involved in testing, as possible suspects. This review was b7C
completed on 7/25/72.

The following is a list of Boeing personnel whose .
files were reviewed as well as pertinent descriptive data,
concerning them, that would eliminate them as possible
suspects or indicate further investigation is necessary.

It is noted that UNSUB in this matter requested
that the aft door must be opened and the stairs down
during take off. When it was explained to the hijacker
that the plane could not take off with the stairs down, he
reportedly said in a low voice, "Yes they can, but the
cockpit can put it down after they get airborne."

On 7/26/72, | | Boeing Company
Executive, advised that if the hijacker was a member of or
had consulted with a member of The Boeing test team, he would
have known that the 727 could not have taken off with the
air stairs down; nor would it have been necessary, since the
air stairs can easily be lowered in flight.

On 7/31/72, [____Jadvised that all personnel
involved in the Boeing tests have been interviewed by Boeing
Security Personnel and at the time of interview, copies
of the artist's conception of UNSUB were provided to those
personnel interviewed. pecifically requested
that any further interviews with Boeing personnel be
arranged through him and that consideration be given to
prior contact with Boeing employees because of valuable work
time involved.

On 7/31/72,]| made available, a copy of
the Boeing testssummary report dealing with the flight
configuration of the 727 during testing. The following
is a summary of the configuration used during the Boeing air
stairs test:

Speed - 125 knots
Flaps - 25 degrees down
Aititude - 10,000 feet

The following information was obtained from The

, Boeing report:

mm,
",..the air(star was quite stable when it was
down and no airplane control problems were experienced.
No excessive cabin pressure transients were noted with the
aft entry door open and the stair extended. The environment
near the aft entry door allowed it to be safely opened and
the stair retracted at speeds up to 300 knots."

In Seattle report of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL dated
2/16/72, it is noted that UNSUB requested the following
configuration upon taking off from Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac)
International Airport:

It is apparent therefore, that the configuration
requested by UNSUB is not the same as used in Boeing air
stair testing.

[__]further stated that the Boeing test results b6é
occupy many volumes and because of the many copies made and bic
length of time since test conducted (8 years), it is not

possible to determine the names of all persons who might

have had access to the test results.

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION

Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5-1 in the Facial
Lines Section of the Facial Identification Catalogue, and
a copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.

The Bureau advised by teletype dated 12/17/71
as follows:

"It is expected the Seattle Office will continue
to give this matter close supervisory attention and insure
investigation is conducted promptly and thoroughly.*

In view of this, the enclosed information is being
submitted in memorandum form, first for supervisor evaluation
and approval prior to being forwarded to the Bureau for
approval.

A key witness, | | was very b6
adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception was b7c
not a good likeness of the hijacker. In an FD-302 dated
12/2/71, stated that the coneption was not, in
her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested
permission to examine the Pacial Identification Catalogue
and immediately picked out photo §KK5-1 in the Facial Lines
Section stating, "that is him, except for the years and hair."

She explained that the person depicted in that particular
photo closely resembled the man; however, the ears of the
hijacker did not protrude as far from the head and she felt
that the hair line should be somewhat lower than that on the
man depicted on photo KK5-1. She was very adamant in her
insistence that the artist's conception shown to her was not

a good likeness of the hijacker.
(CY —-8/- 3° Y/

A comparison of the artist's composite of UNSUB
and photo KK5-1 revealed the primary difference between the
two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much
younger than theran depicted in photo KK5-l. The man in

KK5-1 appears to be in his mid-40s while the-composite_shows__

the man in his late 20s or early 30s. SEARCHED. INDEXED eres

the artist's composite of UNSUB depicted a man too young. bic
Witness| | advised on 11/29/71

the man depicted in artist's composite appears younger than
UNSUB actually is.

Stewardess | yen 11/25/71 advised the man b6
depicted in artist's composite is "too young." bic

From a review of Seattle report of SA CHARLES E.
FARRELL dated 2/16/72, it is apparent that the only witnesses
to see UNSUB-for any length of time, at a close distance,
were the three Northwest Airlines stewardesses. Therefore,
their opinions should be given more consideration and any
artist's conception of UNSUB should reflect more of their
views than those of the other witnesses.

