that he bet a fellow truck driver $160.00 that he could
jump out of a commercial jet. As a result of the bet,
WESTMORELAND said he boarded the plane drunk and made a
"crack" about a bomb to one of the stewardesses. He said
that he was not planning on demanding money, but the stewardess
asked him how much he wanted. WESTMORELAND consequently
said he wanted $250,000.00

WESTMORELAND said that he was given the money

McCoy is the second Utahn whose
name has surfaced this month in con-
nection with the D.B. Cooper case.
Two weeks ago, David Westmoreland,
a Utah State Prison inmate, an-
hounced he was the long-sought hi-
jacker. But Kohl said the FBI has in-
vestigated Westmoreland's story and
concluded it is a fabrication. a

' Rhodes said he is writing a' book
about McCoy and has requested decu-
ments concerning McCoy.from the
FBI office in Sait Lake City. In Febru-
ary 1984, the FBI wrote back explain-
ing there were 44 pages of informa-
tion on McCoy. However, '32 pages
were withheld under various exemp-
tions to the Freedom of Information
Act, which allows federal agencies to
hold back documents if their release
would interfere with law enforcement
proceedings. "os Fae

Rhodes' complaint challenges those
exemptions, claiming that .McCoy's
death and the length of time that has
passed since the hijacking makes the
FBI documents irrelevant to any cur-

"That section of the McCoy file that
deals with the hijacking should not be
considered sacrosanct," Rhodes wrote
in his letter, "That happened almost 13
years ago. Releasing that information
is not going to impact your investiga-
tion." im . "4

"Memorandum © 6

To: DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2111) Date 2/24/86
From: SAC, SEATTLE (164A-81) (C)
Subject : NORJAK;

00: SEATTLE

During the last 14% years, Seattle Division
has conducted extensive investigation into the hijacking
of Northwest flight number 305 {NORJAK) from Portland,
Oregon to Seattle, Washington on November 24, 1971.
Initial investigation disclosed the only passenger who
did not exit the aircraft in Seattle, Washington after
the hijacking was a passenger using the name of DAN
COOPER when purchasing a ticket in Portland. This
individual has never been positively identified or located
nor was the major portion of the $200,000.00 in Northwest
Airlines funds ever recovered. In excess of 800 suspects
were considered and subsequently eliminated during the
course of the investigation.

During a conference in San Francisco in April, 1976,

several West Coast Division case agents and the Bureau
supervisor at that time reviewed captioned investigation.

A memorandum from that conference reported that there were
no quality suspects at the time and only limited physical
evidence. Eyewitness identification was considered weak

at that time. Nearly 10 additional years have passed since
that conference. The conference came to the conclusion
that "if COOPER was to surrender to authorities now or

in the near future, it would be extremely difficult to

make the case if he was uncooperative."

On November 24, 1976, a Federal Grand Jury in
Portland, Oregon issued a "John Doe" aka DAN COOPER, aka
D.B. COOPER indictment for one count of Air Piracy and one

count of Hobbs Act-Extortion recommending a bond of $500,009.00.
This was completed in spite of an opinion by the U.S. Attoynpy's

Office, Seattle, Washington, after conferring with the /

f

Department of Justice, that the five year Statute of Limitations

did not apply to captioned investigation since it was
an offense punishable by death in 1971. .

" Seattle Division, with the concurrence of
Portland Division and on a UACB basis, is closing captioned
investigation at this time as no viabke suspects currently
exist. Seattle Division intends however to review any
new information received on an item by item basis and
after appropriate evaluation, will conduct additional
limited investigation to resolve the specific information.

00: SEATTLE

The following information is being furnished for
the assistance of all Agents in covering any leads which
might be assigned to them and to properly evaluate any
information which might he received from a citizen.

The UNKNOWN SUBJECT apparently boarded the above
captioned flight at Portland, Oregon, and since the only
erson who was not availab or_ interview when the plane
arrived_in_ Seattle, was a DAN COOPER, who boarded at Portland,
ti_is assumed this is the name used by the subject.

Shortiy after_the plane left Portland, the UNSUB

approached Stewardess | J}and gave her a
note telling that the plane was being hijacked. UNKNOWN
SUBJECT retrieved that note. then told Stewardess

L | who thereafter sat with the subject and
transmitted his instructions to the Captain.

