Sir:

On Monday, May 1, we vrinted an interview from
one D.B. Cooper, who is listed, I believe, in your files
as the only successful American Skyjacker.

On Tuesday, May 2, you an»nrehended two men_y

a T am quite willing to tell you that at no
ime was I ever aporoached by either individual, nor
have I ever traveled to Bremetbton or been in the Swept

Wine Inn. WNor would I ever go there.

Por the sake of determing whether our interview
is bona fide, I would ask you to open your D.B. Coover
file so that we may conmmare interview facts with the
information you have gathered, Similarly, it would assist
such a determination, if you could present the xeroxed

bill for comnarison.
Sincerely, 4

RE: SUB B -— NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS FAS 37 Cub B
(& Ye

Enclosed are xeroxed copies of newspaper articles
appearing on November 13, 1971, in The Seattle Times and The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The enclosed newspaper articles describe the first
attempted skyjacking that involved the use of parachutes.
It is noted the skyjacking occurred approximately twelve days
before NORJAK.

The skyjacker was apprehended by the crew of an Air
Canada DC8. He was apprehended because he did not have a
clear plan of action when he boarded the plane. The following
is a quote from the newspaper aitticle appearing in The Seattle
Times: "As the hijacker was preparing to jump, the pilot . oT.
jumped him and a purser came up behind him and let him have if
with a fire ax."

It is possible that unsub got the idea for his crime
by reading about the unsuccessful skyjacker of Air Canada's
Does.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

On September 7, 1972, SA| ladvised b6
telephonically that he had discuvered a parachute hanging b7C
from the top of a tall pine tree, appromimately 15 miles from
the end of the Kalama River Koad. 'Thirty yards from the cree
in which the parachute was fovnd was a piece of white plastic
on which was inscribed the following: "United States Depart-
ment. of Commerce, NOAA ~ National Weather Service, Radio Sonde."

[__] stated the parachute was a reddish color b6
with white shrovd lines. The parachute appeared to be slightly b7C

smaller than a normal-sized parachute and appeared to have
something hanging from the end of it that looked like pari
of a box.

On September 7, 1972, | bs

[__| united States Department of Commerce, National Weather BIC
Service, 909 First Street, Seattle, Washington, advised his
department uses parachutes to recover radio sonde equipment

attached to weather balloons. | explained that a balloon

is released with the radio equipment attached to it. The

balloon rises to a preset height, at which time the balloon
explodes. The radio eqvipment then fails a short distance

and a small parachute opens and carries the radio equipment

safely to the ground. This parachute is slightly smaller than

a regular-sized parachute and it is pink in color with white

shroud lines. [—_ Jturther stated that housing the radio

Sonde equipment is a white plastic box with the following

inscription: "United States Department of Commerce, NOAA -
National Weather Service, Radio Sonde."

He said right after the NORJACK case, Aviation

Week Magazine had printed a great deal of minute detail
concerning the hijack and particularly technical data with
respect to the Boeing 727, which was the plane hijacked. It
was obvious to him, he said, that the hijacker had to know
"a great deal about this airplane, because he knew at what
degree to have the flaps leveled, the air speed, the time

to put the gears down, and etc.

According to| only an individual who was b6
highly technically qualified in this aircraft would know bic
this information. Therefore he suggested as a lead S96 6

the Seattle Office might wish to check the personnel records
at the Flight Test Data Center at Boeing Aircraft to deter-
mine if there was a picture available of a former employee
who might fit the description of the hijacker. He said he
realized this might be a "wild" lead, but it might be worth
pursuing. This is being left to the discretion of the
Seattle Office, as to whether this lead should be pursued,

informat fon:

A

He lives directly under the fly way between Portland and Seattle,
He recalls that the night of the hijacking a plantwas flying very low
and slowly over his house in the early evening and about 5 minutes after
the plane flew over he heard on television that the hijacking was in
progress. He stated the plane was a jet airliner but he did not see
the plane. It was about 4 to'5,000 feet from the ground and he recalled
that the weather was overcast, very low clouds and 'it 'was raining.
The flight of the plane was qbout 20 miles from "t. St. Helens

Re' pointed out that planes 'on the fly way always fly about
10 to $2,000 feet and in the four years he hes Lived at his present
location he has never heard 'one so low as'on the night' of the hijacking,
He advised that he knows the plane was over 3,000 feet for he lives
near Mount Tum Tum and that is 3,000 feet and the plate was above that

mountain, He d h 'east end of Lake Merwin is
epproximately 'pointed out that the
plane flew directly over | krea and the area over which
it flew is extremely rugged terrain. ™e pointed out that recently

the umber of hunters in that area, from Lake Merwin
to area,

| |stated te feels that if it was the hijacked plane
then the area which has been searched would have been too far west.
He pointed out that the plane was heard before 10:00 PM and after
dark but he could not fix the exact time he heard the plane eXe
furnished a copy of a map on which he drew what
he felt was theflight of the plane and this map is attached.

about one-half mile from Dog Valley Campground when he
saw a strap with a buckle protruding from the ground,
He stated he reached down and pulled on the strap and
discovered what he first thought to be a backpack

buried approximately two inches under the ground. He
stated he started to leave the area, but upon looking
further at the pack realized it was a parachute canopy
pack. He stated he knew this from the fact he was'a
Paratrooper in the United States Army and before leaving
the area he decided 'to take custody of the pack. He
stated the reason he did this was in view of the fact
he recalled an airline hijacking which took place
between Seattle, Washington and Reno, Nevada and
realized this was near the area of the airplane's flight.
He stated at this time he decided to telephonically

AIRTEL AIRMAIL

SAC, NORFOLK (164-41)
FROM: SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P)
SUBJECT: NORJAK ee aires
Sey an

The following background information is being
provided to the Norfolk Division: Unsub had with him prior
to the time he jumped the following:

A. Parachute Back Pack

B. Parachute Chest Pack:

C. Briefcase or attache case

D. Dark overcoat

E. A 4xX12x14 paper bag

F. <A pair of dark slip-on shoes.

G. Wrap around sunglasses with dark rims.
HK. 10,000 $20 bills.

Since none of the above was found when the plane
was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him,
or discarded some of them prior to jumping.