To date 475 suspects have been developed based on
appearance, as well as other features. Many of the suspects
were developed because of their resemblance to the artist's
composite of UNSUB. A great number of these suspects have
turned out to be in their 20s or early 30s, with light or
fair complexion. According to witnesses, UNSUB'S age is in
the mid~-40s and his complexion is olive or Latin in appearance.
The artist's composite clearly. looks like a man in his late
20s or 30s and his complexion is difficult to determine
from the black and white sketch.

Many agent hours are necessary to eliminate a
suspect once developed. To investigate a suspect who
should never have been considered is inefficient as well as
ineffective. Redoing the artist's composite to better
approximate the age and complexion of UNSUB should save
many fruitless hours of agent investigation time.

In view of the above the following lead is
suggested:

A Bureau artist should recontact the three Northwest
Airlines stewardesses and amend the current composite to better
reflect his age and complexion. The sketch should be done in
color showing full face, full face with dark glasses, side
profile and a sketch showing the hijackers height and build
in a standing position. All sketches should be in color to
indicate UNSUB's swarthy complexion.

The FBI Laboratory should provide information to
the Bureau artist as to color of hair based upon a single
hair sample submitted previously by the Las Vegas Division.
It is noted that this hair was found on the head rest towel
on the back of the seat reportedly occupied by UNSUB.

It is further noted that this hair is being held by the
Las Vegas Division as evidence. If the exact color of the
hair was not determined in the initial Laboratory
examination, the Las Vegas Division should be directed

to forward it to the Laboratory for a color examination.

SUBJECT: NORJAK

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION

. Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5~1 in the Facial
Lines Section of the Facial Xdentification Catalogue, and a
copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.

. The following information is being submitted for
Bureau review, and the enclosed leads are being set forth
on an UVACB hasis:

On 12/2/71, a key witness, L | b6
insisted that the artist's conception was not a good likeness BIC
o£ the hijacker. She requested parmission to examine the
Pacial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out
photograph KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that
is him, except for the ears and hair." She explained that the
person depicted in that particular photograph resembled |
the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude
aS far from the head and she felt that the hair line should
be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo
KK5-1. She was very adamant in her insistence that the
.artist's conception shown to her was not a good likeness
of the hijacker.

A comparison of the artist's composite of UNSUB
and photo KK5-1 revealed the primary difference between the
two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much
younger than the man depicted in photo KK5-1. The man din

- KK5-1 appears to be in his mid-40s while the composite shows

the man in his late 20s or early 30s. b6

. In addition, the following witnesses indicated
their dissatisfaction with the artist's sketch:

Witness advised on 11/23/71, that
the artist's compos q iepicted a man too young.
Witness advised on 11/29/71,
the man depicted In artist's composite appears younger than
UNSUB actually is. Stewardess on 11/25/71,
advised the man depicted in artist's composite is "too young."

To date 475 suspects have heen devaloped based on
appearance, as wall as other features. Iiany of the suspects
were developed because of their resemblance to the artist's
composite of UNSUB. A qreat number of these suspects have
turned out to be in thedy 20s or early 30s, with light or
fair complexion. According to witnesses, UNSUB's age is in
the mid-40s and his complexion is olive or Latin in appearance.
The artist's composite clearly looks like a man in his late
20s ox early 30s and his complexion is difficult to determine
from the black and white sketch.

Many agent hours are necessary to eliminate a
suspect once developed. Redoing the artist's composite to
better approximate the age and complexion of UNSUB should
gave many fruitless hours of agent investigation time,

_ Prom a review of Seattle repdrt of SA CHARLES §.
FARRELL dated 2/16/72, it is apparent that the only witnesscs
<o see UNSUB for any length of time, at a close distance,
wera the three Northwest Airlines stewardesses. Therefore,
their opinions should be given more consideration and any
artist's conception of UNSUB should reflect more of their
views than those of the other witnesses.

In view of the above the following lead is
being sat forth on an UVACB basis:

A Bureau artist will xrecontact the three Northwest
Airlines stewardesses and amend the current composite to better
meflect his age and complexion. The sketch should be done in
color showing full face, full face with dark glasses, side
profile and a sketch showing the hijackers height and build
in a standing position. All sketches should be in color to

indicate UNSUB's swarthy comolexion.

