RECOMMENDATIONS :

This Agent recommends reconsideration of | b6
as a possible in this matter. This is based upon the remarks b7c
made byL___] the possible use of smoking cigarettes which
have coupons, the low intelligent voice characteristics, the
technical knowledge of both the 727 and parachuting techniques,
and the remark made at Valdez, Alaska.

This Aqent recommends that the above three persons
at Valdez be contacted to_ascertain if they have any informa-
tion which would indicate to be the subject of this b6
case. It is further recommended that a full description of b7c

be obtained through the Boeing Company and ascertain his
association with the 727 aircraft. ,

Upon completion of the above two leads, it is recom-
mended that] ~ | be located and through active investigation b6
determine if he may be either marking remarks concerning the b7Cc

'NORJAK case or spending $20 bills which were paid in this

matter. If he has been continuing his heavy drinking, as
reported above, he may be unemployed and using the ransome
money.

D.B. Cooper's fate.

PRESS association reports on
the hijacking of a Frontier
Airlines jetliner in Nebraska re-
ferred to the "successful hi-
jacking" of a plane by "D.B.
Cooper" after take-off from
Seattle on Thanksgiving Eve,
1971,

We beg to take issue with our
wire-service colleagues. There
is no evidence that Cooper's ep-
isode was successful.

True, Cooper bailed out over
"Southwest Washington and dis-
appeared. True, the ransom
funds he carried have never
turned up.

But chances are, Cooper's re-
mains and those of a torn para-
chute will be found some day in
the limbs of a tree in the track-
less forests of Clark or Cowlitz
County. The money will be
there, too.

If Cooper had fallen into the
ihands of the law at the time of
this misbegotten adventure, he
might have been out on parole
today. Probably that would
'have been a more "successful" ,
'outcome for 'him: than- what
really happened.

When he first got out of the Army, in June,
1971, he first traveled around the south, for about a
month, before he came back home to California. He stayed
with his mom for a while and then when he heard he was
wanted in Alabama he moved in with her for awhile. He
then moved down to the San Jose area and from there he went
to San Fernando to work for the real estate company. He
seemed to have money and he frequently rented airplanes.
He was always a pretty good "spender", but she has no
recollection of his having any unusual amount of money
during the fall of 1971. He got his real estate license when

Police Department, furnished the following information: Buc

While returning ROBERT WESLEY JONES, also known
as Robert Wesley Rackstraw, from New York to California,
on March 3, 1978, he listened when JONES mentioned the
"Dp. B. COOPER" case. JONES had earlier refused to sign
a rights and waiver form.

JONES mentioned that he was one of 1500 men who
were members of the Green Berets and who had the requisite
Skills to pull off the COOPER caper. JONES claimed the FBI
interviewed all 1500 of them arid left the inference he had
been cleared of any involvement.

JONES furnished no other information of value
but his attitude during the entire time was that he was
vehemently against the "system", or "establishment".

It is noted that JONES had been forced to resign
from the Army about five months before the hijack took place.

Seattle Division will discuss this matter of

It is noted that RACKSTRAW is presently feigning a back
injury which requires him to be transported in a wheel
chair, and custodial personnel feel he is doing this
in an attempt to effect a possible escape attempt. If
U. S. Marshals are to transport him they should be

and Vietnam veteran and is highly skilled in the use
of his hands and feet as weapons.

For the information of the Portland Division,
RRACKSTRAW has been suggested as a suspect in this matter

Re Portland airtel to Seattle, 8/10/78.

On 10/11/78, one day prior to his trial in
Stockton, California, ROBERT RACKSTRAW rented a $55,000
plane from Bridgeford Flying Service and later that
day called in a "Mayday" advising that his vlane was
on fire and he was forced to ditch in the ocean approxi-
mately 12 miles out of Monterey, California.

Investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard failed
to find any sign of wreckage and it is helieved that

Re ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW, Sub #933

Re Sacramento airtel to the Bureau, dated 3/8/79.

as follows:

instructed to have the Portland Case Agent contact
by telephone in an attempt to determine the validity

of this claim and to evaluate the potential for benefit to this
investigation.

It is noted that during the period April, 1978 to
March, 1979, investigation has been conducted to eliminate
or involve one ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW. RACKSTRAW is now
only 35 years old, and at the time of the hijacking in this
matter, would have been approximately 28 years old. UNSUB in
this matter was described as late 40's or early 50's in 1971,

would indicate a disparity of approximately 20 years, and RACKSTRAW
would not appear to be a very good suspect.

RACKSTRAW has been the subject of highly publicized
prosecution for major crimes in California, and is now incar-
cerated in a California penitentiary. The Sacramento Office
advised in May, 1978, that at that time RACKSTRAW was in
custody feigning a back injury which required him to be transported
in a wheelchair. Custodial personnel felt he was doing this in

an attempt to effect a possible escape. It was noted that
RACKSTRAW is a former U. S. Army Green Beret and Vietnam veteran

highly skilled in the use of his hands and feet as weapons.

