see subject's eyes; they saw him only with the dark glasses.
I told him with regard to witness | that this witness
thought the eyes were "good." This witness still maintains

however, that the forehead should be slightly broader; the

nose around the nostrils should be broadened and the cheeks

were to flat and should be made rounder.

requested that we send him a teletype

on this and also forward the artist's conception in which our
witness had drawn in his suggested changes. This was done.

threw the following out for our guidance,

instruction = consideration:

i. He said in our initial teletype, page 5, we
have one witness saying that the subject carried a dark colored
attache case and a paper bag 4"312"x18". He wonders if this
paper bag could have contained a jump suit and a pair of boots.

2. In the same teletype, there was mention that a
oy ety Sn cuffl ith the subject. I told him that I had

,already See this with the Agents involved and this was
a wrong choice of words and that the word should have been

witness had not had to separate the two, but merely stepped in

to end an argument.

I told him that we had used only law enforcement
personnel; that this was extremly rugged terrain and not the
kind of territory you could lay off in a grid and search
minutely at arm's length. He said to include in our next
teletype something about the terrain.

\ 4. He also said to include in our next teletype

A
gah Something about weather conditions in the drop area at the time
the drop occurred.
AX 5. He also wanted to know if we had given ~ —
A consideration to hiring a professional parachutist or make

Simulated drop with a dummy and following it to the scouna AE

He wondered if anything could be gained by such a maneuver

I pointed out to him that anything we did by way of
simulating the conditions would be a very broad approximation
since we didn't know exactly where the plane was, assuming
that the hijacker did go out at 8:12 PM, when they felt the
"oscillation", Since this would vary with such factors as
wind direction; which side of the flyway the plane happened
to be on at the time, etc. He said he understands this but
he would like us to think about it.

RE: SEARCH AREA

On 12/2/71, SAL | Case Agent at bé
Minneapolis, advised that Jof Northwest b7C
Airlines had some additional information concerning a possible
adjustment to the search area.

On 12/2/71, | Jadvised that the hijacked b6
airplane was being flown on automatic pilot during most of bic
the time it was in flight over the State of Washington and
on down south.

ladvised that because it was automatic pilot
the crew might not be able to detect a change in the attitude b6
of the flight caused by a 180-pound man parachuting from the bic
back stairway. However, he advised that he is examining the
flight recorder with a microscope which he expects will
reveal "little bobs" or anomalies where the automatic pilot
has mechanically made an adjustment to maintain the level
flight of the aircraft.

He noted that there was a "little bob" at approximately
8:09 p.m, and based on that finding and the_fact that the
air stairs had gone down sometime earlier, jJsuggested bé
that the search area probably should be extended to the north b7c
an additional three miles and to the south as far as the
Columbia River. These #xtensions of the search area would be

Woodland, Washington, inasmuch as that area is wooded and if he

were the hijacker, he would have jumped out over the
Willamette Valley in Oregon, inasmuch as this area is
more open and the ground would be soft as it would all be
freshly tilled. He stated he felt the oscillation in the
plane was probably the hijacker going on to the back

jumped over the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

He further advised that in his opinion the hijacker kept
the briefcase and other items he had with him in his
possession until he landed and then burned them. It was pointed
out to him that it was quite damp that night and this would
be quite difficult to which he replied, if he were doing this
he would have done this by using gasoline to start the fire.

I told him that I agreed with him and He suggested
we call Phoenix, Rortland and Butte and tell them not to
conduct their interviews until further advised by Seattle.

SHRODER also said if we got any kind of a break
on this case, we should be sure and tell the Bureau so that
they could prepare a national press release even before
we file on anybody. I told him we would.

RE: | SEARCH OF THE AIRCRAFT

On 12/2/71 SA [Philadelphia Division,
advised that he had reinterviewed| earlier that b6
day and in addition, | and SA] had gone to »%7¢

the airport at Philadelphia and looked over the after section
of a Boeing 727 with the assistance of a mechanic.

| Jadvised (hat _he_has theorized, based b6é
on the information given by that the hijacker b7C

might never have jumped from the aircraft. He said the
hijacker is apparently an intelligent individual and his
jumping under such unfavorable conditions was extremely
dangerous.

b6
b7C

advised that in inspecting the aircraft
they found that, as you look toward the rear of the plane, the
control handle which raises and lowers the air stairs is located
on the left side of the aireraft. Right next to it, farther
back, is a fairly large panel which hinges at the top with a
locking latch at the bottom. The latch can be opened either

from inside or outside. 164-281-4722

The purpose of the section is to permit inspection
of the aircraft in the tail section. He said there is a
similar inspection hatch on the right side of the aircraft.
However, on the right side the compartment is small and contains

exhause pipes which make it extremely hot in that area.
However, on the Lift side there is plenty of space for @ man
to hide, and flying wonder 10,000 feet would not be
uncomfortable. suggestion was that the hijacker
might have hidden in that compartment and when everyone

had left the plane and the area he could leave the aircraft.
ASAC BIBLER telephonically contacted the Las Vegas Office

to inquire as to whether or not these compartments had been
located and searched and the Minneapolis Office also was
contacted to determine where the plane is now located so
that a search can be made of those compartments in the event
they have not already been searched either by the FBI at
Reno or by the airlines own mechanics at any Location.

On 12/4/71 - are
called to suggest that there might be some possibi&ity that a

radio receiver was in the hijacker's attache case. This couaid be
used in conjunction with a low frequency transmitter on the
ground - to know when to drop. He said this would put one within
a3 mile radius from:a 10,000 foot level jump on target.

ee Sub N.

However, he noted too, that any transisterized receiver in use
should be reflected in the plane instruments - so pilot should be
able to tell that such was the case (transceiver in use)

been non-idents. They are sending us a teletype but he wanted
us to know that and he also wanted us to know jwants
to be thoroughly re-interviewed since she feels she can now

recall things which she did not furnish previously. They are
going to do this in the morning.

He said that she told him that the subject told her
he wanted to take off with the ladder down, the gear down
and "we'll be flying with 15 degrees." h

told us he thought this was significant

Since this would indicate the subject knew a lot about b6
airplanes, perhaps that he might have worked on the 727 b7C
at one time. He also thought it was significant that "we'll

be flying with 15 degrees" since this is pilot talk, meaning

15 degrees of flaps. I asked him if entioned whether

or not the subject gave instructions as to the course to fly.

He said that the subject did not, that he did not grve
any M@adings, he Gia not outline any course, but simply said

to take him to Mexico.

They will be reinterviewing her tomorrow and
furnish a teletype.

Live been hatching this plot a lor time-~in fact ever sime I got out of the

real hard, Put no one appreciated ny ability. Now the whole world is appreciating

when we arrived, And two sets of parachutes should be throw in for good neasure,

I wasntt about to take chonces. 'This was kind of a milk-run so chances were 2gaist
an air-mershsl being on board, This wuld de the first major heist in the Northwest
ever, That Green Baret training in Viet Nan cane in handy for somthing.

I stayed in the back close to this stewardess, Dontt think aiybvody really knew
what was coning off, except the crew, angthey were very efficient snd cooled %.

\
Thoy know snough not to spook ne. TI had-long before decided that ny life and that

s '
of a few others were well worth the risk for ali that money, Besides before I hed netAthe
to show for ny life, now I do. I grant you noney isn't ah, just 99% and besides
soneday I can mske another mint off my nemoirs.

Circling the area for two end a half hours, we finally settled dom, 'They a

that fancy dec, when I first handed her tho note and declared myself, actually thought
I wanted a piece of her instead of the action. She got so she treated me with a Little