When he first announced the hijacking, the UNSUB
asked for two parachutes. He later changed his instructions
and asked for four parachutes, two back chutes and two chest
chutes, plus the $200,000.00. Further, the subject
wanted everything collected at SEA-TAC Airport before
he would allow the plane to land and he wanted all this
done by 5:00 PM. The plane circled SEA-TAC Airport
for approximately 1s hours during which time the parachutes
and money was collected and brought to the Airport.

The plane landed at SEA-TAC at approximately 5:45 PM
and after the subject knew the money was being brought to him
and the gas trucks were at hand, he allowed all the
passengers as well as the other two stewardesses to leave
the aircraft. | |was ordered to remain and he had
her bring the parachutes, money, etc., into the aircraft to him.

The three male members of the crew remained in the cabin.

When the plane was loaded at Portland, there were
37 passengers plus the 6 members of the crew. When the
passengers deplaned at Seattle, only 36 got off with
the subject remaining on board.

All the passengers were int j
saw the subject and were able to give some assistance with
descriptive data. The plane departed SEA-TAC at 7:36PM, after
being fully gassed. At the instructions of the UNSUB, the
flaps were left down at 15 degrees and he also instructed
the landing gear remain down and at first wanted the steps
to remain down, but it was explained to him that it was
mechanically impossible to take off with the steps down.
He thereupon agreed that they could be raised for take off
but lowered once they were airborne.

The UNSUB mentioned going to Mexico City, but
because they would have to refuel, due to the extra drag caused
by the flaps down, etc., he agreed to a flight down to
Sacramento, and then over to Reno. Shortly after take off
from Seattle-Tacoma Airport, the UNSUB had the stewardess
show him how to operate the stairs and then told her to go
into the First Class Section, which she did, and to close
the curtain behind her. She then went into the cabin
with the rest of the crew and locked the door after her.

A few minutes later they had intercom contact with the subject
but the last contact with him was at approximately 8:05 PM.

Within the next 10 minutes, the crew experienced
oscillation in the plane and speculated that it was caused
by the subject departing the plane by way of the rear door.

The crew of the above airline has now spotted a
possible area for this suspected departure of the
hijacker to be over Merwin Lake, near Woodland, Washington.

A search is now being conducted by helicopter
and ground crews working out of the Woodland Police Department.

PURPOSE: To report observations and recommendations resulting
from the Norjak conference held at San Francisco, California,
4/8-9/76, with representatives from FBIHQ, Seattle, Portland,
Las Vegas, and San Francisco in attendance.

SYNOPSIS; A conference was held at San Francisco, California,
4/8-9/76, to determine present status (both prosecutive and
investigative) of captioned case and in an effort to -develop new
ideas assisting in the identification and location of subject
jOf captioned case, also known as Dan Cooper, D. B. Cooper. The
feasibility of reinstituting a terrain search was discussed and
eliminated due to the ruggedness of the terrain, the dollar cost
anticipated, and the extremely large amount of manpower which
smwonld be necessary. The investigation to date was gone over
step by step and determined to be, by all attendees, full and
'complete, An idea to reinitiate a reward offer by a source
outside of the Bureau, such as Northwest Orient Airlines, for
the location and turn-in of any one of the bills making 'up the
ransom package was made and believed to be our best opportunity
to create public interest in the possible solution of this
ase. This idea is written out in depth in the details

o£ this memorandum and a recommendation to initiate this idea
is set out in the recommendation paragraph.

RECOMMENDATION: That a publicity campaign be set up in detail
for release in early Noveriber, 1976, widely publicizing a reward
{exact amount yet to be determined) for any twenty dollar bill
turned in from the ransom list published in various Media,
'periodicals, an@ possibly local newspapers. If approved, General
Investigative Division, Special Crimes Unit, will immediately
take steps. to initiate this publicity effort.

This conference was set up to establish the feasibility
of obtaining a John Doe indictment and to determine the value
of redoing any basic investigation, the reviewing of investigation ~
previously conducted, and to study possible new approaches that
would result in the positive identification and.subsequent location
of the subject and/or the ransom money.

