On 4/19/72 SAC CALAME called from Salt Lake City.

He advised that they had been unable to establish
the whereabouts of RICHARD FLOYD McCOY on 11/24/71, the day
of the hijacking. They have noted that gas purchases were
made with his credit card at Provo; Utah; Cedar City, Utah
"and at Las Vegas, Nevada, for his automobile on 11/25/71,
the last one being made at Las Vegas, Nevada, some time,
between 11:00 PM o 1, and 9:00 AM on 11/26/71.
Further, McCoy and] are inveterate users of credit b6
cards, purchasing other small items on credit, b7C

cards, but they have been unable to locate any purchases.
on the credit cards for 11/24/71.

A long distance telephone call was made from a public
phone in the Tropicana Motel at Las Vegas to McCOY's home in
Provo collect on 11/25/71. I suggested to them that they
have Las Vegas find out who made the call since the Telephone
Company maintains records on the identity of the caller.

' They advised that |when shown b6é
the photograph of the necktie and tie clip found in the b7c
Northwest Airlines plane related that he had seen McCOY
wear similar ties. In addition, he said the tie clasp

looks familiar but he cannot say for sure if McCOY had
one exactly like it.

During the conversation SAC CALAME suggested, and b6
bs: I agree, that we should check with the Army at Fort Lewis b7C
and at McChord AFB to see if McCOY could have made any
r flights on a military plane arriving at McChord or Fort Lewis
& on November 22, 23 or 24, 1971, or made any flight from there
(Ga * on those dates or November 25 or 26, 1971.

In addition, steps should be initiated at once

For consideration of the Bureau, it is noted that
the Nation of Liberia, in Africa, utilizes as ite legal
tender currency of the United States. It would appear that
any person wishing to exchange a quantity of U, 8, currency
dn such a manner 2s to avoid connection with a crine
through identifiable funds could do so there with a
minimum of exposure. Accordingly, it ia suggested the
Bureau may wish to disseminate the ransom money list in
this matter to appropriate Liberian authorities through

RE: REWARD

At approximately 10:15 AM, on 4/26/72, a male
who did not identify himself, telephonically contacted
the office to inquire as to any reward being offered for
the money paid in the hijack of NW Airline Flight #305.

He was informed that the POST INTELLIGENCER
has a $5,000 reward as part of their "Secret Witness"
program.

The caller, who appeared to be a young coherent
man, said he wondered if there would be any reward
in addition to that $5,000 for the return of the money
asking whether or not insurance company's who insure such
large sums don't automatically pay a 10% reward of any
money returned. He was advised that if he could provide
information which would assist in identifying and locating
the hijacker that although the writer could make no
promises of any reward, it was indicated that there was a
good possibility that it would be worth more than the PIs
$5,000. The caller stated that he had been told by a
friend whom he refused to identify that a short time after
the hijacking, this person allegedly saw a parachute in the
trees and the caller indicated that it was an area where
there was lots of snow.

The writer asked the caller if he would like to
have some help. I asked him if I should bring a shovel.
He answered that I might need a shovel to bury the hijacker,
if he is still hanging in the trees; however, he further

refused any help. 164-8/- 2923

The caller did not saw when the information was
received or from whom. Attempts were made to have him
come to the Seattle Office and give us the information
he says he possesses and let us make the search but he said
he would either check it out first himself, after consulting

on April 18, 1972, Located a carbon copy and two carbons
utilized in the preparation of a sales invoice number 764637
oe gn eypurohase of 5.6 gallons on gasoline with total charges ©
oO e A .

This invoice was charged to RICHARD F. MC COY, JR.,
Bank Americard Number 4763 160 217 773 and bore the signa-
ture of MC COY.

The invoice carried the machine date of November
25, 1972, but had the written date of Noventer 26, 1971.
The license number listed on the carbon copy of the invoice
appeared to be SA 1334 and the carbon utilized for the
preparation of these invoices had the additional notations
'No. Carol", however the above writing was not readily
discernible on the written carbon copy of the invoice.

| Jexplained that the discrepancy of the
dates could be explained by virtue of the fact that his
station operated on a 24 hour basis with shifts running
from 7:00am to 3:00pm, from 3:00pm to 11:00pm and from
11:00pm to 7:00am. He stated that in view of the fact
November 25, 1971, was a holiday, he did not personally
work that day and as a result, the machine date of November
25, would not have been changed to November 27, 1971, until
9:@4m on November 26, when he visited the station to
correlate the receipts for the holiday.

| further noted that in all possibility,
the employéé Nandling the actual transaction was on duty

from 11:00pm, November 25, to 7:00am, November 26, and
therefore entered the date as November 26, which would have
been his regular work day and the machine date would not —,.,
have been changed until his appearance later as noted above.'

