A portrait of an unimpres-
sive, cool and relaxed hi-
jacker was sketched by pas-
'sengers last evening ac the
Seattle-Tacoma Airport as
they tried to recall the seat-
mate who held them more
than three hours for $200,000
ransom.
As a Northwest Orient Air-
Hnes stewardess handied the
: Soniplicated instructions of
jthe hijacker, only other
flight-crew members knew

mite their 727 from the sky.

' "Never said anything."
"Didn't notice him until
we were getting off."
"Middle-aged and

Passengers talked, read,
napped and stared out 'the
window as the busy drama
unfolded of collecting the
ransom, cordoning the air-
port, . locating parachutes
and preparing to secure a

runway area for refueling
and exchanging cash for pas-
sengers.

Two of the debarking pas-
sengers, however, were ea-
ger to professionally deal
with their abductor. They
were Larry Finegold, assist-
ant United States attorney
for Western Washington, and
Richard Simmons, head of
Job Therapy, a prisoner-re-
habilitation program.

"T hope we'll have a quick
prosecution of this case,"

' said Finegold, who was re-

turning from Vancouver,
Wash., where he has been
representing federal govern-
ment personnel in the $2.1
million civil lawsuit against
San Francisco Mayor Joseph
Alfoto,

"Yl take care of him when ~

Said, "We've never had one
(a hijacker) before, but
we've helped every other
type. of criminal." .

"Tt wasn't until the money
was being handed over that I
thought of being hijacked,"
Finegold said.

"When they brought the
money and parachutes
aboard, we realized what
had happened," said Bill
MacPherson, Seattle real-es-
tate executive.

SIMMONS DEFENDED
the crew's decision to lie to
the passengers as necessary
to keep the passengers from
getting alarmed and upset-
ting their abductor.

"I slept most of the time
we were up there,'"' Simmons
said.

Simmons' wife, Barbara,
also active in prisoner-reha-
bilitation, said she first
thought they had gotten on
the wrong flight.

"First we went right past
Seattle, then Everett," Mrs.
Simmons said. "All E could
think of was the plane was
going to Vancouver and we
were on the wrong flight."

"Our concem now is for
the people {crew} who
stayed aboard," Mrs. Sim-
mons said,

William Mitchell, 20, Red- |

mond, said he sat across the
aisle from the hijacker and
didn't realize what was hap-
pening as the man issued his
demands to the stewardess. _

"He didn't move when we
left the plane," Mitchell
said.

Robert B. Gregor, Sumner,
said he paid no attention to
the man during the flight,
but took a look at him as the
passengers left the plane,

VYould 'D. B-Cooper' try-it

age iT] o——-Anti-skyjacking measures costly,

—_

buf cre-paying off

ITH thearrivat of spring there-are-waoffi-

cial reports that Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation agents have resumed their search of
Southwest Washington _for some trace of "D. B.{-
Cooper."

Law-enforcernent and aviation-industry' offi-
cials are pretty well convinced that "Cooper"
has been dead in a tree in the densely wooded ;
Lewis River-Lake Merwin country since his ,
$206,000 Thanksgiving Eve skyjacking in 1971.
They think "Cooper" perished in his parachwe °
jump from a commandeered Boeing 727 en route
from Seattle fo Reno, - oat

Whether or not the mystery of "D. B. Coop-
er" is ever solved, his status as something of 2
folk hero is likely to diminish when air travelers
begin to face up to the extra costs the likes of
"D, B. Cooper" have imposed on them:

THE AVIATION INDUSTRY has estimated,
that the new anti-skyjacking security measures,
implemented last month in airports around the.
nation will cost up te $153 million a year.

Under the administration's plan, now in ef-
fect, the costs of the added security measures _
are being borne by the airports and airlines,
which they in turn probably will pass on to air:
travelers. ; . .

Most of the major carriers already have
asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to authorize
modest fare increases, ,

A strong bipartisan bloc in Congress wants
Uncle Sam, instead, to pick up the tab. Either
way, of course; the public pays. ,

THE ARGUMENT OVER skyjacking controls
does not énd with the cost factor. Congressional
opponents of the administration's local-responsi- *
bility plan believe a federal force of armed
guards, especially trained for airport duty,
would provide superior security.

"I do not regard skyjacking as a 'local'
crime," says the Senate minority leader, Hugh
scott, in a rare break with President Nixon's
views. "Nor do 1 feel that local law-enforcement
officials have either the manpower or the exper-
tise necessary 'tg handle sach a difficult and
delicate Soeration." cnanecirenaemty

The FBI has been in the past going on the theory ~

Cooperis-dead, having been killed during his dramatic

plunge from the low-flying 727 jet possibly in Southwest .

Washington, where major search efforts have centered.

Previous theories about how the hijacker got the
name of D.B. Cooper were mainly that he may have
selected it at random from the telephone directory in
Portland, where he boarded his dream flight Thanks-
giving afternoon, 1971.

There was, and still is, a Dan Cooper listed in the
Portland book. There wasn't, and still isn't, a D.B.
Cooper listed. (Seattle's 1971 directory had one Dan and
_two D.B.'s.)

Cooper, who at 3:22 p.m on Northwest Orient Air-

lines flight No. 305 en route to Seattle, pulled-out a -
supposedly bomb-rigged briefcase, demanded $260,000 ~.
ransom for the 36 passengers and' went on to become a -

folk hero in absentia — inspiring D.B. Cooper 'T-shirts

and a ballad: even — is now described by the FBI as.

speaking: °

"LOW... intelligently (with) no ' particitlar. accent,

possibly from the: Midwest section of the _United
States."

The FBI also says "he was 'cyery polite at all
times,' as anyone 'with, a. bomb and a $200, 00 gift
might be. .

Federal agents also now 'are Yooking for a new
Cooper that is at least an inch shorter than the pre-
viously reported height of 6-1; he's now 5-10 to 6-0.

Dan.
Who?

From Page A-i

1 (Payne once starred in a move with actor Ben Cooper,
and remember, you read it here first.)

Dan Cooper has more hair than D.B., the hairline
starting farther down the forehead. The hair is combed
differently, from the front swept back neatly to the
right. D.B.'s hair was thin, curly, and was seemingly
finger-combed straight across like a slightly balding
bank feller. ,

The new Cooper has a Wider, thinner mouth, turned
down more prominently at the corners.

His cheek lines are deeper, the chin rounder, the
forehead broader and creased slightly and, unlike D.B.,
Dan Cooper appears in new FBI sketches with AND

' without the infamous wrap-aroind sun glasses, reveal-
ing "possibly brown" eyes.
The FBI in Seattle won't talk about the new Coop-
_er, or why one alias was replaced with another, if that
is in fact true, and why suddenly there is, in effect, a
* new suspect in the world's first successful skyjacking.

"If you want to write a news' story about it," said
an FBI spokesman, "then I have no comment."

The FBI has been in the past going on the theory
Cooper is dead, having been killed during his dramatic

, plunge from the low-flying. 727 jet possibly in Southwest
~ Washington, where major search efforts have centered.
Previous theories about how the hijacker got the
name of D.B. Cooper were mainly that he may have

selected it at random from the telephone directory in
nm Cn ' Portland, where he hoarded his dream flight Thanks-

giving afternoon, 1971.
, There was, and still is, a Dan Cooper Hsted in the
Portland book. There wasn't, and still isn't, a D.B.
Cooper listed. (Seattle's 1971 directory had one Dan and
two D.B.'s.) .
* Cooper, who at 3:22 p.m..on Northwest Orient Air-
'lines flight No. 305 en route to Seattle, pulled out 2
supposedly bomb-rigged briefease; demanded $200,006
ransom for the 36 passengers and went on to become a
folk hero in absentia — inspiring D.B. Cooper T-shirts
and a ballad even — is now described by the FBI as
- speaking: ; Cot
"Low .. . intelligently (with) no particular accent,
possibly from the Midwest section of the United
States." : .
. The FBI also says he was "very polite at all
times," as anyone with a bomb and a $200,000 gift
. might be. .

Federal agents also now are looking for a new
Cooper that is at least an inch shorter than the pre-
viously reported height of 6-1; he's now 5-16 to 6-0.

Some similiarities between D.B. and Dan remain
—- age in the middie 40's, white, male, complexion of

. "Olive, Latin appearance, medium smooth," and he is,
,or was, a "heavy smoker of Raleigh filter-tip ciga-
rettes," the ones with the bonus coupons.

The Crime

A lone white male using the name
Dan Cooper boarded Northwest
Orient Airlines Flight No. 305 at
Portland, Qreg., on November 24,
1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m.,
while the flight was en route to Seat-
tle, Wash., he indicated to a stew-
ardess that his briefcase 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, Northwest Orient
Airlines complied with his instruc-
tions. After he received the parachutes
and money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two of the 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 hi-
jacker instructed that the plane pro-
ceed in a southerly direction and fly at

a Jow altitude and slow speed which ony), Yi &y Ve Seb. Pp a

legend grows

aaa

Soft breezes brush the fir and hemlock
along the Lewis River dividing Clark and
Cowlitz Counties in what, natives say, has
"been the loveliest autumn in years."

Bright Jeaves spiral down and an occa-
sional cone chunks into the leafy under-
growth.

But, alas. Nary a D. B. Cooper $20 bill.

So now, on the anniversary of the first
parachute-skyjacking, D. B. Cooper grows
larger than life in lore and legend in the
area. But what actually may have happened
to him is as much a mystery as ever.

"About the best we can do in the way of
Cooper bills," said Anna Friday of Ariel,

"are some reasonable facsimiles, The Oaks
Restaurant has printed its Thanksgiving
menu on them.as a sort of anniversary me-
mento, Cooper and Thanksgiving all in one."

IF WAS a misty, cloudy, miserable
Thanksgiving Eve when Cooper, cbviously
an alias, jumped from a Northwest Orient
Airlines 727, $200,000 in $20 bills attached to
his person.

Along with the ransom, he had asked for
four parachutes and lemanded that the pire

be tihun at 20,000 tel and 260 miles an flour:
When the 727 landed at Reno, Cooper,. the
money and one of the parachutes' Were gone,
The Ariel-La Center-Woodland area has-been
fixed as the most probable spot of his drop. .
'Around here,'

came after, But Cooper never hurt. anybody
— a Little Boy Blue, or Little Lord Fauntle-
roy by comparison.

