Dear | '

This letter is in regards to the parachuting skyjacking on
November 24, 1971 of a Northwest Airlines plane between Seattle,
Washington and Reno, Nevada. This case has, so far, not been
solved and the skyjacker who collected $200,000 is known only as
D.B. Cooper.

In a telephone conversation on November 8, 1973 withL__ si

at Northwest Airlines, St. Paul, Minnesota, we discussed
rewards offered in this case. He told me of rewards having been
offered of 10% of recovered amounts, or possibly $25,000 if all
is recovered. | also told me of a Seattle newspaper
offeriimg $5000. :

By telephone conversation on November 6, 1973 and personal meeting -.

possibilities of a| Jas a
suspect in the November 24, 1971 skyjacking. Since_November 8,

This #nformation re-opened the investigation of | las
a suspect. Until the November 8, 1971 meeting between Special

lon November 21, 1973 (three days before the sky-

jacking}. We gave evidence that .he is alive and also clues that.
there might be a link between him and the skyjacking.

This te i e as claim to any such available rewards
should be brought to justice in connection with the
parachuting skyjack of November 24, 1971 of the Northwest Airline.

Re Sacramento airtel to Alexandria, 10/9/73.

For the information of Seattle and Sacramento,
contact with Chief of Police PHILIP HOURIHAN, Federal
Aviation Administration, Police Department, Dulles
International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia, determined
that he is not aware of any information concerning the
identity of D. B. COOPER.

Chief HOURIHAN advised that he was only
joking when he stated, "What makes you think we don't
know who COOPER is?", and did not mean to indicate
that he or his department was aware of COOPER's real
identity.

In view of the above, Alexandria is considering
this matter as RUC.

Unsub may have made a trial run prior to NORJAK to
perfect his skyjack plan, therefore, leads were set out on
7/23/73 to determine the feasibility of obtaining passenger
lists for all Northwest Orient Airline flights .from Portland
to Seattle during the period 11/10/71 to 11/23/71. If passenger
lists of flights from Portland to Seattle for above described
period can be obt:.ined, then names on this list would be com-
pared to NORJAK indices and other lists currently on file at
Seattle, in order to possibly identify Unsub.

Prior to the 1973 hunting season which began in
October in the Pacific Northwest, information was disseminated
concerning this matter to all Washington State Game Wardens
responsible for the area to which Unsub parachuted. The Game
Wardens are currently making this information available to
all hunters they encounter in this area, As of 11/23/73, no
positive results have been obtained. The information being
made available to the hunters is as follows;

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

October 1, 1973

Dear Sir:

On November 24, 1971, a man parachuted into the be-
low described area with $200,000 in $20 bills. If, while
camping or hunting, you should discover any evidence con- :
cerning this skyjacking please contact the nearest FBI Office.

AREA INVOLVED

Bound on the west by US 5, bound on the south by the
Columbia River, bound on the north by the Kalama River, and
bound on the east by the Skamania - Clark County Line.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

1) The remains of a man, possibly dead for two years.

2) The remnants of a parachute, harness or parachute
shroud lines.

3) 10,000 $20 bills wrapped in a parachute canopy ,
all serial numbers are known and can be identified.

4) Deteriorated raincoat or overcoat.
5) Small briefcase or attache case.

REWARD

$25,000.00 total or 15% of any lesser portion of the
ransom money that is returned has been offered by Northwest
Orient Airlines.

If any information concerning this matter is discovered,
it should be reported to the FBI Office at Seattle, Washington,
area code 206, telephone MA. 2~-0460 collect, or to the nearest
FBI Office, which can be found by checking the front of your
telephone directory.

Very truly yours,

DB Cooper-12154

SE 164-81

On the premise that Unsub parachuted successfully
into the previously calculated area of Southwest Washington,
it is speculated he would have buried the ransom money and
his parachute and then hiked to the nearest road or highway.
From there, he would most probably have walked to the nearest
phone to call a friend or relative for the purpose of being
picked up.

