Title: NORJAK; |
CAA-HIJACKING

Synopsis: To submit evidence for DNA analysis.

Package Copy: Being forwarded under separate cover is one ;
original airline ticket (1B21) and one snap on black tie with
gold tie clip (1B7).

Enclosures: Original Laboratory reports regarding above items.

Details: As the Laboratory is aware, captioned case involves the
hijacking of Northwest flight 305 destined for Seattle on
11/24/1971 by an unknown subject. In spite of exhaustive
investigation over the years, the subject remains unidentified.
This case has national significance and remains the only
unresolved airplane hijacking in U.S. history. As this was a ;
capital offense at the time, no statute of limitation exists.

Retrieval of any DNA could be very useful as a DNA profile could

be used to eliminate subjects that are still being brought to the
attention of Seattle

The above items were originally submitted to the
Laboratory in late 1971 for fingerprint analysis (ticket) and
manufacture analysis (tie and clip)with negative results. No DNA
testing was ever done. Prior reports from the LAB related to the
examination of the tie and clip are attached for reference. As
these are the only items absolutely known to have been handied by
the UNSUB in this case, they are being resubmitted at this time
for DNA analysis. If appropriate, and following the DNA work,
the ticket (1B21) should be also resubmitted for latents.

inquired as to the existence of a reward for this
information.

New Orleans should be aware that many people who
contact Seattle have studied media accounts of this crime over
the years and may base their 'knowledge' on these accounts, which
are frequently in error. This case has appeared on the Discovery
Channel again recently and is continually rerun on Unsolved
Mysteries. Seattle filters these responses based on a process
developed over the years, and sets relatively few investigative
leads. Due to this offense being a capital crime in 1971, DOJ
has advised no statute of limitations exists. In addition, a
'John Doe' indictment was returned in 1976.

Any information of significance that leads to the
identification of the UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER, could result in the

Title: UNSUB,
aka DAN COOPER;
NORJAK
CAA - HIJACKING

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Synopsis: To outline a three phase investigative plan concerning
evaluation of recent DNA profile.

Details: Over thirty years, more than one thousand possible
subjects have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of
virtually every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated,
some required extensive investigation to eliminate, while some
remained of interest and could not be included or excluded
through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305,
who parachuted from the aircraft in southern Washington on
11/24/1971 with the $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. As
airplane hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has
recently advised that no statute of limitations exists. This
remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history.

During 2001, advancements in sensitivity of DNA PCR/STR
testing reached a point that resubmission of an item believed
handled and worn by the UNSUB in this case was deemed worthwhile.
Recently, SA was advised that testing of this item (a black b6
necktie) has resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA, which has bmc
been deemed suitable for entry into CODIS. The subject was
observed wearing this item during the hijacking, which he
apparently removed before exiting the airplane. The DNA examiner
has stated that the DNA recovered likely belongs to the subject
or owner.

Re: SE 164A-81, 08/20/2002

Due passage of time, and the sheer number of subjects
evaluated in this case, special considerations are necessary to
effectively use these DNA results without generating large
numbers of time intensive leads. The following is a three phase
investigative plan that will be completed in the next 30-60 days:

1. Laboratory, DNA1, has been requested to submit the
CODIS profile to all 50 states for checking against State DNA
databases. Special attention will be provided to databases in
Oregon and Washington.

2. A comprehensive review of each subject subfile
{1,057 currently) will be conducted to identify those not
strongly eliminated at the time.

3. From those identified in phase two, leads will be
set to obtain DNA samples from the suspect, subjects children, or
other appropriate personal items belonging to him. The intent is
to be very selective with these leads.

It is anticipated that some of those contacted in phase
three will contact the media. Receiving offices will be
instructed to refer any media inquiries to the Seattle media
coordinator. The specific source of the recovered DNA will not
be discussed.

-D.B. Cooper
case still
cold after
30 years

FBI keeps getting tips ° |
but most are filed away

SEATTLE (AP) — It was 30 years.

. ago Saturday that D.B. Cooper.
_ jumped from a hijacked, Seattle.
. bound jetliner with $200,000 in ran-
* som money strapped to his waist, nev-.
er to be heard from again. ;

His escapade remains the only un-

; Solved skyjacking in the United
States. The FBI has received thou-.
sands of tips, but investigators have
nothing to go on. :

_ There's no suspect, no leads —~ and

. nothing to prove who Cooper was, or

. where he went.

"He's our Jesse James and Billy the:

: Kid," said Jerry Thomas of Jefferson
County. Thomas is a retired Army in--
fantryman who has searched the
backwoods of Southwest Washington.
for any trace of Cooper.

Cooper apparently parachuted
somewhere over Cowlitz or Clark
counties. He's beaten the best crime
fighters in the country, earning him
folk hero status among some.

On Saturday, the tiny town of Ariel
will throw a party for Cooper for the
27th straight year at the Ariel Store,
the town's main bar.

Cooper's case inspired some copy-
cat attempts and prompted new air-
port security measures nationwide.

"It's with me," said Ralph Himmels-
bach, the FBI agent who worked the
case for eight years before retiring. "I
don't lose any sleep over it, but if I had
my druthers, it would be solved."

In a book he wrote about the case,
Himmelsbach says, "Here's a little
guy all by himself who reached up and'
tweaked Uncle Sam's nose and took
$200,000 from a major corporation."

Many who have studied Cooper's
actions of Thanksgiving Eve 1971 are.
certain he died trying to escape. They
have reason to believe that, too. The
weather was bad with heavy rain;
Cooper jumped over a dense forest of

pine and Doupias fir; he was dressed*
ina suitand loafers; and one ofthe two '

parachutes he used was defective.

But his story is fascinating. .

On Nov. 24, 1971, a thin man in his

40s calling himself Dan Cooper:

showed up at the Northwest Orient

Airlines ticket counter at Portland In-'

ternational Airport. He paid $20 cash

for a one-way flight io Seattle depart-'

jing at 4:35 p.m. He then waited 50 min-
utes to board the Boeing 727. He took

a seat near the back of the plane, and*

had the row to himselé

Soon after takeoff, Cooper handed
anote to a stewardess and said he had
a bomb on board. He let her peak into
his briefcase at wires and red sticks
that seemed to be explosives. He then
demanded $200,000, four parachutes
and "no funny stuff." At 5:40 p.m., the
plane Janded at Seattle-Tacoma Inter-
national Airport and authorities met
his demands.

Then, he ordered the plane back
into the air and to ily toward Mexico
via Reno at no more than 10,000 feet.
He later jumped, and-hasn't been seen
or heard from since.

"The fact that it's the only unsolved

hijacking keeps it high-profile," said'

FBI agent Ralph Hope of Seattle, the

latest agent in charge of the case. "It"

willremain that way until we know the
individual could not be alive."

In 1971 and 1980, the FBI searched.

for Cooper, looking into countless
leads with no luck. About six inquiries

still come in to agents each month, but

most are just filed away.

Brooks Brothers

If you believe a persuasive San Diego cabdriver, D.B. Cooper was Classic men's clothing.

a drifter and card player who died of a cocaine overdose in
California 15 years after skyjacking a Northwest Airlines jet
between Portland and Seattle.

If you believe an equally insistent Florida realtor, D.B. Cooper was
her fate husband, a chain-smoking ex-con who revealed his true
identity to her six years ago as he lay dying of kidney disease ina
Pensacola hospital.

And if you believe the FBI, the notorious skyjacker, after
parachuting out of the plane at 10,000 feet with a 21-pound satchel
of ransom money strapped to his chest, died in the jump. No
matter that his body has never been found.

Three decades later, the only unsolved skyjacking in the country's
history continues to fascinate mystery lovers, with many hoping the
passenger known as D.B, Cooper -- who physically hurt no one,
except possibly himself — landed safely with the loot and got away.

"He's our Jesse James and Billy the Kid," said Jerry Thomas of
Jefferson County, a retired Army infantryman who has made it his
mission to scour the backwoods of Southwest Washington for any
sign of Cooper.

Even law-abiding Americans have a history of rooting for the
underdog, and "here's a little guy all by himself who reached up
and tweaked Uncle Sam's nose and teek $200,008 from a major
corporation" and may have gotten away with it, said retired FBI
Agent Ralph Himmelsbach, who spent years searching for Cooper
and wrote a book about the case.

