interviewed and provided the following information:

During the Spring of the year, 1971, two white
males appeared at the Eastern Airlines Counter at La Guardia
Airport and attempted to purchase a ticket to Miami, Florida.
The ticket agent became suspicious of the credit card used
by these men and attempted to stall them. When the two men
realized that a problem had arisen, they departed the ticket
counter leaving behind their baggage.

The property left behind by these two men became
the property of the Port Authority Police Department and was
subsequently opened and searched. Located in this baggage
were the following personnel items:

Your hijacker - A "smoke jumper" probably, whose I.D.
might be in the personnel files of District 6, U.S.D. Ag, Portland. im
A person probably who had done some jumping, fits the general
description, and was seen in company of a person who claimed to
have piloted a 727 on several missions to drop "personnel and
supplies" and who had jumped from a 727 "in training we all
jumped. It was a hell of a thrill," who could have inadvertently
ox deliberately given the technical information. He, the pilot,
would 'have to have been an employe of the C.I.A. or one of its

private companies. To have known "smoke 'jumpers" he might also

have flown for the USDA during fire season.

When I fixst saw the sketch of the hijacker, my reaction was
"Z have seen that man." Then I said aloud, "impossible." But on

later recall, 1 believe yes - it fits the pattern.

Plight 45, Northwest 727, Monday, September 13. "The Pilot"
got on at Miles city. Stewardess put a "Seattle" pin on the back
of the seat. He did not occupy the seat after Missoula, and the

| stewardess removed the pin after Sand Point.

) At either Missoula or Sand Point, four persons got on with

this "pilot," who caused quite a commotion by their identical dress.
The man directly behind me objected violently, and asked

"what the hell's going on." And that is when I am sure I looked

into a face similar to the one in the sketch, as he replied -

2s
+.
— _

"knock it off. We each purchased one seat - and that's all you bought. "
One of the others murmured a word which I thought might be "paratroopers"
but probably was "smoke jumpers." The man apologized. |

The voice was about two to three notes below normal. Even
and pleasant. And even the words, "knock it off" had no rasp or
harshness. ,

The costumes were totally black. Leather or shiny plastic.
The coats hung from shoulders to knees, straight without any form
fit. The caps were a half~kepi. Instead of a bill the right edge
was twisted into an upright piece in the middle of the forehead.

All wore the type glasses in the sketch. At the hinge, the
earpiece was wide, but of a lacy pattern. No part of the eye
visible. |

Two o£ them sat in the back seat left. The "pilot: said
to the others to come up front, and he would Yarrange" so they could
sit together, and talk. So XY got a height comparison. The pilot
about 5' 10". The next one 6' 1" or 6' 2" and slim, slim. The
third man 5' 11" or 6', and broader.

Question6---

1. Is there a military specialty center, or hospital at

Sand Point - for either survival training, jumping or recuperation?

(more}

DB Cooper-4875

==== Part 17 · PDF page 50 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-4876 ====
-_ 2. Iam coPenere is no Dept. of Ag. smoke jumpers camp

at Sand Point, but there are at least four in Montana and Idaho,
all of whose personnel 'records are at Portland.

3. Y think I recall an article on Smoke Jumpers, where it
described the outlandish costumes some units adopted.

4. If the C.I.A. or its companies used a 727 for personnel

drops why keep it classified information? If they have, the Chinese

aintelligence would certainly have 'known it by now. How many pilots

or jumpers have returned to private life?

or any of their overating companies have ever trained pilots,,

pereoneil and supplies: in: other inaccessible placea..
'Ask them how many: pilots they have thus trained?

Ask them how, many,,of these men have returned to
private 1ife?-

Ask them if they: ever used these' places to: drop
Taiwan personnel over south China?*

This has to do with the $200,000 hijacking of a 727...

In Seot.. on a 727 Northwest orient flight from
Minneapadts to Svattle,, with a seat partner from Miles City

TO Missoula,. who said he had flown. a 727. "Por the military'
and mad¢numerous low level' drops of personnel and supplies.
Had he ever jumped from a 7272°"Yes,.we all had to jump.in
training..It was a heli of a thrill."

