00: Seattie

With an inservice being planned for agents handling liaison
at major airports and discussion planned at this in service
of several hijackings inciuding NURJAK it is felt the following
suggestion is in order at this time.

The five year statute of limitations on NORJAK will run in
November, 1976, It is suggested that consideration be yiven to
having one or mere individuals in the >S eattle vivision at as
tine begin familiarzing themselves in a most compicte way wit
ali detai is of this matter. Undoubtedly as the five ycar
anniversary date aporoaches the Portland and Seattic Divisionas
well as other Divisions wnd the Bureau will begin to reccive
detailed inguires on what is to be done to estop the statute,

When the decision is reached on what is to be released all
RAs should be advised so that the appropriate answer may be given
to inquires from news media.

Immediately advise Atlanta of any reward

previously offered by Northwest Airlines is still being
offered advise if this reward is a fixed reward and,
therefore, hasm contingencies. Specifically, determine
if this reward is contingent upon the recovery of any
ransomed money. It is assumed this reward would certainly
be contingent upon the arrest and conviction of the hijacker

as is the reward offered by the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer".

Also advise if the $5,000 reward previously

(BUfile 164-2111)

Enclosed are four (4) artist's composites, 2 black
and white and 2 color, depicting the NORJAK unsub with and.
— without glasses. Also enclosed -is one copy of a flyer dated
5/11/76 describing information previously handed to hunters
in the Worthwest to aid in their identification of any evi-
dentiary items that might be found during the hunting season
and a confidential list of investigative steps to process
NORJAK suspects.

THE CRIME

On 11/24/71, a lone white male boarded Northwest
Orient flight 305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22
P. M., while the flight was enroute to Seattle, Washington,
he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case 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 Seattle, Washington, North-
west Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After
he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed
all passengers -and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

He then ordered the remaining crew members into the
first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he de-
sired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that

the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low
altitude and slow speed, which would enable the rear door of

the plane to be opened during the flicht.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere between
Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the plane landed
to refuel. It was determined the hijacker, two parachutes and
the ransom money had disappeared when the plane was inspected
at Reno, Nevada. .

Artist's conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered a
reasonable likeness. The black and white composite was pre-
pared initially and sometime later, the color composite was
prepared to depict the hijacker's' complexion and age more
graphically.

The hijacker is described as follows:

Race: ' t White

Sex: Male

Age: Mid-40's

Height: : 5'10" to 6!

Weight: . . 170 to 180 lbs.

Complexion: Olive, latin appearance,
medium smooth.

Hair: Dark brown or black, parted
on the left, combed back.

Eyes: . Possibly brown; during the

latter part of flight, the
hijacker put on dark, wrap-
around sunglasses with dark

; rims.
Voice: Low, spoke intelligently, no
particular accent.
Characteristics: Smoked Raliegh filter-type
cigarettes.
Wearing apparel: Black or brown suit; narrow

black tie (clip-on type);
black rain-type overcoat or
dark topcoat; dark briefcase
or attache case; carried a
paper bag 4 by 12 by 14 inches;
'brown shoes.

— The enclosed mémorandum and its enclosures were
disseminated to personnel in the Seattle Division in order
that all Agents would be in a position to cover any leads
concerning this matter and, in addition, to aid them in
answering questions concerning this matter, which will surely
come up as the five-year anniversary of captioned crime draws
near.

Due to the voluminous nature of this case, a report
was not prepared in that it was determined that the use of a
memorandum would facilitate getting the appropriate information
to the Agent personnel in Seattle. ;

It is felt this will satisfy the inspection require-
ment requesting a summary report for internal use be prepared
during the Seattle inspection of May 10 through 24, 1976.

ROM

THE beginning,

it had a kind of ee-

rie, hypnotic charm.

Déspite all the best pre-

cautions, the man on board

the jethad a bomb. And there were

4lother persons sitting around him.

» For Northwesterners, the scene

had a_ special kind of horror.

Friends and family were on board

Northwest Flight 305, now sitting

ominously mute and isolated on

Runway 16R with no visible signs
of activity on board.

The atmosphere at the Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport was
heavy with a suspended, time-in-
slow-motion feeling, even as telev-
ision cameras covered the
"event" live from the distant pas-
senger terminal. '

The runway lights, dimmed on
demand to a faint glow, helped
very little in defining the lines of
the sleek 727, parked in the cold
night in front of the airport's ad-.
ministration" building. Even the .
squatty truck, disgorging the' aro-
matic jet fuel, was almost a sil- |
houette, its lights and rotating bea- |
con extinguished.

