SUBJECT: NORJAK

Re Bureau letter to Seattle, dated 6/3/73.

Referenced communication enclosed a letter
Exon | Jwho has offered two possible solu- b6
tions to captioned matter. Seattle Division's comments b7C
to the feasibility and plausibility of these solutions b7D
were requested by the Bureau.

One of the solutions was deseribed key
[as follows:

b7D

This is not plausible because the point at
which the hijacker left the aircraft was determined by
tira correlation of a tape recording of the comments of
the crew during a "pressure oscillation." This oscilla-
tion was later determined to be caused by outside air
pressure forcing closed the air stairs, thereby causing
an increase in air pressure inside the plane, sinilar
to shutting a car door with the windows up. This

phenomena of "pressure oscillation" was unknown to the
erew or anyone else, prior to a test conducted by FBI,
U. S, Air Force and Uorthwest Orient Airlines personnel
on January 6, 1972.

The final solution was proposed by | |
as £Lollows:

b7D

In order for this solution to have any credibility
at alli, it is necessary to make the following assumptions:

(1) I£ it was a crewmember, he would be known to
to stewardesses and the ticket agent;

(2) There would have to have been at least seven
persons involved (i.e. pilot, 2nd officer,
3rd officer, 3 stewardesses and a ticket
agent or an accomplice);
(3) Ho passengers were involved.
Under these assumptions, this solution is not
plausible because of the following reasons:

~ Dow

==== Part 32 · PDF page 4 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-11599 ====
SE 164-81

{1) All of the descriptions of UNSUB supplied
by crew and passengers agreed for the most part, and no
indication of UNSUB wearing a disguise (i.a., wig, makeup)
was given.

(2) All of the staterents by crew and passengers
agreed for the most part as to what took place during the
hijack. A conspiracy involving seven or more persons
would probably have some discrepancies as to story content.

(3) The crew described a pressure oscillation
which occurred at 8:11 PM on November 24, 1971. The fact
that an oscillation would occur when someone parachuted
from the rear air stairs was not known until January 6,
1972 (see above).

On June 19, 1973,| | Official of Northwest b6

Orient Airlines, furnished the following descriptions of BIC
two of the three NORJAK crew members:

FROM 'SA
SUBJECT NOR JAC
(00: SEATTLE)
RE b6
b7C

Due to the fact that the individual described above
was interested only in tossing an object from a plane to an
individual on the ground, primarily via a window rather than
a door, and due to the fact that the 727 was not mentioned,
it is unlikely that he is identical with Unsub.

Further, the man was described as follows:

Clothing: well-dressed in brown business
| Suit and tie
; Jewelry: wore one or two large diamond
rings
Age: thirty-six to forty years of age
Height; 6' or over
Build: heavy
Weight: possibly 200 lbs.
Complexion; light; round, heavy face, no
distinctive features
Hair: dark wavy hair, worn long or full
Hducation;: educated
Voice: modulated voice, good speaker

and carried attache case; wrote
on yellow pad

These discrepancy differences, combined with the above
observation, indicate that no further investigation concerning
this suspect is warranted at this time.

ARGULISTRATIVEs

Since the successful hijacking of Northwest Airlines
(IBA), Flight 350 on 11/24/71, UFO has been cognizant of
the details of the matter and has been avare of descriptive
data concerning Unsub. In this regard, UFO has considered
the possibility that Unsub may be an American citizen Living
abread inasmuch as his absence, whether he is dead or aliva,
hes apparently been unnoticed, ox at least not reported, by
his relatives and associates.

Aceordingly, during a recent routine roview of
Fassport Records at the United States Department of State,
(USDS), Washington, DB. C. (eee) it was noted that the
sport photograph of one white male,
bears a good resemblance to the artist's conception of b6

Hawaiian Holiday Tours, advised that b6
this tour was the first one conducted by this company and b7c

their records are extremely sketchy concerning it.

In view of the above, the San Francisco Office

considered it more practical to reinterview [> Jdirectly b6
rather than attempt to locate other members of the crew who b7c
might recall him.

During this interview,|_________] furnished the fol- b6é
lowing information and other facts developed which serve to bic

eliminate him as a Suspect in this case.

He produced a check, copies of which are being main-
tained at San Francisco, dated 11/24/71 payable to United Air-
lines in the amount of $50.00 and stamped on the back First
Hawaiian Bank, United Airlines Incorporated Revenue Account.
The date is illegible but appears to be 11/29/71.