Since all the homes in the drop area were checked
and no strangers were reported in the area on 11/24-25/71,
all the pay phones surrounding the calculated drop area
within reasonable walking distance (ie 15 miles) were checked
for long distance phone calls; Gong distance is the only
type of call which records can be obtained). A list was
compiled of the numbers called from the pay phones on 11/24/71
and 11/25/71.

The records are not time correlated, however, based
on the fact that the weather was cold and rainy during this
period and the skyjacker jumped at approximately 8:11 PM on
11/24/71, more significance can be placed on calls made during
the end of the day on 11/24/71 or during the beginning of the
day on 11/25/71. R

The names of all subscrisers called during the
above-mentioned time period were checked against NORJAK
indices with negative results.

The Seattle file review currently in progress at
Seattle continues. The purpose of this review is to determine
if any new information of lead value can be developed. This
review consists of an intensive serial by serial, subject by
subject analyzation,

This file review, which commenced 8/3/72, has
accomplished the following:

1. An intensive investigation has been conducted
of the Boeing personnel involved in the 727 air stairs test
with negative results.

2. A new color sketch has been made and disseminated.
The purpose of the change to color was to shown Unsub's age and
complexion more accurately.

3. Information concerning this matter has been
made available to hunters during the 1972 and 1973 huntirg
seasons. All results to date have been negative, however, the
remains of JAMES ANNIS, a hunter lost just prior to NORJAK,
were found in the drop area as a direct result of this publicity.

b7Cc

5. Feasibility of cunducting an aerial surveillance
of the NORJAK flight pattern to locate any articles discarded
by Unsub prior to jumping was investigated. This type search
was determined not to be feasible.

6. <A more accurate method of plotting of radar data
of the NORJAK flight using a computer was utilized and a new
search area was plotted. This new search area was searched with
negative results.

7. A review was conducted of the magazine and news-
paper articles written just prior to NORJAK in an attempt to
develop information concerning how Unsub conceived his hijack
plan. it was learned that approximately 12 days prior to
NORJAK, the first skyjacking involving a parachute was attempted.
Since this skyjacking was given a great deal of publicity at
that time, it is felt Unsub may have used this event to help
him formulate his skyjacking plans.

DEAR SIR
Y
HERE IS WHAT I SINCERELY HOP! TURNS OUT TO BE A TIP ON THE UNITED AIRLINES

HI-JACKING. AS I REMEMBER THE CASE, IN THE EARLY 1960,S THERE WAS A BANK ROBBED IN A
SMALL TOWN OVER ON THE SEATTLE OR TACOMA SIDE OF THE INLET. THE WAY IT WAS ROBBED KEEPS
! WORKING ON MY MIND, AND PROMPTED ME TO WRITE THIS LETTER.

I AS I REMEMBER THE BANK CASE, THE ROBBER TUNNELED UNDER THE BANK BLDG FROM

i A HILL SIDE, ABOUT 300FEET IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, HE TESN BLEW THE VAULT AND GOT AWAY
WITH QUITE A LARGE SUM OF MONEY, HE THEN GOT CAUGHT BY THE F.B.I. BY PASSING THE MONEY?

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU TRIED THE CASE AND WOULD REMEMBER THE NAME, HE WOULD PROBALLY HAVE

BEEN OUT ON PAROLE JUST ABOUT THE TIME OF THE HI-JACKING | —_
AT THE TIME , BUT I DONT REMEMBER THE MANS NAME, AT THE TIME I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH \

THAT JOB BECAUSE If TOOK QUITE A BIT OF SMARTS TO DO A JOB LIKE THAT, TO ME THIS MAN
WOULD HAVE ALT, OF THE QUALITIES TO PULL A JOB LIKE THE HI-JACKING, MR ALIAS D.B.COOPER

IS A VERY SMART MAN BUT IT BURNS NE UP TO SEE HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. YOU WILL PROBALLY

THINK I AM A NUT FOR WRITING YOU THIS LETTER, BUT I REALLY AND TRULY HOPE THIS TURNS

OUT TO BE A GOOD TIP. b6
b7Cc

Sarre.

