. The plan that they finally come up with was to demand more than three
to four chutes and then take the plane into Nevada. Just as they were
coming into Reno they were to bail out. Their plan was to tether the
chute to the back of the aircraft, hold it open and jump out when the
point was right. In six months, then, they would split up the money.

The group was to throw a benefit over at the hospital in a big clearing
down amongs t{ They would have jugglers and this kind of thing.
This would give the group an excuse to be there. They would then divide the
money.

The kept changing the plan all the time to make it better. Finally,
they figured they would just £111 all the seats in the back section. All
the guys wanted to get in on it as witnesses, too. It was kind of catching.
They would go along and split up their shares, I believe it was split up
four ways.

[would take part of the money, cash it around the country and then

"he would give either the guys or the pilot the clean money six months later.

Part of the plan was that_one of the guys who had a car with California
plates on it (I think it was| |) would park it uptown
someplace, or along the road leading into a place where there would be a
lot of cars around. The plan got kind of elaborate. It ended up they
would get a bunch of green stamps, a certain number, which they would fold
up. They would then use the numbers/letters on the green stamps to indicate
the license number of the car. The plan they ended up with was simply to
take a large number of green stamps where they would be the only ones to
have that number/letter on them, One of the guys was able to do that. TI
think. this is important. He was able to get that section of green stamps.

I think it was $2,500 or $500, or something of this nature. The plan ended
where they wrote with a felt pen the license number of the car that

would be in, then they would go along and get in the car at a later time.
He was to leave the window open.in his car and then he would stick them in
through the window. The meeting ended up that the green stamps actually
got wrapped around his windshield wiper and they got together that way.

The pilot and the stewardess.also had a part in it. She had control
of the seating. She would get on the aircraft early and also they would be
seated in the back.section. She also had the keys to a locker where they

would store the parachutes to make it look like he had paractl

know whether he could make this jump or not, so they had to bring another

did not like to do that, but they found a guy who would jump out of the
plane with the money. This man liked the plan. One of the group brought
him in the back way. He came in at the very' last minute.

In the end,[ _] decided to go ahead and do it himself. The outsider

ground whe came out of the plane so that if anything happene

could help get away. [-__Jwas to take several thousand dollars to a

place that one of the guys knew about up along the Columbia. He was to

plant it there to be found and to throw everyone off this well laid plan.

The time now comes down to the pilot's job. He was to take the plane
and fly it over to the landing lights. He was to come in across the first
beacon (the light on the end of the tall pole), hold to the left side and
then they were to bail out, then he was to bring it back in.

Part of the plan was that[____|was to have someone on the ground. b6

would have that because he did not want to wait the six months. He would
have it cashed through his connections in Reno and there would be no trace
back to him. It would be' done practically before the plan ever got down
on_the ground. That was another man who was in on it. This man was known

Aboard the plane, they were all seated. They had filled up the back
section with their people. At the very last minute two other guys came
in just because they: wanted to go along for the ride. These other two
were not even going to get a share. There were several that knew about
the plan. These guys paid for their own tickets and were up in the other
section, which made it even better. The plane filled up with passengers.
The reason for taking this flight at the last minute - Thanksgiving Eve
or whenever it was - was becasue this flight from Seattle to Portland
was the only time when the airline would allow a husband and wife team
to fly on the same plan. At least one guy at the airline knew the pilot
and stewardess were married.

and so immediately the stewardess rushes him out. She said "Everybody
take their seats back up there. You have to get back up there. We're
going to take off."" She ran him out and. just on the way as she is push-

ing him out comes back. She says "You have to take your b6

On taking off, they had agreed that the note was to be given to the
stewardess who did not know what was going on because she would act more
realistic, They got the money and people started getting off the plane.
Some said they would stay aboard. Several in the back section got off
the plane, plus the ones in the front section to make it looks more realis-
tic. There were those sitting in the back section who remained on the
plane, At one point, the co-pilot comes back to see ig has bailed b6
out and they tell him that he had. He says they could take seats up in bic
the other section of the plane. One of them said he didn't want to move
and the co-pilot said "Well, that's okay. Just stay in your seat." One

for the chute and to store part of the money. Their plan was to go around

the country and cash it. He had[_]go out of the cave first and give

when he came out of the cave.