But Boeing's Pik... mat fairly screamed= there hasn''t
been. a singte 727 in the military inventory.. There hasn't
béen a single military pilot trained in. a 727, nor have they
ever been used in jump school.. No,, there has never been
a flight manual orepared,. telling how. to set flaps for jumps.
If the military had«ver used such a program, we would have
had a: screaming headline and a full page story. with pictures...

At Sandpoint,. Idaho, this "bilot"' got back on the plane
with four identically dressed mon,, whom IY believe were U\S.0.A..
"smoke jumpers"). Two of them sat across the aisle, and the
other two went forward where the pilot sald he could arrange

for them to set together and talk. Ohe of them fits the heighte--

called on December 21, 1971, and advised that in
response to a letter_we had written fo the Boeing Company,
he recalls having a working for him who he
fired in 1962 or 1963 for unbecoming conduct. He said that
bears a very strong resemblance to the hijacker, had
a swarthy complexion, had either a glass eye or a cocked eye,
was a pilot and a motorcycle rider. He endeavored to locate

his file but was unable to do so. For some strange, inexplainable
reason, it has apparently disappeared.

I told him I would have an Agent contact him in the
immediate future concerning this matter.

Who in the hell do some of you people think you are,and what the hell
do you 'think you're doing.

I suceeded in pulling off one of the most successful, talked about
crimes of today. Then some guy credits himself with the masterpiece and
thanks everybody, for their cooperation an hospitality... Well Damnit, this
is making me look very stupid. These prank letters must stop....

No one was indangered, the caper was only committed to show the un-
believing world that a perfect crime was possible. ( I believe it must be
perfect since the F.B.I. are still investigating in the Southern part of
Wash). 4

I have notified the F.B.I. asking that they grant me Aunesty.

SAC, SEATTLE Svs E.

NORJAK Ww.

On 12/20/71 I talked to SAC HELD in Minneapolis.
X told him that we had made extensive efforts to search the
area where the hijacker is believed to have jumped, without
discovering any evidence of his whereabouts or identity.

The Northwest Airlines people here have advised
that they would be glad to simulate his flight, having a
man jump to see whether the crew experienced the same
reaction as recorded on the initial flight, and if the
flight recorder records the same movement of the plane.
If it did not, then it would appear that there was little use
searching in the area we were searching in. If it did have
the same reaction, then we would have to search an area
approximately 2% miles by 6 miles of virgin timber.

I told SAC HELD I thought it would be well if
possible to have the same airplane used with the same crew
but I did not see any reason for them to actually jump in
the same area since it would be too dangerous and we may
lose the jumper, but I did think it woud be a good idea to
simulate it in an area where the jumper could be recovered.

He advised he had taked to Mr. NYROP about this
and that he had instructed that the crew and plane be put
together for this purpose as soon as possible.

I inguired of him the status of their proposed
offer of a reward and he advised Mr. NYROP had told him
that the Seattle P-I Secret Witness Program had announced
a $5,000 reward, which was true, and that he would give
consideration to making another $5,000 offer for information
furnished to Northwest Airlines or the FBI, furnishing the
identity of the hijacker and evidence to assist in his
conviction.

Date. 11/26/71

On this date, the below Listed individuals examined
a Boeing Aircraft, Type 727, which belongs to Northwest Orient
Airlines, and which had been utilized as their flight number 305
on that date. This examination took place at 11:25 P.M. at the
Municipal Airport in Reno, Nevada.