The above-described attache case supposedly con-
tained a bomb. It is believed Unsub threw this attache case
from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous
other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to
jumping, it wowld fall almost directly in the path of the
aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after
7:42 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24,
1971. The plane covered a distance ef approximately 87 miles
during this time. a

Fort lewis. Washington, advised on August 22, 1972, that bic
Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, tele-

phone | | would be able to provide expert information
concerning the feasibility of using high resolution infrared
or regular photographic equipment in a low flying aircraft

to locate the attache case or any other of the above-described

items Unsub may have discarded prior to jumping.

The items could possibly be lodged in thickly
wooded, mountainous terrain. The search area would cover

Mile wide. It has been suggested that infrared photography
might possibly indieate non-living material, such as an
attache case, in a darker shade than living material, thereby
enabling the case to be found using infrared high resolution
photography. !

Since Unsub possibly discarded the attache case
prior to 'jumping, he could not have buried or hidden it.
The case would have dropped directly in the flight path of
the plane and could possibly be visible from the air. The
Length of time Unsub 'would have to throw the case or any
other item is limited to 33 minutes, and therefore the area
covered is relatively small when. compared to the entire
flight path.

Since NORJAX is the.only aircraft hijacking in
which the subject has not been identified and apprehended
nor the ransom money recovered, the following lead is being
set forth as a method of possibly obtaining new evidence
that might identify Unsub or indicate his whereabouts:

LEAD
NORFOLK

expeditiously contact | Jand determine from him b6é

Result of examination?

t was concluded that Q52 through 054 were orepared
by the writer of Q49 through Q51, submitted by Los Angeles
with a comuunication dated 9/25/72.

It could not be determined whether the writer of
Q49 through Q54 was involved in the preparation of the other
specimens received in this case, because of a lack of com-
parable writing and distortion in portions of the material
received in this matter.

No watermarks, indented writing, or other features
were found on Q52 through 954 which would be of value in
determining the source of these specimens..

The submitted evidence was photographed and will be

returned sepa rately.

SUB. D

On November 7, 1972, EARL COSSEY was contacted at
Leota Junior High School in Woodenville, Washington, and he was
shown a parachute that was found near Reno, Nevada. This chute
had been forwarded to Seattle for display to COSSEY. The chute
was a military backpack type with orange canopy and orange shroud
ines.

COSSEY stated this parachute is not identical with
the one provided UNSUB because of the following four reasons:

1. Parachute supplied subject had a white canopy.

2. Parachute did not have required markings around
the edge of the canopy.

3. Parachute shown to COSSEY had a clamp on it which
was not retained to parachute and was not supplied with
parachute given to UNSUB.

4, The backpack shown to COSSEY did not have a place
to attach a chestpack and the one supplied UNSUB did.

COSSEY stated that he checked his records again con-
cerning the serial number of the chutes supplied UNSUB and was
unable to locate them. COSSEY was asked to recheck to determine
if possibly the numbers were still in his possession and he
Stated he would do so. COSSEY further advised he would call
the FBI if he located the book in which the serial number of
the parachute supplied UNSUB was contained.

Re Seattle airtel to Bureau 11/1/72.

On 11/7/72, interviews were ducted with the
pfoilowineindivijuals assigned to the |

Langley Air Force Base, Virginia:

It was the consensus of opinion among the three
individuals above, each of whom has had considerable
experience with infrared imagery, that efforts to locate
the attache case by this means would probably prove futile.
The terrain, as described, would neutralize any effort,
particularly if tall trees and mountains are part of its
makeup. 'Further explained was the necessity for the
presence of heat which would need to be generated by the
object (attache case) in contrast to the surrounding
terrain for successful infrared high resolution photography.
The size of the attache cnse provides a poor target for
any type of aerial photography, including visual photography.

A proposal was suggested, however, which would
require Bureau contact at the National Military Command
Center in Washington, D. C. | | advised that
many training missions in visual aerial photography are
flown within the continental U. S., and that perhaps, at
the request of the Bureau, some of these training missions
could be flown over the area in question as part of the
training program. suggestec that in this
regard the cost would probably be minimal at best and
further suggested that if such visual aerial photography
was attempted, the results might later invite that a second
consideration be given to the feasibility of using infrared
high resolution photography.

All three individuals interviewed, however,
* continued to express their negative feelings as to the
succéss of either of the aerial photography procedures
in this particular instance.

Lear Sirs;

I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for
your kind consideration in allowing the members. of my command to use
your property to establish their bivouac sito while they searched for
the missing skyjacker, "D. B. Cooper."

It was only mutual cooperation such as this that allowed the difficult
search operation to ke conducted with such relative ease and efficiency.

Before we terminated our operation on 18 April, I directed that a
thorough clean up be made. In addition, I hope to arrange for a
regrading of access roads to the camp sites. I hope that this will
assist in repairing any damage to the land we used.

myself and the officers and men of my command.