He also produced a check dated 11/26/71 in the amount
of $43.99 payable to Roberts Wakiki U-Drive for a car rental
in Honolulu. He advised he had rented a car several days be-
fore, exact date unknown, but paid for on 11/26/71.

produced a photograph of himseif taken the bé6é
week of 11/20/71 which shows his sideburns to be below the b7c

with respect tol ob at Boeing in Seattle,
he vas completely forthright and advised that he had taken
one reduction in pay and when the Boeing Company tried to
downgrade him a second time he resianed. He stated that
he has no particular ill feeling towards Poeing or anyone
else and it appeared to him that everything worked out for

three years and appears to be financially solvent.

In addition to the above,[____| furnished a

It is possible that UNSUB made a trial run or runs
prior to NORJAK, for the purpose of perfecting his hijack
plan.

If passenrer Lists of flights fron Portland to
Seattin for two weeks prior to NORTAK could be obtained
the nanes on these lists could be compared to NORTAK Indices,

and other lists currentlv on file at Seattle in order to
possibly identify ulisup.

In an | ine if NINSUB made a trial run
prior to NOME, Northwest Orient
Airlines, Seatite, was contacted on 7/16/73 and he furnished the
followins information:

Reeords of reservations are stored in Northvest
Orient Airlines Univae Computer System and can be retrieved

Copies of tickets sold by Northwest Orient
Airlines are on file and can alin be reviewed (it is noted
that if a ticket was purchased at another airlines and
used on Northwest it would be returned to the other
airline).

There are four major airlines flying from Portland
to Seattle - Northvest, Vestern, United, and Air Vest.

| | b6
| | General Office, Minneapolis, would be the BIC
one to contact to determine the feasibility of
retrievinr these records,

It is reeopnized that this is a rather remote
possibility, but in view of the facet that NORJAK is the only
unsolved hijacking the following lead is being set out:

Per referenced telephone call to Seattle on 10/2/73,
it was ascertained that investigation had revealed both
parachutes presumably utilized by the highjacker, were all
white in color. It was also ascertained that parachutes
with orange and white panels are a type used in military
survival operations and have previously been brought to
the attention of the Seattle Division.

Inasmuch as the portions of the parachute previously

On 11/9/73, SAC MATTSON called from Portland.
He advised that on 12/10/71 the Wilsonville, Oregon
Branch of the National Bank of Oregon was held up by
a lone robber. At the time the robber entered the bank,
a customer was being served by a teller and on the
customer leaving the robber approached the teller, held
herup and departed. The teller advised that while waiting
for the customer to depart the robber had gone to a desk
at the side of the lobby where he did some scribbling.
In conducting the investigation the Agent recovered from
this area a note with the name "D. B. Cooper" printed on
it. Suspecting that ARVIDIS KIPERTS was the individuals
who perpetrated this robbery in preparing the affidavit
for a search warrant at KIPERTS' home in Vancouver,
Washington, on 11/3/73 allusion was made to this incident.
Subsequent to the search of the home and recovery of
KEPERTS' diary and a substantial number. of guns there
has been a lot of notoriety attached to his arrest and
one of the newspaper reporters has noted this reference
in the affidavit. The newspapers are now running stories
linking KIPERTS with the captioned case. KIPERTS' diary
recovered from his home shows that on 11/24/71 he attended
an auto show at the Collesium in portland, Oregon From
11/25~-29/71, le visited | in Bellevue. His
diary also reflects that during this time, specific date
not shown, he purchased a gun at the Bazaar (probably
Gov-Mart Bazaar) in Renton. It is a 30-30 Marlin lever
action carbine and they believed he paid $105 for it.

The description of KIPERTS does not resemble

In view of the above, we should immediately:

the period of time KIPERTS was in Bellevue on 11/25-29/71.
Specifically, he should be asked when KIPERTS arrived
there, what he did while there, and specifically questioned
as to whether or not it is possible that he pulled the