' "So, even though people here | are in full
accord that something must be done about

skyjacking, most of us have adopted Cooper
as a sort of folk hero.

"Most of us think he got away with it and
ra pet omen.

most hope he did."

said Mrs. Friday, a writ-
er on The Lewis River News, ''people de-:

NONE OF the Cooper money has turned
up. This could mean that Cooper still is lying
low or that in his drop to earth "the screwed
himself into the ground up to the elbows."

If it's the latter, no clues have beetrfound.

for a beer and chat about it with me," said
. Germaine Tricoja.
Mrs. Tricola operates the 'Ariel general
store and tavern, a favorite gathering place
for Cooper gossips from near r and far.

"NEWSMEN STILL come e around once in
awhile," said Mrs. Friday. "That's fine with
me. They always seem to mehtion my little

book and we've had to start printing another '

thousand copies."

Mrs. Friday wrote a Cooper skyjacking
spoof titled "Skyjackers Guide—Or Please
Hold This Bomb While I Go, to the Bath-
room."

(Cooper puiled off his stunt with what he

said was a bomb.) °
There are a few indefatigable amateur
Cooper hunters, .

LOS ANGELES — 'What
happens to peopie Is news.
What happens to reporters
ist't,"* a cigarchewing Bos-
ton city editor used to shout
at reporters who turned in
first-person accounts of
events they had witnessed.

But what happens if the re-
porter: is {A} the steuth who
solved one of the most publi-
cized crimes in recent histo-"
ry, or (8) the victim of the
clevexest hoax since Clifford
Irving's bogus autobtogra-
phy of Howard Hughes, or
{C)} both? :

LA, @ new weekly newspa-
per serving the Los Angeles
area, has just concluded a
three-installnient series re-
counting the "sojution' 'of
the successful $260,096 hi-
jacking of a Northwest Qri-
er Airlines. jet November

-

Only at the end of the se-
ries did LA tell its readers

that the whole account was

an apparent hoax that cost
the paper's backers $30,000.

Kari Fleming, LA's editor,
says he chose to tell the sto-
ry in a way that some read-
ers found misleading in or-
der to let them vicariously
undergo the sanve experience
he did. Without realizing it,
they were reading a story
about Fleming, not simoly
by him.

THE FIRST installment

| fold of D, B. Cooper ('fan or-

dinary, God-fearing, patriot
ic, country clio-oriented, up-
ward-climbing WASP engi

heels on

reau chief and contributing ~

editor with Newsweek for li
yeats), went on to describe
avery detail of Cooper's hi-
jacking, in an article that

ran some 4,080 words and -

took five pages of the: tab-

foid, net counting a cover'

photo and a iast-page teaser
for the next'installment.
'One illustration showed

Kerox copies of three $20°

bills given to. Fleming as
proaf of Coopes's identity;
their serial rumbers
matched those on the Feder-
al Bureau of Investigation's
Hst af bills that made up the
ratisem paid by the airline.
The: second piece de-

s¢rihed how Fleming got the.

story. While stiif on News-

week's staff, he put a classi-:

fied ad in newspapers
around Oregon and Washing~
ton, asking Cooper to contact
him.

Later, while Fleming and

Max Palevsky, millionaire,

were organizing LA, an in-
termediary offered to put the
newsman in contact with
Cooper — for $38,000, Paley-
sky put up the money and
Fleming fiew up to meet
Cooper, taking along two
tape recorders, a motion-pic-
ture camera, fvo camera-
mon and $30,000 in cash,

THE HEADLINE on the
third and final instaliment

read: "Is D. GB. Cooper the -

reat D. B. Cooper?" There is
considerable reason for
duubl, since Hit Wiss who po

tice say talked to Fleming — -

and who reportedly tock his
$36,000 — have been arrested
by the #. 7. Eon charges of
defrauding Idessing of" his
money.

eed

The arrpst taok, place of
May 2, long before Fleming
wrote his story for LA.

Why did Fleming publish
the story in a manner that
led some readers, unaware
of the fraud arrest, to be-
lieve that the early install

_ ments were the real thing?

Fleming doesn't feel that
the initial installment was
deceptive, noting that "there
were disclaimers in it," re-
ferring to two lines neax the
end: "The foregoing narra-
tive was related te me by
the mat I believed to be
Cooper. . 2" and, "Doubts
about whether } had the
right man would arise later

bad

""T wanted the reader to
- experience it just exactly as
1 did,' Fieming says. "It's
an adventure story, as mucit
' about me as about D. B.
- Cooper, and I wanted to put
the reader in my shoes. If
_ the reader was reasonably
alert, he would have seen in
the press that these guys
had been busted by the
FP. BE"

IF THE MAN Fleming in-
terviewed was not D. B.
Cooper — and Fleming isn't

totally sure he was not the.

hijacker —- then he was a
masterful con man, to hear
Fleming tetf it.

"y gave him the whole
$30,000 at cur first meeting,
after I wags convinced that

_this was D. B. Cooper,"
Fleming says. "At hat paint

Leryiews, ~30 minutes of
filmed interviews and still
photcgvaphs,

"His intermediary signed a
contract (saying the $36,000
would be used for Cooper's
legal defense) with his real
name and left his fingerprints
all over the contract."

The story was ta have been

in the opening issue of LA.
To avoid charges of aiding a
fugitive from jujstice, Flem-
ing turned his material over
to the F.B.1, 10 days before
publication, {He had told
Cosper not to tell him any-
ing he didn't want the police
to know.)

Included were Xerox copies
of the $20 bills Fleming had

" been shown as proof of Coop-
er's identity. The seria? num
bers matched those om the
list of ransom bills, but F.B.E.
documents experts said that
the phota-copies indicated
that the bills were counter-
feit.

With all the information

Fleming's subjects had sup-
plied, the F.B.L. had no trou-
bie rounding them up.
_ he meeting with Flem-
mg, according to police re-
ports, took place at the
Swept Wing Inn near the
Seattle-Tacoma Airport.)

WITH THE trial scheduled
to begin Noventber 27, Flem-
ing ays he still finds it "'dif-

ficult to accept" the possibil-
ity that he was duped.

"I asked that guy ques-
tions we con man could have
'prepared for," he says. "2

went over him like a vacuum'

cleaner.''

"Um not saying that the F.
B. 3, was wrong," he said,
"and T would never suggest
that they would deliberately
distort the facts — though if
I, one lonely reporter, could
get the story when 8,600 F.
B. IT. agents coulds't, then
that's not the kind of publici-
ty that J. Edgar Hoover,
then alive, would want for
the F,.B, 1"

Noting that "Cooper" was
aware the information would
be published and get to the
police, Fleming said, "'it is
very, very difficult for me to
accept the fact that a mind
brithant enough to concoct a
story as sophisticated as the
one this guy told me would

-be stupid enough to turn

around and expose himself
to capture this way."

"I don't exclude the possi-
bility that he was both sniart
enough to pull off the hijack-
ing, sel} me the story and
spread encugh false clues in
the story so it would not look
right and the F. B, L would

. Say he isn't the hijacker,"

Fleming said. "So, if he does
do any time, it's for fraud,
not for hijacking. And- when
he comes out, the $200,000 is
still there."

IN THAT CASE, of course,
Fjeming's series would be a
true account of the hijack-
ing, as readers of Bart One
might have thought, not the

res

'account of how a reporter

got duped, as Part Three in-
dicates, or perhaps it would
be both.

Fleming may have some

lingering doubts about the
man he interviewed, but Pla-
typus Publications;-popiisher
of LA, appears fo have none,

Tt has filed a $30,960 civil

suit against the men arrest-

Rew 'ard offered for data
biding skyjacker capture

Hunters have been alerted to be on
the lookout. for game that's bigger than

'deer or elk—like money.

Still pressing the search for skyjacker
"D.3B. Cooper,'' the FBI has announced
that! the president of Northwest Orient
Airlines, Donald W. Nyrop, has author-
izedja reward of $25,000 to the finder of
evidence of the missing. skyjacker,, or,

15 per cent of thé $200,000 ransom
money the skyjacker is believed to have
parachuted with on Nov. 24, 1971.

"D.B. Cooper" was the name used by
a man who hijacked a Northwest Air-
lines jet last Thanksgiving Eve, got
$200,000 and four parachutes from the
airtine, and then apparently bailed out .
of the 'plane between Seattle and Reno,
Nev.

The FBI has indicated the belief that
the man parachuted in the area north
of the North Fork Lewis River and south
of the Kalama River. .

J. E. Milnes, special agent in charge
of the FBI at Seattle, has specifically
advised travelers, hunters and others in
the forested area northeast of Woodland
to watch for the remains of a man, pos-
sibly dead for about a year. Other want-
ed evidence is remnants of a parachute,
harness or parachute shroud lines; a
deteroirated raincoat or overcoat; and
a small briefcase or attache case.

The money consisted of 10,000 twenty-
dollar bills wrapped in a parachute
canopy. Al) serial numbers are known
and can be identified. .

Persons discovering evidence of e
skyjacker¢ are requested to call !
FBI in Seattle collect. The number
is (ode 206, MA 2-0460. (

FBI's $ Search for Parachuting

Skyjacker

——

ee oe eee

Merwin Are"

PP&L's Merwin Park could have pasted
for a mini-military base last month when
the FBI and the U.S. Army moved in'to
resume the search for the mysterious "D3B.
'Cooper" who hijacked a Northwest Airlines
727 last November, demanded $200,000 in
ransom and parachuted with the money
into the rainy night—most likely as the
plane was over the Lake Merwin area.

The area was pinpointed by the FBI
based on the position of the plane when the
crew last spoke to the skyjacker over the
plane's phone approximately two miles east
of Woodland. Winds between 25 and 40
miles per hour were taken. into account in
determining that the hijacker could have
drifted toward Lake Merwin.

