNING. [1 bé
expected a teletype from us as a result of SA bic
call on November 27.

I told him that[ ___]aia not request such a bé
teletype and I did not offer one. I told him, however, b7C

that MANNING had been told not to make any remarks to the
press and that the remarks described by him were common

talk among the law enforcement officials and that the
Sheriffs from Clark and Cowlitz had been interviewed
extensively by the press, and that I was certain that MANNING
had made no such remarks.

He requested a teletype about it.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

11/29/71

Date of tronscription,

EARL J. COSSEY, 349 North 10lst, Seattle, telephone

SU3-0475, appeared at the Seattle Office at which time he
furnished the following information:

He is a master parachute rigger and jump instructor

at Seattle Sky Sports, Issaquah, Washington, telephone
EX2-3050.

In May, 1971,| Washington,
neede wo parachutes COSSEY

packed two parachutes which were furnished tof __]on

or about May 1971. He Gescribed these parachutes as
back packs, commonly referred to as "emergency" parachutes.
He also packed.the two chest pack parachutes which were
furnished to Northwest Airlines on November 24, 1971.

The two parachutes recovered from the Northwest
Airlines flight 305 at Reno, Nevada, on November 24, 1971,
were described in detail to Mr. COSSEY at which time he
described the missing back pack parachute as having a sage
green nylon container, model NB6 (Navy Back pack 6} with
sage green nylon harness, which harness has no "D" rings
to mount a chest pack. The parachute is a 28 foot nylon
white flat circular with a specially fitted foam padded
cushion. The pilot chute is also white.

Mr. COSSEY said that the missing chest pack para-
chute is a ground training pack dummied up to look like a
good one. He said that by "dummied up" he means that tie
downs were attached to the container. This chest pack
was devised by COSSEY to teach trainees while hung in a
harness how to open the chest pack in the event of an
emergency. The folds of the parachute are sewen together
to preclude the parachute opening in the training room.
Mr. COSSEY said that the back packs furnished the hijacker
aid not have the necessary hooks on the harness to attach
a chest pack.

Mr, COSSEY said that if the hijacker opened one
of the chest packs on the airplane he probably would
remove the parachute and put the money in the chest pack

as it would be impossible to hold anything in his hand
when the parachute opened. Mr. COSSHY said it would

be quite possible to parachute from a 727 jet if the jet
was below 10,000 feet and flying at a very slow rate of
speed. The person jumping from the plane would have to
free fall to earth for several thousand feet to slow
himself down and get himself in position for the back
pack to open. Even an experienced parachutist would
experience considerable shock from the shute opening,
however, this would cause little or no personal injury.
He said that anyone who had six or seven practice jumps
could accomplish this as the first five jumps would be
on a static line and the subsequent jumps would be free
fall.

He said that jumping at night materially increases
the chance of injury and in this case he would consider
the parachutists chances of not being injured as "nill."
Mr. COSSEY said the back pack used by the hijacker is
non-steerable and he would have no chance of slowing down
or picking the spot on which to land. Also at night he
would be unable to gauge his distance to the ground which
would result in a much harder impact. It was his opinion
the skyjacker would suffer severe ankle and or leg injuries
from this jump.

Mr. COSSEY said that the fact the hijacker wore
street shoes would also increase the chance that he would
be injured on landing as the most experienced jumpers
wear jump boots or some rigid ankle support.

Mr. COSSEY expressed the opinion that the pilot
of the jet would notice some oscillation when the hijacker
departed the rear of the aircraft.

Washington, furnished the following information:
jwas home during the evening of
November 24, 1971 and heard a jet plane going over his house bé
sometime during the evening at approximately 9:00 p.m., b7c
although the exact time was not known. This aircraft was
extremely loud and sounded as if it were flying very low.
did not bother to get up and make an attempt to
see the aircraft as he felt he would not be able to see any-
thing due to the darkness.
|thought that this was someone flying
in to land at Portland. Aircraft landing at Portland £ on
are placed 3 i i j i

This jet was
éeaded south and slightly éast at an altitude that was unknown
aithough it was low enough and loud enough to shake the house.

He

said he had already checked with the Butte Office and the Butte
Office told him they had said nothing to the press or radio,

but he wondered where it came from.