and he is about] [years old. icalled his son

because he felt he was having a heart 'attack and he had his son go over to
the cave, He described to the boy exactly what he wanted him to do. The
son went in the cave and found the little shelf that his father had dug in
the wall of the cave with the dirt packed in it. He has one chute over

the top of thie suitcase. The boy pulled the suitcase out. The parachute
was also there. He was to cover them back up. The boy did what he was told
only when he pulled the suitcase off the ledge he was in a hurry to get out
of there and the suitcase edge caught on the parachute and pulled it out on
the floor of the cave. The boy threw the suitcase out the opening and
brought it back.

As the boy was coming back to where his dad was, there were some other
kifids playing around the crossroads. A kid came up and the son opened the
suitcase and showed this kid all the money that was in it. There was not
that much still in.it. His dad called him from the doorway and told him
to come on in. They soon took off from that place and the suitcase was
left in the attic. It had only a business card in it with some initials,
3-4 sets of initials.

They then were to go to this meeting. They put on a | etc. b6

not gotten all the money cashed. He thought he should have a bigger share
of the money because now the FBI was notified by the guy who found the
suitcase and they had spotted all this money. He felt that since the FBI
knew who he was, or was on his tail, he should have a bigger share of the
money to keep on the run, to keep out of their hands. It was important
that he not be caught. I think most of them went along with that idea.

Some of them had gotten their shares, but one share had not been passed.
They arranged a place to pass money and information.

Sometime later on, I realized through conversations I had overheard
that someone knew about who had witnessed what went on aboard
the aircraft. A couple of men were talking in a group and said that he was

the only one who could tie them in with that hijacking. They decided to
eliminate him sometime in the future. There also was talk about getting °

did not see us. He could not tie us in." They did not say how ¢
going to get rid off ___—s«dyYs«I: ~knew this guy was now a cop someplace, but
I did not know where.

I tried again to get in. touch with the FBI by writing them a letter.
i wrote the letter myself - admittedly not a great letter, I related no
more than I had to, trying to get' them interested. I waited for a response,
but got none. I just threw it away finally. -Later on, I find out by seeing
it in the newspaper that[__| the only witness, had had an attempt made
on his life. His life was spared because he wore a bullet proof vest.
With this information, I felt IL should write him a letter and try to get in
touch with him. I wrote to him in care of the Los Angeles Police Department.
I did not hear anything.

The FBI had three agents out looking for the money after this thing in
the. field around these lights. I did see them spot the paracute rigging
that they had used, the strap which had been thrown over there. One of
them started to pick it up and then another said, "Leave it there. We'll
pick it up on the way back." There were a lot of parachutes in this area,
so they just left it there and I believe they did pick it up later. Also,
this same area, later on these guys went back to see if there was any money
there. They were just looking around. They knew____] They were_in on
this thing. Possibly this is the gangster, the money changer that
had on the ground. Also, one of these parachutes was found by a young boy
and he drug it out. It reached the floor of the cave where| went
in to pick up the money. They spotted it later on. These other boys were
in there playing with it. The parachutes had a dye mark or some kind of
mark printing and there also was a swirl sewn over it, latest model of a
colorful parachute. Also, there is another incident in which a couple of
apparently FBI agents entered a cave in searching the area and one of them
related that this particular cave had an entrance, doorway, in it where
you could actually walk right in rather than climb. In this cave, about 10
ft. in there were a couple of real huge foot prints, several inches deep on
the floor of the faety One of the men related "I wonder who those belong
to?" The other one said, "Well, if we knew who those belonged' to, we'd
probably have our man." I go back now in_time to when those foot prints

was, "How could you get mixed up with these people?" Then I think
they tried to quiet down the fact that he was married to the stewardess

Dear Sir:

While watching a television program depicting the

of the thief who has never been apprehended and was

xeminded of a former acquaintance who moved to b6

1965.