A portion of the Company's property and
surrounding area on the Lewis River in

thwestern Washington was searched fol-
lowing the skyjacking but the November
wéather hindered the operation. i

hen in March, four months after the

, * event, the FBI contacted Pacific wanti

4 renew the search of the rugged, wood
téxrain and use Merwin Park as its hea
quarters. Two weeks later 200 men, ning
helicopters and the support facilities need-
ed to maintain the men and machines of
the squadron from Ft. Lewis moved into
the Company's recreational] facility to assist
in the air and ground search.
The resumption of the search, although
what prompted it was not made public, was
: coordinated with PP&L personnel. Tom
i Selliken, assistant vice president in charge
of insurance and security, along with Larry
Ouzts, loss prevention engineer; G. Eldon
Drennan, vice president of engineering and

. power operations; Stan Piper, division pow-
'er superintendent; and Joe Nichols, man-
'ager of public affairs, met with the FBI

to help determine measures that wou

insure the security of PP&I's hydroelectric

RE: SUB B —- NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS' AND

SUB VW — WITHOUT ENCLOSURE

Enclosed to this memo is a copy of a story that appeared
in the June issue of Mobster Times entitled, "Skyjacking: The
Plane Story of D. B. Cooper." It is noted much of the infor-
mation contained in the article is erroneous but two statements
were of interest and there are quoted for information purposes
as follows: "He had chosen a 727 hecause the 727 is the only
Kind of commercial jet from which it is safe to parachute."

"He who steals a plane and $200,000 and leaps out into the
night sky is a hero."

FBI's Search for Parachuting Skyjacker
No Picnic Around PP&L's Merwin Area

PP&L's Merwin Park could have passed
for a mini-military base last month when
the FBI and the U.S. Army moved in to
resume the search for the mysterious ""D.B.
Cooper" who hijacked a Northwest Airlines
727 last November, demanded $200,000 in
yarsom and parachuted with the money
into the rainy night—most likely as the
plane was over the Lake Merwin area.

The area was pinpointed by the FBI
based on the position of the plane when the
crew last spoke to the skyjacker over the
plane's phone approximately two miles east
of Woodland. Winds between 25 and 40
miles per hour were taken into account in
determining that the hijacker could have
drifted toward Lake Merwin.

A portion of the Company's property and
surrounding area on the Lewis River in
southwestern Washington was searched fol-
lowing the skyjacking but the November
weather hindered the operation.

Tien in March, four months after the

—

event, the FBI contacted Pacific wanting
to renew the search of the rugged, wooded
terrain and use Merwin Park as its head-
quarters. Two weeks later 200 men, nine
helicopters and the support facilities need-
ed to maintain the men and machines of
the squadron from Ft. Lewis moved into
the Company's recreational facility to assist
in the air and ground search.

The resumption of the search, although
what prompted it was not made public, was
coordinated with PP&L personnel. Tom
Setliken, assistant vice president in charge
of insurance and security, along with Larry
Ouzts, loss prevention engineer; G. Eldon
Drennan, vice president of engineering and
power operations; Stan Piper, division pow-
er superintendent; and Joe Nichols, man-
ager of public affairs, met:with the FBI
to help determine measures that would
insure the security of PP&L's hydroelectric
dam and property.

Normally open to the public, the park

was closed during the search to guard
against crowds of curious people on the
grounds,

The command post for the operation
where FBI agents coordinated men and
helicopters was set up in one of the Com-
pany buildings at the site. The troops were
bivouacked in the adjoining park area
which also served as a helicopter pad.

The man who boarded the plane in Port-
land as "1D.B- Cooper" literally vanished
into the air that November night and as
this issue went to press nothing new had
been unearthed in the recent search.

This fact, coupled with a popular theory
that the skyjacker ended up entangled
in a tree in below-freezing weather and
never made it any farther, may make look-
ing for "D.B. Cooper" and the $200,000
ransom a recreational fad on the Lewis
River this summer.

'Cooper' Swindle Charged

Here;

=== BY CRAIG SMITH ~—__, |

Two Kitsap County men were arrested
yesterday and charged in federal court
with scheming to swindle a former News-

week contributing editor out of $45,000 in ©

return for an "exclusive interview" with

airline skyjacker "D. B, Cooper."
Arrested and held in King County Jail

following a bail hearing were William

John Lewis, 32, of Seavue Estates, Sea- |

beck, also known as Jack Lewis, and Don-

ald Sylvester Murphy, 49, of 540-4th Ave.,

Bremerton.

U.S. Attorney Stan' Pitkin said during

the bail hearing he believes the two men
have $36,300 obtained from Karl Payne
Figming, the former Newsweek edi{or,

got the money from Platypus Publica-

'|

tibns, Inc., of Los Angeles. An affidavit by
FBI Agent Charles E, Farrell said $18,000
was to be paid when Fleming was con-
vinced he was talking to the hijacker,
$15,000 to be paid after the inverviews and
a final $15,000 after publication of the
story. :

_' The complaint said Fleming gave Lew-
is $300 for expenses. .

The complaint said Fleming conducted
interviews with Murphy, who was dis-
guised as "Cooper," on Feb. 22 and 23.
According ta the complaint, the sound
man and cameraman recording the inter-
view Feb. 23 at a Seattle-area beach had
to work from "an extreme distance while
wearing earplugs" to give "added credi-
biity-terthe fraudulent scheme."

rs

. -D.B. Cooper" is the namewrsetChy a"

skyjacker who extorted $200,600 from
Northwest Airlines, then apparently bailed
out with his money after the plane left Se-
attle en route to Reno last Thanksgiving
eve. "Cooper" has not been arrested,

Pitkin said Newsweek was nof a party
io the interview agreement and that
Fleming is no longer employed by the
magazine.

Bail for Lewis has been set at $50,000,
$5,000 of which must be posted in a cash-
ier's check and the remainder in a proper-
ty-bond agreement to be signed by his
wife and parents. Murphy, who- told

Magistrate Charles Schaaf that he ve

babkrupt two yedrs- ago," ts required to
post an $8,000 cashier's check or "suffi-.
cient sureties." . .
The complaint said the scheme started
after Fleming placed a classified adver.

tisement eb. 1 seeking a confidential in-
terview with "Cooper,"

The complaint says Fleming flew to Se-
atfie, and on Feb. 16 met Murphy whe was
disguised as "Cooper" at
tel.

On Feb. 21 according to the govern-
ment, copies of three $20 bills said to have.
been taken in the hijacking were shown to
Fleming. In the complaint, the goyern-
ment said the bilis in the copy were phon-
ies because serial numbers of hijack mon-
ey had been superimposed.

The government claims that on the
same day Fleming paid $30,000 to Lewis,
who was acting as the go-between using
the name "Seth Thomas,"' and that on the
nex} slay, the interviews began. »— 7"

2-charged here with =~
'D.B. Cooper' hoax |

By DEE NORTON

Two Kitsap County men
were charged today with de-
frauding a former represent-
ative of a national news
magazine of $30,000 by set-
ting up a phony interview
with "D. B. Cooper, " air-
plane hijacker.

Arrested were William
John Lewis, Bremerton
dance-hali manager, and
Denaid Sylvester Murphy,
Silverdale real-estate sales-
man,

They were accused of con-
spiring to use interstate com-
merce to obtain $36,800 from
Platypus Publications, Inc.,
Los Angeles, by having Mur-
phy pose as Cooper in meet~
ings with Karl Fleming, who
then was a contributing edi-
tor in Los Angeles for News-
week magazine.

Lewis, who also works as
a freelance engineer and
land developer, telephoned
Fleming February 1 in re-
sponse fo an advertisement
in The Times placed by
Fleming seeking information
about Cooper, the complaint
said.

Lewis told Fleming hehad
talked with Cooper, knew his
true identity and could ar-

nge an Interview, accord-
Rig to the government.

A man using the name "D,

Cooper," hija"ked a North-

west Orient Airlines 727 and
its 36 passengers and collect-
ed $200,000 ransom last No-
vember 24. The man para-
chuted from the plane.
Lewis and Murphy super-

Ymposed the seriai numbers

of $20 bills given Cooper on
other bills and gave Fleming
copies of them to convince
him that Murphy was' Coop-
er, the complaint said.

The complaint said Mur-
phy dressed like an artist's
sketch of Cooper, using a
wig and glasses, to be pho-
tographed by Lewis. The
photographs were given
Fleming to support the
fraud, the complaint said,

Lewis and Murphy met
Fleming February 16 at the
Swept Wing Inn neay the
Seattle-Tacoma Airport, the
complaint added. It said
Lewis used the name "Seth
Thomas" and introduced
Murphy to Fleming as Coop-
er and demanded $45,000.

The defendants agreed to
setile for $30,008, however,
according to the government.
On February 22 and 23 Mur-
phy posed as Cooper and
submitted to an interview
filmed on a beach in King
County and confessed the hi-
jacking, the conplaint said.

Platypus Publications pre-
vided Fleming with ¢° he

money after Newsweek re-
jected Lewis' story, the com-
plaint said.

Lewis'
been found on two receipts
Lewis gave Fleming after
getting the money, the com-
plaint said.

An exhibit attached to the
complaint said Lewis had
agreed that the $30,000 was
to be used only for legal de-
fense for Cooper; when he
was apprehended or sur-
rendered.

Stan Pitkin, United States
atterney for Western Wash-
ington, would not comment
when asked if the informa-

Army men last week ended
an 18-day ground search of a

which it was believed the hi-
jacker might have parachut-

On D. B. Cooper" Case'

By DENISE. KALETTE
Sun Staff Writer

William "Jack" Lewis, who
has been repeatedly questioned
by the FBI in connection with
a federal investigation of the,
"D. B. Cooper" -hijacking case,
said today that his "whole sup-
position remains, the samc."

"But," Lewis- added, "there's
"NO. "way" in the world, I' i be able

"to contact this guy" 'at 'the' pres: {

ent.:

- Lewis said he feels 'he "may
know who the hijacker is, "but
I've git no proof and until I
have proof I cant - "namie any-
body." " .

That hijacking of a " Boeing
727 took place Nov. 24 and net-
ted a skyjacker $200,000. The
skyjacker parachuted from the
plane after it took off from Se-
attle, headed:toward Reno.

Lewis said he would be sitting _

in the office of 'hig attorney,
Curtis Coons, at 9:30 a.m, Mon-
day." -*
Coons has been in Califortia,
and 'he has not been in contact:
with him recentiy, he said.