I told him I could not tell him but it was not the
Seattle Office. He wanted to know if he could quote me on
this. I told him I did not know who he was going to quote
me to but the simple fact of the matter was that the FBI
in Seattle did not release ahy information about him to the

good, over-all, except that the hair did not recede guite so b7C

chin and cheek bone (of composite photo) are similar to
KH 1-8 and facial lines similar to KK 6-3; the neck and
chin of UNSUB appear as if he had been fat and lost weight,

leaving some flabby skin. Everything from nose up is good;
mouth is also good.

Over-all picture of composite makes UNSUB appear
younger than he actually is.

On November 24, 1971, I was at the Operations Office

of the Northwest Airlines, Seattle-Tacoma International Air-~
port, when |

LSeattle-rir 1 Bank, and

Seattle-rirst National Bank, arrived at that office. They
carried a white canvas bag which they advised contained
$200,000 in $20 denominations. The bag was encased in a large
leather satchel. The bag was removed from the leather satchel
and seal on it was cut by and I personally
examined the bag to insure that it did contain currency. I
did not count* the money. 'The package measured approximately
one foot by one foot by eight or nine inches. The money

was handed to| |

November 26, 1971
Dear Sir:

Now that most of the facts are in concerning last Wednesday's
Skyjacking are in, one thing is very apparent: If this one is suc-
cessful, we can expect others to follow. In any case, this was 4
unique method.

When I heard the hijacker requested and got parachutes, I sur-
mised they might be rigged so they wouldn't open. But no, the man
Might make a hostage jump with him, Then I began thinking "if I were. --~-~"—
dealing with a hijacker and he requested two parachutes, what would
I do? Being around an airport with all that avaation equipment.......%
Of course! Remembering back a while, when there was a furor about
how hard it is to locate a small plane that has crashed, there was
an outfit an the nightly news telling about an emergency transmitter
in a little plastic case which sent continuous signals to help locate
a downed craft. Why couldn't a smart guy stuff one of these into a
parachute case?

A little afterthought, though it doesn't mean a damn thing, is this
caper must have been pretty well planned, right? It has been spec-
ulated the hijacker must have had someone waiting to,pick him up.
parachuting is a fast way to come dowm, but not too accurate. If
our man jumped in cowlitz county, chances are he had a rough time of it.
(I know the area) I'd be willing to bet that if he jumped in the
area betweem Woodland and Portland, it was probably over one of the
few islands in the. Columbia River near the Portland Airport.

a couple of them are big enough to hit and uninhabited, too. Then
he could leave quietly by boat.

I really dontt know why I'm writing this except I have nothing
better to do at the moment. You guys probably have already thought of 7
all these things, anyway. Oh well, this can be your daily crakpot |
letter for whichever day it comes on.

l. He said that 90% of the skydivers are licensed
by the U.S. Parachute Association, P.O. Box 109, Monterey,
California. The license has a photograph of the individual;
however, he does not believe that the association maintains
these photos although they do maintain descriptions.

2. Northwest people have discussed this jump with a
pilot who has made 500 parachute jumps, including two at
night. He said that with a lighted target, a man could
come within 1000 feet of the target from the height that they
were flying on the night in question, and that you could
guide yourself as much as 45 degrees in either direction with
a plain survival type parachute, if you had the knowledge.

3. He stated that theyhave been passing information
on to us based on the "pressure bump" indicating that the
man had jumped north of Portland. He said it was entirely
possible that the man did not jump wheh this "pressure bump"
took place. It was entirely possible that he sat on the
end of the stairs to check out his reference points before
he jumped. If he did this for even a short time, he could
have easily Landed across the river in Oregon.

time to time to parachute clubs, flight instruction schools and
airports, etc., in an effort to identify the unknown subject
which undoubtedly will result in various field divisions receiving
calls on this case.

