Enclosed for each agent receiving this memo
is one copy each of a colored artist's composit of unsub
in this matter, one with glasses, one without glasses.
The previous composit was changed to show unsub's complexion
and age more closely.

THE CRIME

A lone white male boarded Northwest Orient
Airlines Flight Number 305 at Portland, Oregon, on
NovembelY 24, 1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while
the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he
indicated to a stewardess that his briefcase contained a
bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers
aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seatite,
Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions.
After he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker
aliowed all passengers and two of the airline stewardesses
to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members into
the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them
he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed
that the plane procesd in a southerly direction and fly at
a low altitude and slow speed which enabled the rear door
of the plane to be opened during the flight.

national Airport with three crew members in the cabin and
a stewardess in the rear of the plane with the hijacker.
Within minutes after takeoff at 7:36 p.m., the hijacker
had the stewardess show him how to lower the steps and
he then ordered her to go to the first class section
which she did. At 8:05 p.m., the captain was in touch
with the hijacker by the intercom. This was the last
commmication he had with the hijacker. Just prior to
this communication, the captain had a signal indicating
that the stairs had been lowered. At 8:12 p.m., the
captain experienced "oscillation" in the plane and thought
perhaps the hijacker had departed the plane.

Re Bureau airtel to All Offices Except Seattle, Portland,

Enclosed for each receiving office are two copies of an
artist's conception showing UNSUB with and without glasses. The

gation in their divisions:

Portland 50 copies
7 Las Vegas 10 copies
: Denver 10 copies
| Sacramento 10 copies
San Francisco 10 copies
Butte lO copies

The intent of this change to the artist's composite is
to more clearly show UNSUB's age and swarthy complexion,

A release of an interim composite {one that had not been
fully evaluated by NORJAK eyewitnesses) in the December FBI Law
Enforcement Bulletin makes it imperative that this final version
not be released to the news media at this time,

This is the only unsolved hijacking; it should receive
expeditious handling with every investigative effort expended to

MONTHLY SUMMARY

Re: Seattle airtel to the Bureau, 2/7/73.

SEARCH AREA AND COURSE

In attempt to determine the accuracy of the first
search area, the following 'vas learned:

The first search area Was calculated using a system
of plotting known as "GEOREF" (i.e. Geographical Reference)
which has a plotting error of plus or minus one mile. A new
plotting system using a computer generated latitude and longi-

tude has a plottins error of plus or minus 1/2 mile. Using
the new system, Northwest Orient Airlines[
plotted a new course for the Norjak airplane and a new sear

area based on the new course. The new search area is partially
outside the first area.

It is felt that if Unsub's parachute opened, he is
no longer in the southvest Washington area, but if Hs parachute
did not open, he would ba in a corridor along the flight path.
The time of jump is known, and an areca approximately one mile
by seven miles represents the area Unsub. would have landed in
if his parachute did not open.

Seattle Division is currontly making arrangements 'to
Search that portion of the above described area not previously

Dear Sirs:

This letter concerns the skyjacking of Flight 405 on Thanksgiving
Eve, 1971, by so-called D.B. Cooper. I would seriously like to
offer a theory and some basic facts as to who this individual is.

Of course, I fully realize that the checking of any story requires
time and resources, and that I could be completely wrong in ay
assumption. Nevertheless, should you decide to use my idea, and
should it prove worthwhile, is there a reward still in force in
this case? Thank you for your time. I await your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Artist's conception of Dan Cooper, the hijacker who bailed
out of a Northwest Airlines jet with $200,000 a year ago last No-
vember. (From FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin)

FBI still hunts for 'D. B. Cooper'

Northwest Orient Airline's
flight 305 was enroute irom Port-
land to Seattle on the gray after-
noon of November, 1971, A polite,
soft-spoken passenger informed a
stewardess he had a bomb in his
briefcase, He said he would blow
up the plane and its 36 passengers
unless his demands were met. The
stranger gave his name as Dan
Cooper, later to be publicized over
the world as "'B. B. Cooper."