RE: DB Cooper
Dear Agent

On 22 February 2000, the History Channel presented a 30 minute documentary called

"In Search of D.B. Cooper". I remembered the hijacking and decided to watch the
program. At about the end of the program a statement was made that "jn February 1979,
the FBI thought they had their man." They put up a picture and I too
not believe what I was seeing. Then the announcer said, "Robert WeSley Rackstraw, age
35 was being held on another arrest charge and was later cleared in'the D.B. Cooper
case." I could not believe what I had just seen, but from the profiie of the hijacker, I can —

b6

_b6
b7C

see why Robert W. Rackstraw would have been a suspect.

f
This letter is not really about DB Cooper, but rather about bes W. Rackstraw and
he really is, if anyone knows.

Tam a former Air Force Officer and recently took an early retirement fro:
CA. I was| 4

[for the military and JPL. >
(4 week)

Last summer, University of Riverside Extension offered an accelerated
certificate program in Conflict Management. I felt that with

[__|Mediation and Arbitration would allow me to use my background to start a
new career. Robert W. Rackstraw wag pnd taught Mediation.

Robert Rackstraw held himself out as an attorney, but finally stated he had a JD but had
not taken or passed any state bar exam. I have my JD, and I asked him where he got his
degree, he mentioned several different schools but you could not get him to state the
exact school or year he graduated.

He bragged about all the international arbitration and mediation he did for a living. He
then told our class about all his military experiences. Robert was very hard to pin down to
specifics or time frames. He mentioned or bragged about all types of military operations,
awards etc. The man would have had to be over 100 years old to do all he said he has
done in life. His military career was like Forrest Gump. He was in on every action, some
CIA, that our country has encountered since WWIE.

Robert showed me a picture in an Army Class A uniform with jump wings, and pilot
wings. Since I have three children in the military, two of them at West Point, and being

former Air Force Officer, he talked te me about his military experience IT

| formed a group to conduct mediation and b6
arbitrations. Because of his "experience" in mediation and arbitration, we asked Robert if bic
he wanted to join aur group to set up a web site. [

He agreed to join our group but provided a very limited resume for our website. He listed

BS, BS, JD and LLM but gave no school. He them mentioned mediating 3100 cases but

he was ney j ing bis r but had very little facts to b6
deal with. b7C

Our group is composed of professional's in law, contracts, real estate and government.
After seeing the History Channel program, I taped the second showing and got our group
together to review the tape. We are all in agreement that the man shown on the History
Channel, "In Search of, DB Cooper" is Robert Wesley Rackstraw, a member of our
mediation group. He was 35 when he was a suspect in the DB Cooper case. That was
1979, and he would be 56, which is his age now.

Our concern is that Robert Rackstraw holds himself out as a non practicing attorney,
dealing with all the various judges, courts and dispute centers of Riverside and the
surrounding areas. He was hired for a short time at UCR Extension as director of Public
Law and Policy. The FBI had him arrested for something else and he was a suspect in
the DB Cooper case. Our group is very concerned being associated with him, if he has a
felony record.

Our group has tried to check him out and has been unable to find any law school from
which he might have graduated, the address he gives in Lake Elsinore is an industrial
park and his military experience is very questionable.

The History Channel stated that he was arrested, it did not say convicted. We would like
to know if we should be concerned about associating professionally with this man.

The group has always been concerned about Robert and his stories but felt it was better to
have him on our side, than to have him mad at us because of his mouth and contacts all
over the court system.

There are a few of us that feel that maybe you did have your man and he talked his way
out of the situation. The man is very much a loner. They stated the suspect worg sun
glasses, was a chain smoker, had military experience, possible jump and flying
experience. Robert matches all of those clues. We have checked and he owns no property
in California, he has several different email addresses, and phones that forward to other
numbers. Just a strange man. None of us would be surprised if he was DB Cooper.

Please let us know if any information on Robert Rackstraw's arrest is opeii to the public
forseview atid if so how we can obtain a copy.

Dear|

In reference to your letter dated February 29, 2000
concerning Robert Rackstraw, I am sorry to tell you that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can't assist you with what
you are looking for. While arrest records are usually
considered open records, the FBI can only supply an arrest record
about a living person to another person if the person whose
record is being sought signs a waiver giving up his privacy
rights.

As for the issue of Mr. Rackstraw passing himself off
as an attorney, you may want to contact California law

enforcement authorities. Most states have laws making it illegal
to practice law without a license.

For your information, I will pass your letter on to
those investigating the D.B. Cooper case.

Sincerely,