"When he géts back to lis
office, I Will sit-down and try
to explain the whole 'thing 'to
him," Lewis said. "I don't real-
ly know what to do until Y talk |
to' my sattorney."" ©

Lewis, who has been in con-
{tact with other news media this

week, said he is "talkirje to the
aie. because . "I went them

He said FBI officiats "went

of his, also, Lewis said. "

He said the Seattle business-
man questioned this week was
a friend of his. "They drug him

Speaking to The Sun by telephone, Lewis
acknowledged that his telephone might be '
wiretapped.

"mented, ' He -said. telephone officials didn't

FBI meves fast on hijackers

Quick apprehension of the suspects in two back-
to-back airplane hijackings over the weekend is new

_ confirmation of the continuing effectiveness of the -
- Federal Bureau of Investigation. Likewise, yester-
day's thwarting ofa half-hearted amateurish at-'

tempt at the Portland airport.

More than that, it is a gratifying demonstration
that pirating' a 'plane and jeopardizing the lives of
passengers and crew in order to extort money does

_ not-pay, D: B. Cooper notwithstanding.

+ Cooper remains the only fugitive who has frus-
trated federal agents. And none of the money he

extorted has turned up. There is no evidence that

he survived to spend it, but the fact that neither he

nor his body has been found doubtless inspired imi-
_tators who used the same techniques. Hopefully,

their failure will discourage others who now should
realize that the odds are long against them

Thought is being given in

In any event, good law-en-

Boely of woman found where-

troops hunt 'D. B. Cooper'

Authorities were attempt-
ing today to identify the
body of a young woman
found yesterday in the Clark
County area where an inten-
sive search is being conduct-
ed for the parachuting jet hi-
jacker known as D. B. Coop-
er,

Initially the discovery of
the body touched off rumors
the hijacker had been found.

The Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation, aided by Fort
Lewis troops and Army heli-
copters, have been searching
the area for the body or
traces of the hijacker of a
Northwest Orient -Airlines
721 who escaped with
$206,000 last November 24,

While 200 troops have been .

"used to comb the surround-
ing area, the woman's body
was found by two women
looking for old bottles at the
historic Grist Mili northeast
of Woodtand. The body was

at the bottom of a 20-foot

shaft in the old mill.

: woman, in her midio
stab wound in the heart. He

estimated she had been dead

three weeks or longer.

Dental casts were made to
aid in identification.

Clark County Sheriff Eu-
gene Cotten said he had no
reports of missing persons
whose description would
match the body.

The body was partially dis-
robed when discovered, The
girl had been wearing blue
jeans and a sweatshirt.

The Grist Mill is near

The F. B. 1. believes the

Milnes denied that any
trace of the money has
been found.

Besides, he said, 'You
know we don't comment on
fiat,"

Individual soldiers in-
volved in the search said
they were looking for a
bundle of money, a para-
chute or a body.

Milnes would give no
reason for the timing of the
new search effort. He did
say that when he visited
the area three weeks ago
there was still snow on the
ground, That would make
it especially difficulé to
spot a parachute.

Irom the conduct of the
search, it appears hat au-
thorilies believe ''Cooper"
did not survive his 10,000-
foot leap from the rear exit
of the jetliner.

Experienced sport chu-
tists said, however, that it
could be 'done. The 727, in
fact, is considered the only
commercial jetliner from
which such a jump could
be made,

Crew members of the
plane, which was hijacked
on a flight from Portiand to
Seattle, said Cooper
seemed to know about the
727's capabilities.

He ordered the plane
flown at 200 miles per hour
and 10,000 feet — very slow
and very low for a jet.

When the plane landed in
Reno, "Cooper"? was gone,
as were two of four para-
chutes supplied to him by
authorities.

The pilot of the plane
said he detected a slight
change in the craft's atti-
tude as it flew over the
area of Cowlitz and Clark
counties on a standard Se-
aitle-to-Reno pattern.

And it is in that area
that the search will contin-
ue. Neither MiJnes nor the
Army would say for how
long.

Somewhere in the beauti-
ful Lewis River country,
they hope to find the earth-
ly remains of the man who
called himseif 'D. B. Coop-
er."

Seouring almost every
inch of ground, they may
fing some trace of the dar-
ing hijacker. .

That is, unless some-
treasure hunter sluntied

~"D. B. Cooper" Revisited

_: For those empty-headed 'enough to
glorify the Thanksgiving Eve skyjack-
ing of a Northwest Orient Airlines plane
by the infamous and probably pseu-
donymous D, B. Cooper, ample reason
for not doing so was provided on Christ-
mas Eve,

On another Northwest Orient flight,
from Minneapolis to. Chicago, another
skyjacker obviously attempted to pla-
giarize D. B. Cooper's script,

The Christmas Eve bandit, armed
with a pistol and claiming to carry sev-
en sticks of dynamite, threatened to
blow up a Boeing 707 unless he was
Riven $300,000 and parachutes.

j The Christmas Eve skyjacker, how-
iver, lacked his predecessor's finesse.
He got his money and his parachutes

'

RTS AIT ALI ROT TET RM
: .

but he was Jeft without a pilot to fly
him away from Chicago's O'Hare. Air-
port, where he was apprehended.

The point is that D. B. Cooper's esca-
pade clearly was the inspiration for the
attempted robbery, which endangered
the lives of the 34 persons aboard the

jetiiner. Lord knows how many more:

jarcenous and or addle-brained individ-
uals may be mulling over similar plots.

AS FOR PHE notorious D.B. Cooper,
who disappeared with $200,000 from a
Boeing 727 between here and Reno,
Nev., we predict he eventually will be
captured, if his remains aren't impaled
on an isolated pine tree somewhere in
the western wilds, and his hero-woi-
shipers made to see the folly of theijr
admiration. a. "f.

"Only 14, Months To Live'

LOS ANGELES -- (UPI} -—- A letter
purportedly written by fugitive hijacker
"D. B. Cooper" claims he parachuted into
the night with $200,000 to buy peace of
mind because he has only 14 months to
live, the Los Angeles Times said yester-

ay,

The, letter-writer said he lived a life of
hate and is not a hero.

A number of letters, 'supposedly from
"Cooper," have been received by newspa-
pers throughout the West in recent weeks.
It is not known if any are genuinely from
the man who hijacked a Northwest Orient
727 Nov. 24, claiming to have a bomb.

He collected the ransom and parachuted
out the rear door with it between Seattle
and Reno, Nev.

The letter was mailed to the Los Angeles

jimes from Seattle Saturday and has heen

yrned over to the FBI, the paper said. It
atoted ihe letter:

} "I didn't rob Northwest Orient because

I ifhought it would be romantic, hereic or

any of the other euphemisms that seem to

attach themselves to situations of high
risks. ' . :

My

al Saale vate}

"J am no modern-day Robinhood.

"Unfortunately (I) do-have only °14
months to live.

"My life has heen one of hate, turmoil,
hunger and more hate. This seemed to be
the fastest and most profitable way to gain
a few grains of peace of mind.

"T don't blame people for hating me for
what I've done, nor do I blame anybody for
wanting me te be caught and punished,

though ihis can never happen."

The-letter. writer said he would never be
caught because he 'left no fingerprints,
wore a disguise, and employed other un-
specified means fo cover his trail.

He was wearing a toupee and putty
makeup at the time of the hijacking and
would be impossible fo recognize from the
composite picture drawn up by FBI artists
from the descriptions of witnesses, accord-
ing tothe letter.

- "Pye come and 'gone on several 'airline
flights and am not holed up in some oh-
Scure backwoods town," the letter says.- A

"Neither am I a psychopathic killer, A .
a matter of fact, I've never even recelv ey

Looks, hobby plague
seattle sky diver |

By DON HANNULA -

Put a pair of dark glasses on
Seattle's Bill Whitney and you've got
4 remarkable resemblance'to a com-
posite sketch of the Thanksgiving
Eve jet hijacker who parachuted
away with $200,000 ransom. .

Add the fact that Whitney is a co-
holder of the Northwest sky-jumping
altitude record at 30,000 feet and th
result is suspicion.

That suspicion by Whitney's sky-
diving acquaintances led to his being
questioned for 54 hours Thursday by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The look-alike problem has both-
ered Whitney, 3828 Whitman Ave. N.,
wha earns his living in the sound-
equipment business. :

'It's nice to be remembered, but
not this way," Whitney said. "'It
would he nice to look fike a movie
star or something, but not a guy who
pulled a job." . :

Whitney said: "I know a Jot of
jumpers up and down the coast. I
understand a lot of them fooked at
thai. sketch and thought of me. The

whole point is I didn't do it and 1.

don't need that kind of reputation,"

. WHILE WITNEY'S facial features
composite ~
sketch drawn from descriptions by .
witnesses, his height, weight, age and
complexion, didn't match those given -

resembled the F. B. J,

for the hijacker, ; i

Whitney is 5-feel-8 and about 140
pounds. Witnesses said the hijacker
was 6 feet and 175 pounds. They said
the hijacker had an olive complexion.
Whitney is fair-skinned. The hijacker

was described as middle-aged — be- .

tween 40 and 50. Whitney is 33 with
prematurely receding hair. ° .

After the hijacker showed a stew-
ardess what he said was a hoimb,
commandeered the Northwest Orient

Airlines 727 November 24, and re«-

leased the passengers in Seattle for

$200,000 and four parachutes, he °
bailed out somewhere between Clark .

Countyand Reno, Nev.