It almost doesn't matter if Cooper is dead; for 30 years, his legend
has lived on.

A leap into histry

On Nov. 24, 1971, a tall, dark-complexioned passenger identifying
himself as Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 on a stormy
Thanksgiving Eve, demanded and got $200,000 and parachutes,
then jumped from the rear of the plane into history.

In recent weeks, as the anniversary has approached, television
crews from around the world have descended on Thomas, a self-
appointed Cooper expert, for his stories and a walk through the
woods where Cooper is believed to have landed. Maybe, just
maybe, Thomas would find a scrap of parachute, a human bone, a
waterlogged $20 bill.

Officially, the case remains open.

"The fact it's the only unsolved hijacking keeps it high-profile," said
FBI Agent Ralph Hope of Seattle, the latest in a list of agents in
charge of the case, "It will remain that way until we know the
individual could not be alive."

Though the FBI conducted major searches in 1971 and 1980,
collected 1,200 files and checked out countless leads, no hard
evidence ever turned up. Agents stil! receive a half-dozen inquiries
a month; most are simply filed away.

"There's a number of incidents where people looked very, very
good, but no direct evidence was located," Hope said. "Many will
read articles or books and call in with information, much of it
inaccurate. You can almost tefl what books they read."

'I have a bomb'

Agents knew little about the
skyjacker except that he
smoked Raleigh cigarettes,
drank whiskey, was familiar
with aerodynamics and paid $20
cash for a one-way flight from
Portland to Seattle.

He wore a dark suit and tie,
white shirt and pear! tie tack,
and had short, dark hair. He
carried a briefcase and dark
raincoat, and took seat 18C on
Flight 305, having the row to
himself,

leaned closer: "Miss, you'd better look at that note. I have a
bomb." He opened his briefcase to reveal several red

cylinders and a nest of wires.

The plane Ian in Seattle; passengers were ex
parachutes and ransom money paid by the airline. With
Cooper and the flight crew on board, it took off, heading
south toward Mexico. About 30 minutes later, a cockpit
warning light showed the rear stairway was fully extended.
The pilot asked over the intercom, "Is everything OK back
there?"

Cooper yelled back, "No," and baifed out the back into
freezing darkness.

The plane landed in Reno, where agents found nothing
except Cooper's skinny black tie, tie tack, eight of his
cigarette butts, two of the parachutes and possibly a
fingerprint among the 66 never identified.

Did he survive? Said Hope: "We know there was a blowing
storm, the plane was going 170 knots, he was wearing
street clothes and street shoes. ... The chance of survival
was not good. Possible, not likely."

Yet Cooper's body was never found, and only a portion of the
ransom money — whose serial numbers the FBI had
recorded — turned up when a child digging in a sand bar on
the north bank of the Columbia River west of Vancouver in
1980 unearthed a bundle of $20 bills.

That gives romantics room to fantasize that Cooper is alive,
enjoying his riches in some exotic locale.

But the San Diego cabbie and the Florida realtor have no
doubts. Not only are they certain Cooper survived the jump,
they insist they know who he was.

The cabbie's tale

The two men were poker-playing buddies. Sitting in a bar
one night in 1984, Rizzo said, he confided to Huddleston that
he was a fugitive wanted by the FBI for counterfeiting.

Huddleston replied with his own confession: He had
skyjacked an airplane in 1971.

Rizzo said he kept the secret until after Huddleston died in
1986 of an aneurysm brought on by a cocaine overdose at
age 52. Rizzo told the FBI his tale. An autopsy of Huddleston
revealed his legs were covered with scars, which Rizzo says
were caused by the jump from the plane.

Rizzo said Huddieston gave him this account:

After plunging from the plane, he landed near 2 river, ina
tree about 10 feet above the ground, where a sharp limb
punctured his knee and ribs. The weather was so bad his
shoes blew off, and ice and sleet coated his arms and back.

The strap that held the money tore, and that's how he lost

the packet later found by the child on the vivern Mi? He
crawled to a cave and later hitchhiked to Portland, where he
spent months recuperating before eventually moving to San
Diego.

He hid the money until 1978, when he took it to an Indian
reservation In Montana to be laundered. When he returned
to San Diego, he kept it stashed in the taillight of an old
Cadillac.

Because he was constantly fearful of running into someone
from the flight who would recognize him, he often changed
his appearance, growing a beard and shaving his head, then
growing a mustache and wearing a long ponytail.

Rizzo said Huddleston once said: "In the back of my mind,
one day I'll be sitting on a bus, in a bar, and look into the
face of the only person who could identify me. I'll see that
stewardess. I know she will never forget my face."

Huddleston told Rizzo he'd bought the airline ticket under
the name Don — his real middle name, not Dan — and was
amused that the FBI went searching for a Dan Cooper.

"He was a James Dean type, a daredevil," Rizzo said. "This ts
not a story I could make up, but the FBI's never going to
prove it,"

The real-estate agent's tale

She claims she found the remote spot near Battle Ground,
Clark County, where her husband, an insurance salesman
and ex-con, took her in 1978. At the time, all he told her was
that it was a sentimental journey for him. ~

It wasn't until 1995, when he was 70 and on his deathbed,
that he whispered to her, "I'm Dan Cooper."

Jo Weber had no idea what he meant, and he angrily blurted,
"Oh, let it die with me."

She has since uncovered a trail of stories, suppositions and
what could just be coincidences. Among them:

Composite sketches of Cooper resemble her husband, who
was a chain smoker. Because he'd served time for burglary
and forgery on McNeil Island when it housed a federal
penitentiary, he was familiar with the general area where
Cooper is believed to have landed.

He sometimes talked in his sleep, drenched in sweat. "I feft
my fingerprints on the aft stairs," he mumbled. "I'm going to
die."

When she asked him about it fater, he was vague and
evasive.

Jo Weber a an old airline ticket from . to
Seattle in a box of records. She came across it a second time
when she was cleaning out clothes, but her husband said it
didn't mean anything, and the ticket got lost again.

"I've offered to do anything I have to to prove I'm telfing
the truth," she said. "Now, I have to let God take care of the
rest, I've given it five years of my life ... but I'm not going to
use up the rest of my life trying to do the FBI's job for
them."

Investigations 'just burn out'

The FBI has investigated a litany of stories like those from
Rizzo and Weber but rejected them because there is simply
no proof, Hope said. Except for the sodden bills along the
Columbia, the forests have held Cooper's secret.

"Every so often one would come along, and I'd get the rush
of adrenaline," said Himmelsbach, the retired FBI agent and
author. "There's a guy in a bar with a bunch of $20 bills, he's
limping on one leg and someone asks where he got the roll,
and he says he might of hijacked an airplane. You track
those things down, and they just burn out."

Another who discounts Weber's deathbed confession is
Thomas, the retired Army infantryman who has spent the
past three decades searching the thick forests of Southwest
Washington for signs of Cooper.

"There's no way," said Thomas, 50, a survival expert. "... A
tot of what (Jo Weber) is claiming came right out of a book."

Thomas pulls out a well-worn map and traces the forests
around Washougal, Clark County. This, he believes, is where
Cooper's remains rest.

But he is willing to entertain the notion that Cooper
survived, so he walks the woods, sometimes with his
grandchildren, searching for signs under branches and along
creek banks.

"Unsolved cases really intrigue me. This is my life," Thomas
said,

Some clues still kept secret

When Cooper commandeered the Northwest jet, skyjacking
was hardly a novel crime. More than 25 were attempted in
1971 atone, but he alone did not get caught.

The following year, screening devices became mandatory in
airports, and Himmelsbach said exit doors on airliners were
modified with a device named the Cooper Vane so they could
not be opened in midflight.

The FBI won't talk about suspects in an open case. But

oe F agents say they have kept some of their clues s
: hopes of someday solving the mystery. "There's stuff we
| know nobody else knows," Hope said.

The small town of Ariel, Cowlitz County, where some think
Cooper landed, hosts an annual Cooper celebration; this year
there will be no one parachuting from the sky because of
security concerns over a nearby dam. After 30 years, the
event still draws a crowd.

"It's that desperado mystique," said local historian Walt
Crowley of the story's enduring fascination.

"It was an extraordinary audacious act to lower that rear
gangway in flight and jump into a dark and stormy night,"
Crowley said. "He didn't hurt anybody ... and we all love a
mystery."

