I knew nothing of his organizational of filiations. t would Believe hin to

In his career in the United States Marine Corps he had done many things.

He was a customs officer for sone period.of time and was responsible for

the checking of thousands of Msrines, Navy personnel and so forth as they
eane in from overseas. He releted to them ali very well.

I feel also that he was a man who is of sound judgnent, can size up 3
situation end make a proer decision. I say this because he had to do so
many times in the tower and even more so when he was directing sircraft
in @ ground control approach. I would feel that I was in good hands if
he were in charge of the plane on which I was riding as I had no quelns
about fhying in on his directions.

He is very mature and stable. To my knowledge he has never had any

Officer at El Toro and in Japan. He had beon a Customs Officer at £1 Toro

military personnel . but on occasion it was slso civilien employees ang at
times reguler carriers had to put down there because El Toro was theonly
landing field open to them. Ho has always performed woll.

He gets along Well with all sorts of people. He handles people well,

me put up my Christmas lights on e outside of the house. He has also
very willing to be of assistance. He scexs to be a rather casy-aoing
person who is-nature and-exotionally stable. JZ have never seen him use
any alcoholic beverages. He does not seem to be the type of individual
who would need any personality supplements in the way of drugs, narcotics,
or LSD. I believe that he would be decisive in a critical or stress
situation and be able to handle any emergency that arose. I think his
Judgsent is sound and he is mature enough to make logical independent
conclusions to any problem that arose. However, I have had no close
association with him because of his extended military service and up
until November of 1970, had only seen him casually. As I understand it,
he has progressed in responsible positions in the military but any know-
ledge I have of this is by secondhand information and would only be hearsay.

My generél impression of| lis that he would deal effectivelsb6 Per BoC
with people on all levels. He has had militory service so I am sure {b7C Per BoC
he would be able to use regulations connected with any job he was assigned
to, be able to follow instructions and to interpret them correctly. When
ZI have takked to him out in the yard ond when he has come over to my
house to offer his help, he has always presented his viewpoints clearly
and concisely.

It is my understanding that he has applied for a sensitive position with
the Governnent. I feel that knowing specific examples of his experience,
resourcefulness, good judgzrent, and ability to use tact and discretion

in whatever his job was in could not be known by me because of my limited
knowledge about him. However, generally he impresses me os being a very
fine person, quite levelheaded, and "somewhat of a fine American citizen
because Of bis military background. On this basis only would I recomend
him for a position within our Federal Governzent in a very sensitive and
cyitical area. a a ' , i

My husband and I have seen him on two or three social occasions since he oe
has retired and of course, he seems more mature than he did when he was

throughout his military coreer. However, because I have never seen him

regarding his qualifications to occupy a sensitive position in a critical

I feel that he is a loyal American citizen because he spent tuenty years
in our military service. He has never-spoken or espoused any controversial
or radical causes to my knowledge. Generally, as to his personal character
and conduct to my knowledge of it, I would recommend hin for any position

RE: REMNANTS OF A PARACHUTE HARNESS FOUND IN

FROM : SA CHARLES E. FARRELL f

SUBJECT: NORJAK

The remnants of a parachute harness, located by
the Sheriff's Office in Skamania County, were inspected on
5-31-72 by EARL J. COSSEY who advised that they are remnants
of a parachute harness but positively are not part of any
of the four he packed and which were used in the hijack
situation. His elimination was based on the fact that the
straps are olive drab whereas the missing chute is sage
green in color. Further, one of the remnants has a piece
sewn to it to extend its length, plus the fact that part
of the remnants found was a Capewell quick-release which
the missing chute does not have.

¢ wae

Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced
airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was
conducted by the writers from May 22 - 26, 1972. Among
files reviewed were main volumes, numbers 1-47, subfiles
designated for a particular area of interest, i.e. parachutes,
witnesses, course; I-A volumes and numerous suspect sub-
files. In addition, physical evidence as available was
reviewed for pertinent investigative leads.