The FBI Laboratory will provide information to
'the Bureau artist as to color of hair based upon a single
haix sample submitted previously by the Las Vegas Division.
It is noted that this hair was found on the head rest towel
on the back of the seat reportedly occupied by UNSUB.
It is further noted that this hair is being held by the
Las Vegas Division as evidence, If the exact color of the
hair was not determined in the initial Laboratory
examination, the Las Vegas Division should be directed
to forward it to the Laboratory for a color examination.

The Seattle Division will, upon receipt of copies
of the amended sketch, supervise its distribution.

In order that this case be given more publicity,
the following leads are being set forth for Bureau
consideration and approval:

1. Mats should be made of the artist's conception
of Unsub so that small publications with limited
funds can feature articles concerning this matter
and include with the story a picture of Unsub
without incurring the additonal expense of having
new mats made (Note: - An editor of the Veterans'
of Foreign Wars publication for the State of
Oregon has requested such a mat to print a
pieture of Unsub in his next issue).

2. If the artist's conception of Unsub is changed
as suggested in referended airtel, mats of the

new picture should alsd be made.

parachuting skyjacker. This story is being enclosed for
information purposes only; however, the following quote from the
story is noteworthy:

"The man who boarded the plane in Portland as
*D. B. COOPER' literally vanished into the air that November
night and as this issue went to press nothing new had been
unearthed in the recent search.

"This fact, coupled with a popular theory that the
skyjacker ended up entangled in a tree in blow-freezing

FBI's Search for Parachuting Skyjacker

No Picnic Around PP&L's Merwin Area

PP&L's Merwin Park could have passed
for a mini-military base last month when
the FBI and the U.S. Army moved in to
restuume the search for the mysterious "D.B.
Cooper" who hijacked a Northwest Airlines
727 last November, demanded $200,000 in
ransom and parachuted with the money
into the rainy night—most likely as the
plane was over the Lake Merwin area.

The area was pinpointed by the FBI
based on the position of the plane when the
crew last spoke to the skyjacker over the
plane's phone approximately two miles east
of Woodland. Winds between 25 and 40
miles per hour were taken into account in
determining that the hijacker could have
drifted toward Lake Merwin.

A portion of the Company's property and
surrounding area on the Lewis River in
southwestern Washington was searched fol-
lowing the skyjacking but the November
weather hindered the operation.

Then in March, four months after the

Ta
oN _ ia +i

event, the FBI contacted Pacific wanting
to renew the search of the rugged, wooded
terrain and use Merwin Park as its head-
quarters. Two weeks later 200 men, nine
helicopters and the support facilities need-
ed to maintain the men and machines of
the squadron from Ft. Lewis moved into
the Company's recreational facility to assist
in the air and ground search.

The resumption of the search, although.
what prompted it was not made public, was
coordinated with PP&L personnel. Tom
Seiliken, assistant vice president in charge
of insurance and security, along with Larry
Ouzts, loss prevention engineer; G. Eldon
Drennan, vice president of engineering and
power operations; Stan Piper, division pow-
er superintendent; and Joe Nichols, man-

'ager of public affairs, met:with the FBI
to help determine measures that would .-

insure the security of PP&L's hydroelectric
dam and property.

was closed during the search to guard
against crowds of curious people on the
grounds.

The command post for the operation
where FBI agents coordinated men and
helicopters was set up in one of the Com-
pany buildings at the site. The troops were
bivouacked in the adjoining park area
which also served as a helicopter pad.

The man who boarded the plane in Port-
land as "D.B. Cooper" literally vanished
into the air that November night and as
this issue went to press nothing new had
been unearthed in the recent search.

This fact, coupled with a popular theory
that the skyjacker ended up entangled
in a tree in below-freezing weather and
never made it any farther, may make look-
ing for "D.B. Cooper" and the $200,000
ransom a recreational fad on the Lewis
River this summer.

discussed any particular airline as their yictim. He estimated
they discussed the hijacking about four different times of
periods of thirty minutes or less,

One of their problems was to determine in advance
that a plane on a particular flight would not have very many
people on board. Further, after additional consideration they
realized that the only jet aircraft in use at that time had
gide doors and a jump from a side deor would be too dangerous,
In view of this, they "bagged" the idea and did not feel it
could be carried out safely.