Re: Hijacking of Northwest 305

Dear Special Agen |

{am in receipt of and thank you for your letter dated December 10, 2002, regarding the above
referenced matter. The information detailed in my letter dated Aigust 29, 2002, came to be known
to my client through a mutual acquaintance with who is believed to be the hijacker of NW 305
commonly referred to in the media as "D.B. Cooper." My client has never personally spoken with
"Mr. Cooper" but does believe the information which can be delivered is accurate and specific in
nature to the extent that it would lead to location of "Mr. Cooper."

Again, the nature of the information known to my client is detailed in my previous letter. My
client is willing to meet with representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but has
legitimate concerns regarding maintaining his confidentiality, as well as desires more meaningful
and detailed discussions regarding the available reward in the event the information provided is in
fact accurate and leads to the arrest of "Mr. Cooper."

With the Christmas holidays upon us, I will maintain unusual office hours at best through the
end of the year. Special Agen lis familiar with me and has the ability to contact me as
needed. Please feel free to contact me afl lor at the above address.

With kind personal regards, I am

Attorney at Taw

April 5, 2003

Special Agen{___
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
1110 Third Avenue

Seattle, WA 98101

Dear Agent

I am an attorney in Maine. Several years ago a client of mine came to me with
evidence that] had committed a number of crimes a good many years ago.
The evidence was significant but not conclusive, so I began a private investigation in
conjunction with some forensic experts and a private investigator from one of the major
investigative agencies in the country. We have proceeded cautiously, not only because of
possible danger to my client, but also to protect the reputation of the man in question,
in-case we are mistaken. (The man is well respected and has no criminal record.)

Some time after beginning our investigation, a new and unexpected development
occurred. We learned of evidence pointing to the possibility that the man in question may
have committed another crime, one unconnected to any of those we had been investiga-
ting. This was the famous (or infamous) D. B. Cooper skyjacking.

Let me say right off that we view this possibility as a long shot. We do not
have any evidence directly connecting him to the skyjacking. Nevertheless, there are a
number of factors that make us believe he is a bona fide suspect. I will summarize some
of them for you on the pages accompany this letter, where we refer to the man in question
simply as "X." Again, this summary is not intended to prove that our suspect committed
the skyjacking, but simply to demonstrate that he bears further investigation.

When this possibility first came to our attention, we reviewed ali the information
available to the public on the case. We then made some efforts to locate
the flight attendant who had a good deal of contact with Cooper during the skyjacking.
When we were unable to do so (the last we were able to learn was that she had left a

} lin Oregon), we let our efforts on the case lapse and returned to our

original concerns. It seemed'to us that even if our stispect were:guilty-of the skyjacking;
our chances of arriving at any definite conclusion were remote.

DB Cooper-21698

==== Part 52 · PDF page 86 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-21699 ====
Recently, however, we learned that there may be DNA-telated evidence in the
Cooper case. We should have thought of this before, as certain objects that Cooper came
in close contact with (such as a glass he drank from and cigarettes he smoked) could still
be kept in an evidence room. In recent years quite a few old crimes have been solved with
the aid of DNA technology. And in fact, since the other crimes we were investigating
were also old crimes, we had made the effort to obtain DNA material from our suspect,
without his being aware of it. From my client, we obtained some handkerchiefs with the
man's blood on them and have had both nuclear and mitochondrial profiles done by a
private lab, Orchid Cellmark. We also have a full set of the man's fingerprints.

I then contacted | | whose book we had read. b6
I discussed the case with him, and asked him if it was possible that there was DNA BIC
evidence in the Cooper case, and he said he thought there was. This was vital to me, as I
don't think it would be possible to prove or disprove our suspect's guilt on any other
basis than hard physical evidence. I don't want to waste my time or yours pursuing mere
theories or possibilities.

lgave me your name as the case agent in the Cooper case and b6
encouraged me to contact you. [ thought I would write you first, to give you some BIC
background on this matter. I will try to contact you by phone sometime next week in the
hope that we can discuss the matter further.
As mentioned, the odds that our suspect is guilty of the Cooper skyjacking are
small, but nevertheless they are not negligible. With the recent developments in forensic
technology, perhaps we have a real possibility of resolving this case. I look forward to
going into the matter further with you.
Sincerely,
b6

Reasons To Suspect "X" in the Cooper Skyjacking

Appearance

X's physical appearance (height, weight, age, facial appearance) is compatible
with eyewitness descriptions and the composite sketches. For example, he waq__|in
1971, but looked somewhat older (in their 30s, some men still look boyish, others look
middle-aged; in his 30s, X was generally mistaken for being older than his actual age).
Again, X was bald across the top of the head, but a simple hairpiece would have enabled
him to look as described (and in fact, since Cooper was 2 careful planner, and knew he
would be seen by many people, including a stewardess who would observe him up close,
he would probably have taken some precaution, in addition to sunglasses, to alter his
appearance).

Behavior

Cooper's behavior has been described as cool and calm, and also (when it was
necessary) as commanding and authoritative. But in the latter case, he was firm and polite
rather than abusive (one of the stewardesses said he was more ofa gentleman than many
regular passengers she had encountered). He became impatient at times, but only (and
only to the extent) that it was appropriate under the circumstances to get his way. In
short, he was in full control of himself in very difficult circumstances.

X is very self-disciplined. Both in the military and in civilian life he was used to
being in command and directing other people in order to accomplish missions or projects.
When he was in the military, a colonel who headed a high-pressure unit once remarked
publicly that of all the people he had known in the military, X was the only one who
never became rattled in a crisis.

Also, as a leader and by personal temperament, X is a very careful and thorough
planner, one who thinks through all the angles and contingencies of any project he leads
or undertakes. But unlike some people, who are strong at planning but not at acting, X
can be very bold and decisive in action. He has always had a strong interest in physical
activities that involve risk, for example, hang-gliding, whitewater kayaking (in the

b6

{— lin Idaho), |

[because of its dangers). He is bold and in a quiet way

something of a show-off, but never reckless. He takes chances, but only well-calculated
ones.

DB Cooper-21700

==== Part 52 · PDF page 88 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-21704 ====
Background and Skills

Although he was not a career military officer, X served in the military -- in the
Air Force -- during thf He was familiar with Boeing 727s, with their rear steps
that could be lowered from the inside, as these were used in Vietnam at the time he was
in the Air Force.

X learned to fly when he was in the Air Force, and ever since then he has had a
private pilot's license and has continued to fly.

X learned to fly when he was at| _|in northern California,
and would have been familiar with other bases on the West Coast (such as McChord
near Seattle). He had visited Portland, and in flying would have used aviation maps of
the region. Thus, the whole locale of the skyjacking would have been familiar to him,
not only personally but technically.

X did not take parachute training or jump when he was in the Air Force, but later
in civilian life (still in the 1960s) he learned to skydive and became proficient at it (as he
does in most things he undertakes).

X became familiar with the woods when he was a young boy. He did a lot of
long-distance hiking with his father in rugged terrain (the Smoky Mountains). Later, after
being an Eagle Scout, he was accepted into a little-known, more advanced Scouting rank
called the Order of the Arrow. (To achieve this rank, you had to undergo a wilderness
survival test, in which you were given a compass, one match, and an egg, and nothing
more, and were left in a remote area of the woods; you had to spend the night alone in the
woods, cook the egg, and then find your way out unaided.) He has remained familiar with
being in the woods ever since. He is very self-reliant.

X also has good knowledge of chemistry and explosives.

Opportunity

At this time, more than 30 years after the crime, we cannot reconstruct X's
whereabouts at Thanksgiving 1971. Because we have been investigating X with regard to
other unrelated crimes, we have developed an extensive time-line for him, going back to
the 1960s[___ is something of a pack rat and has always kept boxes of old records,
so we have been able to determine X's whereabouts on a significant percentage of past
dates. However, our records show nothing for the period from November 23-28, 1971.

It is worth noting, though, that X has always had a considerable amount of
autonomy or freedom of movement, even though he has been both regularly employed
and[___]since the late 1950s. His work often permits him to travel by himself (he
has always made such trips at least once a month, often from one coast to another, and

_on these trips he is often not accountable to anyone as to his whereabouts). And despite
he has always insisted on going off occasionally on long weekend trips by
himself, ostensibly to engage in one of his outdoor or wilderness sports (whicl|
does not take part in). Thus, the four (or more) day Thanksgiving weekend in 1971 would
have been a likely time for him to be away. Certainly he could have arranged to have the
time free if he had wanted to do so.