Information set forth following the file review
has been arranged according to the headings used in the
table of contents fund in the report of SA CHARLES E.
FARRELL, dated February 16, 1972, with the exception of
a brief hijacker profile.

'PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

Ey

Black Snap-On Tie and
Tie Tack

An examination of the tie by the writers revealed
noticeable amounts of dust lodged in the inner knot area.
In addition to the markings "3 Penneys",two other labels
were found as follows: "Snapper Pat. 2972750, It's a snap
to snap on"; and "100% Dacron Polyester Washable RN 16484",
From writers' experience in Theft From Interstate Shipment
cases involving Penneys merchandise, it is known that the
RN number is a manufacturer's code. Penneys headquarters
will be able to determine where the tie was manufactured,
when imported and which stores @sold this tie.

accuracy of the artist's sketch. Numrous changes were sug-
gested by these witnesses and some were implimented in
making up the final artist's sketch. It is noted that a
Bureau artist personally interviewed the three stewardesses
at Minneapolis, Minnesota and thereafter prepared a re-
vised sketch of the hijacker showing him with the dark glasses,
which he wore on the airplane, and another sketch, but
without the glasses. One key witness, bé
stewardess, was very adament in her insistence that the b7C
artist's conception was not a very good likeness of the
hijacker.

It is recommended that a Bureau artist be flown
to pertinent divsions, including Minneapolis, Seattle and
Portland, and spend sufficient time with the key witnesses
until an artist's sketch which is agreeable to the majority
of the witnesses can be obtained.

It is recommended that the Color Selection Guide
be used to provide details and depth not ordinarily shown
in black and white sketches.

. It is recommended that the Bureau artist sketch
hijacker showing the full face, full face with dark glasses,
Side profile, and a sketch showing the hijacker in a standing
position... All the sketches should be in color.

In addition to the facial identification guide,
color selection guide, the following items should accompany
the Bureau artist: and assist him in preparing the sketch:

1. The FBI Lab should provide a color profile from
the single hair sample submitted previously by the Las
Vegas Division, following its discovery on a head towel
presumably used by the unsub.

. 2. The following photographs of "strong suspects"
which witnesses have commented about as having the correct
eyes, ears, etc., should be included:

b7c

Prior to sending the Bureau artist to the various
divisions, it is recommended that a letter of appreciation
from the Bureau be sent to all pertinent witnesses, ex-
'pressing Bureau appreciation for their time and effort and
indicating desires regarding artist's sketch.

Following 'the obtaining of an acceptable color |
artist's sketch, widespread use of these should be made in
the following ways:

1. Consideration should be given for another
general mailing of new sketches to all law enforcement
agencies, banks, etc, that received the old sketches in
previous mailings.

DB Cooper-8572

==== Part 26 · PDF page 177 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-85 ====
. @ e
SE 164-81

2. Television and newspaper sources should be
recontacted and brought up to date with the new sketches.
These sketches, additional news releases, copies of
ransom lists as prepared by the Crime Records Division,
should be provided to all television and newspaper sources.
Space for a color insert in at least one of the major news-
papers having daily circulation in Seattle, Portland, Las
Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles should be purchased.
This insert should contain material prepared by the Crime ,
Records Division and include all four new artist's sketches,
pertinent background information and other interesting news-
worthy developments, in order to promote widespread public
interest resulting in new suspects and possible recovery of
some of the ransom money. It is noted that expenses for a
newspaper format for ransom lists and accompanying back-
ground information were estimated at actual costs of $1,600
for the Seattle Times, Seattle, Washington. Color would,
undoubtedly, cost more. -Bureau Exhibits Section may be able
to cut costs considerably by preparing all material uniformly
prior to submission to major newspapers.

' ' AS a source of continuing value, it is recommended
that display or window space be rented for a period of
not less than six months at major airports in Seattle,
Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, and
that the Exhibits Section prepare hijacking displays,
including artist's sketches, photograph models, ransom

_ lists, notices of rewards, etc. It is hoped that this
would promote a sense of awareness and develop additional
suspects. In view of the fact that this display may be
done in such a way as to promote airline security and
prevent, or discourage future hijackings, major airlines
may wish to share a portion of the expenses. It is noted
that traffic at the above major airports would have a
heightened awareness of hijackings and would) be cognizant
'of the hijacking problem.