It was determined that at the present time, we had no
good suspects outstanding and the amount Of hard physical evidence
was extremely limited (tie and tie tack, straps of material from
one of the parachutes, papers from around subject's seat area,
eight cigarette butts, two hair samples and approximately 66
unidentified latent fingerprints). To date, not one of the ransom
twenty dollar bills (10,000 in all) has been located. A
discussion ensued as to the present_strenath of eyewitness
identification to which Case Agent | jJresponded that it was
weak. It was. noted that these witnesses (10 in number)
remain very cooperative, even though it has been four and
one half years since the hijacking and several differing
composites have been made.

Concerning present status of prosecution, the attendees
felt that if Cooper was to surrender to authorities now or in
the near future, it would be extremely difficult to "make the

- case" if he was pncooperative, but if he gave a_signed statement

they felt they could verify whether this was in fact the true

hijacker, The Seattle and Portland Agents in attendance felt the

accurate story concerning the incident had never appeared in its
correct form in any publications they had read; therefore,

RE: NORJAK .

they felt they could identify positively a cooperative Cooper.

All attendees were in agreement, however, that a John Doe indictment
at this time would be difficult to obtain due to the lack of
'positive identifying or even somewhat limiting data concerning
Cooper, and that if someone came forth after November, 1976,

it might possibly be more harmful in the successful prosecution

of this case if the John-Doe indictment_was issued and then

thrown out.

A review was made of investigation conducted to date
and the possibility of redoing any of same. Reinterview of
witnesses at this time was considered to be unproductive as this
has been continuous upon various displays and it was felt that
at this time they were now relying on the artist's conceptions
ratherx than individual memory. Discussion took place concerning
the possibility of reinstituting a terrain search of the calculated
drop area. It was determined that this would be extremely
impractical due to several significant facts. First, it was stated
by the attendees that have previously participated in a search .
of the area, that if Agents walked hand in hand through that area,
because of the heavy thickets, they could still walk right by
a' person or a briefcase without seeing it. Next it was mentioned
that in addition, at this time, we have over four years of leaves
and brush to contend with. The expense involved, as well as man
power necessary, ruled out, as far as the attendees were concerned,
any feasibility of conducting additional terrain searches.

The next phase discussed was the possibility of utilizing
a reward for the missing twenty dollar bills (10,000 of them in ~
all). It was felt that a nationwide campaign of offering
$5,000 for the first one or first five twenty dollar bills turned
over to Northwest Orient Airline', would attract national publicity
and would serve to provide us information as to whether the
ransom money ever got into circulation. If one of these bills
was turned in, it would tell us one of two things, either Cooper
was successful in his jump and managed to escape the wooded area
with or without the assistance of an accomplice, or the money
was found by someone else and that person put it into circulation.
it was felt that Northwest Orient Airlines may desire to offer
this reward, since the claiming of this reward might enhance their -
chances of securing a recovery of the $200,000 extorted from
'their airlines. It was recommended that we feed the reward
offer to every type of media to afford the reward widespread
publicity. A condition to the return of the money could be an
offer of immunity from prosecution for receiving stolen property.

==== Part 48 · PDF page 35 ====
Memo re
RE: NORJAK

It was felt that this reward offer could be run as a nationwide
treasure hunt, thus receiving widespread publicity and therefore,
hopefully getting a major portion of the United States population
checking all twenty dollar bills coming into their possession.

We would provide lists of the serial numbers to selected coin
magazines and numismatic publications and ask for their assistance
in publishing portions of the list at their discretion of course.
It was also determined that timing of this publicity, if approved,
would be all important; therefore, a recommendation was made

that we initiate this publicity in November, 1976, due to the

fact that this is when this case will be receiving publicity.

The publicity, if we can judge same by past Novembers, AP and UPI
releases will state that D. B. Cooper is now a free man, that

the Statute of Limitations regarding this crime has run. Department
of Justice's stand at this time is that the Statute of Limitations
has tolled due to the fact that at the time offense was committed
(11/24/71), it was a crime punishable by death, therefore, the
Statute of Limitations would not apply. This would be the ideal
time to initiate a program of this type. The only other factor
considered regarding this publicity campaign was that of cost

. to the Bureau. The only cost anticipated was the cost of
reproduction of the ransom money list and the cost of Agents'

time throughout the country distributing their list to appropriate
media personnel with an appropriate press release from the
Director. A prior check would be made with leading newspapers

in major cities -to determine the most appropriate and convenient
form in which to supply the serial numbers of the 10,000 twenty
@ollar bills in an effort to enlist their full participation in
this treasure hunt. It is surely realized that this is a long-
shot chance at attempting to secure leads regarding this matter,
but it is felt that at this point in the investigation, our
choices of alternatives are extremely limited.