Motive

At the time of the Cooper skyjacking, X was in need of money. He was employed
and he earned enough for ordinary purposes, but the household operated on a budget.
It had become apparent for some time to hat X was spending fairly substantial
amounts of money beyond what was accounted for j j i €

to take the money from other budgeted expenses.

This money problem resulted in rising tensions between X an If X were
engaged in some clandestine activity (of whatever nature), as almost surely he was, this
increasing tension and questioning would have been seen by him as a danger. However,

shortly after the Cooper skyjacking, all money problems ceased completely and never
arose again|

Besides the money issue|____ keels certain that if he did commit the Cooper
skyjacking, that he was strongly motivated by the challenge, the thrill, and the notoriety
or "achievement" that it represented. She is sure that even if he lost the money, that he
would be pleased. He has always placed a high value on achieving things that are difficult
and/or dangerous.

How ame To Suspect X

p,«| | but it wasn't until the early

1990s thaq |had any suspicion that Imight have committed any crimes

in the past. Even then she had no idea that he might have committed the Cooper
skyjacking (a crime she had heard about, but about which she knew little, mostly only
what she gathered from a movie she had seen back in the 1970s).

Then, in 1997, she read a long article about people who had mysteriously
disappeared and had never been found (Jimmy Hoffa, Madlyn Murray O'Hare, etc.).
One of the cases touched on in the article was D. B. Cooper. One aspect of the article
interested her (not the Cooper part) and she wanted to gel] eaction, so she

read the article to him. When she did so, it was the part about D. B. Cooper that interested

him, and he showed a surprising amount of knowledge about the case — quite detailed
knowledge about a case then almost 30 years old. Since she now suspected him of having
committed other crimes in the past, this got her thinking, and she quickly remembered
two things.

First, back in the mid-1970s, she and lhad seen a movie about D. B.
Cooper. She had no particular interest in the movie, buf Iwas eager to see it
and so they went as soon as it came out. The only reason she remembers it is because of
the highly unusual reaction off___] to the movie. His normal personality is
somewhat reserved, not much given to enthusiasm or emotional expression. But at this
movie, he was on the edge of his seat, his face aglow, laughing at all the jokes. His
reaction was so oversized and unusual tha remembers it much better than she
does the movie. But it never entered her mind at that time that he could have comunitted
the crime (or any crime). His reaction, taken by itself, might mean only that the movie
struck a chord with him or perhaps that, unknown to her, he was a D. B. Cooper "fan."

The second thing she remembered also occurred in the mid-1970s. She and[__]
[_Jiivea in the eastern United States. During this time|__nnounced on
one occasion that he would be in California on business for a few days and afterward
could drive up to Portland. He had been to Portland any number of times before, and
liked the city, but she had been there only once, and then only briefly. So he suggested

that she fly out to Portland to meet him, and to see the city, and then they could drive
home across the U.S., making it a vacation trip.

When she flew into the Portland airport| | met her and insisted on
giving her a full tour of the airport, as if it were one of the major tourist sites of the city.
It was a nice enough airport, but there was nothing distinctive about it; it was much like

airports in a hundred other metropolitan areas. Bui______was very enthusiastic
about showing it to her. This, like his reaction to the movie, was so peculiar that she
remembered it well, even years later. But at the time she made no connection between.
this and the movie or the Cooper case. It was only in 1997, when it occurred to her that
he might have committed the Cooper skyjacking, that these two memories came together.

As odd as these occasions were, though, she did not put much weight on them.
Mote striking was an event that occurred on November 24, 1999. She i
had flown into Atlanta and rented a car to drive to North Carolina, for a Thanksgiving

They had a long way to drive, but
trying to get out of Atlanta proved to be a nightmare. The holiday traffic in a city like
Atlanta would have been difficult at best, but it turned out that there had been a serious
truck accident along their route, and traffic ground to a halt. For a long time, they could
only inch along. As a result, X came to be in a really foul mood, one that threatened to
spoil the whole weekend, especially as they had not been looking forward to the weekend
anyway. (Ag |But then something happened. The
car radio was on, and without warning the news announcer suddenly said, "Do you know
what tonight is? Tonight is the twenty-cighth anniversary of D. B. Cooper." He explained
briefly who Cooper was and told a weak joke in tribute to him, and then went on to the
day's news. Immediately X's mood changed, and changed totally, though the traffic
remained horrible for some time. X immediately became very cheerful and upbeat, and
he remained "up," i.e., not just in a better mood but noticeably happier than normal, not
only for the rest of the drive but for the entire weekend. Though he never mentioned what
had been said on the radio, it was obvious that it had triggered a radical change of mood.
It also seemed that this was not the reaction of a mere "fan."

At this timd began to read about the case. Everything she read, from
Cooper's behavior to the phrases and expressions he had used, reminded her forcefully
of IShe also realized that he had all the skills needed to carry out the
skyjacking, that he had had a motive to do so, and that he could have had the opportunity.
It was only because of this — and not because of the odd behavior of
mentioned above -- that we made an effort to locate the stewardess who
had had so much contact with Cooper during the commission of the crime. However,
when we were unable to locate her, we felt our chances of getting anywhere with the case
were remote, and we turned our attention back to our original concerns. Nevertheless, wé
remained convinced that there was a possibility that X was guilty of the skyjacking.

As far as we know, X has never come even remotely close to being looked at by
the authorities, and there is no reason why he should have. He did not live in the North-
west at the time, he has no criminal record, he is steadily employed, married and well

respected, his outdoors and sports activities are low profile, often carried out on his own.

If he was Cooper, even his appearance would not be likely to arouse any suspicion. The
composite sketch could look reasonably like a lot of people and was probably circulated
mostly in the Northwest. And the addition of a hairpiece would itself make enough of a
difference to allay any recognition. As a result, it is only in circumstances like the

present, where someone knows the suspect intimately, that suspicion and discovery is
likely to occur.

Dear Agent

I appreciated the opportunity to talk with you recently about a man I believe is a
bona fide suspect in the Cooper skyjacking case.

You asked me to provide the man's military record, a photo of him about the time
of the skyjacking, and a current photo, as well as his birth date and Social Security
number. All of these are enclosed with this letter.

While I'm at it, let me add two or three brief comments.
First, the record that the military provided doesn't state where our suspect was

assigned, except indirectly. In fact, he served his two full years at Travis Air Force Base
north of San Francisco, where he worked]

Second, as mentioned, our suspect is al | This caused us to have

doubts for some time. To put it simply, we-didn't think uld commit crimes, at
least major crimes unrelated to his profession. But we reason to suspect him in
a number of cases, 30 we contacted |who once

worked in the FBI's profiling unit at Quantico] _| Jassured us, on the basis of his
knowledge and experience, that it was perfectly possible for a successful professional to
also commit major crimes. A sociopathic criminal, he said, can be quite functional and
successful in normal life, and. can seem very straight and normal to those who know him.

rigany: Oreaneehiiped add that any inquiry into our suspect should be done
carefully, so gets back to him. We regard him as a potentially dangerous
individual uld be at risk if he should learn that he was being investigated.

Again, thank you for your consideration. I look forward to talking with you again.

Dear Agent b7C

I got the message you left on my answering machine regarding the suspect whose
photos I sent you. I appreciate your prompt response.

You said the suspect could not be Cooper as Cooper was not balding. In all
probability, you're right about this. Of course, I knew from the composite pictures that
Cooper did not appear to be balding, or to be disguised in any way. But I thought that it
would be natural for a skyjacker who knew he would be observed at length to disguise
himself in some way. In particular, if he was a man who was balding across the top, he
would want to wear a hairpiece to conceal this fact. And he would want it to look natural,
as some better quality hairpieces can if they are carefully applied. It would just be a
matter of careful planning.

Nevertheless, I agree that this possibility is pretty small. And we have no direct
evidence tying our suspect to the crime. As you said, it is a matter of conjecture, though
the conjecture is based on our suspect's skills and the fact that we have had him under
investigation for other crimes. But obviously this doesn't warrant the expenditure of the
Bureau's resources in investigating him any further.