For the assistance of all offices in conducting
investigation and to evaluate complaints from citizens, the
following information is furnished:

information concerning e events prior to the hijacking of

Northwest Flight 305 from Portiand, Oregon, to Seattle,
Washington, on November 24, 1971: "

He was on duty | | for Flight 305
on November 24, 1971. He could not recognize any of the
passengers by name, as he handles on 4 daily basis thousands
of names. However, he remembers one particular individual who
stood out in his mind, It was raining at the airport that date
and all the passengers were making comments and jokingly stating
they were going to have to run through a great deal of rain in
order to board Flight 305 to Seattle. The only individual who
was not mixing with other passengers and joking about the rain
was a man whom he described as a white male, age 50, height
6'1" plus, 175 to 180 lbs., slender build, with black wavy hair,
smartly dressed, wearing a black raincoat "and carrying a black
attathe case. ;

stated he has a habit of noticing 'individuals
dressed in biack and this was the reason "he remembers the above-
described individual. The man described" above had a "blah"
attitude and was quite unaffected by the inclement weather
conditions prevailing at the time ,. which noticeably bothered

the rest of the passengers, i

is not sure whether he would recognize the
individual described above if he were to see him again,

On November 28, 1971, an intensive door to door
canvass being conducted in the area previously designated
as a search area for the hijacker. In the course of these
contacts, an individual in the Yagolt, Washington yjcinit

d her

advised that a two-seater grey ool ee aifplane arouse
Suspicions. She pointed out that =

smali landing strips in the vicinity of Yacoit and LaCenter,

| She stated that |

|

| probably out of the Portland, Oregon
area. This plane has a very large red light on the top of
the tail and it was described by individuals who had seen
it as "abnormally large" for a plane that size. Further,
this plane was flying in the vicinity of the small air
strips on the night of November 24, 1971, and never made a
landing and it was dark at the time. The plane made a
number of passes over various locations in that vicinity
with its landing lights on as if it was looking for some-
thing.

Also information was developed that a car, make
and model unknown at this time with an unknown license plate
was parked on a road in the vicnhity of the location at which
the aircraft was making the night passes on November 24,

Jprobably out of the Portland, Oregon

area. This plane has a very large red light on the top of
the tail and it was described by individuals who had seen
it as "abnormally large" for a plane that size. Further,
this plane was flying in the vicinity of the small air
strips on the night of November 24, 1971, and never made a
landing and it was dark at the time. The plane made a
number of passes over various locations in that vicinity
with its landing lights on as if it was looking for some~

thing.

Also information was developed that a car, make
and model unknown at this time with an unknown license plate
was parked on a road in the vichity of the location at which
the aircraft was making the night passes on November 24,

and also on November 25, 1971.

Information has been developed that the partial

reqistration number of the gray Cessna is

On November 28, 1971, JOHN MILLER, 10604 East
Marginal Way South, Trailer #41, who has no telephone of
his own, but who can be reached through the trailer court
telephone RO2-1800, was at the Centralia Police Department,
telephone 736-3374, and furnished the following information
telephonically.

He is age 58, unemployed and was just "snooping .
around" in his car around the Tenino-Ducota areaof
Washington which is about 10 miles norkh and a little east
of Centralia. At about 9:30 a.m. this date, while it was
still foggy, he drove past a "snag" (meaning a tree), about
75 feet high, located fairly close to State Highway 507
which is the old Olympia-Seattle Highway in Thurston County.

He observed hanging from near the top of this
snag something white which appeared to be cloth but which
he could not make out distinctly from his car on the road.
He was unable to estimate the size of this material because
he could not see it plainly through the mist.

He thought possibly this material might be some-
thing left over from the hijacker's déscent by parachute
from the hijacked plane a couple of days ago. He had no
other knowledge of the hijacking and was unable to give a
detailed description of the material he saw.

Officer | jof the Centralia Police b6

conversation and said that State Highway 507 is the "old,

Since this was used for a main thoroughfare. He said
this is in a different ¢ounty than is the location of
the tree mentioned by Mr. MILLER. He said it is about
20 miles from Olympia and about 50 miles from Centralia.

On instructions of ASAC BIBLER, the details of
the above were given to SA ROBERT H. WICK who is proceeding
to meet Mr. MILLER at the only bank in Tenino, located on
the main thoroughfare.

Mr. MILLER was going to meet him there and show
SA WICK the location of the snag.

ADDENDUM:

SA WICK advised by radio that he had gone to the
scene of the sighting of the "snag" and found that it
was an "illusion."

He said the thing that caused the complainant to
call in was a piece of gray bark on a tree which SA WICK
personally inspected and positively identified as the thing
the complainant referred to as a snag.
