SUGGESTIONS FROM SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG PERSONNEL FOR EQUIPMENT .AND

SEARCH TECHNIQUES ~

Every searcher to have leather gloves and waterproof shoes

Use toilet paper for marking extremities of each grid and use skirmish
Line with no more than 5' foot intervals between searchers in heavily .
wooded areas, Then at extremity of search grid entire Line can be swung
around using one grid extremity marked by paver as guide for next grid,
Paper will disintegrate after short time in elements,

Terrain is very difficult with windfall and alders in profusion in

area near point A. Very slow movement of the line is advised with

all personnel instructed to look up as they search as well as on

ground.

Recommend no more than six hours of search per day. 10 minute breaks
every hour and no more than 30 minute break for lunch with field _
rations. ; (64-8) - £635
Recommend supplying each searcher with candy bars on daily basis to
give quick pickup and replen&sh calorie use which is approximately
600 calories per hour in heavy wooded area. It is recommended that
FBI supply these items which can be secured wholesale through contact
at Longview.

eadffRedlo7g

Recommend straight line at all times with the enti
a suspect area needs intensive search,

Recommend an agent at the extremity of the Lines o
contro) speed and Line movement. One agent every |
purposes with no more than 5 foot intervals in hea

- 2 =

Recommend one max on the Line have a compass to shoot bearings to
keep grid intact,

Recommend several agents behind the skirmish line to insure that
Line maintains itself straight with no straggling.

It was pointed out that there is heavy concentration of coyotéss
which gives distinct possibility that if hijacker did hit the ground
his body could be completely stripped of flesh and clothing.

In event a man with a dog is required charge is $175 ver day if

to be used exclusively on the search,

Suggest if Army is approved that a basic training company in last
stages of training be employed due to good physical condition.
Suggest skirmish line have smoke grenades in event one of searchers
is injured and evacuation is necessary by helicopter. Will guide
evacuation helicopter to scene with no delay.

On steep places encountered these could be skirted and searched with
field glasses since in most steep places there is Little growth of
foliage and trees, .

GENERAL INFORMTION RE PROPOSED COMMAND POST & BIVOUAC AREA

it is suggested that in view of Army troops being used that
if occasion oresents itself a suggestion should be made that a
military helicopter should be standing by at search area to assist
in fly over to determine that skirmish Line is kept straight and
within the specified grid area and to immediately check out suspicious
items which cannot be reached from ground,

NORJAK

Assistant Director BATES called from Divisbn6é. He
said that they had a call from the Public Affairs Officer
of the Army.

The Army is sending out to their Public Affairs
officers in the field certain questions and answers which they
anticipate using in connection with publicity in regard
to the search.

Question 1: Is the Army assisting the FBI in its
search for a sky jacker? Answer: Yes. At the request of
the FBI approximately 200 U. S. Army troops from Ft.Lewis
are assisting in the search for a sky jacker, believed to
have parachuted in the vicinity of Portland, Oregon, on
the 24th of November 1971. There is a 'possibizity this
sky jacker could have died in his jump. (The Bureau suggested
to the Army &ahat they change Portland to LaCenter, Washington)

Question No. 2 relates purely to the justification for
the U. S. Army, which is supposed to be defending this country,
being used in a situation like this and in answer to it the
Army shidlthey feel it is justified since xk it came at
the request of a responsible government agency and is related
to their training program.

BATES did not give me this verbatim since we would not
be concerned with it.

Thex No. 3 is another Army question which raises
is such support legal and the Army answer is Yes.

BATES suggests that we make, no comment other than to
say, Yes, the Army is assisting us in the search and we

have no further comment.

To : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) pare: 3/29/72

FROM : SA J. ROBERT SUTTHOFPF (
a

suBJEcT; NORJAK

At approximately 2:30 PM our time I talked to
SA HENRY SCHUTZ from the Bureau.

SCHUTZ requested that I be sure to get word to you
that he expects to hear from you tonight to talk over the
search situation.