2. In addition, we should contact the "Bazaar"

A SAN DIEGO NEWSPAPER, NAME IS NOT RECALLED. THE RERORTER SAID
HE HAD INFORMATION INDICATING THAT KIPERTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN THE NORTHUEST AIRLINES HIJACKING AND REQUESTED
DETAILS. I TOLD HIM THAT WE KNEW OF NO SUCH CONRECTION AND
THAT IF HIS SPECULATION WAS PROMPTED BY A STORY PRINTED IN THE
OREGON JOURNAL , 11/6/73, I COULD RELATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
HOW THE NAME D.B. COOPER AROSE IN THE CASE. I THEN ADVISED
THE REPORTER THAT WHILE IT IS NOT KNOWN THAT KIPERTS ROBBED THE
WILSONVILLE BANK, HE IS CONSIDERED SUSPECT. I RELATED THAT THE
f ROBBER OF THAT BANK WHEN HE ENTERED THE LOBBY, NOTICED THAT THE
TARGET TELLER WAS OCCUPIED WITH A CUSTOMER. THE ROBBER WALKED
TO A WALL DESK TABLE AND THERE SIMULATED NORMAL ACTIVITY BY
WRITING OR SCRIBBLING ON DEPOSIT SLIPS. WHEN THE CUSTOMER LEFT
THE TARGET TELLER WINDOW, THE ROBBER IMMEDIATELY TURNED FROM THE
TABLE y ACCOSTED THE TELLER AND COMPLETED THE ROBBERY. LATER
IN THE COURSE OF INVESTIGATION, THE VICTIM TELLER REMEMSERED THE
ROBBERY HAD BEEN OCCUPIED AT THE WALL TABLE DESK. THREE SAVINGS

suspect may be D.B. Coeger

SAN DIEGO — (AP) -— The
F. B. I. says it is investigating
whether a man arrested here for an
Oregon bank holdup may actually
be D. B. Cooper, the first successful
parachuting skyjacker.

Arvid Julius Kiperts, 48, of Porte

land, was arrested Monday in Sar
Diegd!s Ocean Beach area and or-
dered? jailed in fieu of $150,000 bond.

Coyper was the name uséd by a
man "who parachuted over Southwest
\Wasnington from a commercial jet

which he had hijacked on Thanks-
giving eve, 1971. To his chest was
strapped $209,006 in ransom.

Cooper was never arrested and
none of the money, whose serial
numbers had been recorded, has
turned up.

The F.'B. f. said Kiperts, charged
with an October 29 robbery at the
King City, Ore., Savings & Loan Cp.,
is suspected of 15 other Oregon bak
yobberies since 1970. Julius Maus
the F. B. I, special agent at Po

land, said a possible link with Coop-

, er was discovered at one of those 1

bank holdups.
Mattson said the incident took
lace in December 197) while a Wil-
spnville, Ore., bank was being
rpbbed. i:
V Arrangements are being made to
show a photograph of Kiperts to the
crew of the hijacked plane, an F. B.
1. official said. He said: Kiperts
roughly matches the description giv-
en of the hijacker.

{Mount Clipping In Space Below}

PORTLAND — (UPI) — The Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation says it
has definitely eliminated any
conection between a captured
bank-robbery suspect andthe elu-
sive skyjacker "D, B, Cooper" who
parachuted from an airliner in 1971
with $200,000 in ransom. ;

Julius Mattson, F. B. I. special
agent, said. yesterday the robbery
suspect, Arvidis J. Kiperts, 41, of
Vancouver, Wash., was not the man
who called himself Cooper in the hi-
jacking of the Northwest Airlines
jetliner.

The agent said Cooper was de-
scribed as thin but Kiperts is
stoky. He added that witnesses .to
the; hijacking looked at a picture, of
Kiger ts and said he was not Cooper.

The F. B. 1. said it had conclusive

He-may be bank robber,
but he's no? D.B. Cooper

evidence that Kiperts was some-
where else at the time of the plane
hijacking.

Kiperts was arrested j in San Diego

Monday night on an Oregon 'bank-.

robbery charge and is a suspect in a
second bank rebbery in Oregon in
which the holdup man doadléd the
name D, B. Cooper an a bank-depos-
it slip.

A man who called 'himself D. B. -

Cooper hijacked the plane between
Portland and Seattle on Thanksgiv-
ing Eve, '1971, and demanded the
ransom and four pardchutes, He
bailed out of the plane belween
Seattle and Reno and disappeared.
Kiperts is being held in litu .of
$150,000 bail and is scheduled ap-

' pear before a United States magis-

trate in San Diego November 19.

particular aircraft. According told any competent b6
mechanic, if given enough time, could remove panels from b7C

the airplane either in the floor or restroom area, secrete
himself in the space after fashioning some kind of device
to pull the panel or floor in behind him. He suggested
that the hijacker could have gotteninto the cargo area and
hidden in a box in the above manner. [___] theory was
that a mechanic with the airline could have accomplished
these things at any time when the aircraft was having

a major overhaul.

It should be pointed out that in all probability
the hijacker jumped from the airplane since there was
evidence of a pressure change when the stairwell closed
apparently after a heavy object jumped from the stairs.
The same pressure change occurred when a subsequent
demonstration was conducted by throwing a 15@ pound object
from the stairs.