Inside, the man in the dark rain-
coat sitting in the last seat on the
starboard side was served up an
unusual offering. A white cfoth

sack and four squat parachutes.
phe sack held a six-inch-thick rec-
angular package weighing 271,
pounds. It contained 16,080 $20

It was November 24 1871. The
next day was Thanksgiving, —

Just after 3 o'clock, Capt. Bill
Séott Gf Minneapolis esxsed—the
plane out of a shallow, climbing
right turn toward a_ northerly
heading. The seat-belt signs were
still on. ;

-In the aft cabin, the swarthy

man who had never removed his

dark sunglasses beckoned to a

stewardess, Tina Mucklow, and

quietly handed her a note.

It said he wanted $200,000 and |

four parachutes: two backpack
type and two front packs.

For added incentive, he opened
his ordinary-looking attache case a
few inches and showed her the
contents: several red cylinders
connected by wire.

The long-haired, blond steward-
ess nodded understandingly and
began to make her way up the-still

sloping aisle toward the locked
cockpit door. |

Mr. D. B. Cooper had announceél
his arrival.

As the plane neared, then passed
Seattle, passengers began to pt

nervous — for
the first time, bat
for the wrong rea-.
son. '
"People began to ke
concerned when it circled
around Whidbey Island for an
_ hour or so," Robert Gregory of
Puyallup, who sat four seats away
from the icy-nerved Skyjacker, re-
called. :
y They thought something was
wrong with the plane," he said.
About 5:45, Captain Scott
touched the plane down and rolled
it smoothly to a stop, but in front
of the airport's administration
building, a half mile from the pas?
senger terminal. At the same mo}
ment, the stewardesses stood up,
-Squarely blocking the aisles and
Scott spoke emphatically over the
loudspeaker, ordering passengers
to please remain in their seats and
not to move until told to.
They fidgeted in their seats,
multering. Gregory's seat on the
port side was blocked by the stew-

jumper" — routinely racing the yardess, Tina Mucklow, standing

asked her.

very still. .

"What's the problem?" Gregory
"Don't look back," she caul
tioned, keeping her eyes fixed or}
the other stewardess in the for
ward cabin. Both girls looked "A
little ereen," Gregory recalled.

No announcement was made
thatanytking was wrong," bul tie
plane's back door, for exiting pas- |
sengers, remained bolted and the
passengers remained in their

| seats, fixed under the glare of the

seat-belt sign. No one had seen
any weapons.

TWENTY MINUTES dragged
by. The crew conferred frequently
over the plane's intercom. Then,
heads looked up as Ms. Mucklow
walked slowly toward the rear of
the plane carrying a large white
cloth sack. Everyone knew-it was
a money bag and everyone knew
what it meant. '

Then, at 6:50 p.m., the passen-
gers and two remaining steward-
esses were directed off. Gregory,
who had noticed the man earlier
on a trip to the restroom, turned
as he left and got a good look at
Cooper. .

"No, he didn't look calm," Gre-
gory recalled. ""He was very wary,
watcliing everybody that moved
very |ntently." . k

It was suddenly very quiet on
the airplane. Cooper had told Scoit
he "wanted fuel out here right
now" and he was assured that the

airline would
cooperate com-
pletely.

The silver-haired pi-

lot was playing it slowly:

and calmly. So was airling
headquarters in Minneapolis.
The company had requested the

Federal Bureau of Investigation -

'net to take any- action in-trying to
beard the plane.or capture the sus-
pect. ;

4. Earl Milnes, then special
agent in charge of the bureau's
Seattle office, agreed to comply
with the request in every way.

The minutes oozed by. Finally,
the plane was fueled but with only
2,300 pounds. Cooper extinguished
the last of a series of Raleigh fil-
ter-tip cigarets, then ventured cau-

tiously over to the plane's inter- ,

com.

"He just told me he wanted to
go to Mexico City,"? Scott remem-
bered.

"He didn't specify the route. He
just wanted to go at 10,000 feet."

The skyjacker also ordered that
the' 727 fly with flaps down 15 pe
cert, and the landing gear low-

_ ered.

"fe seemed very rational,
Scott said. "Calm and_ sclf-as-
sured."

owheets and flaps down, wordd-brrr
a tremendous amount of fuel and
could never reach Phoenix, the
normal first stop.

_ A Seattle-to-Reno route would be
"a wise choice for a wise hijack-
er," the tower proposed. Everyone
agreed.

The pilot set a commonplace
Victor 23 flight plan over Portland,
Eugene, Klamath Falls, then
southeast toward Reno.

Dinners were cautiously placed
on board, Tina Mucklow was or-
dered to leave her seat next to
Cooper, 'where she had ridden
most of the flight, go into the front
section and close' the curtain. The
aft cabin lights were turned off.

At 7:30 p.m., the tower cleared
Flight 305 for takeoff, and quietly
advised Scott he would
company" all the way down to
Reno with "one plane above and.
one plane below."