Incted further that in view of their

location as the last station prior to the southbound

for anyone approaching Las Vegas on the freeway from
the south, their business is evenly divided between
traffic heading for Los Angeles who wish to gas up
prior to their entry into the desert or are the iritial

who are nearly out of gasoline.

|noted that three copies of the

Bank Americard invoice would have been prepared with

Re "Seattle Flag" 5/10/72.

A review of the article concerning D.B. COOPER
appearing in the May 10 issue of the "Seattle Flag" reveals
the following discrepancies between the article and the
actual hijacking:

1. In the article, the interviewee states he
sat in seat 15 D, whereas the hijacker actually sat in
seat 18 E.

2. The intervewee in the article states that he
danded over 100 miles away from Southwest Washington. This
would be in conflict with the indications of the test flight
'yun by Northwest Airlines.

3. The interviewee states that he knew that with
down flaps the stalling speed of the 727 was 109 miles per
hour. This information would not appear to be known at
Northwest Airlines, as there was some question at their office
the night of the hijacking as to whether or not the plane
could fly with 15 degree flaps.

4. In the article, the interviewee states
one of the reasans he selected a 727 was 'because the
lavatories in the rear were a handy place to hold a
stewardess hostage, wich turned out to be right. In another
piace the interviewee states he held stewardess hostage part
of the time behind the rear galley curtain and part of the
time in the toilet. This is not true, inasmuch as the hi-
jacker did not hold the stewardess hostage in either of these
locations.

§. The interviewee in the article states that he
knows the bills were xeroxed before they were delivered to
him, as he could smell the xerox fluid on them at the time
they were delivered. This is in error, inasmuch as the
bills were not xeroxed, and if they had been, would not
have a smell of xerox fluid.

$6. The interviewee in the article states that

the bomb which he allegedly had consisted 5f five Gillette
shaving cream cans painted red and rigged with prima cord
fuses. This would disagree with the stewardesses descrip-~
tion of the cylinders which she observed in the briefcase,
inasmuch as they were smaller in diameter that shaving crean
CanS eo

. 7.In the article at one place the interviewee states
concerning payment by the airline "why risk four lives - not
including mine - and a § million dollar airplane for a mere
$200,000?" This would appear to indicate that the person
being interviewed felt that the passengers had been released
before the money was paid, whereas the money was delivered to
the hijacker before the passengers were released. |

8. In the article, the interviewee states that
he told the pilot "let the passengers off but I want every-
body in the cockpit and the other two stews to stay on the
plane." This appears to be inaccurate, inasmuch as the
hijacker did not demand that the stewardesses remain on the
plane.

9. The interviewee in the article says that he
was in the cockpit twice, once when they were having fueling
'troubles and at this time, he told the pilot "I want the
flaps at 15 percent and the gear down." He states that
after discussion with the Bilot concerning the destination
of the plane he slammed the cockpit door and went back to
the tourist compartment with the stewardess. This is
inaccurate, inasmuch as the hijacker at no time was in the
cockpit to the aircraft and was not observed by the flight
crew in the cockpit and instructions concerning destinations
were relayed through the stewardess.

_ 10. The intervjewee states that he selected the
name D.B. COOPER by sticking a pin in the Seattle telephone
directory. This is inaccurate, inasmuch as the hijacker
when purchasing his ticket, in fact used the name DAN.COOPER

instead of D. B. COOPER.

ll. The interviewee in the article states the
note he gave to the stewardess read, "I'm hijacking this
aircraft. Relay instructions to the ground that I want
$260,000 in 20s and two parachutes deliveréd to -me when
the plane lands. I have a bomb." Stewardess
states that the note which she received read,
"Mzss I fiave a bomb hear and would like you to sit by me."
He later had her take down a note which he dictated reading
"I want $200,000 by 5:00 p.m. in cash. Put it in a knapsack.
I want two back parachutes and two front parachutes. When
we land I want the fuel truck ready to refu. No funy
stuff or I'll do the job."

_ 42,In the article the interviewee 'talks about tha
parachutes, one back pack and one chest pack and states that
he did not leave any parachute on the plane; however, cut the
chest pack into strips to use to tie the money to hin.