He also advised it will be necessary to get a
"good" teletype off to the Bureau tonight relative to the
discontinuance of the search for the time being. This tele-
type should generally point out that the Army has withdrawn its
troops, that the search has been arduous and physically
exhausting and that the troops are being withdrawn primarily
to give them some rest; also in view of the approaching
holiday weekend. It should point out that agents have been
with the troops throughout the search and that the agents
involved also have undergone an arduous and tiring experience
and can use rest too. It should point ont that UACB
agents from the nearby offices at least will be released to
return to their offices, and that either the same agents
or replacements for them will rejoin the search with the
Army troops at whatever time this resumption of the search
is established.

a previous letter was written by this unknown individual

on 2/24/72 with identification of a U.S. $1 bill, Serial
Number For the information of Seattle and
Los Angeles, this letter was received by San Francisco
and the unknown letter writer_described the look alike

of D. B. COOPER as living at in San Francisco
bse, 5°7", of

From this description, | |
interviewed on 3/2/72 at| |
San Francisco, and was eliminated as
a suspect since he is 5'6", 155 lbs., and was almost
completely bald with a few wisps of blond hair.

Although he did not recall his whereabouts on
11/24/71, his description does not in anyway match that
of the hijacker of captioned plane. Unless advised to
the contrary by Seattle. no further investigation con-
cerning Suspect is being conducted at San

On 4/10/72 XI called SAC CALAME at Sait Lake City
and advised him that in examining the photograph of the
subject of the SALJAK case, it appeared that he had a striking
resemblance to the subject of the NORJAK case. I asked him
to forward photographs of the subject to us immediately, to
Portland and Minneapolis, for display to the witnesses and
to establish the whereabouts of McCOY during the pertinent
period.

SAC CALAME called me back and advised that in
examining the material obtained during their investigation,
they have determined that McCOY is a makeup artist. One of
the stewardesses in their case described the subject as being
swarthy or dark or possibly a Mexican. He had a dark mustache.
However, they have located some mustache paste in his effects.

In addition, they have determined that using the
name of R. McCOY, which is his name, he made a flight from
Salt Lake City to Denver and the same flight from Denver
to Los Angeles one week earlier on the same airlines.

The similarities in the SALJAK and NORJAK cases
are striking in that in both cases he asked for 2 back packs
and 2 chest pack parachutes. In addition, he requested the
VAL to give him his own luggage from the plane's cargo department .<
before they departed, and his own parachute and jump suit,
helmet and flares, together with 100 ft. of rope in his luggage.
SAC CALAME speculates that the subject in the SALJAK case
tied the money in his other effects, together, and when he
was ready to leave the plane let them descent first, hung onto
the rope,just before he landed dropped them and he could make
the landing safely. In addition, he dropped 2 parachutes which
they have not located. One parachute was located in Nevada
and one near where he landed in Utah. The whereabouts of the

other chutes are unknown. ib 4~8/-2RGYO

SAC CALAME is causing a check to be made of the UAL
flights from Salt Lake City to Portland or Seattle for two weeks
prior to 11/24/71. We should immediately commence inquiry to
determine if an individual using the name of either DAN COOPER v
D. COOPER, R. McCOY or RICHARD McCOY made a flight from Portl of?

NORGAK

On 4/12/72 I called SA HENRY SCHUTZ at the Bureau.

I advised im that the 3 stewardess witnesses in
Minneapolis had observed the photograph of RICHARD FLOYR
Mccoy and advised that he was not identical with the NORJAK
subject.

X told him that one witness here had observed certain
similarities between the photograph of McCOY and the NORJAK
subject; however, this witness, said that if
McCOY were wearin a wig and had cosmetic makeup, it would
change his complexion to a darker shade and there would be
more similarity.

Witnese | Jadvised that after viewing the
photograph of McCOY, he would eliminate McCOY as a suspect
in NORJAK. He did say there were facial similarities but
based on the photograph displayed to him of McCOY, he would
be eliminated as a suspect.

A 3rd witness here was unable to identify McCOY as
the subject of NORJAK.

I told Mr. SCHUTZ that in spite of this, in view of
the obvious similarity in the two cases, together with the
apparent similarities of McCOY's photograph to that of the
artist's sketch, I thought we should immediately establish
positively his whereabouts during the pertinent period through
independent witnesses, and that we would continue the investi-
gation endeavoring to determine if McCOY had made a pre-
hijacking flight from Salt Lake City to Portland and return
and/or from Portland to Seattle and return.