WHEN THE 727 lifted off to be-
come a tiny dot in the sky, radar
operators tracked a total of eight
additional planes shadowing the
three-engine jet. Six jet fighters,
one jet trainer and an H-130 rescue
plane with emergency gear and
jumpers were launched from bas-
es in Washington, Idaho and Cali-

_ fornia. No one was able to main-
tain constant visual contact.

The 727 was lumbering along at
its slowest possible cruising speed,

past and had to backtrack.

The weather was worsening.
Rain clouds quilted the ground. As
soon as the plane was level, Coop-
er ordered Scott to open the rear
fabin door, which on the 727 was
lider the tail section, and hyd
d irs. Red lights winked in the
dockpit as the pressure dropped,

chen adjusted. No more instruc-
tions: Just the subdued rush of air.
_ Then, at 8:13 p.m., slightly more
than half an hour after the plane
took off from Sea-Tac, one of
'Scott's panel gauges flopped a few
ltimes, then settled. t
\ Passenger Cooper had debarked
[Flight 305. !
"YEAH, I packed his para-
chutes," said Earl Cossey, 35, of
Seattle. '
Cossey, a long-time sports jump-
er, provided the authorities with
two of the four chutes delivered.

The plane, flying with the.

"have

and the other ships kept shooting .

"They were just emergency ~

backpacks. ®édally," they're just
used for aerobatic pilots or glider
pilots or someone who would use a
single parachute for a lifesaving

, event only. It wouldn't be like a

sport parachute."'
Was Cooper an experienced sky-
diver? .
"Heck, no," said Cossey, "at

| least, not as far as sports jump-

ing."
Cossey theorized that the hijack-

- er may have been a military para-
-trooper since he at first turned

down parachutes coming from Mc-
Chord Air Force that would open .
too soon after jumping. The other !
factor was his selection of which
parachute to use.

"One was more: of a sports-type
chute with a harness that was real-
ly, really comfortable," Cossey ex-
plained, "and the other was a mili-

,tary-type with a very uncomforta- ,

ble harness. And he picked the one
that was not comfortable. But they
were both equally safe."

In appearances only, as it hap-
pened, for one of the other two
chutes, hastily borrowed from <
Linn Emrick of Sky Sports, Inc.,
was a nonfunctional ground train-
ing chute with the canopy com-"
pletely sewn together.

Cossey said his remaining chute,
left on the floor of the plane, was
returned to him and is now a
treasured souvenir. Officials fig-
ured, he said, that Cooper had '
stripped the nylon from the two
other parachute containers,
packed them full of money,
walked out on the undulating rear
stairway of the 727, and dropped
into the rain—blackened sky.

Could he have made it?

"Oh, yeah," Cossey insists, firm-
ly. "In fact, there was a time that .
I} had high hopes of inaking a du-
plicate jump. The airline wanted
to take that same model airplane
and go over in the Spokane area
where it's very open and let a
jumper prove that it could be re-

done. It was all set up but then fell

through due to insurance prab-

lems. But it's easily done.'

Cossey, who has looked at a lot

® of equipment turned up in the
woods by the F.B.I. over tite

- years, feels he can identify i

1} hand-assembled chute if it's found.

"1 have a little secret deal with
the F.B.1.," he said, with a smile.
He told them, "if you ever catch
him, 1 get to talk to him about how
he accomplished it."

, planes,

THE SEARTH AREA was pin-
pointed with surprising precision
from a combination of recording
instruments on board the plane, its
speed and altitude, the suspect's

- weight, and the 23-mile-an-hour

wind blowing that night from the
northwest. The 'figures were all
fed into a computer at Fort Lewis.
"We were able to fix a 'ground
zero'," Tom Manning, F.B.I. resi-
dent agent at Longview, said.
"Looking at the possibility that
the parachute did not open, and

'allowing for trajectory of the body

from the plane and of the free fall
and so on, we started: at -ground
zero and then proceeded in a
southwesterly direction, angling
toward St. Helen's (Oregon)."' |

The search started off pretty
big, Manning recalls, with dozens
of agents, sheriff's deputies from
both Clark and Cowlitz Counties,
volunteers with fixed-wing search
and helicopters from
Bonneville Power, the National
Guard and even The Weyerhaeu-.
ser Co.

"A diamond-shaped area, rought-

"ly 150 square miles, was divided

into six sectors for the search
teams. It centered in the Merwin
Dam area, about 20 miles south-
east of Kelso.

The terrain was mainly low hills

' with heavy underbrush and a lot of

first- and second-growth timber.
There was some flat terrain along
the river bank, but mostly the
search concentrated for almost a
week in the rugged country be-
tween Vancouver and Kelso.