Reurairtel dated 8/7/72. Sua ry oes ,

Bureau artist developed composite drawing of NORJAK Unsub ,
with_sunglasses based on interviews with stewardesses| |
and On 11/27/71 stewardess| | while viewing original
sketch prepared, commented that it was "almost 100% like him" and stated
she could suggest nothing additional to make sketch a better likeness.

oe With reference to photo KK5~1 in the Bureau's Facial Identifica-
tien Catalog, it is note dicated on her initial interview it would
bear a resemblance to Unsub if modifications were made. She selected ten
} additional photos as resembling various features of Unsub, This plus the
~*s comments and loek-alike photos selected by stewardesses d
[went into the preparation of composite drawing sl ot,

The sketch was modified to show the eyes when additional witmesses later
. Selected look-alike photos of the eyes.

Noe

The attempt to depict the apparent age of Unsub has proven
difficult from the beginning since witnesses did not describe age lines or
features that lend themselves to the aging process. Preparation of the
drawing in color may contribute to the aging factor as well as show the
complexion color. In view of more recent comments, an
additienal sketch in color and labeled '*B'* has been prepared by Exhibits
Sectien with and without sunglasses, The "B'ske is based on photo _

>» KK5~-1 from the Catalog with changes suggested by Original
'sketch previously prepared from combined descrigtions of several witnesses

RE: NORJAK

Bureau Laboratory advises hair sample submitted insufficient
to determine overall hair color. Hair color on ''B" sketch is based on
recollection of

, Preparation of profile view of Unsub will be held in abeyance
until your office determines whether or not an available witness can supply
sufficient descriptive data for sketch of side view to be made. [ff this
description is available Exhibits Section should be advised accordingly.

Advantages offered by full length sketch in standing position
appear. questionable. A full length sketch is recommended only if it shows
some descriptive feature that deviates from the average and can better be
described pictorially than written.

Enclosed herewith are twenty photographic copies of "B" sketch,
in color. Ten show Unsub with sunglasses, ten without. They should be
displayed to available witnesses for their evaluation and comments. () tu ~,

parachuting equipment supply houses in the United States.
He and | have little direct

lJadvised he is from the Seattle area and
came to Chicago one year ago. While in Seattle he sport
parachuted for six years. He stated he did not recali
having met anyone he felt could be identical to unknown
subject.

stated in his opindton the person responsible
for the hijacking is not a sport parachutist. He bases
this opinion on the theory that sport parachutists have
an emotional attachment to their equipment, and probably
would not perform a jump with equipment not known to them.
From the accounts he read concerning the hijacking he
assumes the hijacker had military parachuting experience.

DETAILS:

PREDICATION

RICHARD FLOYD MC COY, JR. = SUSPECT

*

MC COY was the subject of a similar crime aboard
aircraft - hijacking case involving United Air Lines Flight
855 from Denver, Colorado, to Los Angeles, California,
April 7, 1972, in which case MC COY was convicted by jury
in United States District Court, Salt Lake City, Utah, and
sentenced on July 10, 1972, to a term of 45 years.

This investigation was predicated on the fact that
numerous similarities exist between the captioned matter,
"NORJAK," and the case involving MC COY, as follows:

In NORJAK, envelope containing instructions was
furnished to stewardess. In United Air Lines, envelope and
two-page single spaced, typewritten instructions with envelope
containing hand grenade safety pin and .45 caliber cartridge
were given to stewardess.

The subject in NORJAK exhibited contents of attache
case alleged to contain dynamite. In United Air Lines case,

hijacker exhibited gun and grenade and indicated he had
plastic explosive, .

In NORJAK case, subject dictated message to stewardess
as follows: "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 a fuel truck read to refuel. No funny
Stuff, or I'll do the job." :

In United Airlines case, specific typewritten in
structions were given for United Air Lines to have $500,000
in various denominations, two back and two front parachutes
of a specific manufacture and location where they could be
obtained at San Francisco, that fuel truck with six hours

fuel and two men on truck be available; that all vehicles be
100 feet from the nose of the aircraft on the left side, and
that captain of hijacked plane use Runway 19 Left at San
Francisco International Airport.

In NORJAK, passengers were deplaned and one
stewardess and three male flight crew members remained on
board, In United Air Lines case, all passengers deplaned,
two. stewardess and three flight crew personnel remained on

oard.