EXPERIMENT WITH AIR STAIRS

| has suggested b6
that the hijacker could be someone that worked on the Boeing bic
pinzineerene Project having to do with the air stairs.

dvised this project took place in 1963 and 12-15
engineers worked on it. He only recalls the following:

suggested that|
who worked on the Boeing 727 air stairs' project
in 1963, be mntacted concerning other Boeing employees
that worked on that project. These employees should be
identified and should be eliminated as possible suspects.

DESCRIPTIVE DATA

MATCHBOOK COVER

Regarding the_blue matchbook cover marked "Sky Chef"
observed by Stewardess as used by the hi- b6
jacker, it should be noted that Sky Chef is a chain of b7c
restaurants serving airports. It is recommended that
Portland determine if there is a Sky Chef Restaurant at the
Portland Airport (noting that the Sky Chef Restaurants usually
have different names) and Portland should determine if this
restaurant gives away blue colored matchbooks with Sky
Chef written on them. Unsub may have eaten lunch at the
Portland Airport Restaurant prior to boarding Northwest
Airlines flight 305 and if so, latent fingerprints may be
on a meal ticket (bill) for that day. Portland should
determine if these tickets are available for November 24,

1971, and determine feasibility of obtaining latents.

OLIVE OR LATIN COMPLEXION:

Key witnesses generally agree that unsub had an
"olive or Latin" complexion. One witness indicated a
Mexican-American or possibly Indian complexion and
characteristics. In addition, unsub expressed a desire to
go "anywhere in Mexico".

It is recommended that all divisions having a
concentration of Mexican-American extremists, including
Chicanos, Brown Berets, review extremists albums. It is
further suggested that revised colored sketches, when
obtained, be shown to all pertinent Mexican-American sources.

INTERVIEWS WITH KEY WITNESSES

In view of her willingness to cooperate and

abili explicit details, it is recommended that 6
be reinterviewed. | | could "be BIC
hterviewed in connection with the Bureau artist$'

interview, at which time the following questions should
be asked:

DB Cooper-8574

==== Part 26 · PDF page 179 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-85 ====
- @ @
SE 164-81

1. How did the hijacker secure the money? Did
he appar to be going to jump while holding the money
package by a handle or did he fix a knapsack arrangement:

- What was the position of the hijacker when

[dast saw him as she left the rear of the b6
airplane for the last time? What did the hijacker b7C
have around his waist? Was the hijacker attempting to
ysecure himself to the plane by using parachute cords in an
"attempt to prevent being pulled out of the airplane when
opening the rear door? Did the hijacker express a fear
to the stewardess that he would be pulled out of the door
prematurely?

Experienced parachutists have advised that attempts
to hold the money without adequately securing it would
probably not be sufficient. Attempts by unsub to secure
himself to the plane prior to openine ght rear door of the
aircraft would indicate a fear of being sucked out of the
aircraft as the stewardess feared. This would indicate
a lack of knowledge about the Boeing 727 and aircraft in
general.

3. What was the level of education of the hijacker
as measured in terms of Speech, grammar, and mannerisms?

AIRPORT, FLY GROUPS, FLIGHT SCHOOLS
PARACHUTE CLUBS

In a teletype from San Francisco dated November
26, 1971, San Francisco advised there was no record in files
of U.S. Parachute Association, 651 Cannery Row, Monterey,
Cal; tfornia_for names of D. B. COOPER, L | | BG
and It is recommended that San b7C
Francisco at Monterey review records of the U.S. Parachute
Association for names simila, i.e. DAN COOPER and combin-

ations such as DANIEL COOPER, DAN (middle initial whatever)
COOPER, COOPER DANIELS, etc.