"If a guy isn't too well versed in

hitting into those tall trees, he'd

get hung up real easy," a Weyer-
haeuser forester, Dick Bohlig, .
said.

Even though the land is cruised
occasionally, "you could, walk al-
most right underneath it and un}
less you weren't looking straight
up, you'd never see it," Bohlig
sdid. "If you ever go out and sta
looking for people in the woods, .
about the only time you ever. find

——?

THE SEARCH subsided, then
flared up countless times, with
Manning's agents checking out an
endless supply of leads. At the be-
ginning, tantalizing rumors began
to unfold concerning several uni-
dentified aircraft, landing and tak-
ing off in the hijack area that day.

The F. B. I. painstakingly
checked 'out all the planes and pi-

lots and cleared them. all._

Residents of the two nearby
communities of Ariel and View
were busy watching each other,
sometimes witha smile, and any
Stranger in the area, especially

spending $20 bills, was sure to be ©

watched closely.

Information sheets were distrib-
uted to hunters and campers fre-
quenting the area, detailing the
items the F.B.1. was interested in
finding.

The word flashed to Seattle. A

body had been found just outside

Woodland. .
"Two sisters looking for antique
bottles found it," J. Earl Milnes,
then heading the case, said. ©
The women, poking in an aban-
doned cistern, uncovered what ap-

peared to be a foot and human -

limb and deputies were called. |

Officials cut an opening in the .

bditom of the cistern'with a chain
saw and began to remove the
bédy. When it was identified as a
woman, Milnes returned the case
to the loca] authorities.

"TI was just waiting for some
smart alec to come back with:

*« "How do you know D. B. Coop-
er wasn't a woman?' " .

WHERE HAD the elusive Coop-

'er gone? °

Seemingly, every place was
searched. South of the Lewis Riv-
er the stretches of flat, open land
had been gone over meticulously.

*To the north, even the heavy blan-

ket of trees had failed to diminish
virtually a foot-by-foot search.

The Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration in Reno pointed out that
the plane, on landing, had taxied
slowly enough for someone to es-
cape. This possibility was investi-
gated, but finally was dropped.

Letters, purportedly written by

Cooper, turned up in various news-
papers across the West.
f One "confession" said he, Coop-
dr, had committed the crime be-
gause he was "in a rut."
# Another insisted that he was
Cooper, and that he only had 1M
months to live,

In late 1972, two Kitsap County
men were convicted by-a-federal
prand jury of* extorting $30,000
from a former- Newsweek editor
for a phony "interview" with the
skyjacker.

Northwest Airlines offered a
$25,600 reward for all the money,
or 15 per cent of any 'lesser
amount recovered, and The Qre-
gon Journal promised $1,000 for
the first $20 bill from the foot.

Back in Clark County, one
psychic reportedly offered de-
tailed theories to the F.B.I., ~and
even a "water witch' joined the
hunt with a forked stick. .

Through it all, the real D. B.
Cooper never.stood up. ,

Then, last January 12, it seemed |
the big break had come. Two hunt-
ers found a weathered skull 10
miles east of Estacata, Ore.
What's more, clothing, human re-
mains and a parachute were found
with the skull. .

A medical examiner announced
the deceased was a male, all right,

but at least ten years younger tha |

the suspect. :

SO WHAT'S the answer? A'
grown man just doesn't vanish into
nothingness. Or does he? .

The opinions of those who ought .
to know, the people who "knew
him best," are as Yar-reaching as
the boundaries of the search map.
Here aresome: ;

A senior F.B.1. man:

"YT think he made it. I think he

slept in his own bed that night. It +

was a clear night. A lot of the
country is pretty flat. He was
flying low and slow and all he had
to do was walk out on those stairs,
and jump.

"He just could have walked out.
Right down the road. Hell, they
weren't even looking for him there

* at that time. They thought he was

somewhere else. He could just

walk down the road. There's noth- °

ing suspicious about that."
Agreeing that no body was ever
found, nor any parachute * or
shrouds, he explained simply, "he"
could have carried that with him."

Earl Cossey, veteran parachu-
tist:

"T have a hard time speculating.
I have to divide it into he's either
a very small hole in the ground,
which means he didi't get the par-
achute open, or he's laughing at us
all. I can't decide which." .

Dick Bohlig, forester:
"Tt could very well have been

Fea Ne

possible for him to land south of
the Lewis River. There's quite a
bit of flat, open ground. He could"
-have easily landed in that. And if
he did, then he'd be home free." _

Pilot William Scott: .
"Nothing's turned up so I don't -
have the slightest idea." -

_Tom Manning, the F.B.1.'s Longe.
view resident agent:

"This is strictly a theory. I have
no foundation that I can back it up.
with, but I feel that he's in the-
lake. Lake Merwin."

