Re: RANSOM MONEY

The ransom ppney_obtained by Northwest Ain} nes
was microfilmed by the The b6

original roli of film contained on one reel, was picked up b7C
by SA and sent to the Laboratory by
United Airlines courier. Since the above roll of film

contained the serial numbers of $230,000, it was necessary
to furnish the serial numbers of the $30,000 which was not
included in the ransom (the ransom being $200,000).

Because the Laboratory was having difficulty with
eliminating the serial numbers, they requested we obtain
the complete list of serial numbers which were deleted from
the original listing of the $230,000.

In the meantime, the | b6
had prepared another amount of ransom money oO b7c
and included in that, the $30,000 which had been taken

from the first ransom money as mentioned in paragraph one
above.

The | then loaned to us, b6
two reels of microfilm which contains their current ransom bic
money and which included the bills which had been taken from
the first ransom money. These two roils of microfilm were
sent to the Laboratory and were used to compile an accurate
list of the ransom money given to the hijacker.

All three reels of film returned by the Bureau
with the following dispositions:

The reel containing the ransom money given to the
hijacker is being maintained in the Seattle Office as evidence

Special Agent in Charge

Federal Bureau of Investigation

1015 Second Avenue

Seattle, Wash. 98104 February 1, 1972

Re: Your letter of Nov. 29th, '7l
Dear Mr. Milnes:

Thank you for expressing your appreciation of my observations. I see
someone else had observations along the same line and put them to
good use in a later hijacking. I fail to see, however, why the Air
Force allowed the parachute bugging to be printed in the papers.

I hear now there is great alarm concerning the number of hijackings
recently. Among other things, I'm sure another escape is feared.

I have given this matter some thought, and therefore, I have another
observation you might benefit fron:

The only obvious deviation from the established pattern "Mr. Cooper"
used that has not been tried is to actually jump from the plane

with the hostage, If the hijacker has a small plane or car as an
escape vehicle and a pre-determined jump-site, he could pull it off.

Parachutes can be designed to control the rate of descent via draft
holes in the top center of the silk, I believe. Therefore, the wgy
to foil the escape would be to radically vary the descent factor of
the parachutes. ie: one drops quickly, one floats for a long time.
This would separate the hijacker from his hostage and foi} his
drop; meanwhile helicopter teams could rescue the hostage, subdue
the hijacker, while the Air Force could track the escape vehicle.

This idea would probably not work as smoothly as presented here,
but it is a way to stop such an occurrence. You may rest assured
I keep these ideas to myself, and for added credulence, I was
granted a security clearance while employed at the Boeing Co.

Thank you for your time. I don't expect you to reply to this letter.
Just keep it in your hip pocket, just in case, Lf.

Re: HIJACKING OF NORTHWEST AIRLINES
FLIGHT #305,
NOVEMBLR 24, 1971 |

Dear Sir:

This will confirm an opinion given on February
3, 1972, by Assistant United States Attorney
'to Special Agent CHARLES E. FARRELL of this office, concerning
parachutes which were involved in this case.

The hijacker of Northwest Airlines Flight #305
was given four parachutes while the plane was on the ground
at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Two of these
parachutes were apparently used by the hijacker when he
parachuted from the plane. The remaining two parachutes
were still on the plane when it landed at Reno, Nevada,

One of the parachutes was intact, but the other had been
opened and three of the shroud lines had been cut.

| Northwest Airlines, Minneapolis,
contacted the Seattle Office on February 3, 1972, to inquire
as to the disposition of the two parachutes which had been
left on the plane. | ladvised he has been receiving
inguiries from the person who supplied the parachutes either
to have the parachutes returned to him, or have Northwest
Airlines pay for them.

| | when the above facts were discussed
with him, advised that no evidence, which includes both
of the parachutes, should be returned at this time, as this