His name is| | a former employee of the

Clay County National Bank in Spencer, Iowa who I under-

stand is unemployed and has been for some time.

i have no knowledge as to his military service and any

connection with parachute training and I am merely going

on the strength of the picture and his whereabouts.

Gentlemen:

Recently I saw a television program that concerned itself
with the 12 year old skyjacking involving D. B. Cooper.
This is the one that took place in the Pacific Northwest
where the skyjacker bailed out of an airplane with
$200,000.00.

. While watching this show the program put the | artist's
_sketch of Mr. Cooper's face on the screen numerous times.
I am not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me or I am
fantasizing, etc., however, if I could have a copy of that
artist's sketch of Mr. D. B. Cooper and any other material
concerning this incident which, of course, would have to
be of public record, I would be able to put my mind at
ease as to the fact that I may have or may not have ever
met or known this person in my past.

I spent four (4) years in the United States Air Force and
Served in the Far East during the Korean conflict. I don't
know if it was during this time, but at some time it seems
I have seen this face.

Sincerely,

To SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P) Date 2/28/84
From SA
Subject : NORJAK

On February 15. 1984,
| Seattle, Washington, was
contacted and furnished information that a possible individual
who could be D. B. COOPER, had dealt with his company in 1972,
in regards to purchasing a tot in the Lewis County area. He )
scri eing

in Lewis County. He stated that the lot
had been sold to an individual who was a builder whose last
name was[_—rijana that this particular person had another
friend with him who was a pilot and who resembled the composite
photograph of D.B. COOPER. He did describe this individual,
however, as .approximately 5'9", slender in build, and being in
his mid 30's in 1972.

In view of the fact that this individual was in his
mid 30's in 1972, he is not old enough to be the hijacker in
this particular case, and no further investigation is being
conducted.

Certificates

A special Certificate was brought out for giving of
Appointments, expressing to a person any high degree of
gratitude, or for a special invitation.

To express our pleasure for the comfort and attentions
reccived on the Ansett ANA flight which took Prince Leonard
and Princess Shirley to South Australia for their first Royal
Visit to that State, on behalf of the Province Prince Leonard
gave Certificates to the crew and hostesses aboard,

Certificates of bestowal or investiture of peerages or
Knighthoods are also issued following the official act.

Appointments

We quote from Robert Drewe in his column "Perspective" in
The Australian of Friday, August 17, 1973:

"In a quietly impressive ceremony near Adelaide yesterday
our favourite royal family, Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley
of Hutt River Province, appointed Angle Vale Wineries official
suppliers of wines to the Royal Household.

"This is the first such honour bestowed by the Royal Family
on a company since they seceded. . . in 1970.

"After touring the vineyard and winery the Prince and
Princess, who are in Adelaide on a Royal visit, conferred the
honour on Pat Auid, Angle Vale's managing director."

A line of eight wines has beer commissioned thus far.

Sir Richard Marshall was appointed as Consul pro tem
pending official acceptance of his credentials. Meanwhile Sir
Richard is representing the Province in South Australia. The
Provincial Flag is being flown at the Consulate where Sir
Richard is in residence.

et

Honours Bestowed

Four peerages were created in {973 and are in accordance
with the Book of Peerage of the Hutt River Province. These
were the expression of a desire to give some recognition to
these people who not only had contributed or had qualities
worthy of high recognition, but were also extremely active in
advising us on many subject matters. Thus when considering
giving such recognition the fact that an Earl is categorised as
an advisor made it quite appropriate to bestow three of these
people with Earldoms. The Earldoms created are:

"Earldom of Phoenix" was bestowed upon Robert David
Pope on 12th April, 1973.

Mount Secession is in an area of land which is designated as
the Earldom of Phoenix. This rock outcrop predominates the
whole of the central valicy of this Principality.