Manning explained that prior to
the [skyjacking, two fishermen cap-
sized their boat in the middle of
the| lake and their bodies were
never recovered. One reason for
this, he said, was that the bed cf
the two-mile-long lake was never

clear-cut of heavy timber prior to
the valley being flooded during ©
construction of*Ariel Dam at Lake
Merwin. Area residents report .
that heavy windstorms frequently,
pring up a lot of floaters and snags

"from the fairly good-sized trees

that were left in there. | i
tn. theory—strictly a theory,
nderstand—is that he. did hit the
lake, and because of the weight of
his body, the money,.parachutes, ~

vand the force of the landing, he

went. down and is hung up on a

" snag."

_And the parachute's nylon fab-
ric, being underwater, would not
deteriorate, as it would under full
gun. Moreover, Merwin 'is an .

"extremely cold lake," Manning.

said, which he felt would prevent
{the generation of body gases.
"Body gas, as you know, is the

. thing that forces (the body) to the

surface" because of the creation
of buoyancy. But Lake Merwin,

Manning said, "would be like put-
ting a man into one of those deep
freezes."

Stan Pitkin, United States attor-
fey:
; "I don't think there's any ration
21 conélusion but that the man i
jong dead. And both he and th
money are probably decom-
posed."

. DOES THERE come a time,
then, when you finally give it all
up?

PRESS MATTERS

For the past several years, the FBI, like many
other Governmental agencies, has had an "open door" policy
with all members of the news media, with the result that
each Division now has a Special Agent who operates as that
Division's news media relations man. It is his responsi-
bility for establishing and maintaining relations with all
news media personnel and to handle all routine inquiries.
The Bureau has instructed that whenever an inquiry is
received from a newsman, whether or not this particular
reporter has or has not written favorable or unfavorable
articles about the Bureau, he should be treated as courteously
as possibie. Naturally, if the person is inquiring about
policy matters, the inquiry should be referred to the SAC,
or in his absence, the ASAC.

With regard to matters pertaining to pending inves-
tigations, future arrests or major cases, there appears to be
some confusion, therefore, for the purpose of clarification,
I would like to point out the following:

1. Routine inquiries in Headquarters City should
be directed to SA| | (News Media Representative'
for this Division), and in his absence the SAC or ASAC.

2. Routine inquiries at Resident Agencies are to
be handled by the Senior Resident Agent unless it is a case
that has received -some notoriety or is going to get an inor-
dinant number of inquiries, then it should be referred to
Headquarters City. The Senior Resident Agent is the only
person authorized to talk with the press, and he should make
certain that any statement is in accordance with current
existing regulations.

3. Whenever a case Agent has an investigation of
any consequence or a major incident occurs, i.e. shooting,
arrest of well-known figure, it is his_responsibility to
promptly notify the SAC, ASAC, and SA Jin order that 0 » b6
all inquiries can be properly handled. The case Agent should bic
not hesitate to notify the above, even though the incident ,
occurs over weekends, holidays, or after normal working hours...

4, Case Agents are not to offer opinions, state-
ments, or speculations about cases when they are approached
by members of the press during or after investigations.

Concerning the above items, it should be pointed
out that the D. B. COOPER case is receiving a great deal of
publicity because of the approaching anniversary date of the
hijacking. In order that the FBI can speak in "one" voice
about this case, it is important that .all press inquiries be
referred to headquarters. This is to avoid inconsistencies
such as individual Agents speculating about what might have
happened in the COOPER case and these inconsistencies being
pointed out by the members of the media.

I again want to point out that the FBI's policy with -
the press has been established by the Director and has been :
approved by the Attorney General. This policy is general in
nature and common sense should dictate in most instances how a
particular incident should be handled; however, the above
guidelines are being reiterated at this time. If there is any
doubt in your mind about how to handle a particular situation,
it should be resolved in favor of immediately notifying the
SAC, ASAC, or news media representative.

Yinn County Sheriff's Office (in which county Parker, Kansas,

Linn County and has been familiar with virtually every
person in the small Parker, Kansas Community over_the

ast twenty years. He advised that no one named

MIZER advised it is possible that a person so named could

have lived in one of the far lying rural areas around x
Parker, Kansas for ery short period of time, however,
he feels that if ever did live in Parker or in

,the Parker rural area, he (MIZER) would have become

aware of his presence, had he stayed there very long."

A plan has been devised to try

The plan involves nationwide
publishing of the serial numbers of

given to persons who turned in bills
later.

The FBI says, however, that .
even if Cooper beats the rap, he
won't be able to go public. The IRS
believes Ceoper owes back taxes
amounting to $218,000, which in-
cludes interest and penalties, for -
his plunder.