In NORJAK, hijacker instructed he be flown to Mexico
City, instructing pilot to fly at not more than 10,000 feet,
with flaps at 15 degrees, the landing gear down and rear steps
of plane also down, plane involved being Boeing 727, a tri-jet,
with stairs at rear, Hijacker finally agreed to having steps
raised. (It is noted Boeing 727 aircraft unable to take off
with stairs in lowered position. However in order for stairs
to be lowered in flight, it is necessary that rear pressured
door be in open position on take-off.)

Continuing in NORJAK, stewardess remained in cabin
with hijacker, and hijacker had stewardess show him how to
lower steps and ordered her to go to first class section.
United Air Lines hijacker ordered stewardess to go to front
section of plane and did not require instructions as to how
to operate lowering mechanism of rear stairs.

In NORJAK, plane captain was in contact with hijacker
by intercom and just prior to final communication with hijacker,
captain had signal indicating stairs had been lowered.

In United Air Lines case, plane crew was on oxygen
flying at 16,000 feet for a period of one and one-half hours
prior to hijacker jumping due to open rear stairs.

In NORJAK, Boeing 727 was flying at 170 knots, In
United Air Lines case, Boeing 727 was flying at 180 knots,
which approximates 200 miles per hour or 3 miles per minute,
at instruction of hijacker,

In NORJAK, two parachutes remained on aircraft
when it arrived at Reno, Nevada, one of which was open and
three shroud lines had been cut and removed from parachute,
presumably to tie ransom money package to hijacker. In
United Air Lines case, hijacker jettisoned one, two or three
parachutes in Nevada, at least one containing homing device,
and had rope or harness in his possession to fasten money and
equipment to him, In United Air Lines case, the rope was 19
feet long with eye grommets. In interview of local National
Guard parachute jumper, he indicated it is standard operating
procedure in National Guard units to have "H" harness with
which equipment package is strapped to body. Approximately
25 foot rope is fastened to harness and equipment package,
and after parachute is opened, jumper lowers package so it
dangles below him. As jumper approaches ground, he releases
rope from body harness with result package will drop in
immediate area of landing. Jumper cannot retain package
fastened to body as this would hinder landing operation and
possibly cause serious injury.

Physical description in both cases is remarkably
similar. In NORJAK case, subject is described as possibly
in mid 40s, and personal observation of MC COY, age 29, gives
immediate impression of man possibly 40. Composit photograph
of NORJAK subject bears strong resemblance, particularly hair-
line, hair part, shape of face and nose. In NORJAK case, .
witnesses describe subject's complexion as olive, Latin.
appearance, medium smooth. In United Air Lines case, witnesses
likewise described subject as of dark complexion, possibly
Mexican, believed due to make-up. In NORJAK case, subject
described as having sideburns at low ear level. Subject in
United Air Lines case upon arrest had sideburns to bottom
lobe of ear. In NORJAK case, witnesses stated voice had no
particular accent, possibly from Midwest section of United
States. In United Air Lines case, witnesses described
subject's voice as normal and did not refer to any accent of
any type.

In NORJAK case, subject described as heavy smoker
of Raleigh filter-tip cigarettes. In United Air Lines case,
subject brought supply of candy and continually ate candy

.. ,@upring Flight.. It is noted United Air. Lines investigation... ..

has not indi¢ated United Air Lines subject smokes; however,
he is from Raleight, North Carolina. Candy could be a
substitute for cigarettes; however, subject in each case
obviously nervous.

SU 168-24

In United Air Lines case, there is obvious ~.
evidence subject attempted to disguise himself after boarding
plane, in that he on two occasions spent extended periods in
lavatory and emerged with black hair wig and false mustache,

In NORJAK case, "subject during latter part of flight
put on dark wrap-around sunglasses with dark rims. United Air
Lines case subject boarded plane with mirror type sunglasses.

In NORJAK case, subject believed to have departed
plane in area containing a noticeable beacon and farm land.
In United Air Lines case, subject departed plane shortly after
heading east of Utah Lake near airport with beacon and immediately
beyond, farm land thus providing excellent bearings for jump.