"Earldom of Nain" was bestowed upon Frank Burrill Pash on
12th April, 1973,

The Chapel of Nain is in an area of land designated as the
Earldom of Nain which is situated in a prominent position
looking out over the central valley. Perhaps God may have
blessed this Chapel, of which more is written elsewhere in this
booklet. ,

"Earldom of Astron" was bestowed upon Margaret Amelia
Isobel Sheen on 27th May, 1973.

Lake Serenity, a smail lake on the higher elevations of the
Province, is in an area designated as the Earldom of Astron.
On this lake gather water birds of various species, enjoying
the serenity of their sanctuary. At times mankind must envy
some of the serenity of nature which he himself does not
always capture. pon

r—

Nene. 45

"Baronetcy of Tucson" was bestowed upon John Steven
Whatley on 15th November, 1973. Lord Whatley is a United
States citizen and is Postmaster General of this Principality.

The Valley of Tucson, in which a lake is proposed to be"
formed, constitutes the Barony.

THE HUTT RIVER |

PROVINCE

Seceded from the Australian Common-
wealth the 21st April, 1970, the sovereignty
of this independent state is by judicial law

invested with the Government in occupancy, °

the Administration Board which has bestowed
the title of Prince on Leonard George
Casley, The Administrator.

The Capital of this independent sovereign
state is developing within the 29 square mile
area of the Principality of the Hutt River
Province located some 60 miles north of
Geraldton and 28 miles northwest of North-
ampton, Western Australia.

Buildings already completed in the build-
ing program which is well under way are
The Administration Building and Hutt River.
Province Post Office, the twin Gift Shops
divided by a covered breezeway, the Rest-
aurani/Tavern, a five-unit Motel, and the non-
denominational Chapel of Nain which was
blessed 29th August, 1973 by the Rev. F. W.
Catley, Rector of the Northampton Anglican
Church. Two christenings have been con-
ducted in the brief period since the opening
of this Chapel.

A horse riding academy is being formed
with the aim of having a stable of 20 horses.

Construction of a swimming pool has been
completed.

There are about 30 now in residence, but
the flow of tourists reaching as many as
2,000 in one week creates much greater
activity than this number would indicate.
Overnight accommodations are in the plan-
ning stages for early completion,

All development of the Principality, both
residential and industrial is being carried out
subject to consideration of Ecology and the
Environment first. There is an abundance of

wildflowers. Kangaroos, water birds, emus,
bustards, etc. are also here. Preservation of
these flora and fauna is of prime importance
to the Administration Board, as well as the
residents of the Province.

Tie Principality has its own Coat-of-Arms,
flag, Postal Department with Provincial pos-
tage stamps, visas, wines commissioned for
the Royal Family bottied by Angle Vale Win-
eries of South Australia, etc.

Social Services such as Child Endowment
are provided by the Government in occu- -
pancy, these services having been relin- <-
quished by the Commonwealth of Australia
Social Services Department to the Govern-
ment occupancy effective from the date of
secession,

Alt new buildings are being designed to
have paintings and other art items as an in-
tegral part of the structures. All works on
display thus far are by Western Australian
artists. It is the desire of the Government in
occupancy to encourage local artists. To this
end an Art College is planned for construc-
tion in the near future.

Honors Lists thus far include three Earl-
doms, One Barony, and six Knighthoods.
Others are under consideration as people
from outside the Principality give valued as-
sistance and advice, both to the Government
in occupancy and to varicus important ser-
vices and activities outside the Principality.

For turther details you may secure the of-
ficial publication. "THE BIRTH OF A PRINCI-
PALITY" at the Gift Shop in the Province
or by writing to: The Administrator, Hutt

it definitely reminded him of someone in his past, from
his military service, but he had no further idea of this
individual's identity.

stated that this was why he was so reluctant
to actually meet agents prior to this. He just felt he
did not know anything of real value, and would just prefer
to have the photograph to look at. In this way he hoped
that he could, at some time in the future, remember whom
it reminded him of. At the conclusion of the interview,

xeroxed a couple of copies of the artist's conception
and advised that he would contact FBI if he could recall
anything about the person who it reminded him of.