Seattle, was interviewed by the writer at the Seattle Office
or the FBI, following his voluntary appearance there, and his
request to speak with an FBI Agent. _H8 is presently attending
Clover Park Vocational School (ext.

After tuyxrn denying his request tao have a newspaper reporter
present during the inkerview, SA asked for his business,
replied that he has absolute proof of the identity bic
of "D.8.COOPER".,. He further stated that he had arrived at this
"proof't with his friend, telephone oo and
were most anxious to bring It to the attention of the FBI.

jthen proceeded to outline a theory that COOPER 6
was &n cahoots with the crew members of the aircraft, to carry ouP7°
a "Mission Impossible'' type operation, just to say they had done
it; that "COOPER" left the aircraft with the passengers; that the
crew members had "burned''t two parachutes on the plane, and had
either burned the money or had concealed it on their bodies when
they left the aircraft at Reno. He stated that "COOPER" could thus
be narrowed to being one of the listed passengers.

| lis quite serious about the theory, and delivers 6
it in a very dramatic manner, obviously having rehearsed portions >'°
of it for the most drmmatic kind of impact. He states he ts going
to take his story to "the press't and will call Northwest Orient
Airlines with his theory to énforce its being followed up properly
by the FBI. , ,

The writer thanked him for the information, stating the
information would be brought to the attention of the case agent.

the following as it per-

tains to the examination of the trousers submitted on

11/23/76.

The laundry tag, although it is partially

disintigrated contains what is believed to be a complete

serial number A-317, however, a portion of this serial
number area was disihtigrated 'and there could possibly

be an additional digit in front of the 317.

WhictLo hers "one" and the partial letters "MARTI"

which

elieves could possibly be the One Hour

Martinizing cledning and would be' a good possibility
for further investigation regarding the trousers.

'The waist on the trousers measures 42" with

an inseam of 31".

In addition,

He stated that the serology examination regarding
body fluids is still. being conducted and we will be advised

of the results when completed.

He further stated that there

is no way that the Lab can tell as to how long the trousers
were in the area but from general appearances it is not
believed that they have been there five years, however,
there is no test that can be run to give the exact length
of time the trousers were in the tree.

| —_ladvised that the Lab report will be forth-
coming but he wanted to furnish the above inforamtion

for our investigative leads.

November 30, 1976

Dear Mr. Reed:

I am terribly sorry to have been so
long in replying to your letter of October 21
in regard to the Post-Intelligencer's $5,000
reward for the arrest and conviction of D. B. Hf
Cooper. Unfortunately I have been out of the
city and also have been wrestling with the
problem of the reward.

We finally have concluded that the
offer of the reward will end as of December
31, 1976. Should you have any inquiries about
the reward after the first of the year, you,

.. therefore, can-inform the individuals involved
that it,no longer is in effect.

man appeared to be very frightened and was very reluctant

to come into the camp and particularly, into the buildings.

He ran from them at least twice and had to be coaxed back.
Finally, they were able to talk to the man and he_immediately
requested that he be taken to the main highway.

stated that he asked the man where he had come from, and
what he was doing, and the man said that he had been hunting
up in the canyon and that he had been staying in one of the
summer cabins.

[stated the man indicated he was hunting
elk, and that this immediately arose his suspicions, as
elk season had been over for two weeks. They asked where
his hunting equipment was, and the man claimed that he had
fallen in the creek and lost all his gear. However, he was
unable to explain his dry clothing. Further, he never
explained how he arrived in the area and there was no car
visible around the camp, or on the road to the camp.

stated that he is very familiar with this
area, having hunted elk and camped at the church camp numerous
times, and stated that without driving a vehicle down the
church camp road, a 35-mile hike would be involved to arrive
at this location. | stated that further observation
indicated to him that while the man appeared to be acting
intoxicated, he was in reality quite sober, and appeared
to be very frightened and very cold. He recalled that the
temperature at that time was about 22 deprees.

He described the individual as a white male,
28 to 35 years, 5'10", 185-195 pounds, muscular—solid build,
light brown hair, slightly curly, slender face, reddish
complexion, clean shaven, did not appear to be dirty or
unkempt, as if he had been camping. The man was wearing
a short-sleeved wool Pendleton shirt, brown, gold and green
in color, and underneath it he was wearing a grey flannel
sweat shirt. He was wearing Levi's andl~ ~ Jeould not
recall his shoes.

The man continued to insist upon being trans-
ported to the highway and offered to pay any amount of
money for transporation. When the men declined, he started
walking down the road. At this point, the men restrained

him and offered to discuss the situation further . They

then woke up at which time b6
they asked the man for identification. | Istated that bic
when he asked the man if he had a wallet, he,

patted the man's shirt pocket and_felt something. The
man stated he had no wallet, and | withdrew a bottle
of pills from the shirt pocket. The man indicated that
the pills were a prescription.