Nevertheless, I will enclose with this letter a copy of a DNA profile done on our
suspect. If there is a DNA profile done-on Cooper, now or in the future, all I ask is that
the two be compared. That should take hardly any time or effort. And while it's very
unlikely for there to be a match, it's not beyond the realm of possibility. For a minimal
effort, there is the possibility of a big payoff.

Again, thanks for your consideration and your timely response.

Sincerely,

certain that S had been in the hospital for one to two weeks, and
had many broken bones. Shortly thereafter, S went to Mexico for
two weeks to recuperate. C stated he had checked the hospitals
at the time, looking for a David Brooks, and had been unable to
find him.

Additionally, C stated a man by the name of | b6

been an alumni of Thayer Academy, and used to fly Piper aircraft.

Finally, C stated S used to tell him about his dog,

C felt S had used his own initials and the name of his

August 13, 2003

FBI C/O Duty Officer
1110 Third Avenue
Seattle, Washington 98101

REF: My phone conversation with Seattle area duty officer (1-206-262-2000) and fax of Timeline
transmitted same day.

ATTIN: My total data package -- mostly from the internet.
Agent in charge,

The D.B. Cooper skyjacking case of November 1971, to my knowledge has never been resolved. I believe
that this data package, if followed up, may enable that closure. My interest in the case started when I was
transferred to Seattle in June of 1972 and the D.B. Cooper sensation was still very much in the news. In
addition, the story of the Falcon and the Snowman was released a short time later and I was employed in
an environment similar to that of the story. I did not relate the stories at that time.

When I saw the pictuure (attached) in our local paper a it rang a very loud bell in my
memory. He was D.B. Cooper as shown in the composit drawing of 1972. I then started the timeline

relating [_Jend Cooper and became more and more convinced that these names were very posibily the
same man.

Some questions I have not been able to answer from the internet are:
0 Did____]do any sport parashute jumping in highschool or shortly thereafter?
o Where was his friend| in '71 and '72 --They had always worked together.

as paroled form federal prison ir] Ae ee since that time. I believe

that if this data turns out to be true, jand maybe ill disapear during parole
along with any money remaining from thier skyjacking and espionage activities. | Started taking
flying lessons during the 18 months after |

I would greatly appreciate knowing thie results of your review of this package and , of course, any reward.
offered for identifying DB. Cooper.

Sincerely ,

Cooper were missing when the plane landed for refueling in Reno.

Soldiers, police, volunteers and FBI agents searched the area — which
the densest forest in the U.S. — for 18 days by foot, planes, boats an
helicopters. But not until 1980 was any trace of Cooper found.:<

A_little over five thousand dollars of Cooper's spoils were discovered b

Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent assigned to the case, remains steac
belief that Cooper would not have survived — whether he was killed by
the powerful turbulence on the way down, or died from a lack of food
gear in the forest.

Himmelsbach may refer to him as "a dirty, rotten crook," but D.B. Coo
achieved almost cult status. And just in case he ever does show up, ai
charges await him in U.S. District Court.

I have been thinking of this for many years. I may have a suspect for y

He looks so very much like the sketches that have been circulating since the
event. His height, weight, clothing that he wore, matches to a T.
I use to work for this guy. We built aircraft parts. We visited many 727's
where he showed me how the rear door worked. He knew all the buttons and
mechanisms.

One way to eliminate or prove him as a suspect is to find the cigarette
butts that he left behind and extract DNA from them, if possible. He drinks
coffee at the same place and time every day where you could get DNA samples.
Then do a background check on him including getting his picture from the J

The Crime

On 11/24/1971, the day before Thanksgiving, a lone
White male boarded Northwest Orient flight 305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while the flight was en
route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that
his briefcase contained a bomb, which would blow up the plane
unless his demands were met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000.00 and four parachutes
in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane.
When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Northwest 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 desired
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 flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere between
Seattle 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.

Original artist's conception drawing of the aircraft
hijacker were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are
considered a reasonable likeness. The more recent aged composite
was prepared to depict what the hijacker might have looked like
in 1999. .

The hijacker was described as follows:

Race: White

Sex: Male

Age: Mid-40s

Height: Five feet ten inches to six feet

Weight : 170 to 180 pounds

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 the flight, the hijacker
put on dark, wrap-around sunglasses
with dark rims

ORIGINAL MONTAGE AGED TO 1999

LEADS: '

; 1. TYPICAL - A relative or former friend resembles
UNSUB and has had previous parachuting experience. In addition,
he had "a lot of money" at about that time and he possibly said
he was "D.B. COOPER" While drinking in a bar.

DB Cooper-21820

==== Part 52 · PDF page 171 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-21821 ====
NORJAK
Page 3

Age differences or height differences between the
suspect and UNSUB generally can disprove 95 percent of these
leads.

2. NOT TYPICAL - Suspect is dead and told witnesses he
was "D.B. COOPER." He also said he lost the money in the jump.

Age and height differences plus location on 11/24/1971
or 11/25/1971 can be useful in processing these suspects.

Seattle and lived in many small towns in Washington over the years.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Synopsis: To set phase II leads for investigation and collection

of DNA samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNA 1. This case

remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United States, and is

commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" investigation. Items

collected should be forwarded directly to the Laboratory, DNA 1,

Attention The EC should be uploaded to SE be
164A-81-DNA. bic

Enclosures: For each receiving office is one case information
sheet. This information is also available to be emailed to any
RA Agents who do not receive the enclosure.

Details: Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects
meriting subfiles have been processed by Seattle with the
assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most, opened in the
initial stages of the investigation, were quickly eliminated,
some required extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained
of interest and could not be included or excluded through normal

means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted
from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been
identified. This case remains the only unresolved airplane
hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is very likely that the
hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If
currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's.
As hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has recently
again advised that no statute of limitations exists.

For the information of VCMOS and receiving offices, a
recent resubmission of an item connected to the UNSUB has
resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA. This DNA was suitable
for entry into CODIS and for identification and elimination.
Seattle has identified the below individuals from which a DNA
Sample is desired to process a comparison.

A review is being conducted in Seattle to identify
possible candidates for DNA comparison. It is anticipated that
only a very small minority of the original suspect pool will
qualify for this DNA project. Phase II of this review involved
the completed review of subject subfiles 1-500.

Due to the extensive and counterproductive media
coverage that, in some cases, may result from these contacts, ail
offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with
these leads. Some of these suspects may have known they were
considered a person of interest, others may not. Likewise the
families may, or may not be aware. In cases where the suspect is
alive, oral swabs should be solicited. In cases where the
subject is deceased, all methods to include hair from shavers,
brushes, salvia from postage stamps, etc. should be considered.
In those cases where recovery of these items are not possible,
obtain proper death and burial records. Contact Seattle case
agent before asking family members for any exhumation authority.
In the event the suspect, and/or famil cannot be located
receiving offices should set out appropriate leads to follow up
with an information copy to Seattle.

Obtain samples by one of the following methods, in the
following order of priority:

1. Oral swabs from suspect (best)

2. Toothbrush, shaver, brush, comb belonging to
suspect, or envelope with saliva on flap or stamp
{second best).

3. Oral swabs from both surviving parents (third
best).

4. Oral swab from two of suspect's natural children.
(fourth best).

advised that this is merely another investigative step following
advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA
evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons
contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family
member are a suspect of great interest in this case. Unless
specifically requested in lead, no interviews are needed at this
time, other than appropriate FD-302 to document DNA samples.
Media discussions should be avoided. Refer any media_inquiries

at the time, has military jump experience, and reportedly
discussed committing the "perfect crime" prior to the hijacking.

was only partially cooperative during his interviews in
1972 and 1977, and uncooperative when contacted in 1979 and
ultimately refused to answer further questions or take a
polygraph examination. Alibi information he provided concerning
his work activities and travel during November 1971 was proven at
least partially false. He was last contacted in January 1979
while living in Campbell, California. Following that contact,
retained an attorney and refused a polygraph. In 1993,
was again identified as being the UNSUB by an another
associate who had viewed an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment about
this case. Contact Seattle Case Agent if further details are
desired.

Township, New Jersey

a prior resident of Bugene, Oregon surfaced
aS a suspect in 1972 on a referral from the Los Angeles Division.
One witness onboard NW 305 subsequently advised thats
bore a very strong resemblance to the UNSUB. Investigation could
not rule lout based a one week gap in his work attendance
at the time of the hijacking.[.——S'dJworked for TWA as a

knowledge of his mention as a suspect in this matter.