This is inaccurate, inasmuch as four parachutes were delivered
and one parachute intack and one with shroud lines cut were
-Locted on the plane when it arrived in Reno,

33. The interviewee in 'the article states that
after they were airborn, he took the stewardess forward
and over the intercom told SCOTT, the pilot to hold the plane
at 7,000 feet and 200 miles per hour. This is inaccurate,
inasmuch s the hijacker told] Ito go forward
to the cabin and relayed no further instructions to the pilot,

14, The interviewee in the article states that.
pilot SCOTT tried to humor him with a steady line of chatter
over the passenger PA system and he told the crew, "nobody
under any circumstances is to attempt any further contact
with me." Although there was little attempt by the Grew
to contact the hijacker no instruction of this type was
relayed by the crew.

the news media wherein the Seattle Flag, an underground
newspaper in Seattle, had a headline article which would
be on the street on May 2, 1972, reportedly containing an
interview with the hijacker and displaying a copy of the

, bill, serial number of which coincided with one of the
hijacked bills.

I told him that a very quick look at the article
showed substantial discrepancies. In addition, we were

Re Seattle teletyhe to Bureau 5/1/72; Seattle
teletype to Alexan nd WFO dated 5/2/72 and WFO teletype
dated 5/3/72 to the Bureau and Seattle.

Enclosed for the FRI Lahoratory is one reel of
microfilm which was prepared in connection with the $260,000
yansom money which eventually was paid to the hijacker in
captioned casa.

The above referenced feattle teletype to Alexandria
advised that a copy of the "SEATTLE FLAG" publication dated
5/10/72, was being sent to Alexandria and then to the Surean via
NFO. It is noted that on Pade 2 of the "SPATTLE FLAC" there
appears a reproduction of a $20 bill which allegedly bears
serial number L 51279635 A, which is a serial number of one
of the ransom bills.

REQUEST OP BUREAU

1. Compara the $29 bill appearing on the microfiln
with the reproduction in the "SEATTLN PFLAG" to determing whether
or not it ds authentic and thereafter advisa Seattle.

The hill itself has heen located on the microfilm
and has heen marked with a small piece of paper on the film
itself. The approximate location of that bill on the film
is approximately at the arrow which has been Scotch taned to
the outside of the reel.

2. In connection with the examination conducted
by the Laboratory 4/28/72, to determine the authenticity
of three $20 bills, the Seattle Office marked the location
of those bills on the film with a small piece of adhesive
paper provided by the Federal Reserve Bank, whose machine
was used to review the film. It is now noted that these
pieces of paper (3), are difficult to remove and some of
the adhesive remains when the paper is taken off.

The Bureau is therefore requested, while the film
is at the Laboratory, to endeavor to ramove these three
markers from the film. If it is felt necessary that the
'locations of those bills should be made on the film, the
Laboratory might place a marker on the left side of the
film where it does not cover 'the bill. . ;

A sample of the adhesive paper is being furnished
with the film so that the iaboratory might know the type of
adhesive on this paper.

(This line for LEFT MARGIN.)

. Captioned major case occurred almost six months ago
and still remains unsolved. All indications pointed to the fact
that the unknown subject parachuted near LaCenter, Washington;
however, an extensive ground search of the area and investigation
have failed to identify or locate the hijacker.

You must now approach the investigative aspect of this
important unsolved major case with a fresh approach. The files
should be thoroughly and objectively reviewed, serial by serial,
by alert personnel who have proven to be tireless, imaginative,
and "street wise" investigators. To assist in this file review
you may wish to consider utilizing the services of personnel who
have not been "wrapped up'' in this case from its inception. In
your file review insure that all matters that have been brought
to your attention in this case have been completely resolved and
that none were overlooked or left hanging.

advise the Bureau what steps and avenues you intend to take
in order to identify and locate the unknown subject.

Within ten days of receipt of this communication, % )

He said that Asst. Director BATES and bic

were extremely interested in our teletype about the para-
chute and wanted us to consider a further search in the
area; consider sending material to the Laboratory and also
to show the material we found.to the person we got the
chutes from.

is necessary to either establish or eliminate this as the b7Cc
one used in the crime, as Soon as 'poss ible.

I called | } He said that 41 miles east . b6
of Woodland on the Lewis River Road and 7 miles north of the bIC

Lewis River Ranger Station, on an unapproved highway, is an
informal camp ground used by many hikers, hunters and
fishermen and this is where the straps were found. They
were found on 5/28/72 by a camper. The two pieces in
possession are each about 20" long, 1 3/4"

wide, greyish-green in color, made of webbing with some

kind of plastic:material on the back. Each piece had been
Burnédhonteach end. One of the pieces has 'the number 12345
on-the back. They were found in the remains of an old fixe,
partially concealed through the natural accumulation of dirt,
pine needles, etc. They were actually found by a woman
scrapping around in the ground trying to find a place for a
sleeping bag.