{Corre emcee per

ae

Immediately the F. B. i. began
checking out anyone with parachut-
ing experiencé. on '

Whitney, who has, made some 300
jumps sincé taking up the sport in --
1965, said he first heard that he was _
being sought for questioning Thurs-:

ay.' re :
He said: "I heard the F. B. I. was'

looking for-me and f said: 'Oh, broth-

er.' I figured, rather 'than'have them
pick me up on the street or some-
where, I'd call them."' When he did,'
they said, yes, the F. B. 1. did want.
te talk to him. ce 8
"Tf £ had been guilty, I'd be in jail
right now," Whitney said. .
Whitney said a San Francisco

"newspaper reporter also flew to'

Seattle to interview him after a San
Francisco sky jumper told the report-
ers he was convinced Whitney was
the skyjacker, 2... ot

WHITNEY SAID his problems
were compounded by having few peo- |
ple fo verify where he was the:
Wednesday. of the- hijacking. The:
bachelor said he drove to Bellingham _

'about 7:30 a. m, and spent some time

with this partner in-the sound-equip-
meht business, returning to the ,
Northeast Seattle home of his partner'
about noon. He said hig partner re:
turned about 6:30 or 7p. m. and sa
him at the home. He said he couldn't
recall anyone else seeing him. Whit+
ney said he spent Thanksgiving Day
at his parent's home in Tacoma.
"Another thing, I wear dark glass-
es a lot," Whitney said. The skyjack-
er was wearing dark glasses, .
Whitney is convinced the skyjacker
got away. He does not consider what.
the skyjacker was reported t@ have,
done as difficult. "— couid hayé done,
it, yes, but I-didn't," Whitney said. -
But: Whitney also -believés the hi-
jacker wil] be caught evenjyally ~
that he won't be able to. resist telling
some one sorhe day, Whitney said:

WOODLAND, Cowlitz
County — A light plane |
swept in"out of the Stormy
night and circled over' a
crude airstrip in the hills 10
miles east of here,

The weather was rainy-
and windy—no fit night for a
joy-riding pilot to be janding
on the bumpy, untighted hili-
top airstrip near a wooded
ravine. :

* Yet some' nearby residents
say 'that a smal! plane did

. Jand at a little after 8 p. m,

November' 24, at' the Same
time' arid 'in the same' area
where a hijacker is believed
fo. have parachuted from an
airliner with $200, 000 in $20
bills. Wy

, THE 'ACCOUNTS' "of. the

strange plane could explain
how the hijacker escaped a
thrée < day mabhunt, or at
Jeast how he had planned - to
escape if 'he' survived the
parachute jump." *

~ He could havé had an ac
complice' who flew in and
waited for him, or 'there
could have beeri'a third par-
ty in a car- who picked him
up and . brought him to the

plane.

Adding credetice 'to this
thedry is the fact that some-

have been a pre-hij ack

"+ scouting flight i in equally bad

weather.
Those who say they saw

_ the light plane on the night

of the hijacking have been
questioned several times by
F, B.. 1 agents, who also
combed the wooded ravine
near the airstrip' during the
manhunt last weekend, (The
F, B. I. in Seattle refused
comment today on the signif-
icance of the réports about
the small plane. Sheriff's of-
ficers referred all inquiries
to the F. B. I)

' THE AIRSTRIP is on
property owned by the Mc-
Clellan family. Mr and Mrs.
Robert M. McClellan, Jr.,
live in a new house at the
south end of the airstrip,
McClenmnan fornierly owned
a plane but sold it. His par-

ents five in an older house a

jittle farther from the land-
ing field, ,.

A flight recorder in the
commandeered' 'Northwest
Orient 727 indicated that the
hijacker opened the rear
door of the plane at 8:13 p.
m. Because of a slight lurch
of the plane, it was deduced
that he made the jump from
the lowered rear steps two
or thrée minutes Jater. *

Mr. and Mrs, Emil Neiger, :
who live just down the road
from- the 'MeClellan airstrip,.
said a plane had been cir-
cling the landing area most?
.of the afternoon.

'We were gone for a while
and came home about 8
o'clock," said Mrs. Neiger.
"{ was washing the dishes

when both. of us saw this-.

thought it was 'going to land

'Light Plane, Hijacker Linkell?

ee es

WOODLAND, Cowlitz County -— Three
women 'said yesterday they saw a Night: -plane Tand and.
ke off-at-a-small airstrip the night a hijacker para-
huted from a jetliner after receiving $200, 000.4 din ransom.
[ The FBI declined to comnient on the reports regard-
ng the Thanksgiving Eye aerial extortion.

None of the residents near the darkened McClellan
airstrip said they saw the plane close enough on the
dark, rainy and gusty night to give a detailed descrip-
tion, .

Mrs: Emil Neiger, who lives close to the airstrip,
said she got a good look at the low: flying aireratt but .
added, "All planes Iook alike to me."

Mrs. Melvin 'Anderson, who lives across the road
from the end of the strip, said she saw the light of the
plane as it came in for a landing, 'sitting on the field and
taking off. She said she was not sure how jong the plane
was down.

"J don't know whether it was over there an hour or
"how long," she said. "E didn't time it. I-couldn't see the
plane itself."

Mrs. Frank Distefano reported she was returning -
ome when she saw the plane fiying low in the storm, |

ay thought to myself, what's that nut doing up.in the'
ir on a night like this," she said. "It was a small plane
ut the engine sounded louder than a small plane's. i
remember a large red light on the tail."

Mrs, Distéfano said she believes she saw the same

aa mt

plane on 'the previous night circling a spot to the east |
near St. Helens, Wash.
She said the plane on the night of the hijacking was

in the area about 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., flewnorth, circled and

came back. She said she does not know where it went'
aiter that since it was raining and she was not watching

anymore,

The Federal Aviation Administration's flight 'control
center in Auburn, Wash., said there was no indication on
radar of a light plane near the hijacked Boeing 727 in the
southwest Washington area.

"Tf he was flying too low," a controller said, "w
wouldn't see it."

The hijacker paid cash io buy a ticket at the North-
west Airlines office at the Portland International Airport
and then about a half hour later boarded the 727. He
threatened the crew with a purported bomb, and after
obtaining $200,000 from the airline on the 7217's arrival at
Seattle- Tacoma Airport vanished from the ¢rait by para-
chuting out a back door on a flight to Reno, Nev.

The FBI has not ruled out the possibility of an ae-

see ay

complice in ihe case, but said it had no evidence 10»

substantiate that there had been more than one person
involved in the escapade.

The FBI conducted a search in the area around View!
| and Woodland, earlier on the basis of plane flight infor-'
-mation that the hijacker may have jumped near View.
The time of the jump was believed to have been 8: 13

p.m, on Nov, 24.

AR ne tite ot

r

eeing mo

otorist with"
cash not skyjacker,

po ice report

4 By DON HANNULA

pkagit County Sheriff John
Bi ynton said today officials
-are convinced there is no
connection between the
Thanksgiving Eve skyjacker
and a man arrested near
Mount Vernon last night with
a substantial amount of mon-
éy,"

Unofficial reports that the
man was carrying $435,000 in
foreign currency were erro-
neous,. State Patrol officials
said. The State Patrol was
the source of that informa-
tion,

They said they still had
not determined the value of
the foreign money but the to-
tal "is more like a few thou-
sand dollars."

THE CONFUSION
stemmed from 117 Brazilian
12,080 - Cruzeiro notes the
man was carrying. He told
them they were old Cruzei-

- ros, which made the 10,000
notes worth $1.40 each — or
a total of $163.80.

if the 10.006-Cruzeiro notes

d been new, they would be

$].400. That would
inke the total $163,800.

That possibility immedi-

ately gave rise to suspicions

the man might be connected
with the skyjacking| in
which $200,000 ransom was
paid. . }

SKAGIT COUNTY sheriff's
officials, after conferring

The whereabouts of "D, B.

jacker, remained an intrigu-
ing mystery today.

Some theories advanced
by law-enforcement officers:

he obtained from Northwest

evening at the Seattle-Taco-
'ma Airport. © *

| He may be hung up in a

He may be hiding in a cab-

May, Woodland's police
chief, who has been working
with Federal Bureal of In-'

The hijacker showed a ¢

stewardess a note saying he

' Despite the concern about
high crime rates and calls
for hard-line | jaw-and-order |
stands, many Seattleites yes-
terday revealed a subtle ad-
miration. for Wednesday's
mysterious airline hijacker. ~

Nobody denied the reality
of the crime, nor the poten-
tial for tragedy which exist-
ed. But, perhaps since no- -
body was hurt, the hijacker |
seemed to have evoked for |
himself some of the legends '
and memories of -past out- f
laws. of.

"It's kind: of a Robin Hood
thing," said Larry Kellas, an
assistant manager in a

' downtown department store. !
Asked how he reacted to the |
crime, he added: "He'll
probably be caught, and he'
should be. But it was still,'
pretty dramatic and spectac- °
ular.'" .

The crime may have been
unique, but the response was
not. Certain outlaws from
Robin Hood to Britain's
"Great Train Robbers" have
inadvertently captured the:
imagination of the common
man. ;

"We all like adventure sto- ;
ries," noted Dr. Otto Larsen,
professor of sdciology at the |
University of Wahington. ;
"That hijacker took the
greatest ultimate risk, He
showed rea! heroic features
— mystes-drama, romanti-

cism, a high degree of skill
and all.the necessities for
the perfect crime." '

"He was either very tal-

'ented or very crazy — or

both," said Mrs, Helen M.
MeNeely when asked for her
reaction. "A native of Illi-
nois, she recalled the infa-
mous gangster of the 1920s,
John Dillinger: =. as
"But Dillinger had. a real-
mean streak," she noted.

"This man (the " hijacker) "

fortunately didn't hurt any-
body and somehow _ that
seems to make a_ differ-
ence." " m
Some other reactions
drawn from downtown shop-
pers yesterday included:

The search for a White
parachute and the man who
wore it is scheduled to re-
sume. in Clark arid Cowlitz
Counties icday after three
days of trying to track down
the Thanksgiving Eve jet hi-
jacker.

Hopes were' kindled briefly
yesterday, then flickered,
when a white object seen
from fhe air was checked
and found. to be a plastic
canopy left by fishermen or
loggers.

Fog closed in and cut off
the air-and-ground - search
about 3 p. m, yesterday.

J. Earl Milnes, speciai
agent in charge of the
Seatile office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation,
said,- "Search efforts will

forts: zeroed in on a small
wooded area east of Wood-

jand,. Cowlitz County ~ a.

three-by-five-mile area south
of Merwin Lake.

'The F. B.-L said aircraft
would search the entire
route from Seattle to Reno
for the well-dressed, middle-
aged hijacker who parachut-
ed from a Northwest Orient

was ordered to the cockpit

man was gone. So was the

the "bomb" briefcase. The
crew expressed surprise that
the hijacker wasn't aboard

' THE F. B-L-agent-coordi-
nating the search, Thomas
'Manning, was strongly con-

vinced' the Woodland area
was the best bet for finding
a trace of the hijacker who
used the name D. B. Copper.
Manning said:

"We feel 'he's in this- area,

He added:

"We're concentrating our

'Hijacker
Hunt Near
Woodland

BY DICK CLEVER

The search for the skydiving hijacker of
a Northwest Airlines 727 jetliner was nat-
rowed yesterday to a five-mile corridor in
upper Clark' County, sources said.