I advised him later.some time today we would send him
a teletype concerning this matter.

It is noted that lead in this airtel is to identify a parachutist

'who jumps in the water because of a disabling accident and one can
assume this chutist is somewhat imobile. It is believed that 'the
hijacker in this case has full use of all of his extremities and
witnesses did not tell of any physical disability. It is noted that

the person they want us to identify is in a wheel chair.

A man confined to a wheel chair did not hijack the plane in this

recalled the individyal also called city editor ofxx the Spokane

It appears the call was from a prankster or
use the issue. On 3/31/72, Spokane Chronicle

vised the writer that the individyal came in person to the b7¢C
office that morning and gave substantially the same
Story and said he wanted 20% of the loot. He declined to id
himself but[ _]said he Looked and acted Like an ex-con,
guedded him to be about 30, fairly clean and polite but somewhat
arrogant. Saad he insisted on dealing with newspaper so he could

enforce any promise not to be prosecuted.

Individual told| | and|

three guys stole the vehicle that had the money in it. They are
"heavy" théedes and have relatives here. He figures if they are

picked up, they will think the relatived fingered them and not the

man talking.

After leaving the Chronicle office, the man calkd by phone
and said he would send in 12 of the bills to be checked; that he had
$2500 of the money himself. He promised to dend the money in right
away.[_ |felt that if they got anything in the mail it b6
would be ang April Fool letter. Neither of them, nor the Spokane R/A, bic

have heard from the individual since.

five other peoples who know where the money 1s. Amount involved is bic
$491,000. He said there were three persons who stole a station wagon
and the money was in it. They don't know where it came from. They
found a paper folder that had held an wirplane ticket so they figured
it might have come from a highjacking. The individual stated that

Norjak investigation, but that she thought that she should
bring it to the attention of the FBI.

She further provided a Forest Service map, which
revealed the location where she had seen the tire tracks
in the snow. It was noted that a Forest Service road ex-
tends from where saw the tire tracks to the general bé
are a of Merwin ver, it was also noted that the b7C
general area where Isaw the tire tracks was honeycombed
with Forest S#rvice roads, revealing that the vehicle that
made the. tire tracks could have been driven from any number
of locations, including] | Washington, which is wast
of Washington. "

Army would not furnish any helicopters, the Navy at Whidbey
Island NAS, Oak Harbor, had agreed to furnish two which
could be used if permission was obtained from National Military
Command Center in Washington, D. C. I asked him to make this
request.

At 6:20 PM. SA PETERSON called and advised that
an| had called and advised that the
Army at Fort Lewis would furnish two helicopters; however,
they would need "J.P. 4" fuel. I told him this could be ye per army

Al From Fort Lewis then called at 8:15
and advised two helécopters would be at the Woodland air

I told him that they should meet' SA MANNING

ALTERNATIVE NUMBER ONE. THEY WOULD RECOMMEND UTILIZATION

OF LOW ALTITUDE LIGHT AIRCRAFT EQUIPPED WITH INFRARED CIR?
FILM TO PHOTOGRAPH THE AREA IN QUESTION, IT WOULD BE NECESSARY
TO HAVE SUCH AN AIRCRAFT MANNED BY PERSONS CAPABLE OF OPERATING
THE REQUIRED CAMERA EQUIPMENT, SUCH PERSONNEL COULD POSSIBLY
BE SUPPLIED BY STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND (SAC)$ UNITED STATES AIR
FORCE INTELLIGNECE, OR AEROSPACE CARTOGRAPHIC AND GEODETIC
SERVICE, TOPEKA, KANSAS. NASA HAS NO SUCH ATRCRAFT, BUT ONE
GOULD BE RENTED OR COULD POSSIBLY BE OBTAINED FROM ONE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED AGENCIES, IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER ANY OF THESE
AGENCIES CURRENTLY HAVE APPROPRIATE THERMAL IR SCANNERS WHICH
WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR DETECTING BURIED OBJECTS THROUGH EARTH
SCARS, THAT IS , DISTURB SOIL, HOWEVER, IT IS BELIEVED THAT
THERMAL IR SCANNERS WOULD HAVE PRACTICALLY NO VALUE IN
ACCOMPLISHING THE OBJECTIVE, PARTICULARLY IF THE AREA IN
QUESTION IS SNOW COVERED,