The third piece which [| |does not yet b6
have, but which he will get this morning, allegedly has a b7C
name on the back -- EISNER Company, 1/52, and number 5010857.

I requested | lJto get that piece as soon . bé

NORJAK
On 4/29/72 SAC CALAME calied from Salt Lake City.

He advised that they had been unabie to cstablish
the whereabouts of RICHARD FLOYD McCOY on 11/24/71, the day
of the hijacking. They have noted that gas purchases wore
made with his credit card at Provo, Utah; Cedar City, Utah
"and at Las Vegas, Nevada, for his automobile on 11/25/71,
the last one being made at Las Vegas, Nevada, some time
betwoen 11:00 PM on 11/25/71, and 9:00 AM on 11/26/71.

; Further, McCOY and his wife are inveterate users of crodit
'cards, purchasing meals and other small items on credit

cards, but they have been unable to locate any purchases
on the credit cards for 11/24/71.

A long distance telephone call was made from a public

phone in the Tropicana Motel at Las Vegas to McCOY"s hone in

Provo collect on 11/25/71. . I suggested to them that they
have Las Vegas find out who made the call since the Telephone
Company maintains records on the identity of the caller.

They advised that |when shown
the photograph of the necktie and tie clip found in tho
Northwest Airlines plane related that he had seen McCOY
wear similar tics. In addition, ho said the tie clasp .
looks familiar but he cannot say for sure if MccoY had
one exactly like it. .

During the conversation SAC CALAME suggested, and
X agree, that we should check with the Arny at Port Lewis
and at McChord AFB to see if McCOY could have made any —
flights on a military plane arriving at McChord or Port Lewis
on November 22, 23 or 24, 1971, or made any flight from there
on those dates or November 25 or 26, 1971.

1

In addition, steps should bo initiated at once +
through the appropriate airline to determine if UcCOY using

the name R. McCOY, RICHARD FLOYD McCoy, D. COOPER, DAN COOPER ox

J. JOHNSON, made any flights from cither Seattle or Portland to
San Prancisco, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas subscouent to 8:15 zit

on 11/24/71. This should be done at once. a

AIRTEL AIRMAIL /

TO : ACTING DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2211)
FROM : g&C, SEATTLE (164-81) (-P-)
SUBJECT: AORTAK

Re Bureau airtel] 5/17/72.

Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced 'y
airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was con~ '
ducted. Among the files reviewed were the main volumes,
numbered 1 through 47, sub-files designated for particular
areas of interest, i.a., Parachutes, Witnesses, Course, 1-A
volumes and numerous suspect files. In addition, an examina-
tion was made of all physical evidence being maintained at
Seattle, for pertinent investigative leads.

As a result of this review, the following suggestions
are being proposed:

REWARD: This case has generated world-wide attention and

many suspects have been suggested and are continuing
to be received. However, since nothing of value has yet been
developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial
xeward for information leading te the identification and
conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come
forward and name the hijacker.

To be realistic, the reward would have to he
attractive to the person furnishing the information and
therefore, a sum of not less than $25,000 is recommended.

The reward money could be provided either by the
Department of Justice, or by the airlines, or by both. The
only reward at the moment is $5,000, offered by the Seattle,
Washington newspaper SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER "Secret
Witness Progran. "

SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES: Since nothing wag found in the search
conducted by the Army in March and
April, 1972 of the probable drop area in southwestern
Washington, it now appears quite possible that the hijacker
escaped safely and might have secreted the money in a

safe deposit box.

It is recommended that nation-wide circularization
he made of all banks, savings and loan associations and
commerical companies offering this type security. Fach
such location would he furnished with a description of the
subject and the artist's conception showing the hijacker
with and without the glasses.

THE BOEING COMPANY: In 1963-1964, The Boeing Company had
a team of 20 to 30 engineers and test
pilots experimenting with the air stairs of Tho Boeing 727
to datermine the plane's adaptability for dropping cargo

or personnel. In the tests conducted the air stairs were

removed and packages were qronned_from the nlane using an—
Sanactaliy flesianed chute |

| b7E

The Boeing Company has furnished the names of their
employees who were involved in that experiment and investi-
gation is being conducted to determine if one of these could be
the hijacker. They are also being interviewed for any info they

may have as to the identity of the hijacker.