Att: Agent bic

With reference to the above matter, enclosed is an article which explains the
area where the treasure is suppose to be located along with a map which shows
Lake Merwin. My client believes that Cooper's chute failed to open and he fell
in Lake Merwin, where he and the treasure are still located at. The directions
he has given me are as follows:

L. 1,525 to 1,532 yards east from Ariel Dam.
2. 189 to 225 yards from the south side of Lake Merwin north, and
3. around 746 yards from the north side of Lake Merwin south.

Hopefully this will be enough information to try and locate the treasure. If I
can be of further assistance, please let me know.

"communication because I have found it to be
very safe and efficient. I am making three
tapes at once. One for you. One for me and
one for my lawyer. The reason for this tape

is to see if I can expedite our negotiations

on what we discussed at the Billings airport.
At this point, _—s«|i would like to state
that I will review this tape and I may edit
part of it, parts of it, so if you find some
blank spots, you will know why. First I will
tell you what I want in this business trans-
action, then I'il explain why I think it is
reasonable. What I want is for the ATA to make
a five year 1.5 million dollar interest free
loan to
| | which is a company that I am just
Starting and, uh, I believe that you'd be

able to utilize me in other parts after

this. I'll explain that later. Anyhow, at

the end of five years, you can have your

1.5 million dollars back. This loan will

cover my telling you how IF would do exactly
what I have told you I can and for the period
of five years, you will have the guarantee of
my son, plus my security form of work on a

way to prevent what I described from happening.
The 1.5 million will only cover this particular
problem. iI hope you would see fit to use my
security form on other problems and if so,
they.would be handled on an individual basis.
The reason I mention this, is the big mistake
you made in underestimating me at the Billings
airport. I want you to know that I knew what

I was doing and also I knew just how big a

fish was in the net. I am sure you know that I
had you in my net. By the way, if your
recording of our conversation didn't turn

out, I will let you listen to mine. It came
out great. Anyhow, at that-point, I could have
taken you down very easy and if the airlines
would pay one and a half million for a plane
load of people, what would they pay for you.

Do you get my point? I had you 'and your men
covered before we started talking. If you
have any doubts, I'11 give you a coupla things

here that might help ya. When we were setting
down in the chair in the lobby down there by

your ticket counter, a guy in the wine-colored shirt
that walked-in front of us while we were talking,
turned around and went back towards the restau-
rant. That was my mane. The fellow that uh,

your locals man in charge of security, and I don't
remember his-name, the' fellow that he was
watching, the\guy with the beard that was taking
all of those pictures around the airport, he

was One of my men. I had other men there too
covering but I'm not going to go into all that.
I'm quite sure you get the drift of it. (Pause)

I set you up for two reasons,[ __—*«iY':s«Parst,

I wanted to get your attention. I wanted you

to give some credance to what I was sayin. I

Want you to know =i can do what I say I can do.
That is the second reason I want you to know

I can do what I say I can do, so if I tell you

I know how to hijack a planeload of people and
walk away with one and a half million dollars,

in untraceable, and underline untraceable, untrace-
able money, believe -me I can do just that. I
believe that I can, uh, sum up your and my options
here pretty easy. Uh, let me first explain your
options,.as I see them. And, if. E haven't covered
them ali, I'm sure you'll let me know if you

have any others. First one would probably be the
legal approach, uh, whatever you might try to do
along those lines uh, I talked to the Federal
people before I talked to you and I know that

uh, what I'm offering you is on legal grounds.