PS THE MAN THAT DONE THE BANK JOB WAS EMPLOYED BY ONE OF THE MAJOR AIRLINES AT THE TIME
HE PULLED THE JOB.

Dear

Thank you for your letter expressing an interest
in locating the missing $20 bills obtained by the hijacker,
"'D. B. Cooper" on Thanksgiving eve, 1971.

Due to the limited supply of ransom lists and the
great demand for then, it is impractical as well as impossible
to make copies of this list available to the public. However,
if you feel you might have one of thc $20 bills, you can call
your local police ux sheriff's office and check the serial
number against their list. In addition, many banking insti-

tutions througLout the country have a copy of the ransom
list.

For your information, in addition to the $1,000
reward being offered by the Oregon Journal newspaper in
Portland, Oregon, there is a reward of $25,000 being offered
for the ranson money by Northwest Orient Airlines.

Thank you again for your interest in this matter.

Dear | | <

Thank you for your letter expressing interest in
lovating the missing $20 bills obtained by the hijacker,
"D. B. Cooper", on Thanksgiving eve, 1971.

Due to the linited supply of ransom lists and
the great demand for them, it is impractical as well as
impossible to make copies of this list available to the
public. However, if you feel you might have one of the
$20 bills, you can call your local police or sheriff's
office and check the serial numbers against their list.
In addition, many banking institutions throughout the
country have a copy of the ransom list.

For your information there is a reward of $25,000
for the ransom monocy and an additional $1,000 for the first
missing $20 bill turned in to the Oregon Journal newspaper
in Portland, Oregon.

Thank you again for your interest in this matter.

Sincerely,

3. E. Milnes

unusual activities and the results of recent extensive invest~

2ar Sir;

. Whether you believe the following information, and how I came-to obtain it is a
atter for you to decidd. By rejecting the information, you are still minus $250,000 and a
injac that has motivated hijacking and mass murdering abozrd Airlines.

I am in no way affiliated with EVIL, or the hijacker "D.B. Cooper." I am a man of
Xd, and when the times comes, you will know just how close I am xakingxntckkxfiemty walking with
xd. For the time being, we will let it stand, and get to the point.

, "D.B, Cooper" ordered the aircraft to circle SHA-TAC airport, as you well know.
gu also know, although it is not general public information, that a tape recorder had been
jund that had been issuing orders to the pilot long after "Cooper" jumped. What you do not know
mit God knows) is WHERE he jumped, and the disposition of the money. His letter to you sometime
ZO Was a EsyEkukeieak psychological blunder, pointing out the fact that he lost the money bag
fter jumping from the aircraft, due to the force of the wind ripping it out of his hand. Before
reveal the locality of the ransom money, (and I can pinpoint the sp ot where you can recover
6$) let-me f111 you in as to "Cooper's" N¥BXEX plan of operation. In the first place, he had
1 accomplice, whom I will reveal a little later. "Cooper" as you have suspected, is a "fire
moer" for the National Forest Service. The very name "D.B, Cooper" means, D ouble Back (to)
ooper (Lake)!")

When the aircraft circled around above Sea-Tac Airport, "Cooper" bailed out,
2aving the recorder running with directions, etc. He planned the jump so that the wind was
ming from the Southwest at a certain tate of speed, and would blow him toward the North-nortke
26¢{ His plan was to land in Cooper Lake, not far from Salmon La Sac, a public camping area.
> miscalculated the wind and drift, and landed instead in LAK# KACHESS!

I have shared this information with the F.B.I. and also the Secret Service, Both
ave stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgtes, woul
'£ you think? The Secret SErvice is So séérét, I wonder if they know what is real? But that is
eSide- the point. It is just exasperation upon my part, so forgive me my ravings, will you?