Prior to the initiation of this search, information had
been furnished to the below agents by a member of the crew
'who had flown this airplane into the Reno airport to the effect
that the unknown subject involved in the hi-jacking of this
airplane had been seated in the rear right-hand window seat
of this plane. '

Upon boarding this aircraft, it was determined that the
rear row of seats on this airplane were numbered 18, and the
right window'seat was designated 18F, On the seat numbered 18E
a black clip-on tie was observed. This black tie contained a
tie clasp, yellow gold in color: with a white pearl circular
stone in the center. The label on this tie indicated it to be
a "Towncraft™ tie and bore the store name of Penneys Number 3.
it further bore a label showing it to be a "Snapper" patent type
tie. On the floor directly in front of seat number 18D, the
'exterior canvas cover for a chest type parachute was observed

along with the handle utilized for releasing this parachute.
The label on this canvas covering indicated it to be Pack Part
Number 4511876B and indicated the date of manufacture to have
been October, (year illegible). The flap on this canvas exterior
contained a sewn on white label with the notation SSS # 5S and
COSS. This flap had also been stenciled with the name JOHNSON.
° An opened parachute which apparently had been removed
from the canvas parachute cover described above was found spread
out over seats 17C and 17B. This parachute was of a pink-orange
color.

On seat 18B, an unopened back type parachute was
observed. A card in the pocket of this parachute reflected it
to be a Conacol type parachute, number 60-9707 and made by the
Pioneer Parachute Company. 'This card indicated it was last
inspected on May 21, 1971.

A search throughout the entireaairplane did not
reflect any additionallitems of an evidenciary nature.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

The work of the FBI and its personnel was truly oo
outstanding during the November 24 hijacking of Northwest's
Portland-Seattle flight.

We wish to express our Sincere thanks and admiration
for the tireless efforts of the FBI officials and agents who
worked and assisted us.

All of your personnel demonstrated a devotion to
duty that was most impressive. Many of them worked around
the clock with our people, providing valuable guidance and
direction.

Our special thanks go to those agents with whom we
were in direct and continuing contact. This group includes
agents J. Earl Milnes and Paul Bibler in Seattle,
in Portland, Harold E. Campbell, Jr. an
| in Las Vegas/Reno and Richard Held, Robert Kent,
|here in the Twin

cities.

I'm certain there a number of other FBI personnel
who operated behind the scenes who also deserve our sincere

'appreciation. KA-8)/- 1976

In closing, let me extend my personal thanks—to————

It was a pleasure talking to you this morning. This is a fantastic idea and it
is probably wrong. I certainly hope it is wrong. I don't believe in hijackers and I
would be interested in reward money.

downtown Seattle, That individual was drunk. During con-~
versation with the individual, learned that the
individual was a sky-diver an ad made approximately 75
jumps. Further, he isaimotorcycle enthusiast and is par-
ticularly fond of the trail bikes that he rides through the
woods,

Lower then concluded that an individual who is
both a sky-diver and a motorcycle enthusiast could well be
identical with the hijacker. He concluded this because he
could have left his trail bike in the area where he intended

to parachute from the plane and thereby make his getaway on

Memorandum

TO 7 Sac, SEATTIE (16-82) DATE? 32/22/71

BROM SA ROBERT H. WICK , SuL- fed x

SUBJECT: NORJAK
On December 22, 1971,| | Aberdeen, bé
Washington, advised that bhe had heard that the FBI was extending its invest- bic

Agation into the Aberdeen area in captioned matter. She was advised that
the Bureau was answering inquiries in many localities.

She reported that the evening of the hijacking, she had the television
on ang was listenfing to reports of the hijack while the plane was enroute Seattle
from portland. While listening to this report, a helicopter flying eazternly
went over her house a an unusally dow altitude. She was unable to further identify
the aircraft, but thought it may have something to do with the hijacking.

Although this, in itself is of little investigative value, the question
arose that the unsub may have had an accompliee amd was removed from the ground
after landing by aircraft. Has the FAA and/or the suitable monitoring agency beerf
contacted for identification of all aircraft in the pertient area where the hijacker
could have landed, It has been the writer's experience to be a passenger in a
small plane south of the Codumbia River near Mount Rxkex Hood and hear radio
FAA Auburn report they had our plane on radar and told us exactly where we were
as welt as what to expect in other aircraft passing through the area.

| |California, was interviewed at the Skylark Airport
a Sinore, California, and furnished the following
information:

Upon hearing the newscasts and reading the papers
concerning the skyjacking of a commercial aircraft in Seattle,
Washington, on November 24, 1971,' and upon seeing an artists
conception of the individual who perpetrated this crime.