SE 164-81

It is recommended that sources in Washington and
Oregon be contacted concerning the sale or theft of that
amount and description of dynamite in a time period of
up to two weeks prior to November 24, 1971. Sources to be
contacted would be such as construction firms, public
utilities using dynamite, hardware stores and police
departments and sheriff's offices concerning reports of
theft of dynamite.

HIJACKER PROFILE

Hijacker' s clotheszmay have been unfashionable,
Since he was wearing a black thin (out of style) snap-on
tie and tie clasp. Hijacker's briefcase was described as
"cheap" style.

Hijacker's language usage indicates at least a
moderate level of education (high school or higher).

Hijacker drinks bourbon and 7-Up, and smokes
Raleigh cigarettes.

Hijacker did not appear to be an experienced

'professional criminal (reportedly his behavior became

childish following receipt of money.) The hijacker was
familiar with the Seattle area because of seveal comments
he made, such as "we are over Tacoma now" and "McChord
Air Force Base is only 20 minutes from SeaTac Airport."

Hijacker did not provide instructions to control
air speed, nor to control the direction by degree of air-
craft and, therefore, would ":not have been able to control
his drop zone. This would eliminate theories involving a
pickup by an accomplice.

Hijacker began immediately attempting to prepare
for jump shortly after lift off at GSaTac Airport. Because
the money was not in a knapsack and ready for jumping and
because of problems encountered in opening rear door, hi-

jacker may have been delayed in making jump. It is possible

that the hijacker wished to jump much nearer Seattle or
Tacoma.

DB Cooper-85/76

==== Part 26 · PDF page 181 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-8577 ====
a eee @ r )

SE 164-81

Hijacker was probably not a sporting parachutist
as he relied completely on airline personnel to furnish
any type of parachute equipment available. As a result, he
was furnished a chute that would open quickly with a good
possibility of tearing,.a high rate of descent and non-
steerable. One chute he jumped with was a dummy chute and
would not open. A parachutist with considerable exper-
lence would have been more specific in the type chutes
requested.

Above suggestions have been set forth in hopes
that investigative efforts of this important major case
might be implemented and case brought to an early logical
conclusion.

U. S. Attorney General :

Sir:

X wrote you May 8th regarding skyjacking of
Northwest 727 on the run fron Portland to Seattle the
eve of Thanksgiving last.

Today a Kansas City F.B.I. agent called me
out (to early for you to have acted) I gave the agent '
the mans nane, and other details, after he identified his
self. I feel I should give you the facts too after the
letter I wrote you.

I have a crime pardner named| b6
| | Whenever we registed anywhere| gave b7c
une name uv. 6b. Cooper, in savor ne appruvacneu me witn tne

idea of skyjacking a 727 and him jumping out after the

200,000 was delivered to me.

When this skyjacking took place with the same name
being used I was convinced my pardner was free and had 'done. :
it. After[— |]checked with the Waden and I found ny b6
pardner was still there I looked for any close friend he b7c
might have told the plan to.

The FBI composit drawing looked like my pardner
and I was stumped. Last week I bought a June Stag Magazine
and begining on_page 18 was all J needed to figure it out. It
is my pardners|] lwho is| | No b6
arrest record. Has been in business for himself (that I b7c
know of) since 1955. Married twice, nice home and in 1967
owned a Washington. Always drives a

He always enjoyed a good life style. Raised

dont believe it would show, but from the composite drawing I

This report indicated that the latent prints on the submitted

This case has been reviewed at the Bureau and SUB X
the following observations are being made in an effort to Sut :
assist your office in your investigative endeavors. ee Pow é

The unsub, as Dan Cooper, at 2 p.m., PST,
11/24/71, purchased a one-way coach ticket at the Portland
National Airport, Portland, Oregon, for travel from Portland
to Seattle, Washington, on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight
number 305, which was a Boeing 727 aircraft. Unsub paid for b6
this flight with a twenty dollar bill and had no luggage. b7c
He occupied seat number 18E on the aircraft and prior to the
time the aircraft taxied on the runway, he purchased a

unsub turned and handed Stewardess | Jan envelope
containing a note written in black felt-tip pen and which
was on plain white unlined paper and written_in neat, legible
handwriting. This note informed Stewardess | |that
he had a bomb and instructed her to sit. next to hin..

