Having met with| lin the

Green Mountain area, southwest of Ariel, Washington, I was dir-
ected byL___]to an area: about| ina
heavily wooded area. He-pointed out a pair of tattered pants
hanging from a small.bush and stated these were the pants he

had located about October22 or2%3, 1976, when he was hunting b6
deer in the area. bic

The pants were identified and placed in a small plastic
bag. The immediate area was walked' over and examined but nothing
was observed except for the debri of the forests. Nothing was
seen that would indicate anyone had been in the area as there
'was no sign of any material in the area.

The sight was marked for future search and the pants
were taken to the Portland office of the FBI where they were
prepared for shipment to the FBI Laboratory, Washington, D.C.

| advised he
was deer hunting on or about October 23, 1976, about
Jand saw a movement in the trees. He said he
thought he saw a deer and approached the area, only to notice
a pair of pants hanging in the trees. He said it was about
25 feet from the ground and the pants were covered with leaves
and fir tree needles. He continued that he obtained a long
stick and removed the pants from the branch it was resting on
and examined the pockets looking for identification. He said
the pockets were empty so he left the pants in the trees.

LT __Jpointea out he did not think too much about
'the pants only that they did not appear to be pants that a
logger or possibly a hunter would discard in the woods. He said
in his 40 years in the woods he never saw pants hanging from

a tree that height from the ground before. He said he read

some of the recent articles about D.B. COOPER and thought the
pants might be important in that investigation.

be. Do the following: Relay I will exchange all 1 36 passengers

for $200, ooo in twenty dollar bills, and parachutes.

3. All the passengers, plus 2 stewardesses were released in

At approximately 11:10 p.m. on 12/14/76 an anonymous
white female telephonically advised that she is aware of the
true identity of D. B. COOPER. She refused to furnish
COOPER's real identity but stated he is employed with United
Airlines (UAL) at Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CHA). She recently
observed a composite photograph of D. B. COOPER in a Cleveland
newspaper, and she advised she was overwhelmed by the resemblence
o£ the composite to the un-named individual who works at UAL.

p——Shs_advised that un-named individual is a white bé
male, but that he looks to be in his mid-40's. b7Cc
She further stated she believed this individual to have been

a paratrooper and that he might passibly be currently en-

listed in the Air National Guard at either Columbus or Mans~-
field, Ohio.

Throughout the telephone call she continuously
refused to furnish the Look~alike's name but advised if the
composite photograph were displayed to employees of UAL at
CHA, this man's identity is certain to be determined.

photograph the various branches and point out various banks
in the Seattle area that had furnished funds for the ransom.
I told him I would be unable to furnish him the names of the
banks without the individual banks' concurrence and since I

as the case agent was presently on annual leave out of the
State of Washington. made no further request regard-

the reports which photograph was shown to him by the Portland
Office. This photograph consisted of three different pictures
of the rear door of a 727 open with a sled approximating the
weight of D. B. COOPER being pushed out the door. I advised
him I did not know if we had the negatives to this picture

RE: UNSUB;
TROUSERS FOUND IN AMBOY, WASHINGTON
11/23/76
SUB 858

On 1/17/77, a check was made with several laundries
that specialize in martinizing in the Seattle area, and it
was learned that laundry tickets are customarily stapled to
trousers and other items as they are received from the customer
for cleaning. The number and letters on these tickets correspond
with a code which is a sequential numbering system. 'The first
character in the code is an alphabetic letter and the second
character in the code.is a number, ranging from 1 to 10,000.

When a customer brings in an item for cleaning,
such as a pair of trousers, he fills out a cleaning form
requesting cleaning and putting his name on the form. The
date of pickup and the cross reference. number also appears
on this form. The number on the form could be A-1 through
10,000 and a corresponding tag would then be stapled to
the trousers with that number A~l through 10,000, so that
the trousers could be located in the event the customer
does not show up to claim his cleaning items.

Most laundries vary the first letter from A-1 through
10,1000 to B-1 through 10,000, etc., until the end of the year,
at which time they normally start over again-with A-1 through
10,000; however, this is not a hard and fast rule and with
just a number such as found on the trousers in this case,
. A-317, it would be impossible to determine who the customer
was who had the trousers cleaned. It might be possible in
some cleaning establishments to determine the customer if
the trousers were recently cleaned by checking past ticket

receipts, but this would not guarantee that the customer
would indeed be the customer that dropped those trousers
off in that the numbers are repeated over and over again
on a sequential basis.

In addition, cleaning establishments do not save
their records in a uniform manner as one establishment may
save records for five years, another may only save records
for three or four months.

Finally it was learned that most laundry cleaning
establishments use this system and therefore, it would be
impractical to contact all the laundries either specializing
in martinizing or not specializing in martinizing, in the
State of Washington, and possibly even in the State of Oregon,
to determine the owner of the trousers. It is felt that
this lead would be unproductive and because of the measurement
size, that of a waistband of 42" and an inseam of 31", and
also because of the fact that it does not appear that the
trousers were in the wooded area for a five-year period, no
further investigation, concerning this aspect of the case
willbe conducted at this time.

She was displayed two photographs of BRYANT
COFFELT. She identified COFFELT as having been employed
as a used furniture salesman on an intermittent basis from b6
approximately 1963 to 1970. COFFELT worked on a commission b7c
basis and on occasion he would leave from work without
notice and return some months later saying he had taken
a medical course somewhere in the Midwest. She said(__]
hired COFFELT back because 'he was a smooth
talker and a good salesman. She, however, considered him
a phony because she never believed he was taking medical
courses. She was unaware of any of COFFELT's private life,
his associates or hobbies.