In NORJAK case, subject was very insistent upon
retrieving instructions after reading by pilot. In United Air
Lines case, subject likewise insisted upon retrieving
instructions. Advance preparation of flight plan instructions

in United Air Lines case could logically represent refinement
of modus operandi,

On April li, 1972, | |
| Hughes Air West, nd an swor an Matéo,

California, made available Hughes Air West tickets during
the pertinent period of NORJAK, and a review failed to
reflect any individual by the name R. MC COY, D. B. COOPER
or any similar name flying from Salt Lake City, Utah, to
Seattle, Washington, or Portland, Oregon, or from Portland
or Seattle to Salt Lake City. During this review, reviewing
personnel were instructed to pull any tickets with the

names COOPER or MC COY and none were located, the review
being conducted by Bureau Agents.

On April 13, 1972, Bureau Agents from the Minneapolis
Office contacted| | Northwest Airlines, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and | provided the lift tickets for all flights

November 10-24, 1971, and a review of these tickets for the
names RICHARD FLOYD MC COY, R. MC COY, D. COOPER, DAN COOPER
and T. JOHNSON were negative. [|__| stated that the lift
tickets that were reviewed were tickets of on-line passengers,
who are those individuals making reservations through North-
west on Northwest flights, and tickets were not available for
review of those off~line passengers, which would entail approx-
imately 25 percent of Northwest passenger service.

The Las Vegas Division on April 18, 1972, advised
that alli airline manifest that have flights to Portland from
Las Vegas are destroyed after 90 days and that Hughes Air
West, United Air Lines and Northwest Airlines provide service
between Las Vegas and Portland; however, there are no direct
flights and all are via Los Angeles, California, or San
Francisco, California.

On April 18, 1972, the Las Végas Division advised
the only Air Force base where military planes could land in
the Las Vegas area is Nellis Air Force Base northeast of
Las Vegas, Nellis Air Force Base operations advised that
individuals who come in on military planes are not logged,
therefore, there is no way of knowing whether a particular
individual arrived in Las Vegas. Operations personnel
stated that individual names would be available at the point
of origin of the flight and would be centained on a passenger
manifest.

On April 12, 1972, a series of photographs
containing that of RICHARD FLOYD MC COY was shown to Northwest
Airlines stewardesses at Minneapolis, Minnesota. The three
stewardesses stated there were some slight similarities, but
each was quite certain that MC COY was not identical with
COOPER. Some of the differences in physical characteristics
noted were that MC COY's ears stuck further from his head
than those of COOPER, and COOPER's hair was fuller than that
of MC COY's, MC COY's nose was broader than that of COOPER's;

and | the only stewardess who saw COOPER
without his glasses, stated that COOPER''s eyes were brown,

| |Las Vegas, Nevada,
on April Ls, 19/2, Located a carbon copy and two carboris
utilized in the preparation of a sales invoice number 764637

for the purchase of 5.6 gallons on gasoline with total charges
of $2.57. ,

This invoice was charged to RICHARD F. MC COY, JR.,
Bank Americard Number 4763 160 317 773 and bore the signa-~
ture of HC COY.

The invoice carried the machine date of November
25, 1972, but had the written date of Noverimr 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.

lexplained 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, frem 3:00pm t-: 11:00pm and from
11:00pm to 7:00am. He stated that in view of the fact
November 25, 1971, was a hoiiday, he did not personally
work that day and as a resuit, the machine date of November
25, would not have been changed to November 27, 1971, until
9:Qhm on November 26, when he visited the station to'
correlate the receipts for the holiday.

| |further noted that in all possibility,
the employee handling the actual transaction was on duty
from 11:00pm, November 25, to 7;0Gam, 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."

; Jncted further that in view of their

for anyone approaching Las Vesas on the freeway from
the south, their business is evenly divided between
traffic heading for Los Angeles who wish to gas up

who are nearly out of gasoline.

Enclosed to this memo is a copy of a story that appeared

Plane Story of D. B. Cooper." It is noted much of the infor-
mation contained in the article is erroneous but two statements
were of interest and there are quoted for information purposes
as follows: "He had chosen a 727 because the 727 is the only
kind of commercial jet from which it is safe to parachute."