ALTERNATIVE RUMBER TWO, IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE IR

CAMERAS AND OR THERMAL IR SCANNERS WITH HIGH ALTITUDE AIRCRAFT

SUPPORT. THIS WOULD ENTAIL FLYING U-TWO AIRCRAFT OVER THE
AREA AT THIRTY OR FORTY THOUSAND FEET AND WOULD YIELD A
RESOLUTION OF TWO OR THREE, IN OTHER WORDS, GBJECTS ON THE
GROUND WOULD HAVE TO MEASURE A MINIMUM OF TWO OR THREE FEET IN
SIZE TO BE DETECTED, MR» KRUEGER POINTED OUT THAT THIS PROCESS
WOULD PROBABLY NEVER LOCATE A FOLDED OR COLLAPSED PARACHUTE,
ONLY ONE WHICH WAS SPREAD OUT IN A TREE OR ON THE GROUND. THE
NECESSARY AIRCRAFT FOR THIS ALTERNATIVE WOULD HAVE TO BE
OBTAINED THROUGH THE SAC OR UNITED STATES AIR FORCE U-TuO
SQUADRON AT TUCSON, ARTZONA. NASA COULD ALSO PROVIDE SUCH
AIRCRAFT, BUT WOT UNTIL THE WEEK OF DECEMBER THIRTEEN NEXT AT
THE EARLIEST,

MRe KRUEGER EXPRESSED HIS DESIRE TO ATID THE BUREAU BY
INITIATING CONTACTS WITH THE NECESSARY MILITARY OFFICIALS IN
THE EVENT EITHER OF THE ABOVE ALTERNATIVES SHOULD BE DESIRED
BY THE BUREAU, HE INDICATED THAT IF REQUESTED, MILITARY
AIRCRAFT COULD POSSIBLY BE DEPLOYED TO THE AREA WITHIN TWO OR
THREE DAYS.

BOTH MR. KRUEGER AND MRe NOLAN EMPHASIZED THAT OBTAINING |
IR PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA CAPABLE OF YIELDING A PARACHUTE |
WAS ANALOGOUS TO QUOTE FINDIKG A NEEDLE IN A VERY LARGE
HAYSTACK URQUOTE, THEY NOTED THAT AERIAL IR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK
WAS ONLY A SINGLE ELEMENT IN ACCOMPLISHING THE OBJECTIVE AND
THAT THE REAL TASK INVOLVED THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
OF THE RESULTANT IMAGERY BY QUALIFIED SPECIALISTS, IT YAS
ESTIMATED THAT TO ANALYZE THE AREA INVOLVED IN CAPTIONED MATTER
WOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST A DOZEN MEN WORKING FULL TIME FOR AT LEAST
TWO OR THREE WEEKS. SUCH ANALYSIS COULD CONCEIVABLY COST THE
BUREAU AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT, BUT THE AIRCRAFT REQUIRED WOULD
PROBABLY BE PROVIDED FREE OF COST.

CONCERNING IMAGERY ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION,

On the 727, the rear stairs cannot be lowered from
the pilot's compartment. They can be lowered only from the
passenger compartment in the rear of the plane or externally
if the plane is on 'the ground.

| eareadtivised that once the operation of the rear
stairs has startea there is no way to stop them until they

have extended to the full position. On the ground when the
rear stairs are extended, the weight of the stairs actually
carries them to the full open position. If the stairs are
extended in flight, the presgure of the wind keeps them from
opening to the full position.

On ral occasions

extended the rear stairs while in - >
his was done at speeds of approximately 150 knots. Opening
the rear stairs in flight at speeds at 150 to 170 knots would
not suck any items from the passenger cabin. There would be
a slight change in pressurization but this would not remove
any papers or cushions from the passenger cabin.