C ladvised he believes he talked to a man who closely
resembles the subject during July or August 1971. Based upon
his conversation with this individual he strongly suspects
the man may be the person connected with this crime.

recdllied that he talked to this man for
approximately ten to fifteen minutes concerning different
aspects of parachute jumping and during this conversation

the man asked several unusual ques: ch as how would

one go about jumping out of jets, lspeci tically
recalls telling the man it:could be done the door of the
aircraft opened inward or if it had a rear stairwell that
could be raised and lowered. The man appeared interested .
and they discussed this further, to the point where air
Speed and drag was talked about, The fact was brought up

that full flaps and lowered landing gear would supply the
drag needed to exit from a jet. t

The man also asked| |where jump centers were
'located in the northwest, | jtold him about three
locations in the State of Washington, one by the Boeing ;
Air Field in Seattle, one on the Washington side of the |
Columbia River, just north of Portland, Oregon, and the other
center inbetween, The man was apparently interested, but did |
not_right down the names or locations of those centers mentione
by]

Fa stated it was his opinion that a person
contemplating a skyjacking of a commercial aircraft would ask

questions such as those purposed. He recalled at the tine
' these questions were asked he thought it was strange as nobody
elise has ever purposed such questions to him, "

In addition, they discussed altitude of jumps, but
[___]who was thinking in terns of altitude records, answered b6
n terms, implying world record altitudes, oxygen supply,: tine b7c
and distance of free fall.

also recalled the individual rather vividly b6
in his mind because ne wore "Cochrane"boots, He explained that bic
Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not
worn by teams, clubs,-sport or novice. He stated that serious
jumpers wear a French boot and first time jumpers have gone with
street shoes, tennis shoes, sandals and even barefooted, but
the Cochrane boots were noticable because they are riot used by

too many people, .- -

He also stated he believed the man may have jumped .

Elsinore Paricenter, Inc. He advised that b7C

cach person that junps must fill out a registration card before

' jumping, regardless of how much prior experience the person has
had elsewnere, Tnese cards are maintained at Elsinore Paricentcr,
On succeeding jumps, the cards are referred to if the individual

On 12/3/71| |

Elsinore Paricenter, Inc., Parachute Junping
Center located at Elsinore, California, made available
registration cards or parachutists who have jumped from the'
center. SAs EDVARD A. ROMAUOFF and reviewed
approximately 12,000 cards and picked out those with
physical descriptive date matching that of the hijacker,
including ages between 35 - 55 years, weight between 150 ~
190 and heirht from 518 = 611, Also included were a nunber
of younrer borderline cards. Four nundred and thirty three
registration cards were photographed, representing those
jumpers who registered at the Elsinore center since 1969
anc fit within the above descriptive limits.

| jadvised that registration cards prior
to 1969 do not contain height data and estimated that there
are approxinately 18,000 cards on file prior to that year and
dating back to 1957. ;

Copies of the artist's conception and the
descriptive data of the unknown hijacker were displayed to
pilots, jumupmasters, riggers, mechanics, a dispatcher and
to the owners of tho junp center and none of then were able
to recall anyone similar at: the center.

On 12/3/71, | | who was at the Elsinore
center for the day, furnished further information as set
forth on an FD-302:

nished the following information:

Concerning the yal he talked to sometime during
July or August 1971, who | |believes could be identical to
the subject that hijacked the Northwest Airlines aircraft on
November 24, 1971, he recalled that the man he talked to must
have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed
Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that
he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough
to buy a "P, C,", meaning Para~Commander type parachute, the

kind used by parachute enthusiasts and most sport jumpers.

[_____Jadvised he recalled this while studying the
Government memorandum containing the description of the man who
hijacked the aircraft on November 24, 1971. He further advised
that he doubted that the man he talked to belonged to any para-
chute or jumping clubs inasmuch as.the average age of jumpers
is between 25 to 28 years and they would not hang around with an
"old guy like that", and too because most clubs in California
have disbanded in the last year and a half.