Unsub then dictated to her his demands. at the

co sion of which he rem e "ty ss." Stewardess
showed Stewardess the demand notes b6
and then went to the cockpit where she displayed them to the bic

captain of the aircraft. The unsub retrieved these notes
prior to the time the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington.
She thereafter remained in the cockpit where she prepared
thirteen pages of notes concerning the hijacking and in which
she described unsub as in his fifties, She later said he
appeared to be of Latin descent. It will be noted that one

of the aircraft passengers, | | believed
unsub was a Mexican-American. She had a short encounter
with the unsub prior to her deplaning at Seattle, at which
time she said unsub did not appear to know exactly where he
wanted to go after he left Seattle, but snake of Mex+co City,
Phoenix, and San Francisco, Stewardess then
acted as a communications media between the unsub and the
captain of the aircraft until about five minutes after the

aircraft departed the Seattle-Tacoma National Airport (Sea-Tac)
when she was instructed to go to the cockpit by the unsub.

The aircraft landed at Sea-Tac at 5:46 p.m., PST,
at which time $200,000 in twenty dollar bills, weighing
19 pounds, two back chutes, and two chest chutes were made
available to him. The passengers 'then were allowed to deplane
as were Stewardess | jand another stewardess. -This is
normally a thirty-six minute flight.

Shortly prior to the aircraft taking off from

Se at 7:36 p.m., PST, the unsub informed Stewardess
[a that. they were going to Mexico'City or someplace

n Mexico and that the aircraft could stop anywhere in Mexico
to refuel, but nowhere in the United States. When unsub was
informed that the fuel would not permit the aircraft going to
Mexico, unsub compromised and said he would prefer a refueling
landing in Reno, Nevada. The last communication had with the
unsub was by interphone at 8:05 p.m., PST, and it was felt
that the unsub deplaned from the aircraft at 8:12 p.m. The
aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, at 11:05 p.m., PST, An.
extensive ground search of the area where it was believed
the unsub exited the aircraft has proved negative,

When the aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, a

chest pack chute and a back-type chute were found on the
plane. The missing chest back chute is a training pack
"dummied up" to look like a good one. The missing back
pack chute, sometimes referred to as an emergency chute, is
non-steerable and anyone utilizing this type chute would
pave no chance of slowing down or picking his spot on which
o land,

Also located in seat 18E of the aircraft at
Reno, Nevada, was a black clip-onttie which contained a tie
clasp described as yellow gold in color with a white pearl
circular stone in the center, The label in the, tie bore the

name "Towncraft" and bore store #3 Penneys. The label in

this tie showed it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie. Investi-
gation at Las Vegas indicated that this type sold for about

a dollar and a half, that it was about a year to a year and

a half old, and it was a favorite item for individuals such
as waiters, busboys, and bartenders, Stewardess | lhas
said that this tie was probably the unsub's and other witnesses
have indicated that he wore a similar type tie.

'Located in the ashtray utilized by the unsub were
eight cigarette butts, seven of which have been identified by
the FBI Laboratory as Raleigh filter tip cigarettes, and the
eighth cigarette is probably the same, These cigarettes are
sold ina "soft pack." . '

During the period Stewardess |__| vas with the
unsub and in her conversations withhim she related what appeared
Ae be keen observations concerning him, and which are as
follows:

1) He impressed her as being an executive because of his
dress, special mannerisms, and consideration that he exhibited
for her while on the aircraft.

2) In one of the conversations she had with him, she re-
marked that the parachutes were coming from McChord Air Force
Base at which time he remarked that it was only about twenty |
minutes from McChord to the Seattle-Tacoma airport and which
was apparently an accurate estimate. .

3) While the aircraft was in a holding pattern and prior

to its landing at Sea-Tac, the unsub looked out of the window
and remarked, "We are over' Tacoma now," although no mention
of this had been madecever the interphone of the aircraft.