And if you approach me from the legal direction,
all you gonna do is get publicity on this and

I don't think you want that, and I @on't see -

any need in it either. Sco, F think we can-eliminate
the legal approach. The second one is wh the
possibility of just ignoring me and I'll go

away, uh, I just, I don't need to explain that

"one uh I think that you know that that's not

Yeally a viable option and I'm sure you've
already thought of that one. The third one

and I hate to have to cover this one, but that's
the way it's done nowadays, uh, is eliminate me.
Now that ain't gonna work either. You know I'm

DB Cooper-1971¢

not so dumb but what I've protected myself,

I think you learned that. I've got myself
protected pretty well against that possibility
and if you should succeed, it'd be worse than
dealing with me because uh, the way I've got
it laid out, it'il all come out then. And the
fourth one, and I believe this is your last
option, is to deal with me. Now we got to reach
a reasonable basis, wh, to handle this and wh,
to uh, help reach that reasonable base, I will
explain some of my options, now. First thing
is, I want you to know that I know the value
of what I have. I uh, might even be leaving
quite a bit of money laying on the table on
this deal, but that's don't make any difference
to me. If I am, I don't want to even know
about it. I know it's worth what I'm askin'.
I know this much also. That's it's worth a
helluva lot more on the international market.
Then if somebody should happen to try this,
they wouldn't be asking for a loan to start

a security firm. They'd be asking for

enough money probably to set up an army. So,
uh, I'd rather not discuss this any further
because' that's, uh, an option I don't even
want to think about. Uh, I can go to your
insurance company and I can explain to them what
I can do and I quite sure they'll believe me.
If they'll believe me, uh, I would think your
insurance rate will go up. Uh, don't want

that option either. I uh, would hate to think
of somebody comin' out with a how-to book on
something like this cuz uh, now I'd rather

not see it happen. Um, another thing is uh,
like I told you, uh, as long as I have no
contract I have no obligations and I can sit
around and tell anybody about this and uh,

we both know what the end result of that would
be so there's no sense of me going into detail
there. I think that the pdint we've reached
right now,[ | is, uh, if you're a chess
Player, this is what we call checkmate. Now,
uh, I think the best thing to do is, uh, Monday
I'll go to my attorney and I'll have him draw
up a contract on the loan and the exchange of

. b7c

the information and uh, as far as the exchange

of information, we discussed this kina of and

I don't think we came up with anything there

but I'il tell you the way I see it as being

is, uh, I will verbally, myself, personally,

explain the procedure to the board of

directors of the ATA and uh, I will see that
that's. in the contract. I, uh, also, will have

in thé contract, that this explanation will only

be made after' the loan is made and can't be
recalled. Now, uh, there was another point

I wanted to cover,{. and that was the b6
fact that you said to me this had been tried b7c
before and uh, I don't think I totally explained
that aspect of it to your satifaction when we

were at the airport. Now, let me explain some-
thing to ya here, uh, this absolutely has not

been tried before, the way I'm talking about

doin' it, because if it had of, I, guarantee

you, you could have not suppressed this from

the news media and when I explain this to the

board of directors, I believe that you will

readily agree that what I'm saying is true. .
Uh, now I want to explain to you,[ __] bé
the part where I said at the beginning o b7C
this that I might edit part of it out. I
don't uth, (inaudible) (U) motive in this and

this is not to embarrass you at all. f£

think you made a big mistake at the airport

when you were sitting there talking to me.

I think you underestimated me considerably.

Uh, if you want to delete that part and this

part from this tape, then let me know that

you've done that, I will not bring up that

aspect at all before the board of directors.

I'm not out' to embarrass anybody. I just

wanted you to understand I can do what I can

say I can do and there is a damm chance I'il °

do just exactly that. So, let's not have

any. flim filam here or y trying to biame you

with footwork ox coercion, meaning you are

scaring me, or whatever you think, I don't
intimidate. I just want to get this deal
consumated so I can go on to the rest of my

jife. Now, uh, I will put the contract before

DB Cooper-19712

==== Part 47 · PDF page 312 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-19713 ====
you. I will allow a period of time for your
legal staff to look over, if there's some
changes in it that you want, feel free to come
back and talk about it. If it's a change I

can live with, I'll be more than glad to.

I want this to be fair as much as possible both
ways but I'll also going to protect myself.

I believe that just about covers it
and I will try to put this tape on one of your
planes headed back to you so you'll have it

uh, maybe with a chance to review it before
Monday and uh, I would appreciate it, uh, when
you've reviewed it and made your decision, wh,
give me_a_ call. We can talk. Thank you.