Concerning clubs and their locations, | Jadvised
that they could be identified through the U. S. Parachute Asso-
ciation which prints a brochure with the clubs in alphabetical
order by states.

- information: ,

Concerning an individual who talked to him
at Skylark Field at Elsinor, California who resenbics
the artist's conception of the hijacker of _the Northwest
aircraft in Seattle on November 2h, 1971, [__ tated bé
he has reviewed his thoughts and is certain he can ' b7c
narrow the time span to the middle or late part of
August 1971 when this conversation occurred. He still
believes it was strange that a person would ask questions
about jumping out of jet aircraft and discuss air speed
then have something like the hijacking that occurred ,
happen a snort tine later. He also stated that it may
be coincedental but he saw an advertisement on pages
46 and 7? of Look magazine dated August 2h, 1971 showing
a parachutist jumping out of a jet, aircraft. He stated
this may have stimulated questions by someone seeing this
advertisenont, however, he is still concerned since the
individual he spoke to resembles the artist's conception
of the hijacker. He does not know the name of the man
he talked to and has not seen him since. He did state
he believes he would recognize the man if he sees him

On 12/10/71, flight records for the month of
August 1971 were photographed at the Elsinore center. These
records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude
fron which they jumped, the name of tho pilot and the date.

Review of these flight records on 12/14-15/71 re-
vealed that the last names on these records matched thirty
one individuals whose descriptions matched those of the
hijacker and jumped from the Elsinore center during the
month of August 1971, It was noted thas the last namo on
the flight record does not mean that the jurper was the
person whose registration card was pulled and photographed.
It should also be pointed out that there were 29,10
parachute jumps made fron the Pisitore center durfne "he
year 1970. The' total number of jumps at the center for
the year 1971 exceeds Last year's total and will be in
excess of 30,000 this year,

On 12/16/71, picke? out eight of b6
the remaining thirty one cards stating he personally knows bic
these individuals and they do not remotely resemble the
artist's conception. The remaining twenty three cards
represonted individuals does not know or the name
ves familiar but he could nov recall what the man looked

ike,

On 12/20/71, Ree
reviewed the remaining reristration cards and eliminated
eight more based on personal knowledge of the individual
and the fact they are known to the center and do not re-
semble the artist's conception.

Following are the reristration cards from the
Elsinore center bearing the nane, address and telephone
nunber of junipers who are unknown to[ and/or the b6

at Elsinore, California, and furnished the following
' Information:

Upon hearing the newscasts and reading the papers
concerning the skyjacking of a commercial aircraft in Seattle,
Washington, on November 24, 1971, and upon seeing an artists
conception of the individual who perpetrated this crime.

advised he believes he talked to a man who closely b6
resembles the subject during July or August 1971. Based upon bic
his conversation with this individual he strongly suspects
the man may be the person connected with this crime.

[ae tecdied that he talked to this man for b6
approximately ten to fifteen minutes concerning different bICc
aspects of parachute jumping and during this conversation

the man asked several unusual ques? ch as how would

one go about jumping out of jets, | lspecificatly
recalls telling the man it'could be done the door of the,
aircraft opened inward or if it had a rear stairwell that
could be raised and lowered, 'The man appeared interested

and they discussed this further, to the point where air
speed and drag was talked about, The fact was brought up
that full flaps and lowered landing gear would supply the
drag needed to exit from a jet.