3. Richard Floyd McCoy Jr. (deceased) (SUB 386).
SSN 237-66-3779
**CAUTION SUGGESTED**
**Family may be uncooperative**

McCoy was convicted of a copycat hijacking of a United Airlines
flight in April, 1972 in which he successfully parachuted from
that flight over Utah with $500,000. McCoy was
arrested/convicted of that offense and most of the hijack

proceeds were recovered. McCoy later escaped from prison and was
shot _and killed in November, 1974 after drawing a weapon on FBI

Agents attempting his arrest in Virginia Beach, Virginia. McCoy
never claimed to have been COOPER, and there was significant

differences in methodology between the two crimes. Evidence
indicated McCoy was in Salt Lake City on 11/25/1971, and had
possibly attended class at BYU on 11/24/1971. Some evidence
exists that McCoy and his wife actually drove to Las Vegas on
11/24/1971. Although the weight of the evidence points toward
the elimination of McCoy, speculation continued. In July, 1972
McCoy allegediy told his Pre-Trial officer in Salt Lake City
prior to his receiving a 45 year sentence for the UAL hijacking,
that he had done "another one", In light of some contradiction
in evidence concerning McCoy, and the possibility that the
gifferences in methodology between the hijacking can be partially
explained as a possible natural refinement of methods, a DNA
sample is being sought.

It is recognized that McCoy's family may still be uncooperative,

and appropri aution should utilized. During McCoy's trial in

Subject: Norjak/ Granite Productions request

UNCLASSIFIED
RECORD SE 164A-81

CI be
b7C

Per your request, | will address each of the 13 items requested by Granite Productions. However, in general, and

in the past we have directed most inquiries of this nature to public source information that is everywhere on this

case. Much of it is not entirely accurate, but this helps us weed out people who claim first hand knowledge.

Many people have viewed such shows as the Granite Productions proposal and used it as a basis to claim their

husband/brother/etc. was Dan Cooper. Many people have submitted FOI requests. One FOI tawsuit is pending

now. The only exceptions to this strategy in my knowledge was for a two 'mainsiream shows (i.e. History

Channel) in which we did live interviews. Even in those cases we never commented on the evidence we had, or

provided any documents from the case file. The tone was mainly 'Here is the crime, here is the artist conception

of the subject, the FBI still has an open case and will hot stop looking to resolve this matter, etc". These

interviews were done at ihe express request of FBIHQ due to the national exposure possibilities. We agreed only

as it could benefit the casé.

| believe we must treat this as any other pending FBI investigation with regard to release of information.

With regard to the specific requests from Granite Productions:

1. Flight Data from FAA and other sources concerning flight path: | know of no instance in which this was
provided or discussed with anyone outside of LE. Suggest referring thém to public reported sources.

2. Archive film footage of an experiment with the NW 727 after the hijacking. This was provided to Unsolved
Mysteries/History Channel, a decision expressly made by SAC Mandigo due to the credibie nature of the
production and request from FBIHQ, an is also not evidence. | see no harm to the case to providing this tape,
other than the precedent set and us having to provide another tape to everyone who claims news affiliation, with
no benefit to the case or FBI. We are not providing the tape under pending FOI requests.

3. Map and area searched by FBI. This should not be provided and has not been provided to my knowledge.

4, "Psychological Profiling" conducted by the FBI. Information of this sort has not been discussed. The photo
and aged composite that ] had done in 1998 can be provided.

'hunters, and another to-cE, 30-plus:years-ago— -- ; ——— ~ tt ee

6. Details about the discovery of the 727 aft stairs placard: Refer them to public sources. This has been
reported in those sources.

7. Capy of document listing serial numbers of ransom bills. All the serial numbers were published in either the
Seattle Times or PI at the time. No copies of this document-(or an other from the case file should be provided).
Unsolved Mysteries asked for this and was also turned down,

8. FBI photographs of ransom money found at Tina's Bar near Vancouver in the early 1980's. The money found

@ e

in February 1980 at TENA BAR (Not TINA's Bar) was photographed by news media and appeared in the paper
at the time. Refer them to public sources.

9. FBI photographs of search of Tena Bar. Press photos of the search appeared at the time. We should not
release any photos produced by the FBI.

10. information about the condition of money that was found compared to the how the money had been
packaged when provided io COOPER. Details of the money as presented te COOPER contain useful holdback
details which should not be discussed. We can tell them that the serial numbers of the found money matched the
batch of bills given to COOPER during the hijacking.

11. Copy of the geologist report submitted to the FBI concerning the possible point of origin of the money found
at Tena Bar. This was a report commissioned by the FBI and is evidence. It should not be provided.

12. Documents pertaining to the investigation of Richard McCoy. McCoy was a subject of a Salt Lake FBI case.
Information determined about McCay cannot be provided by Seattle. McCoy's Salt Lake case ts particularly
sensitive as he was later shot by the FBI after having drawing a gun while being arrested for prison escape and
Bank Robbery. Recent attempts by the FBI Salt Lake have been made (at Seattle's request) to get cooperation of
family members.

13. information about physical evidence recovered from NW 305, The FBI never provides information about
physical evidence recovered during a criminal pending investigation.

Please bear in mind that all of the above items have been sought repeatedly during a variety of
unsuccessful FOI requests. | don't think we can treat Granite Productions any differently that these
requestors, especially since there is no benefit to the case to do so. Otherwise a bad precedent would be
set, both for this case and for other old pending major FBI investigations.

DAYTON said that she did not do it for the money. DAYTON had
a hard life because of her sexual identity issues, so it was her
way of getting back at the world. DAYTON was also upset that she
could not be a commercial pilot and thought the FAA was too harsh
on private pilots. DAYTON stated that she planned the idea while
spending time in the hospital bed after one of her many surgeries.
DAYTON claimed that she had put the money in a cistern on a farm
near Woodburn. DAYTON had hidden a change of clothes near the farm
before the jump. After the jump, DAYTON put women's clothes on,
walked to Woodburn, and took a bus to Portland where her car was
located.

DAYTON thought that the statute of limitations would be up
around that time of her telling the story, so she felt comfortable
talking about the story. However, once she found out that the
statute of limitations were extended in around 1980, DAYTON told
the[ sd that she had made the story up, that it was all a bé6
"dream". They did not talk about the story much after that. The BIC

moved to Nevada. DAYTON had a relationship with a man, and the man

January 2-2008 —

This is a long shot possibility so I expect that any
investigation will be done as discreetly as possibie. An
investigation of his work record would help to rule him out
as a suspect if he was at work when the high jacking went
down or had not taken any vacation then. He may have left
the job at Rocky Flats before the high jacking but I just
do not remember anymore.

Since then the Rocky Flats plant has been completely
dismantled and the buildings all torn down and disposed of
at a contaminated land fill. Dow Chemical Company was the
prime contractor at the time so it would be necessary to
check with their main office in Midland Michigan as they no
longer have an office in Colorado.

About the time of D.B.Cooper there was a young man who
worked with us at Rocky Flats nuclear plant between Golden
and Boulder Colorado. He was working in the engineering

office and was about 25 years old. His last name was[ b6
but I do not remember the first name. It should be easy b7Cc
enough to get the first name from Dow Chemical Company

records.

One day he showed us a photo of his wife, all decked out in

those underwear type outfits they wear in Karate classes,

standing next | instructor. She ran off with the

instructor and] went bonkers. As I remember he was 56
out on Colfax in Denver running across the street in heavy bie
traffic. There may be a police report of that incident in

either the Denver or Lakewood police offices depending on

how far West it was on Colfax.

He had recently finished a class on sky diving and gave us
some demonstrations on how much time you had to open your
xeserve chute in case the main chute did not open. He had
also taken up with some girl who I believe was a daughter
of a professor at the college in Boulder.

His behavior was flaky after his wife left him that way. I

remember him standing on top of a drafting board and using

an old ink well type pen to drop ink on a sheet of paper to
see if he could hit a certain spot. That is not the kind of
thing one would expect of a young engineering graduate. He

did not seem to care if he got a poor report concerning his
work activities.

Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. —The FBI is'
making a new stab at identifying
mysterious skyjacker Dan Coo-
per, releasing new details that it
hopes willjogsomeone's memory:
about the man who bailed out of
an airliner in 1971 and vanished.