Now to the meat of the subject, as I told the above "sechrity" organizations:
'ienow the_exact whereabouts of "D.B. Cooper" and his accomplice, and also the EXACT SPOT that
Xlds the money hidden from the human eye. I will go a little further and say that Cooper, who
s about 35 years of age, and slighty, or a little more so, kkxat bald, is enjoying the holidays
-| his leisure with his accomplice, a very atbractive ted-headed woman of about the same age
1at has a miniature sized dog as a pet. (A check of the passenger list at the time of the hi-
ack, and the memory of 'one of the stewardesses will reveal this to you.) First things first!

You will find the two depraved and mad outlaws about four and one half miles in
na dirt road on the east side of lkke Kachess, which is, by the way, a dead end road. When you
ave captured them, and as God, even Jehovah the Father, is my witness, you WILL capture them,
ad the maximum penalty of DEATH is too good for them, you will then contact me at the above
idress, and I will lead you to the ransom money. I have tried several times to recover it, but
now know why I have been unable to. "Cooper" left the very unstable p&astic explosives in the
ag With the money, and only a qualifted disposal man should handle it. when the bag is recover~
i, The bag is slightly torn and a few bills are missing, but "Ya can't win 'em ali!"

I am mailing a copy of this letter to a frbénd of mine, |
ne Sattle Post*Intelligencer, knowing that he is an honest man, and that he will not foolishly
2veal this information for the same reason you won't. Skepticism, until prvof positive has er
sceived, You have your information, and the rest is between you and God (if you believe God snc
r betweeh you and the Devil, (because he would have you disbelieve so that the murder and anne
tions that are continuing to happen because of the Gesperado tame of this man has gone unchecke

ane, by the way, and when the# events
ave taken place, he is to have soul rights to the information and "Scoop." this is the will of
y Heavenly Father. It is also Jehovalits will that I receive the reward for Cooper, and also for
he ransom money, the total of which, as I believe, is $50,000. Along with that, out of the
indness of your heart, you will present me, as a messenger of God, with two honorary lifeOtime
imkets to all parts of the world on your airlines, and honoured by other aa the This is not
sry much to ask, for I will not use them for my own pleasure, but to spread the BRwORAEE Le481

; recalled recently a bank burglary which occurred in the early

1960's in some small town located between Seattle and Tacoma,

in which the individual responsible for the burglary had tun-

neled into the bank and had made away with some $75,900 in

eash. He added that the individual had to use explosives to

| gain entrance to the bank and as best he could recall, this in-
dividual was also believed to have been employed with United
Airlines at the time of "the burglary, He stated he could not
recall the subject's name nor could he recall the date or lo-
cation of the bank burglary, and he had no other reason for

. thinking that this individual might be the unsub in this matter,

other than the fact that it occurred to him that this bank

burglar must have been a very smart individual as he believed
unsub, aka D. B. COOPER must have been, and also, since he
recalled he was employed with United Airlines, he would have a
knowledge of the air transportation industry.

stated that possibly he could locate the news- b6
paper article concerning this bank burglary which was the source b7c
of his information, as it was written up in the Shelton Journal
which is only a weekly newspaper. He stated that he would re-
contact the FBI should he be able to obtain any additional in-
formation.

Dear Mr. Kelly:

Thank you for the recent copy of the extortion note

in the Trans World Airlines aircraft bombing case. It is

my understanding other communications from the offender

were received by telephone and transcribed in the offender's
jn words. Would it be possible to have copies of those
phone messages that dealt with such matters as the locations
'of explosives, leasing and dispatch of STOL aircraft, etc.?
Undoubtedly valuable psycholinguistic clues would be. involved
in these instructions, Is it possible any of these calls
were tape recorded?

I appreciate this opportunity for informal association.

Sincerely,

MONTGOMERY stated he used to live in Dallas
and was in an accident approximately a year ago from which
he obtained $60,000 insurance money, and that seems to
explain the money that MONTGOMERY apparently is spending.
The complexion of MONTGOMERY is fair.

Due to the above, no further investigation will