The man also ask where jump centers were b6

'Located in the northwest. old him about three b7C
.locations in the State of Washington, 'one by the Boeing
Air Field in Seattle, one on the Washington side of the
Columbia River, just north of Portland, Oregon, and the other

' center inbetween. The man was apparently interested, but did

not_ right down the names or locations of those centers mentioned

by

[sd stated it was his opinion that a person b6
contemplating a skyjacking of a commercial aircraft would ask b7c
questions such as those purposed. He recalled at the time

' these questions were asked he thought it was strange as nobody

In addition, they discussed altitude of jumps, dut
eel he was thinking in terss of altitude records, answered
n terms, implying world record altitudes, oxygen supply,: tine

and distance of free fall,

L ecoanlo2s° recalled the individual rather vividly
in his mind because he wore "Cochrane"boots, He explained that
Cochrane boots are peculiar to military jumpers and are not '
worn by teams, clubs,:sport or novice. He stated that serious
jumpers wear a French boot and first time jumpers have gone with
etreet shoes, tennis shoes, sandals and even barefooted, but

the Cochrane boots were noticable because they are not used by
too many people, .- - -

He also stated he believed the man may have jumped
on several occasions at the Elsinore cent
would be a registration card.on file with

Elsinore Paricenter, Inc. He advised that
Hps must fill out a registration card before
jumping, regardless of how much prior experience the person has

had elsewhere, These cards are maintained at Elsinore Paricenter,
'On succeeding jumps, the cards are referred to if the individual

is not known, and a receipt for jump tickets is given to the
jumper with no name or further recording of the jump being made.
An individual with prior experience and a license issued by the
United States Parachute Association (USPA) would have the USPA
ticense number written on the registration card,

[ anal advised that USPA records are maintained at |
USPA Headquarters, care of Post Office Box 109, Monterey,
California. The USPA Headquarters are on Canary Row, Monterey.
He pointed out that Licenses issued by the USPA necessitate

that the applicant furnish a photograph of himself to USPA
Headquarters before the license is issued He was not sure if

a copy of the photograph was maintained in USPA files. He noted
that licenses: must be renewed each year, ;

Leewae! Ws unable to recall the name of the man he
talked to not sure if the man mentioned his name. He
estimates, that there have been some 8,000 to 10,000 jumpers at'

Concerning the al he talked to sometime during
July or August 1971, the De ipelieves could be identical to b6é
the subject that hijacked the Northwest Airlines aircraft on bic
November 24, 1971, he recalled that the man he talked to must
have been a smoker of Raleigh Cigarettes because he observed.
Raleigh coupons in the man's possession and remarked to him that
he smoked those cigarettes with the coupons and could save enough
to buy a "P. C,", meaning Para~Commander type parachute, the

kind used by parachute enthusiasts and most sport jumpers.

advised he recalled this while studying the b6é
Government memorandum containing the description of the man who b7C
hijacked the aircraft on November 24, 1971. He further advised
that he doubted that the man he talked to belonged to any para-
chute or jumping clubs inasmuch as the average age of jumpers

is between 25 to 28 years and they would not hang around with an
Old guy like that", and too because most clubs in California
have disbanded in the last year and a half.

Concerning clubs and their locations,[__——s advised bé6
that they could be identified through the U. S. Parachute Asso- BIC

he has reviewed his thoughts and is certain he can ' bic

46 and 7 of Look magazine dated August 2), 1971 showing
a parachutist jumping out of a jet aircraft. He stated
this may have stimulated questions by someone secing this
advertisement, however, he is still concerned since the

On 12/10/71, flicht records for the month of
August 1971 were photographed at the Elsinore center. These
records contain the last names of the jumpers, the altitude
from Which they jumped, the name of the pilot and the date.

Review of these flight records on 12/14-15/71 re-
vealed that the last numes on these records matched thirty
one individuals whose descriptions matched those of the
hijacker and jumped from the Elsinore center during the
month of August 1971. It was noted that the last name on
the flignt vecord does not mean that the jumper was the
person whose registration card was pult ed and photographed,
It shonld also be pointed out that there were 29,10
parachute jumps made from the klsisfore conter durfn the
year 1970. The' totdl number or jumps at the center for
the year 1971 exceeds last year's total and will be in
excess of 30,000 this year.