Meanwiril e, The Post-Intelligencer
learned that one of the two parachutes ap-
parently used by the hijacker who escaped
avith $200,000 ransom was a non-functional
draining chute.

Linn Emrick, of Sky Sports, Inc.. said
he supplied the two chest pack parachutes
that were put onto the plane Wednesday al
Seattle-Tacoma Airport.

The hijacker, known as "D. B. Cooper" -

toithe FBI, had demanded the money nd
parachutes before releasing the 36 pastjen-
gers and two stewardesses. He comman-
deored the plane on a flight-from Portland
to Seattle.

Passengers and crewmen described the"
hijacker as in his mid-forties, with dark ;

hair, about é-feet-1, 175 pounds, wearing
a black business suit and dark glasses.
. They said he was "very coo .?

Atong with the two, chestpack chutes
from Sky Sports. located in Issaquah, the

~~

hijacker was provided with two backpack |
chutes by Norman Hayden, of Renton Avia-

tion.
The parachutes were obtained by North-
west Airlines officials, who also gat

$200,000 in cash from: several Sealtie banks ;

Wednesday afternoon.

Clark County Undersheriff Tom MeDow- |

eli sald the FRI was searching a five-mile ,

_eorridur a few miles southeast of Weod-
land, where a command port has been ¢s-
tablished.

MeDowell said the area pinpointed ter
the search was Baved-ow information given ,
, the FBI by Northwest Aivlines. Another"

Ree a Re - e e

source sas—zeore specific.
He said authorities believe
the hijacker bailed out of
the low-flying 727 at 8:13
p.m., a little over a half an
hour alter taking off from
Sea-Tac. --

The area outlined for a.
full-seale ground and air
search, which begins this
morning, is deseribed as
'swooded and rugged."

The hijacker boarded the
plane in Portland. When the
jetliner was airborne, he
showed a stewardess a
briefcase containing two
. red cylinders and wires and
said he would blow up the
plane unless his demands
were met. t

Departing from Sea-T4c
Wednesday night after ;a
tense, two-hour fueling 0j}+
ellation, the airliner flew
siinth along what aviation
alhthorities describe as @
standard "Victor 23" route
over Portland, the Willam-
eite Valley, Eugene, Kiam-
ath Falls and finally turned
southeast toward Reno, .

ev.

When the plane taxted to
a stop in Reno, the hijack-
er, the money, the briefcase,
and two parachutes were
gone.

Emrick said the missing
chestpack chute would not
have functioned had the hi-
jacker been forced to use it.

I went over and picked it

- for ground practice only.

However, it was also
learned by The P-I that the
type of backpack chute sup-
plied to the hijacker would
not accommodate a chest-
pack parachute.

Emrick explained that in
order to be able to use his
chestpacks, the Jumper
must havé-avo "D-rings" on.

' —P-I Photo by Pom Brownell?
LINN EMRICK OF SEATTLE SKY SPORTS, INC.

Held front-pack parachute of type given hijacker

the backpack harness to
which the cheslpack can be
attached.

The backpacks, obtained
from Renton Aviation did
not have these "D-rings."
Earl Cossey, 30, of Seattie,
who made the backpack
chutes, confirmed this.

Cossey said he made the
special chutes for emer-

gency use in aerobatic
flying. They do not have at-
tachments for chestpacks.
Authorities were unable
to explain the absence of
the unusable chestpack. But
Seattle area parachutists
said it was unlikely the hi-
jacker would have needed
Cossey also said the back-
pack chutes he made six
months ago had never been
unpacked and the hijacker
was the first fo use them.
He said he was confident
his chute "worked fine."
Northwest Airlines and
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration officials maintained

ry

silence on developments in .

the hijack case, saying only
that the FBI has ordered
the lid on ali sources of in-
formation but itself. But the
FBI was doing litile talking.

Captain Bili Scott, the pi-
lot of the airliner, and the
remainder of his crew were
flown to Minneapolis yester-
day for a late, but no doubt

meaningful, Thanksgiving --

with their families.

ANorthwest Airlines :

spokesman in Minneapolis,
headquarters for the line,
said the crew would be in-
terviewed by FBI investiga-
tors sometime today. Nei-

ther the airline nor the .

erew would make any pub-"
lic statements until cleared
by the FBI, the spokesman
said. .

Law enforcement authori-
ties believe the hijacker
was a man with a thorough
knowledge of aviation, and
parachuting and that he had
plotted his daring scheme
carefully in advance.

The hijacker's choice of a

_ 727 was a wise one, Boeing

officials said, since the rear
exit is behind and under the
engines.

It was also reasoned by
some authorities that the.
hijacker asked for tore
than one parachute in order
40 create the impression he
would force a stewardess to
jump with him, Thus, au-
thorities would provide

are agreed that it is entire-

Cossey, who made" the
chute upon which the hi-
jacker's life would depend,
expressed in fact, some ad-
miration for the skydivin
robber. .
- But he and other chutists
~expressed doubts that the
hijacker could have held
anything in his hands dur-
ing the jump. ° .

"He would have had fo

_ tuck the money someplace
or he would lose it," Cossey
said. '

The chutist also said the
hijacker could ''free-fall"
for as long as 40 seconds if

he had jumped from an alti-

Hija ne's ot "But it's awfully hard to

2? He was réferred to as the "individual," a middle-aged
man who made his play for $200,000 while Northwest Orient
Airlines Flight 305 was preparing for take-off from the Port-
land International Airport.

- His threat was in a note. He handed it to a stewardess. A
briefcase was at his side. He said it contained a bomb.

* And then the "individual'' started verbally dictating ins
, structions from his seat at the rear of the jetliner.

1 <> Flight 305 was scheduled to touch down at Seattle-Tace®
{ ma Airport at 3:21 p. m. yesterday. But with a hijacker in
q control, time tables went out the window when the Boeing
mt lifted off the Portland runway.

Seattle wasn't ready for Flight 305 when it appear ed on
radar screens here. The money was on its way. But the
parachutes apparently were not. .

"The hijacker wanted two parachutes. .

_ Flight 305 went into a holding pattern 25 miles northwest
of Seattle, At 4:50 p, m., for the benefit of the hijacker,
ground control relayed this message to the jetliner:

* "FP, B. E. and police have advised no action to be taken,
"Repeat. No action to be taken.

* "We are awaiting his concurrence that you should land."

Flight Capt. William Scott relayed the hijacker's re-
sponse. .

o°*'He wants us in a lighted area so he can see what's
going on," Scott radioed.

And, the pilot emphasized, the hijacker wanted the
money and parachutés waiting. At 5:02 p. m. they had not

Ltt

arrived,
{°Yhen there was dialog between Northwest control and
the plane.

- Northwest coatrol: "Impress on this man that we are
not trying to stall. The money is on its way. It was picked up
, at more than one bank,"
"Landing from tbe north, Flight 305 was to taxi to a-
darkened area on the southwest corner of the airport.

Looks, hobby plague

By DON "WANNULA
Put a pair of dark glasses on.
Seattle's Bill Whitney and you've got
a remarkable resemblance to a com-

Eve jet hijacker who parachuted
away ivith $200,000 ransom.

Add the fact that Whitney is a co-
hoider of the Northwest sky-jumping

-altitude record at 30,000 feet and the

result is suspicion.
That suspicion by Whitney's sky-

. diving acquaintances Jed to his being

questioned for 514 hours Thursday by

. the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The look-alike problem has both-
ered Whitney, 3828 Whitman Ave. N.,
who earns his fiving in the sotnd-
equipment business.

"T's nice to be remembered, but
nat this way," Whitney said. "St
would be nice to look like a movie
star or something, but not a guy who
pulled a job."

Whitney said: "f know a lot of
jumpers up and down the coast. I
understand a Jot of them looked at
that sketch and thought of me. The

'whole point is I didn't do it and I

don't need that kind of reputation."

: WHILE WITNEY'S facial features
resembled the F. B. I. composite
sketch drawn from descriptions by
witnesses, his height, weight, age and
complexion didn't match those given
fof the hijacker.

Whitney is 3-féet-8 and about 40

- pounds. Witnesses said the hijacker

-

was § feet and 175 pounds, They said
the hijacker had an olive complexion.
Whitney is fair-skinned. The hijacker
was described as middie-a ged — be-

_ twhen 40 and 46. Whitney is 33 with
"prematurely receding hair.

_ . After the hijacker showed a stew-
ardess what he said was a bontb,
commandeered the Northwest Orient
Airline} 727 November 24, aud re-
Idased 'the passengers in Seattle for
$200,000: and four parachutes, he
hailed out somewhere between Clark
County and Reno, Nev. '

Seattle sky diver

Immediately the F. B. I began
checking out anydne with parachut-
ing experience. 4

Whitney, who has made some 300
jumps since taking up the sport in
1965, said he first heard that he was
being sought for questioning Thurs-
da

He said: "I heard the F, B. I was
looking for me and I said: 'Oh, broth-
er." I figured, rather than have them
pick me up on the street or some-

+ where,.I'd call them." 'When he did,

they said, yes, the F. B. I. did want
to talk to him. .

"Tf I had been guilty, I'd be in fail
right now," Whitney said.

Whitney said a San Francisco,

newspaper reporter aiso flew ta
Seattle to interview him after a San
Francisco sky jompér told the report-

- ers he was convinced. Whitney was

the skyjacker.
WHITNEY SAID fis problems

were compounded by having few peo-
ple to verify where he was the

Wednesday of the hijacking. The
bachelor said he drove to Bellingham
about 7:36 a. m. and spent some time
with this partner in the sound-equip-
ment business, returning fo the
Northeast Seattle home of his partner
about noon. He said his partner re-
turned about 6:30 or 7 p. m. and saw
him at the home. He said he couidn't
recall anyone else seeing him. Whit-
ney said he spent Thanksgiving Day
at his parent's home in Tacoma:
''Another thing, I wear dark glass-
es a lot," Whitney said. The skyjack-
er was wearing dark glasses.
Whitney is convinced the skyjacker
pot away. He does not consider what
the skyjacker was reported'to have
done as diffieult, "I could have doe
it, yes, but | didn't," Whitney said.
But Whitney also believes the hi
jacker will be caught eventually —
that he won't bé able to resist telling
some one somé¢ day. Whitney_said:
"If they ever make a movie of this,

. I'd he happy to play his part."