[__|stated he recalls the pill bottle bore b6
a label from the University Village Pay and Save Store. b7Cc
He stated he could recall the label because he once sold
Breck Hair Products and called on the same store, which he
knows to be located in the University District near the
football stadium in Seattle. He stated further, that he
could recall something of the prescription num » the

first three digits of_which he believes were| and
possibly ending with r recalls
the doctor's name was @ or something

Similar. He stated he does not think the man's name was
on the label or at least he has no recollection of it.

He stated the man may have told them a name, but he could
not recall that either.

During this time the man continued to request
to be taken to the highway and again offered to pay, at
which time he produced a large roll_of $20.00 bills, which
also included some $100.00 bills, believes. Payment b6
was declined py |___lana three of the individuals then bic
agreed to take the man to Ellensburg. He stated they left
at about 1:30 a.m., and arrived in Ellensburg at about
3:00 a.m. The man again offered to pay them, which they
declined, but agreed to let him buy them breakfast at a
24-hour cafe, located next to the Holiday Inn in Ellensburg.
After ordering, the man excused himself to go to the restroom
and when he did not return, the men went to the door and

saw the man running west on Highway 10 towards Seattle.

[advised that he also recalled the man b6
saying something about living in Seattle in the University b7C
District, possibly on Third Street near the east end of
the Aurora Bridge.

[___s|statea that the men returned to the b6
camp and the next morning he and possibly two of his b7C
friends, were suspicious of the man's story and followed
his foot tracks back up the canyon to the summer cabins,
where they found on_of them had been burglarized, obviously
by the same man. [___|speculated that that was possibly
where the jug of wine was obtained. He stated that he followed
the man's tracks approximately another mile up the canyon
to a@ point where they went up a steep hillside.

[| stated that at no time did he ever see b6
any vehicle or vehicle tracks that could have been connected b7Cc
with this individual.

stated that later that afternoon,
went out to the car radio to listen to the Oklahoma—Nebraska
football game, and heard about the hijachking. He stated
they briefly joked about whether the man they saw the previous
night could have been the hijacker, but did not give it
any serious consideration. He stated that he was further
dissuaded from believing there was any connection after
seeing the composite photograph of the hijacker and the
flight path of the aircraft, which were published in the
newspapers, as they did not fit this incident. He also
later heard that several people knew the identity of COOPER,
so he believed the case was solved. He then learned that
these people were prosecuted for furnishing false information
and did not want to get involved in a similar situation.

b6
b7C

stated however, that the composite photo~
graph he saw during the Thanksgiving holidays, 1976, on
television does appear to be similar to his recollection of
this man.

The following-outline is the result of many hourS of research
Le

by | and we be~ AC

live that this information will lead to the arrest and conviction

of "Dan B. Cooper", and the return of the money taken,

Dan B. Coopers "ILLUSIONS"
A. The public and the FBI believe the following:
1. On November 2h, 1971 Northwest Orient flight 305 left
Washington DC for Portland Oregon, then Seattle Washington,
2. Shortly before landing in Seattle a note was given to
a stewardess to relay the following information to the pilot
a» Lt have a bomb in my briefcase;
b. Do the following: Relay I will exchange all 36 passengers

for $200,000 in twenty dollar bills, and ) parachutes.

3. All the passengers, plus 2 stewardesses were released in
exchange for the above.
lh. Money and chutes on board, Cooper positively identified
as being on board the aircraft ~ Aircraft now lifts off.
a. 8 fighter jets now tail the aircraft at slow speed, with
the door in the tail section of the aircraft open, all the way
to Reno Nevada.
1. All the fighter pilots report that no one left the aircraft
b. The aircraft now lands, FBI agents and police engulf the
atreraft and are convinced that Cooper did not get off the dircraft

in Reno Nevada.

c. Lodigicol assumption is to assume that Cooper had to

parachut off the aircraft between Seattle and Reno Nevada. 164-3 ] - TLEO

@ @

1. The search now starts for Coopers body, and the money,

a. everyone is throughly convinced that mr. Cooper is

without a doubt dead.

b. 5 years later still no evidence to indicate that Cooper
had indeed jumped. The money is still missing. Not one .of the $20
dollar bills has ever turned up in circulation.

ad. Cooper is now made a national hero, the public, and the FBI
are still stumped as to the whereabouts of Cooper or the money.
The following information has been abbreviated to indicate our
main findings.
A. Flight 305 starts as a routine flight from Washington DC to
Portland, then Seattle.
1. Mr. X dressed as himself now leaves DC for Seattle.