the remaining thirty one cards stating he personally knows

these individuals and they do not remotely resemble the

LA 16-197 SUB A

HAR
Yor the information of Seattle, on 12/16/71
pointed out that on the flight records from b6
Fisinore all the altitudes of jumps made were from 2,500 bic

to 12,500 feet. We explained that snort jumpers and
parachute enthusiasts all jump from altitudes in nultiples
of 1,000 starting from 2,500, 3,500, 4,500 ete., with the
exception of 2,800 which is the competitive height for
target jumping. He stated that. the 10,000 foot level is
reminiscent of Air Porce training. He referred to Air Force
phanphiet number APP 160-10-3 entitled "Your Rody in Flight"
which places 10,000 feet as the maximum altitude considered
safe withont oxyren, | surmised that a man with

Air Force experience may be the type of person that should
be considered a suspect. ~ '

-— oe

On the other hand, me pointed out that parachuticts
have ditferent classes of licenses, A, 8, C and D class
licenses, To hold a D license a jumper must make two night
jumps as well as other qualifications. <A person with a D
licnese is an experienced jumper,

On 12/27/71,
| Northwest Airlines, called and advised he
would arrive in Seattle at 12:40 PM on 12/28/71,
on Northwest Airlines Flight #15 so that he may confer
with Agents of this office in order to plan for the

possible to determine the identity of the person who
drew up the flight chart map from McChord AFB so that
he can discuss with them the time schedule and minute
variations and locations of the flight at given times
during the night.

a letter which they got from the files of the Airlines

letters which were sent to the WASHINGTON POST and several]

The Lab report says that this is the same style
of type and certain limited characteristics suggest the

typewriter. For this reason they want us to check him
out today, if possible, and advise the Bureau by telephone

rt believe| lTacoma,

Ap7c
Wash. 98406, should be checked out as a possible suspect in the

hijacking because he: (1) is a sky diver, (2) was absent for
at least three days over Thanksgiving, (3) is somewhat similar to
the picture and description, (4) is a loner, (5) has a late
model T-Bird Wa Licence [______]Mason County license may indicate

he is familiar with southwest Washington.

I certainly hope i can be of some help in finding this
sky pirate, although this is just a hunch!

I am sure you remember when those gas station attendants
were killed...executed. I was in my late teens then and read
about that horrible episode. f called the Seattle Police
Station, I am sure it was, and told them I realized that all
those men killed had last names that had four letters in them
and they all had a meaning in every day life. For instance,
Pair was one of the names. I: do not remember the Cane ofe
hand. Now this was just a hunch but it was in the papers the
next day as being a possibility that the killers worked this way
for some weird. reason.

As for the guy who parachuted out of the plane with
$200,000 and gave a name as D. B. Cooper---that's hardly his |
real name---I think he may have used a name that is. part. of his
real name, like Cooper Beatty, which could be possible. He
is a sort of clever fellow, he appeared calm and did not seem '
to have a care in the world, according to passengers. It could
be Cooper Beatty is another alias--but ,maybe not. He may be
jaughing up his sleeve, thinking he pulled this off, just
because the authorities did not think of such a simple thing f

as reversing his name---reversing the last name with the first

two initials.

With regard to the recent hijacking of a plane involving
a $200,000 ransom payoff:

My son has a friend who drops. by the house occasionally.
One evening about a week ago the friend came by and, in the
process of the conversation, he mentioned. that he was going to
have a $200,000 wedding. Jokingly I asked if by some chance
he was in on the hijacking of the airplane. His answer was |
yes, and my uncle who lives in the vicinity of Vancouver,
Washington, even looks like the hijacker and even owns a

Cessna 310, is an ex-paratrooper and does sky diving.

The last name of the friend's father is The

b7C
father is a pilot and works for City Transfer in Kent, Wash.

My son informed me that his friend or his friend's father
went to Portland or vicinity at about the time the hijacking'

transpired,

In regards to "D. B. Cooper" who hijacked the North- .

west Orient Airlines 727 on the night of November 24, 1971,

_i have the following information:

D6

There is a man named who works as
b7C

_Oregon. The man fits the

physical description and wears dark glasses most of the time.
After the time of the hijacking he has become very much less
sociable. The man's history has been somewhat unstable as
far as employment, which includes work in a bank. The above
information is hearsay but was convincing enough to be very

believable in addition to other information I cannot ac-