{Mount Clipping in Space Below)

Search crews went into the
field-snd-Into the air again
today as the hunt continued
for the daring Northwest
Orient Airlines hijacker who
parachuted from a 727 jet
with $290,000 in ransom
Wednesday night.

A it-man posse, aided by
10 Ciark County sheriff's pa-
trol éars and six helicopters,
fanned out again in a five-

"mile fine through the moun-

tain foothills near Woodland,

Ar eight-hour search yes-
terday. produced nothing,
Tom Manning, Federal Bu-

"reau of Investigation coordi-

nator, said, *

: Manning said the hijacker
had:to be "either crazy or an

experienced jumper" to
make. it. He said the money
he carried with him when he
left the rear stairs of a 727
jetliner weighed 2434 pounds.

AUTHORITIES — disclosed
yesterday that the $200,000
was supplied in $20 bills-~a
packet of 18,000 bills that
weighed' 2414 pounds and
measured 8 by 6 by 27 inch-
es.

"We checked reports of
possible sightings but they
all proved. false," Clark
County Sheriff Eugene Cot-
ton said.

About 25 to 35 sheriff's
deputies and Federal Bureau
of Investigation agents were
contacting residents on the
ground while two helicopters
Isuked for a parachute yes-
terday afternoon.

A 20-square-mile area east
of Woodland was being
checked even though F. B. ¥,
officials said the hijacker
could have bailed out any-

where hetryeen there and

Reno,

William Scott, pilot of the
plane, said he complied with
the hijacker's request ta dar-
ken the cabin, fiy no higher
than 10,000 feet and leave the
rear stairs down, Scott said
indicator lights in the cock-

pit showed the rear stairwell

was being operated as the
plane flew over the Wood-
land area, shortly after take-
off from Seattle. °

It was also the last com-
munication befween the hi-
jacker and the crew.

F. B. I. AGENTS told

"Searchers to look for two

white parachute canopies
and parts of a pink one
found open and torn aboard
the plane when it landed.
The agents speculated that
the hijacker might have used
parts of the torn parachute
to tie packets of money to
his body,

The hijacker also took
some of the plane crew's
food rations with him when
he jumped.

Colton said temperatures
outside the plane were below
zero when the door 'was
opened and it was assumed
the hijacker couldn't have
withstood the cold too long.

THE HIFJACKER, who
boarded the plane in Port-
Jand, showed a briefcase to a
stewardess en route to
Seattle and told her it con-
tained a bomb, He demand-
ed $200,000 and two para-
chute assemblies, each con-
sisting of a back pack and
chest pack.

When he received the
$200,008 and the paracliutes

at the Seattle-Tacoma Air-

"=

*port, "he released 36 passen-

gers and two Sstewatdttses,
then ordered the threé-man
flight crew and one steward-

_ess to take him to Mexico

City. The plane headed for

+

Reno for a refueling stop... *
The hijacker was gone

when the plane landed in

Reno Wednesday night.

Florence Schaffner, .23, of"

Minneapclis, the stewardess,

first contacted hy the hijack--

er, said in Minneapolis yes-
terday she thought the his

jacker was "trying -to hus--
tle me" when he handed her,

a note,

She said: "I stuffed the.
note in my purse and he mo-'

tioned that ¥ should take it
out and read it."

Miss Schaffner did. It said

the man, had'a bomb.

Capt. Wiliam Scott, 'pilot
of the plane, said he was

_ surprised _ when the' piane

landed in Reno and the hi-
jacker was gone. Earlier re-
ports said the pilot believed
the man parachuted out over
the Woodland area. Scott
said that when the plane.
landed in Reno:

"f STEPPED into the cab-

in and asked if there were
any more instructions, but
there was no answer. I
Jooked ayound the curtain

and determined he was not.

there."
Stewardess Tina Mucklow,

22, of Richfield, Minn., said-

she sat with the hijacker
when the plane left Seattle
but was ordered forward
with the rest of the crew
shortly after takeoff,

"He was not nervous," she
said, "He seemed rather
nice, and he wasenevereruel
or nasty."

"Sketch Made
OF Hijacker

'BY DICK CLEVER

" Who i is: the man who paracbufed fro om a
hijacked Nor thwest' Airlines. jetliner to

comunit one of the most daring 'eis of air

pir acy in aviation histor, ¥?

: As of last night, 'the hifacker's identity
remained a mystery, as did the wherea-
bouts, of the $209,000 he took as ransom
money for 36 passengers and two steward-
esses.

, Phe FBI has "been characteristically
tight- -Jipped. But the agency did release a
composife sketch of a thin, dark, middle-
aged man wearing dark glasses.

And FBI agents vowed te search the en-
tire route between Seattle and Reno, Nev.,
flown by the hijacked Boeing 27.

Along with the FBI sketch, a personality

pattern of the hijacker began to emerge
yesterday. * +"
He was obvicusly a meticulous plannet,
e-dnteligent individual who pielied-his.es-
eapade: carefully. A calm, conseivatively

Gressed "straightlooking"
ype, he dig_not fit the so-
called profile of & typical
hijacker.

He knew the capabilities

of the Boeing 727 and that it

was probably the only com-
mercial jetliner from which
a parachutist could safely
leap.

-The amount 6f money —
$200,006 — was a large

- amount, but still a sum that

could be raised by an air-
line in a short period of
time. The weight of the

16,000 twenty. dollar bills, at .
about 24 pounds, would be :

lighit enough to handle in a

parachute juny if the bills -
were properly packaged.
- But twenty dollar bills are -
small enough not fo cause a '
\great deal of suspicion
.fwhen being passed. .
| At 6-feet-1 and 175 pounds,

vthe hijacker was probably

in good physical condition.

for a man in his, mid-for-

ites. - es
The hijacker chose a'

"bonib" as his weaport,
rather than a firearm. Somé!
law officers speculated ta)
the man wanted to ¢reat

the fear that a possible':
madman was at work' who,

had no fear of losing his
own ife if his demands
were not met.

Most authorities believe
the hijakcer was an experi-
enced jumper. But they be-
lieve his experience was in
military jumping, or com-
bat jumping, rather than
sport parachuting.

Earl Cossey, president of
Sky Sports, Ine., and Seattle
parachuting club, shares
that theory. .

"He knew about military
chutes," Cossey said. '"Be-
eause when he found out
they were sending some
chites up from MeChord
Air Force Base, he turned
them down."

Cossey explained that the

military chutes were the"

type that open immediately
after the jumper exits from
airplane, This would uot al-
low the chulist to fall free of
the military observation

planes that were following ©

the hijacked liner,

Cossey believes that the
hijacker "got quite a
shock" when he leaped from
the 727 at 200 miles per
hour and opened the back-
pack chute provided to him
by Renton Aviation.

Cossey should know. He is

'self and he personally

fourth was a "dummy"

WOODLAND, Clark County — (UPI) — A parade of:

year may have an adven-
ture-slory ring to it and
have established a hijack-

:er's twisted creativity but

Northwest Airlines officials
were thankful of just one
thing yesterday:

The safe return of 35 pas-
sengers and a flight crew of
six.

'Thanksgiving has partic-
war meaning to us," a
Northwest spokesman re-
marked, "because we were

Federal Aviation Admin-
istration and airline offi-
'clals yesterday remained
tighttipped about the hi-

jacking, on orders of the

Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation, and said they would
make no comments until
the hijacker is brought into
custody. ,
The $200,000 :ansom, col-

* was a record for the U.5.,

but Qantas Airways of Aus-
iralia was forced to pay
$560,000 on a bomb hoax
flight from Sydney to Hong
Kong last May 26.

That episade, invoiving a
phone caller who told the
airline there was an alti-
tude - sensitive bomb

aboard the Boeing 707, was

a carbon-copy of Rod Ser-

Serling (of "Twilight Zone"
fame} wish he had never
thought up the story.

Now, with this week's
skydiving hijacker, the TV
scribes will have some fac-
tual material.

"We'll probably see the
whole thing on TV's 'The
FBI" in a couple of years,"
remarked Ed Simonds, pub-
lie relations chief at Seat-
tie-Tacoma International
Airport.

And what aeronautical
madness lies ahead for
Northwest, which has had
more than its share re-
cently?

The airline in mid-Sep- :

tember. had Garfunkel, the '

Cat and Bandit, the Dog —
two pets who were stow-
aways in the caverns of
747s, both of which were
soon Eberated. .

Then, two weeks ago, a
Northwest 747° bound for
Sea-Tac from Tokyo had to
delay its landing two hours
because of an tnclaimed
briefease spotted by a sky
marshal. The briefcase, left
behind by an absent-minded
passenger, was thought to
have a bomb in it, and if so,
the device could be pressure
sensitive and explode at a
Jower altitude. :

Finally; along came -this
week's skyjacker and his
parachutes.

Rather ironically, wheth-

hijacker received his
$200,000 ransom {rom one ofC
the most consistently profit-
able airlines in-<ke-tasi-

parachuted from the piane,
with his $200,000 ransom on @
flight from Seattle' fo Reno.

nication between the hijack-
'+ er and the crew was while
'the plane was over Clark

intensive search of the area
around Wocdland. See A 7.}

lijacker's Note of Thanks?

nod ,

Unites Press liternational

A note fram "D. B. Coop-
er'-yeading, 'Thanks for
hospitality," was turned
over to the PBI yesterday
on the chance it was sent by
the parachuting airline hi-
jacker who got away with
$200,000 ransom Jast week.

The note, with printed
words pasted to a piece of
paper, was received by

'Reno Newspapers, Inc. it

was addressed in light
hand-printed pencil £0
Reno,
Nev.," and postmarked
Oakdale, Calif, a small
town southeast of Stockton.
Tt read: .
"Attention. Thanks for
hospitality. Was in a rut, D.

_B. Cooper." '

"t). B. Cooper" was the
name given by the swarthy
man who hijacked a North-
west Airlines 727 jetliner
Wednesday, collecte
$200,000 ransom, and then
~seaped by parachute while

x

the plane was fyingtzom
Seattle to Reno.

"Cooper," a name the
FBI said is probably an
alias, caught the fancy of
some people for the daring
nature of his crime and for
its apparent success in
"beating the system."