The man calling himself Dan.
Cooper, also known as D.B. Coo-
per, boarded a Northwest flight
in Portland for a flight to Seattle
on the night of Nov. 24, 1971, and
commandeered the plane,.claim-
ing he had dynamite.

In Seattle, he demanded and
got $200,000 and four parachutes:
and demanded
to be flown to |

Mexico. Some-
where over
southwestern
Washington, he
jumped out the
plane's tail exit

with a map of areas where Coo-

"Who was Cooper? Did he sur-.
vive the jump? We're providing
new information and pictures
and asking for your help in solv-
ing the case," the FBI said in a
statement,

The FEI said that while Cooper
was originally thought to have
been an experienced jumper,
it has since concluded that was
wrong and thathe almostcertain:,
ly didnit survive the jump in the
dark and rain. He hadnt specified
aroute for the plane to fly and had
no-way of knowing where he-was
when he went out the exit .

"Diving into the wilderness.
without a plan, without the right:
equipment, in such terrible con-
ditions, he probably never even

agent Larry Carr said.

Several people have claimed to.
be Cooper over the years but were
dismissed on the basis of physical
descriptions, parachuting experi-
ence and, later, by DNA evidence
recovered in 2001 from the cheap
tie the skyjacker left on the plane.

In 1980, a boy walking near the
Columbia River found $5,800 of
the stolen money, in tattered $20
bills. "Maybe a hydrologist can,
use the latest technology to trace

the $5,800 in ransom money.
found in 1980 to where Cooper
Janded upstream," Carr said. "Or
maybe someone just remembers,
that odd uncle,"

"Eamily" Wins Big Z Star Meet

by

Jerry Tyson
with photos by the Author

The first big star meet to be held outside of California
tock place November 29 and 30, 1969 at Zephyrhills,
Florida. Three ten-man teams competed and the "Family,"
from Hinckley, Illinois, were the winners. The meet practically
never got off the ground. Originally scheduled for the Friday
and Saturday of Thanksgiving Day weekend, it suffered from
that rarity in Florida, a stalled front smack on top of
Zephyrhills airport that produced the following aerological
nonsensé: Thursday, November 27, iow clouds, wind, rain
5500' max; Friday, November 28, same soup plus more rain,
Saturday, November 29, low clouds in the morning, chill
wind but a promise of a break at noon, It did break at noon
and the meet got rolling.

The Teams

Its hard to find a place in the U.S. that's farther away
from most any place else than Zephyrhilis. It's even harder to
get jumpers to go such great distances for a meet. The odds
against getting 10 in a group to ante up the necessary travel,
entry fee, and expense money are phenomenal. In sponsoring
such a meet to further large star relative work, Jeff Searles
took an enormous chance on losing his shirt. Two months
before the meet he had verbal promises of as many as five
entries for the 10-man event plus several more for the
five-man event. The five-man event never got off the ground
and three teams showed for the 10-man: the "Family" from
Hinckley, Iil., a team from Taft, California and a pick-up
team from the Tampa-Zephyrhills area. Neither the "Family"
nor Taft arrived with a full quota, the "Family" picking up
three jumpers on the spot and Taft picking up two.

The Aircraft

"Big Z" is one of the best places in the U.S. to have a star
meet, In regard to aircraft support it is the best place. On hand
for the meet, should they be needed, were the following: a
DC-3, a €-47, a Lockheed Electra (like an overgrown Twin
Beech), 2 Cessna 196's, and a Cessna 182. All of these aircraft,
loaded and flying formation, couid deposit 96 jumpers into
the air over Z-hills. | personally wouldn't want to be any-
where near such a mess but you get the idea — there are a lot
of jump platforms at the place.

For the 10-man event a DC-3 was used. It accommodated
three 10-man teams at a time plus assorted photographers,
observers, hangers-on, et al. Let's lay to rest right here the
fallacy that you can't use a DC-3 ora C-47 for RW. It's simply
not true. All it takes is know how and a nice hand at the
controls. Both the pilot, Bill Griffin, and the co-pilot, Bob
Porter, who owned the plane, have several hundred hours
each flying jumpers in this type aircraft.

Except for the first round, which the judges didn't see
because of intermittent clouds, we were climbing at 1,000 fpm
with 35 passengers in the plane and reaching 13,500 feet in
18 to 20 minutes, using 142 gallons an hour. At $7.00 a head
it beats flying freight. The exits averaged seven seconds per
team and our speed on jump run was 75-80 knots. During the
third round they had it down to 70 knots indicated. You say
that's not possible? It is and here's how: on jump run the
wheels are lowered, quarter flaps are extended and some
power is reduced on the left engine. The aircraft has a tendency
to yaw in this attitude but any experienced pilot can compen
sate, Very little altitude is lost and at 13,500 who cares?
It was a good plane to jump from. You can stand up, stretch,
chant exhortational mantras, harass the other teams, in short,
really get yourself psyched up for some inspired wrist-breaking.

The FAA On Seatbelts

it is certainly recognized that a
person experiencing an inadvertent
parachute opening while secured by
a safety belt would suffer serious
or possibly fatal injury. On the
other hand, we have evidence to
show that accidents have been
caused by jump occupants who
were not wearing their safety belts.
The Southern Region recently
investigated two such accidents.
The pilot in each case was unable
to maintain control of the jump
aircraft because the parachutists on
board were not wearing their safety
belts. What should have been
nothing more than two minor in-
cidents resulted in serious accidents
through noncompliance with
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR)
91.14.

it is our feeling that safety
would suffer far more by allowing
parachutists to ignore this rule than
would be the case of requiring them
to have their safety belts fastened
during takeoff and landing. The
chances of a pilot having to abort
a takeoff run or make an emergency
stop during landing will, i think,
be greater than inadvertent para-
chute openings during takeoff and
landing.

FAR 91.14 applies only during
takeoff and landing. The nile does
not prohibit unfastening safety
belts after a takeoff has been com-
pleted; however, [ would sincerely
hope that jump aircraft pilots
would request that safety belts be
kept fastened until an altitude has
been attained. which would at least
give the victim of an inadvertent
parachute opening a fighting chance
for survival.

_ Your interest in aviation safety
Is greatly appreciated and we will
further explore this problem with
the United States Parachute
Association and others that we have
contact with. It is hoped that you
will continue to assist us in our
efforts to keep the Federal Aviation
Regulations realistic and effective.

DEPUTY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S NOTE

UNSUB,

aka DAN COOPER;
NORJAK;

CAA - HIJACKING;
OO: SEATTLE;

SB 164A-81 (PENDING)~ PLY 7 wi

Background:

On 11/24/1971, Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, from Portland,
Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, by claiming he had a bomb. Cooper demanded four parachutes
and $200,000. The hijacker eventually jumped from the back of the plane with a parachute and
the ransom money, somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nevada. Although it is likely the
hijacker did not survive the jump, if living, the hijacker would likely be in his mid to late 70's.
The FBI investigation, dubbed "NORJAK", for Northwest hijacking, has totaled over 1000
interviews, tracked leads involving all FBI Field Offices, and considered more than 800 suspects.
In 1980, a young boy found approximately $5,800 in decaying $20 bills, that matched the ransom
money serial numbers.

Recent Events:

Various agents have been assigned over the years to manage the leads that continue to
come In regarding the investigation and to manage the DNA Project. In 2004, a re-submission of
evidence resulted in the recovery of male nuclear DNA and was entered into CODIS for future
identification and elimination of suspects. The DNA Project identified possible candidates for
DNA comparison and individuals from which a DNA sample should be obtained. In 2006, the
Laboratory Division determined the degraded DNA sample could only be used to exclude
individuals as possible donors. To date, only a few of the original suspect pool have been
included in the DNA Project for comparison with negatives.

In recognition of the 35th anniversary of the hijacking (November 2008), the Seattle
Division granted limited media access to various portions of the case files. Numerous e-mails
were received in response, but nothing substantive until early March, when the Seattle Division
was contacted by bf Amboy, WA.[/___|children recovered a parachute from
an area on his property wherd _}was grading the property with a tractor. Apparently

nearthed the parachute without his knowledge and his children discovered it while
playing in the area. The children recovered the parachute by cutting the chute from the canopy
lines, which were deeply embedded in the ground| attempted to recover the remaining
portions of the parachute but his children were unable to locate the original area where the
parachute was discovered. Based on comparative analysis of the location of the parachute with
Cooper's probable jump zone, the discovery is plausible. The parachute is currently being
analyzed and reviewed by subject matter experts to determine if the parachute is consistent with
the age and type known to have been used by Cooper. This will determine if further
investigation is warranted. If the preliminary investigation confirms the parachute is related, a
determination will be made for further investigation at the recovery site.