There was no argument. When
the plane landed at Seattle-Taco-
ma airport, all passengers and
two stewardesses were allowed to
get off. Northwest Airlines deliv-
ered $200,006 and four parachutes,
and Cooper ordered the rest of the
crew into the front first class sec-
tion. He told them he wanted to
go to Mexico City.

The plane had a rear exit, and
Cooper's plans had taken this into

consideration. He ordered the pilot
to fly low and at slow speed, then
retired to the rear of the plane,

Somewhere between Seattle and
Reno, Nev., the hijacker disap-
peared with his parachutes and
the $200,000. Massive subsequent
searches failed to find a trace of
him,

if anyone sees a2 man answering
his description they should notify
the nearest FBI office. Telephone
numbers are usually found on the
inside of the front cover of the
phone directory.

Cooper is described as 5-10 to 6
feet tall, weighing 170 to 180
pounds, having an olive complex-
ion and a Latin appearance but no
foreign accent. His dark hair is
parted on the left and combed
back. He is a heavy smoker of
filter tip cigarettes, and very
polite.

Grange Couple'
entries sought

Report forms and contest rules
for the 1973 "Grange young couple
of the year'' contest have been
sent to all Grange Masters by
State Master Jack Silvers and
Robert Eiwess, state youth direc-
tor,

Entries in the contest must
reach the State Grange office on
or before May 1, they empha-
sized. 'We hope that every sub-
ordinate Grange having a young
couple will who will not be over
the age of 35 years as of Apr. 30,
1973, wilt honor them by selecting
the couple as your subordinate
Grange young couple of the year
and entering them in this con-
test.'

The semi-finalists will be invited
to the state convention for per-
sonal interviews and written tests
so the judges can make the final
selection, the State Master and
youth director said. Granges may
appoint a special committee to
select a young couple, if desired.

the area in question which is encircled in black magic marker
pencil located by the coordinates of 122 degrees and 30 minutes
longitude and 46 degrees and zero minutes latitude.

as well as charts on the scale of 1:250,000 can be obtained

contained in the fifteen-minute (scale 1:62,500 or one-inch
equals approximately one mile) quadrangle maps of the Pigeon
Springs, La Center, Yacolt, and Cougar, Washington, areas. These
latter maps are the largest scale available except that the
southern half of the La Center map can be obtained on a larger

Vancouver, and Hoquiam, Washington, areas.

|was very cooperative and apologized 6
several times because some of the fifteen-minute quadrangle BIC
maps were dirty and soiled around the borders. This condition
exists she stated because her office basically handles only the

maps for the Eastern States (east of the Mississippi) and thus

the few WestemState maps on her shelves linger on the shelf

and become-dirty. She stated copies of the maps of the Western
States are basically furnished by the Distribution Section,

suBjECT: NORJAK

Upon cessation of the most recent terrain search in Clark
County, Washington it is felt that the follewing comments are
pertinent since they come from one individual who has partic.
ipated in every search operation which have a total time
expenditure of avproximately 9 weeks.

The search conducted by the United States Army was the best
effort which could be exvended considering the number of personnel
involved, logistic and support problems, weather and terrain
factors. This is pointed out by one speaking from actual
experience, intimately acquainted with details of the various
searches, since there appears to have arisen some question on
the adequacy of the military searches

The searches conducted by Agent personnel were also the best
effort which could be put forth considering the same problems
mentioned above,

The most recent search appears to have been based upon the
securing of new data which corrected the most logical spot at
which the hijacker exited from the aircraft, which resulted in
the moving of what has been referred to in past communications
as point A, However no concrete information has been developed
that the parachute of the hijacker did not onen and the renewing
of the search of the terrain at new point A appears to have
been based on mere conjecture that the chute did not in fact
deploy.

In view of the above it is respectfully and earnestly
recommended that absent concrete information concerning the
hijacker or evidence in this matter being in the searched or /
unseacrhed terrain that no further terrain searches be
undertaken. It is felt that to do so would result in an
unwarranted expeniiture of agent time and effort and an
expenditure 6f Bureau funds which is not economical feasible \
or justified,