"He who steals a plane and $200,000 and leaps out into the

itt, .
During the first week of November 1971, he was on Hy a

an elk hunting trip in the northeastern portion of the state
of Oregon, During this hunt he ran across a log shelter cabin
and a cache of survival gear located in a remote place in this
area, He is unware of the signifcance of this cache but furn
ished this information after hearing about captioned case. He
advised that a short time after the hijacking he was transferred
by his company from Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, Georgia, and
only recently received his furniture and personal effects,
Since some of the data contained herein was with his personal
effects he was unable to furnish this information prior to this
time,

He produced a United States Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service map of the Joseph Ranger District,Wallowa Whit-
man National Forest, dated in 1965, He stated that this map
is available through the headquarters of the Forest 'Service in
Portland, Oregon, He stated that the area that he is relating
to is located within sections 1, 12, or 13 of Range 49 cast in
Township 1 north as set out on the above described map,

He states that he was off hunting by himself on this
one particular occasion, when he stumbled into an area of heavy
brush, he discovered a log shelter constructed entirely of logs
five to six inches in diameter, The building being approximately
four feet long by five feet wide and four feet high, the open-
ing to the shelter was covered by logs propped in place and
staked in position in the ground, At the time he was there, there
Was approximately 12 to 18 inches of snow on the ground and this
amount of snow had been in the area for four to six wgeks prior

to this time, He noticed no fresh tracks near the shelter
or cache at the time,

He was unable to look into the shelter to see what
was contained therein and he didnot remove any of the logs to
examine it. He did notice a duffel ba
near by. This duffel bag had the name

st name could hbe| | With Air Force number
ea imprinted on the duffel bag, The bag appeared to be
old and contained numerous tears and wear holes. He examined
the contents of the duffel bag and discovered that it contained

rifle bullets, long-handled men's underwear, shoe grease, candles,

a jacket, vitamin pills, ahd some hippie-type smoking pipes,
which appeared to handmade, He noticed no food, no socks, or
Shoes in the bag, He noted that several of these items still
had price tags on them reflecting that they were purchased
either at GI Joe's or Andy and Box both of which are Army sur-
pius stores located in Portland, Oregon, He did not recall any
dates of purchase,

He also noted that there was a left-handed bow, as
used by archers, hanging froma tree nearby, He removed this
bow and took it with him, the bow bears the name Baer Archery
Company, Grayling, Michigan, registration number

He stated that the area of the cache is located in
what is known as Hell's Canyon, near the boundary between east—
ern Oregon and Idaho, [It is located generally in a gully be-
tween Windy Ridge and the next ridge located to the southwest,
He states that the nearest communiy is in Imnaha, Oregon,
Located on the Imnaha River, To get to the area you take the
Hat Point Road out of Immaha and follow it to the end of the
pavement, at this point you follow the wide trail that goes out
on Windy Ridge and finally comes to a dead end, The road ends
at a small draw and the area of the cache is located about 200
or so yards from the end of the road,

He stated that this general area has the appearance
of being used during the summer months by packtrain trips com
ing from various dude ranches in the area and located nearby
is a camping area which might be an overnight stopping point
on these packtrain trips. He stated that from this camping
area the site of the cache is perhaps 100 to 150 yards away
up the side of a hill in heavy brush, The cache could not be
seen from the camping area but the area could probably be point-
ed out by one of the rangers from the nearby ranger station at
Hat Point.

In at least two of the crimes which she alleges
were perpetrated by the LINKLETTERS, the suspects have been
identified, tried and convicted; therefore, there is no
basis of fact in her allegations.

lappears to have an extremely wild imagination
coupled with the obsession that ART LINKLELPTER and|
are "master criminals",

Following the interview of L___lon 7/31/72, a
letter was directed by[_|to the fos Angeles Office
postmarked 8/1/72, in which she stated she had forgotten
to demonstrate how Jas "D.B. Cooper" had placed
a piece of scotch tapé in his nose to make his nose appear
narrower,

Enclosed with the letter was an airline ticket
which she had recently received through the mails with an
invitation to visit a land development project in Redlands,
California. In her letter she stated this ticket was "bait"
and believes ART LINKLETTER, through the land development
company, was going to kill her. She stated, "I have an idea
this two-way trip would be only one-way because of an accident".
These tickets and invitations are regularly received by home
owners in Southern California and to construe the receipt of
such literature as some type of plot to murder appears
completely absurd.

Based on the €, it does not appear that any
information provided byt |shoute be considered reliable
or valid and no investigation concerning allegations made
by | | appears warranted.

The above is being furnished for _ the information of
St. Louis and Seattle as more letters from] _|might well

information concerning other major crimes.