She did recall, however, that at one time COFFELT
showed up at the furniture store driving a Cadillac limousine..
He was in the company of an elderly man. It appeared to her
that COFFELT was acting as a chauffer for the elderly gentleman.

He also was attempting to sell him some old furniture since
the elderly man was interested in antiques. She was unable
i to recall any additional information about the incident.

She described COFFELT as follows:

Airport by SA| furnished

the following ITIrormation:

On the night of 11/24/71. during fas hijacking in
this matter, he, a Gontinental Air-

lines flight-between Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon.
He became aware of the hijacking by radio and followed the
progress of the hijacking by monitoring the discrete radio
frequencies in his own aircraft.

Jadvised that he departed Seattle-
Tacoma Airport enroute for Portland shortly after Northwest
Flight 305, which was being hijacked, and that he followed
the same course flown by Northwest Flight 305 but was approximate
four minutes behind the Northwest flight when it arrived at
Portland.

hdvised that in his twenty-four years
flying airliners, he recalls that night of 11/24/71, as being
the most rapid and severe weather change in his experience.
He said that when he was approaching Portland, along Victor 23
airways flying a course of approximately 166 degrees, he was
experiencing a wind directly from 166 degrees at 80 knots of sped
at his altitude which was 14,0@ feet. He said that the wind

at 10,000 feet was approximately 65 knots and from a dixction
of from 160 to 170 degrees and that when he Landed at Portland
International Airport, he landed to the east: on runway 10 and
at that time experienced surface winds of 35 knots coming from

160 degrees. He remembered these figures beause they were ~>.:

near the maximum cross-wind component allowable for is aircraft.
| ladvised that he has flipybht 'considerably »¢
about the hijacking in this matter and has corié{uded that it is b7c
not realistic to assume that the hijacker survived''the jump.

He said that in view of the very dense terrain in'the drop

zone area, he can understand why the hijacker's remains have not
been found. He suggested that orie way this might be facilitated
would be to place identical equipment to that known to have bean

in possession of the hijacker, that is, two parachutes,!' an attache
case, and the known clothing on a large open field on a day of

warm sunshine. Ater exposure to the rays of sun for a period

of time, the entire field should be photographed with infra-red
film. The image on the infwrred film should be distinctive.

Then, photographs of the drop zone area could be made with infzred
film after a similar exposue to warm sunshine and the films, when
processed, could be examined for an image similar to that made by
the "dummy" | pointed out that in view of the almost:
complete absence of man-made objects or metal objects in the
'rugged regions of the drop zone area, there should not be any
materials there which would yield similar images.

Infirmation available to Portland indicates the wind
believed to be in effect in the drop zone area at the time tHe
hijacker parachuted was coming from the southwest, If that is the
case and the Northwest engineers who computed the location of the
drop zone and the prime line along which UNSUB presumedly fell
were using southwest wind information, then the calculations of
the location of the drop zone may .: not be accurate. A shift
of wind from the west to the south would push the east end of the
prime line to the north in a counter-clockwise direction. It
could cause previously unsearched territory to the west of the
drop zone to be includel in a new -amended drop zone.

RE: NORJACK

In addition, Xerox cards of the following si:
individuals are being furnished to Seattle:

; There

is limited information on the Xerox cards which may be
beneficial to the office of origin in setting forth leads.

It is suggested that Seattle obtain photographs
of the missing persons reported above, either from police
departments or through contact with relatives for display to
witnesses if similarities are noted. It is also suggested
that the artist's conception of Cooper be displayed to the
relatives of these individuals to determine if there are
any similarities. Advise Bureau of results.

On March 29, 1977, |
| Washington, home telephone

information:

stated he was flying on Continental Flight
306 which originated in Burbank, California, with a stop
over in San Jose, California, and another stop in Portland,
Oregon, and then the final destination was Seattle, Washington.
CP btatea he landed_in Seattle at approximately 5:30 P.M.
on November 24, 1971. [____Jadvised that it was his recollection
that Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 landed at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport at approximately 5:32 P.M. on
that same night. Jadvises estimated time of departure
was 6:10 P.M., but he actually left Seattle at about 7:09 P.M.
to fly back to Portland, Oregon.

advised that when he landed at Portland the
wind was from 160 degrees at 35 knots and this was approxi-
mately 7:49 P.M. During the flight down to Portland, |]
noticed that his cruising altitude of about cts. | = that
is

he was flying into a headwind of about 60 knots.
explained that on the way to Seattle from Portlan
ground speed was 480 knots, but on the way back down to
Portland his ground speed was only 420 knots. According to

the wind apparently was shifting from PPT ee 160

Enclosed for Seattle are' Xerox copies of missing
person index cards which generally fit the description of
captioned unsub. oe 8

In connection with captioned investigation it was
suggested by the Criminal Investigative Division that a
Jmanual search of the missing persons indices be conducted
'here at FBIHQ Identification Division. Approximately 5200
cards containing information regarding missing persons
were reviewed in an effort to identify logical suspects who
were reported as missing at about the time the hijacking
occurred. .Identification Division personnel were furnished
with a composite description of Dan Cooper and as a result
the below listed white males were déveloped as suspects.
ach of the individuals were reported < as missing during latter
1971 or 1972. ;

This search was based upon the presumption that
unsub may have perished during 'the jump from the aircraft -
and that some relative somewhere may have filed a missing-
person report. . t, , .