Russ Gunby

Russ Gunby joined the US Army in 1940 and made his
first jump in 1944 after trying for 3 years to get accepted
into jump school. At the time, US Army regulations

xe Bid Es,
"True Stories

forbade soldiers from jumping outside of military Brothers in Arm ihe
operations jumps. Gunby disliked this mle and worked to Division (Boxed Sct)

get it changed. He did unofficial jumps, breaking the rules, prem svn
by using surplus equipment and hiring a pilot for $50. He
also founded the parachute club at Ft Ord, CA.

Gunby wrote Army Regulation 9519 in 1956. This
regulation actively encouraged sport parachuting. He went
around to many Army bases encouraging the
establishment of clubs. Much to his dismay, he received a
very cool reception to these ideas,

£nk Johnson

Gunby would ask a base Colonel to join the local club.
The Colonel would ask, "Why?" Gunby would say "Why
not, you've been jumping for years?" The Colonel would
then reply, "How much will you pay me?".

Gunby said, "I was dumbfounded. For the first time in my
life I found out there were Army paratroopers who didn't
like to jump. That really shocked me. I was going around d
with my new regulations saying, "Hey look here, we can Parachuting:The Skydiver's
all jump." and everybody was saying, "You're nuts, man". Handbook

After AR 9519 was official, surplus equipment was made
available. The big problem that surface was that anyone
could claim to be a parachuting instructor. This lead to
injuries and fatalities because of inadequate training
procedures.

This situation prompted Gunby to hitchhike to the PCA
Board meeting in NY in 1959. He asked about proposed
safety regulations. He was voted Secretary/Treasurer by
the end of that meeting.

Russ Gunby, C-350, was the first skydiving instructor in
the US and conducted the first Instructor's course in 1959
in Phoenix, AZ. He also established the Area Safety
Officer (now S&TA) and the Conference (now Region)
method of representation.

Russ Gunby wrote a book called "Sport Parachuting - a
basic handbook of sport parachuting" in 1960 when at age
38 while still in the Army. He mortgaged his home to
produce the first printing. Later printings were
underwritten by Jeppesen.

More than 80,000 copies were sold. Gunby says of "Sport
Parachuting" ... "In the beginning the book filled the void
in the absence of knowledgable instructors. Today it's used
to augment and reinforce student instruction, and that's
good. it has done much more than I originally anticipated."

His book was a cornerstone in writing down
methodologies and procedures for the safe training of
jumpers.

Gunby's Army career included enlisting as a private,
infantry combat leader, combat intelligence officer. He
attained the rank of Major in 20 years of service. Gunby
resigned from the Anny in Dec. 1960 to become full time
Executive Director of PCA. He had a salary of about
$2000 per year.

PCA was headquartered in Mt. Kisco, NY and Gunby
lived in Monterey, CA. He stipulated that PCA had to be
run from Monterey in order for him to accept the position
of Executive Director.

PCA headquarters was relocated to Monterey, CA in 1960.
PCA membership was 859. Gunby served as Executive
Director from 1958 (?? sources conflict} to 1963.

In 1964, Gunby ran for PCA President and relinquished
the Executive Director position. Also in 1964, Parachute
Club of America (PCA) was changed to United States
Parachute Association (USPA) because the word club did
not properly express the stature of the organization.
Membership was over 10,000.

USPA presented Gunby with its Achievement Award in
1977. The inscription reads: "A founding spirit who saw
the future when others doubted. As author, Executive
Director and PCA President, he gave countless hours to
build the early framework of our sport,"

Gunby was awarded PEIA's (former name of PIA) first
Achievement Award in 1981. Don Beck, PEIA Secretary
said, "When the Parachute Equipment Industry
Association first decided to create an Achievement Award,

the principle criterion was a major contribution to the sport
parachute field, but most importantly, it had to withstand
the test of time. Without question Russ Gunby's
contributions meet that criterion. His book, Sport
Parachuting, has been used as THE training manual for a
whole generation of skydivers and those training methods
are still being used. PETA is proud to present this award to
an outstanding man in the filed of parachuting safety."

Gunby battled lung cancer and actually wanted to make a
one-lung jump in 1982, Gunby spent the last years of his
life in Tahlequah, OK. He died April 8, 1982 from lung
cancer,

real hijacker. Russe Statea that he lost the money during the
jump. Russell had tied a bag of money to the parachute he was
wearing. The impact of the parachute opening caused the bag to
snap loose. Russell spent the next two days looking for the
money bag, but abandoned his efforts fearing law enforcement
authorities would eventually discover his location.

A review of Russell's military records provided by
[| revealed that Russell was a_member of the 82nd Airborne
Division of the United State Army. Ce not recall the
specific date, but believed Russell died over 20 years ago in
Oklahoma. Online records search by the writer discovered that
Russell A. Gunby died on April 8, 1982 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Military records further identified Russell as having a
date of birth of October 1, 1922 and place of birth Englewood,
Colorado. Russell served in the United States Army from 1940 to
1960.

Public records checks reveal that Russell authored the
Sport Parachuting Handbook circa 1960. His place in the sport of
parachuting is well documented online.

Russell's most prominent mention is in
Parachutehistory.com. An article identifies him as the recipient
cf the 1977 United States Parachute Association (USPA)
Achievement Award. Russell is believed to have played a very
prominent role in the establishment of the Parachute Club of
America (PCA), which preceded the USPA. Also, he was identified
in the article as the first skydiving instructor in the U.S.

SUMMERPOWER!

On their summer jobs: Les
Ballets Modernes du
Québec (above), and the crew
from Ontario's Farm

Lab Theatre (right), who are
turning an oid farm into a
children's theater warkshop.

BY IRA MOTHNER

LOOK SENIOR EDITOR

Each summer when schoo} iets out
and turns youth loose on the land,
there is less for them to do and jess
they find worth doing. !t figures that
youngipeople will start to slip out ona
society that has so little use for them.
So thé government of Canada has
taken step one toward easing their
annual angst.

Canada is underwriting under-
ground newspapers, paying for ven-
tures called Gorilla {sic] Radio and The
Kundalini Yoga Workshop, but mostly
for day camps, wilderness camps,
drug-crisis services, drop-in centers,
dropout centers, programs for wel-

CANADA GIVES YOUTH ITS HEAD-AND BREAD

fare rights and sea gull control, dental
hygiene and sex information, and
bankrolling troupes of actors, danc-
ers, Marionettes and tumbiers.

To some nervous citizens, "Oppor-
tunities for Youth," linchpin of the
summer youth program, seems a
scheme to subsidize radicals or slip
hush money to the vocally abrasive
young. But a good many students are
happily working for the first time with-
in a system they doubted had elbow.
room for the likes of them.

The idea was to get kids—high
school, college and graduate students
—off the streets and out of every-
body's hair without them slopping
over into the job market. Canada's un-
employment figures have been sprint-
ing a shade ahead of ours, and even
when the economy is blooming, there
are never enough summer jobs in
Canada, any more than there are in
the U.S. Neither country has much
need for young hands these days, so
more youngsters stay on in school
longer. Many need summer pay to
pick up part of their educational tab.
But there are fewer tables to wait on,
bells to hop or lives to save for the
seasona{ amateur.

Both the Canadian Government and
ours take on student summer help.
But young sunshine bureaucrats pick
up only part of the slack. The emphasis
on our side of the border is now busy-
work for the poor and potentially
troublesome. Most jobs are with the
Neighborhood Youth Corps, a pov-
erty program that gives work experi-
ence to youngsters from families be-
low the poverty dine.

Canada hasn't followed our lead.
Canadians haven't had our summer
troubles and don't like means-tested
benefits (where you've got to prove
you're poor). Their new summer pian
is pegged to what Ottawa officials
call "changing life styles of kids." It
includes travel, language training (to
encourage bilingualism} and Oppor-
tunities for Youth, work young people
plan and run themseives. Government
types agree that "the kids want to do
a lot of things that have to be done
out in society and aren't going to be
done by business or government."