All attendees contributed significantly in an attempt
to insure all investigative aspects of this case have been
fully completed and that every effort has been made to identify
and locate subject of this matter.

(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 Northwest to aid in their identification of any evi-
Gentiary 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 fliaht.

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: 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

Wearing apparel:

cigarettes,

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.

INVESTIGATIVE STEPS TO PROCESS NORJAK SUSPECTS

This list in no wey represents all the means avail-
able to process a suspect. Each individual case prompts a
different method; one or more of the below listed. metheds
have been used in the past.

1. Obtain current descriptive data (particularly
useful is age, height, and complexion),

2. Ascertain location on November 24, 1971, by

(a) checking employment records.
(b) checking cancelled checks or eredit ecard
'transactions. -

(a) interviewing acquaintances or relatives
(note November 24th was the day before
Thanksgiving, 1971).

3. Ascertain present location to determine if he

or parachuting (i.e. private pilot's license,
skydiving, experience, or military jump -
experience), .

§. Obtain current photorraph, color if possible,
to display to witnesses. '"(Note: All NORJAK
eyewitnesses have been repeatedly contacted
and have reviewed numerous photographs. Up
to now they have been extremely cooperative,

not withstanding the many contacts they have endured both at
work and at home. Based on the above, these witnesses will
not be contacted to view photographs unless there is no other
way to eliminate a suspect).

6. Compare suspect's fingerprints and palm prints
with NORJAK partials on file with the Identifica-
tion Division, ;

7. Ascertain if he is "in any way familiar with
the Pacific Horthvest area' and in particular if
_ he ever 'flew over this area.
8. Check current Financial situation and contrast
* " ait to his situation prior to NORJAK.

8, Determine if he smokes cigarettes or if he
, ever smoked cigarettes. (Note: Unsub smoked *
Raleigh cigarettes). , ,

10. Determine if he was repistered at a motel or
hotel near the Portland Airport just prior to
NORJAK.

11. Determine if he made any trial runs prior to
NORJAK on airlines flying between Portland and
Seattle.

12. Determine if has a safe Geposit box and con-
Sider feasibility of obtaining a court orcer
to determine its contents

oy geis share of
0.6. Cooper loot

United Press International

PORTLAND — A 14-year-old Oklahoma boy
and an insurance company yesterday split about
$6,000 in tattered $20 bills — water-stained loot that
is the only trace ever found of the notorious 1971
hijacker, D.B, Cooper.

Brian Ingram, El Reno, Okia., and Steve
Rickles, an attorney for Royal Globe Insurance
Co., said the fragile bills will be offered for sale to
collectors, rather than redeemed with the Trea-
sury Department for new cash. .

"College," Ingram said when asked by report-
ers what he planned to do with his share, "And 'm
looking for a farmhouse."

Ingram, son of Dwayne and Patricia Ingram,
found the money buried in a sandy bank of the
Columbia River six years ago near where Cooper
is believed to have parachuted out of a Northwest
Orient Airlines jet on Thankgiving Eve in 1971 with
$200,000 ransom Strapped to his waist and. stuffed in
his shirt.

The serial numbers matched those on the bills
given to Cooper and the FBI held the money for
gvidence until Tuesday.

RE: D.B. Cooper Hijacking

b6
b7C

I am in the process of researching material for a
book I plan to publish and a portion of it deals with D.B.
Cooper and the impact his act of hijacking the Northwest
Orient airline had on airport and passenger security.

If possible could you please provide me with
the names and address of those at Northwest Airlines and
the insurence carrier, Globe Indemnity who would have
knowledge of this incident in order that I may contact
them directly, or please see this letter is passed on.

I would like to obtain from them photographs
of the recovered $20.00 bills and permission to reproduce
same. As well as any information they may wish to release.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