Seattle is continuing to screen suspects in this
matter, which are received from various sources and will
give expedite attention to any worthwhile information
obtained.

he had parachuted several times as an amateur with police
officer of Cerro Gordo County and police officers of Mason

an aircraft down to a landing speed and other semi-technical
'terminology which a person familia preraft and
parachuting techniques would use. istated one would
be a fool for jumping from an aircraft over 10,000 feet and

miles per hour as he might be caught in the air stream and
be dashed against the fuselage of the aircraft.

for the outstanding assistance and cooperation which you and your

understandable had the Bureau confined its participation only to bic
those aspects of the search which required the presence of its

Their willingness to share the hardships of field duty and their

cheerful cooperation in the search efforts reflects most favorably

on their professionalism and on your leadership.

On behalf of alf Army members of the search force, I express my
sincere appreciation to you and all agents who took part in the

SUBJECT: NORJAK

1401 S. 12th, xX

by the writer in

On May 10, 1972, Mr. VER
Mount Vernon, Washington, was contacte
response to a phone call he made to jhe Everett Resident
Agency concerning captioned matter. Mr. WEINZ indicated
that he worked for the Skagit County Sheriff's Office as a
deputy for five years about 20 years ago, and would have
come forward with information sooner if he had not developed
such a distrust for the American Court System. He recently
! saw an article in the Seattle Times, which indicated that the
Air Transport Association of America would pay up to $250,900
for information leading to the arrest and conviction of
persons committing airborne crimes. Mr. WEINZ indicated
that he is a businessman and felt that he could furnish some
information concerning this hijacking if the reward was
high enough.

Mr. WEINZ indicated that an individual he has Known
for everal years, came to his home in Mount Vernon several
weeks before the hijacking. He indicated that he and friends
were going to pull a big deal with a take of $200,000. He
said it would be the greatest news event in the northwest and
would make all of the papers. His partner remained outside in
the car while WEINZ spoke with his friend. Mr. WEINZ said he
would furnish no other information until he was told how much
'reward he would get.

On May 10, 1972, SA CHARLES E. FARRELL was contacted
by the writer regarding the above information. He indicated
that the reward for information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the subject is $5,000,

On May 11, 1972, Mr. VERNER WEINZ was again contacted
at his home in Mount Vernon by the writer. He immediately
inquired as to the amount of the reward and was given a figure
of $5,000. Mr. WEINZ laughed and said he would furnish the
information for no less athan $50,000 and would have to have
a majority of that amount in his possession before he would
furnish any nanes. WEINZ did agree to furnish additional

details concerning tis conversation with the friepai 2 E Z

He advised tat in November 1971, approximately 3
weeks before the hijacking, his friend stopped by the
house. The friend indicated that a big deal had been set
up two weeks prior, but was cancelled because oftad weather.
He said there were three individuals involved and they needed
one more. He indicated that one partner had backed out of the
deal, and they needed a replacement. The friend indicated the
group would make $200,000 and that this would be the biggest
deal ever pulled in the northwest. As he left, he said,"You
will read about this in all of the papers." He gave no details
and never mentioned airplanes or hijacking. He stayed at the
home approximately 11/2 hours, but said nothing specific about
the type of job he had planned. On aprevious contact the
friend asked WEINZ if he would ever consider a job outside the
law. WEINZ told "him that he needed work and would consider
anything. WEINZ further stated that there was a second man
waiting for his friend in the car. He did not get a good look
at him, but assumed he would be the man. known as "D.B. Cooper".
His friend is a large man,and in no way, fits the description
of the hijacker.

Mr. WEINZ againstated that he would furnish no
other information and would furnish no names, unless he is
insured of at least $50,000, He said that the more he thinks
it over, the more he thinks the information is worth at least
$100,000.

WEINZ is a white male, American, born May 24, 1921,
6'2", 210 pounds, gray hair, blue eyes.

On May 11, 1972, this, matter was discussed with
Sheriff JOHN BOYINGTON, Skagit County Sheriff's Offce,
. Mount Vernon, Washington. BOYINGTON advised that he has
known WEINZ for many years and served with the sheriff's
office at the same time as WEINZ. He indicated that WEINZ was
in the pinball machine business for several years before the
state clamped down on the business. He has many contacts out-
side the law and has the ability to obtain information about
crimes. In. most instances, his information is fairly accurate.
BOYINGTON stated that WEINZ is in desperate need of money and
would furnish information if even a small amount were offered
to him. He also stated that WEINZ drinks too much at times and
'tends to become loud and boasts. He can be a very dangerous
man at most times and is very strong.

No furher inVestigation being conducted, unless
requested by case agent.