4) He displayed an extensive and technical knowledge of
this aircraft and seemed particularly well informed as to-
the refueling procedures and flying in general. He apparently
pas aware of where the oxygen bottles were and Stewardess

felt this information was normally known only by
the crew personnel, The only function of the aircraft that
he did not appear to be fully aware of was the procedures
involved in the opening of the rear door and the extending .
of the stairway. He likewise appeared to be completely
familiar with the parachutes that, had been furnished to him,

5) She said that 'the unsub was a chain smoker using Raleigh
filter tip cigarettes. She observed him using a book of
matches, the cover of which was blue and bore the name

"Sky Chef."

6) Stewardess[ _—_—jasked him why he had chosen a North-
west airplane to hijack to which he replied that he had a
grudge but not against Northwest Airlines, but that Northwest
happened to be at the right place at the right time.

7) He used the e ession "No fuss" on one occasion to
Stewardess | | and "No funny stuff" on one occasion

to Stewardess| i" ba,

You should place strong emphasis on the fact that
the unsub could be possibly a former employee of one of the
West Coast aircraft or related industries, particularly
Boeing aircraft, These industries have been hard pressed
economically, causing a 'number of lay-offs among professional
personnel as well as nonprofessional , personnel and from a.

review of the material available at the Bureau, it is entirely

conceivable that the unsub falls in this. category. In view
of this, the following avenues of investigation should be
investigated by both the Seattle and Portland Offices:

1) Contact professional placement agencies, counselors. as wel}
aS employment contractors hiring temporary professional
employees,

2) Contact unemployment agencies,

3) Identify and contact professional societies' or
organizations associated with the aircraft industry, being
alert for anyone that possibly terminated membership or
activity after 11/24/71.

4) The age bracket of the unknown subject could probably
make him a Veteran of World WartII, or the Korean conflict
and in this regard, you should contact veteran groups and
the American Legion.

5) Seattle should submit to the FBI Laboratory the black
clip-on tie and clasp found on the aircraft at Reno, Nevada,
and request the FBI Laboratory to examine this material for
soil and dust particles in an effort to possibly pinpoint
the area of the country from which the unsub came fron.

ten years has been a dowser which is the art of "telesthesia",
CHRISTIAN stated this is a science for the use in locating
missing objects, Because of recent hijackings CHRISTIAN
concentrated his efforts in locating monies taken by hijackers,
He produced a map of Washington and Oregon and advised from
his method, although never having been there himself, states
that the money taken in captioned hijacking is buried on a
plot of land located on a secondary road leading northwest
from Columbia City, Oregon. According to his plot the money
would be located traveling up this road eight miles and then
approximately one mile to the west of this, and looking at
the map this plot is one mile west of the secondary road
leading sathwest out of Goble, Oregon, which intersects with
the road leading northwest out of Columbia City.

man and his wife, who were in the van, said their vehicle had
broken down, but they were on their way to the Wise River,
Montana, area to do some hunting.

As he recalls, it was a 1970 or 1971, green and
'white license believed to be from the State of Minnesota.
Inside the van was a large green motorcycle.

After reading about the recent hijacking of the
airplane, whereby the individual had parachuted near Provo,
Utah, he told his wife upon recollection that the people
they had observed in the van in 11/71, could conceivably have
something to do with the hijacking over in the State of
Washington, in that the motorcycle would be an easy method
of escape after 2 person had parachuted from an airplane.

He now recalls that the man he talked with in
the van looked very much like the composite drawing of
D. B. COOPER when he first saw it published in a Great
Yalls, Montana, newspaper.

_ These unknown individuals informed him they were
going to Wise River, Montana, to make contact with the
owner of the bar at Wise River to arrange a hunting trip.

The vehicle had mechanical trouble in Butte, Montana,
and as a result they had parked it off Montana Street and
were going to be getting it fixed at WILSON MOTORS.

It is his recollection that they left around noon
on what would possibly be Monday, 11/15/71, and he assumes
that the vehicle was repaired.

The man is described as follows:

Sex Male

Age 35 years

Height 5¢ 7" = §f 9"