a. Mr. or Mrs. X upon arrival in Portland departs the aircraft
with the portland passengers, even though his ticket axually reads
to Seattle. | )

, b. Mr: or MrsX now changes clothing, and now is ready to re-
board the aircraft as a ticketed passenger known as Mr. Dan Cooper,

2. Just prior to touchdown Mr. Dan Cooper hands the stewardess
a note indicating her to have the pilot to do the following:

A.I have a bomb in my briefcase have the pilot relay the following:

1. I will exchange all the passengers aboard for $200,000
and l} parachutes.

2. The return message came that we will follow your instruc~-
tions as indicated if you release the passengers first.

B. Passengers were now released as:asked to do, in good faith.

DB Cooper-15135

==== Part 38 · PDF page 452 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-15154 ====
i. Before the passengers were released off the aircraft the following
took place as scheduled.

a. Cooper now changes back into his origional clothing of Mr. X.

il. A crewmember, most Likely the 2nd officer puts on the clothing
that Cooper originally had on, to complete the second part of Coopers
2. 35 passengers, plus Mr. or Mrs. X and 2 stewardesses now de~
part the aircraft, all of -these people probably state that they saw
Cooper on board the aircraft. (Actually they «must have been convinced
that the 2nd officer was Cooper at this point.)
3. Actually you have 2 people playing themselves, and Cooper.
Mr. X plays himself, then Cooper until the plane lifts off, upon
which he resumes his real idenity, creating the illusion that there
are 5 people on the aircraft upon take off, when in reality only
) are indeed aboard.
3, Money and chutes are now put upon the aircraft, and -the flight
now lifts off for Reno Nevada. )
4, 8 fighter jets.now trail the aircraft all the way to Reno.
1, The aircraft flys at slow speed, and low with the door in
the taii 6épen to create the illusion that Cooper would indeed jumpout.
-B, On the aircraft ) crewmembers, not. 5 ~ because there was no Cooper-~
complete -the following:
1. All the evidence aboard the aircraft must be destroyed.
a. The dummy chutes, $200,000, and any other evidence is now
all burned, YES I SAID THAT THEY DID INDEED BURN EVERY LAST 20

DOLLAR BILL OF THE $200,000. ~THE ILLUSION IS NOW COMPLETE~ NO COOPER,
NO MONEY, NOCHUTES, NO EVIDENCE ARRIVES IN RENO NEVADA. -.

lh. Upon touchdown in Reno the fighter pilots now state that Cooper

did not jump, and that nothing left that aircraft. |
DB Cooper-15154

2. The FBI and police now engulf the aircraft, certain that Mr ,

Cooper is aboard. After a through search: of the aircraft, and crew,
they are convinced that Mr. Cooper had indeed jumped without them

detecting his jump,

THE GREATEST MADIGICAL PERFORMANCE EVER HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED Ps
WITH THE LARGEST POSSIBLE AUDINCE -THE WHOLE WORLD.

1, The crew of this aircraft were nothing but actors that were
probably paid very well to put on this fine performance,

2, You must realize that the money was not the motive in this
fine madigical feat, the money was no more than a mere stage prop
that had to be burned to complete this fine Series of illusions.

3. This shows you something about our Mr. or Mrs, Cooper. Cooper
has to be a very Well to do person, such as an actor, or magician,

he InS years the FBI has been trying to. find some evidence to
indicate that Mr. Cooper jumped, and in 5 years they have not been
able to prove this fact, no body, parachutes, or money has ever -
been found.

The above information has been presented to you to be notorized

and signe al |to represent the research b6
b7C

that| have concluded, that in our opinions

i

may lead to the arrest and conviction of Mr. or Mrs. Dan B. Cooper,

Dear Sir:

Sunday's Lexington Herald-Leader carried a lengthy article
about the skyjackipna of a Northwest Orient plane going from
Portland to Seattl@ nearly five vears ago. The skyjacker b6
gave the name Pan Gooper. It is about that crime that I am b7C

writing. lod¢- J-

| the United. Methodist Church in Liberty, Kentucky, wa
(Casey County) for g Very soon after the sky-
jacking a man named came to the community and
started buying farms, businesses, etc. Many wondered where
he got his money. I believe tHat he had a doctorate degree
in education - taught in a unkversity in the state of
Oregon and also taught at the Gommerset Community for a
while after coming to Liberty.'The thought has often come
to my mind that there may just be a connection between the
crime and his sudden appearance in Liberty with a lot of
money. This tip may prove to be of no help but I did want
to tell you.

I have_been gone from Libertv since June '75 and am told
that no longer lives there. He does have relatives b6
there. Larry Bowmer, Chief of Police can provide you with b7¢c

additional information should you wish to pursue this.