- PBI agents—not charmed .

at all by the hijacker's ca-
per — continued their
dogged search yesterday in

.2 15-square-mile area around

Woodland, in Clark County,
where they think he' came
down after leaping from the
plane.

Tom Manning, 'the agent

-in charge, suggested the hi-

jacker may be marooned in
the rugged Cascade foot-
hills with a broken leg. ,

But some local law offi-
cers frankly admiit, off the
record, that they think he's
sitting in a hotel in Mexico

hijacking |
, recalled

4 The hijacking of a North-
fwest Orient Airlines Port-
Yiand-to-Seattle flight was the
second hijacking of a
Seattle-bound plane this
year, ;
February 25, a Western |
Airlines plane from Ontario,
Calif., was en route from its
only stop, San Francisco,
- when it was hijacked over

fly to Vancouver, B. C. :

The passengers and crew
returned to Seattle after" 'a
youth was arrested and the
plane and luggage were
iisearched,

- Chappin. Scott Paterson,
19, who originally demanded
the plane be flown to Cuba,
was indicted by 'a federal
grand jury here on a charge
of air piracy.

Paterson Jater pleaded
guilty to a lesser charge of
interfering with the opera-

'tion of an airliner. Hijacking
and kidnaping charges were
dismissed by the govern-
ment. He is in the correc-

h tions center at Lompoc, Cal-

yif., serving a term of up to i

years.

Airline Raises
Quick $200,000

How do you raise a quick

. 200 grand after the banks

are closed?

That was the sticky -prob-
lem of Northwest Airline of-
ficials late yesterday after-
noon when a hijacker com-
mandeered a Boeing 727 en
route from Portland to Seat-

'tle and demanded $200,000"
for the safety of 35 other °
_ passengers.

The airline fast night
would not reveal the details
of how it obtained the huge
sum on short notice.

But. apparently, because ~

of the circumstances, the
banks opened their doors
exclusively for ihe carrier.

_' A Northwest spokesman
said the money was coliect-

ed from "Jocal financial
sources." ,

A spokesman for the Fe-
derail Aviation Administra-
tion said that all the bills
were the real McCoy "and
nof cut paper."

An unidentified "North-

west courier" delivered the ,

money to the ill-fated plane
as it was parked on the end
of a runway in the darkness
at the south end of Sea-Tac.

Jack Keillor, district
sales manager for North-
west: here, apologized last
night for the iack of details
concerning the $200,000
transaction and Jor "being
so closed-mouthed at this
point, but our concern is for
the four crew members
aboard that plane."

Donald W. Nyrop, presi-
denfi—_cf-the Minneapolis-

based airline, issued orders
to cooperate fully with the

hijacker and "do whatever
he demands."'

1A portrait of an unimpres-
sive, cool and relaxed hi-
iicker was sketched by pas-
spngers last evening at the

eattle-Tacoma Airport as
they tried to recall the seat-
'mate who held them more
than three hours for $206,008
ransom.

As a Northwest Orient Air-

complicated instructions of
the hijacker, only other'

'nite their 727 from the sky.

worried, Most said they be-

lieved the flight captain's an-
nouncement that Flight 305
was experiencing mechani-
cal difficulties and had to
"burn" fuel by circling over
Seattle.

Actually Capt. Bill Scott
was burning time while
ground- personnel conrplied
with the hijacker's orders.

Questioned after they left
a questioning session con-
ducted by Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents, passen-
gers recalled their abductor:
- "A quiet guy." °

"He had dark glasses."

his seat."

"Sort of slouched."

"Didn't notice him until

window as the busy drama
nfolded of collecting tlie
kansom, cordoning the air-
'port,. locating parachutes

dark, black colored glasses on. He was
kind of slumped down in the seat."
Gregory added that the hi jacker
~ "seemed very relaxéd.'* "

him for about four hours on

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — It has been three yédrs since

iskyjacker called Dan Cooper parachuted from a Northwést

Airlines jet with $200,000 in ransom money and wrote himself
into the folklore of the Pacific Northwest.

Two more and he'll. be hortie free — if he's alive.

"The federal statute of limitations on. that crime is five
years," said Sidney Lezak, U.S. attorney in Portland. ,

According to.the U.S. Department of Transportation, Cooper
is the only person ever to hijack 'a domestic airliner who-has 'not
been killed-or brought to justice.

"We know nothing more about him today than we did at it ~

'p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1971," says. Julius Mattson, special

agent'in charge of the Portland F'BI office. "I just wish we had

something to:g6 one. We don't have a thing, Just a big zero,"
These are the events of that Thanksgiving Eve as authorities

' reconstructed them:

A man Who

gave his name as Dan.Cooper bought a one-way.

ticket at. Portland' International Airport to Seattle aboard: -
Northwest Airlines flight 305 which originated in: Washington,

. In the air, Cooper handed: stewardess Tina Mucklow a ndte -

No. antihijacking measures were in operation as the 36 pas
an th boarded: the Bosing 727 for the 25-minute flight. |

fiucte he had a bomb. Following Cooper's orders, Miss.

ncklow sat béside him and wrote down instructions tothe |
pilot.

Nothing 'was.heard from-Cooper for about 20 minutes. At8:10
p.m., as the plane crossed the Lewis. River in Southwestern
Washington, Capt. William Scott thought the skyjacker was
having trouble with the ramp and called back over the plané's

There was no answer, a

sxyjacked $20 Report May Be Secret'.

'By ROLLA J, CRICK
Journal Stafé Writer

The Journal is making its
"Secret Witness" plan ayail-
able for use in helping re-
cover the "Cooper cash,' the
$200,000 that disappeared the
night of Nov. 24, 1971, with
the parachuting hijacker
popularly known as D. B.
Cooper.

The plan can be used with
or separate from the news-
papers offer to pay $1,000
for the firsc $20 bili to be

| turned in that can be verified

by the FBI to be part of the
money Cooper obtained from
Northwest Orient Airlines
prior to jumping from a jew
liner he had commandecred.
it can be used to return the
money, enter inlo negotia-
tions for its reburn or to pro-
vide information on the

+ whereabouts of the elusive
; hijacker. .

The "Secret Witness' plan
wil enable someone with-ene
cr more of the missing bills

* to surrender the money and
> still keep his or her identity
_ Secret.

Here is how to use the

l. Place the money in a

* place of your choosing and
: write ddivn instructions for

locating fit.

2. Dofiot sign your name,
but on Toth lower corners of
the first page write a cade,
using any -comMination of

numbers and letters,

3. Tear off one of the cor-
ners, making a jagged tear.
Keep the torn off corer
bearing your code and mail
the report containing the du-
plicate code to "Secret Wit-
ness," The Journal, 1320 SW
Broadway, Portland. Ore.
57201.

The Journal will forward

OWN CQDE

wma ee an

your information to the FBL
which will pick up the money
and verify whether it is in-
deed from the Cooper ran-
som. If it is, that fact will be
published in the newspaper.
After that, give the tora-off
corner you have kept to a
trusted friend or to an attor-
ney or to Your minister with

Jy to the Secret Witness plan
coordinator at The Journal. °
TE the codes and tor edges
match, your agent will be
given the $1,000 for the first
$20 of the "Cooper cash?' to
be turned in.

The ptocedure listed in
points i, 2 and 3 can be fol-
lowed for supplying informa~-
tion about what has hap-
pened. to Cooper.

Jwiug Mattson, agent in
charge of the Portland office
of the FBI, says he can visu-
alize situations where people ©
with the money might be
willing to. turn it in, Put do
not wish it to Decorke known
that-they have the money.

"Suppose someone
found the money and has
been holding onto it afraid to
turf it in, or has even spent
some of it and then become
afraid of the consequences;
such a person might wel-
come the 'Secret 'Witness'
opportunity," Mattson add-
e

There has Jong been specu-
er-
ished in his nochittal leap
from the jetliner and that
some day 2 hunter or hiker
would find his body ot the
maoney somewhere along the
flight path of the aircraft be-
tiveen: Seattle and Reno. It is
this possibility to which
Mattson refers, -

PORTLAND, Gre. (AP) —
Two years after parachuting
fron a Northwest Afrlines jet
with $200,000 in ransom
Money, the skyjacker known
«3 Dan Cooper remains a folk
hero and 4 mysten.

He is, according to the U.8.
Department of Trans.
portation, the only person ever
to hijack 4 domestic airliner
who has not been kilted or
breught to justice.

"We really know nothing
More about him foday than we
did at 11 pm. Wednesday,
Nov. 24, 1972,"" says Julius
Mattson, specla) agent in
vharge of the Portland FBI of-
fier.

Authorities said this is what
happencd on that Thanksgiv-
ing Eve:

A man Who gave his name
a3 Dan Cooper bought a one.
way ticket at Portland Inter-
national Airport to Seattic
aboard Northwest Airlines'
Flieht 305 which originated in
Washington, B.C,

No antibljacking measures
ere in operation as the 36

- passengers boarded the
Boeing 727 for the 25-minute
flight,

|}. Once in the air, Cooper

i handed slewardess Tina

Mucklow a nole saying he had
a bomb. Following Cooper's
orders, Miss Mucklow sat be-
side the skyjacker and wrote
'lown instructions (nthe pilot.

D. B. Cooper

As passengers remembered him

TE WANTED 10,000 $20
bills to be delivered te hum at
Sealtle in a Jawndry sack,
along with two sets of para-
chutes. Otherwise he threat-
ened to blow up the plane,

Airline officials and Federal
Bureau of Investigation agents
complied with his requests
and Cooper allowed the pas-
stngers and two of the lbree
stewardesses to disembark at

_ Seattle,

Then he ordered the plane to
fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200
miles per hour, at 10,00 fect,
flaps dawn. The crew was to
stay in the cockpit.

Alter takeoff from Sealtle, a
red light Mashed in the cockpit
indicating the plane's rear
boarding ramp had been un-
latched.

Nothing was heard trom
Cooper for about 20 minutes.
At &10 p.m., as the plane

crossed the Lewis River in
southwestern Washington.
Capt. William Scot! thougiit
the hijacker was having

trouble wilh the ramp and,

called back aver the plane's
interphone:

"Anything we ean de for
you?"

There was no answer.

ANOTHER LIGHT flashed
showing the ramp was fully
extended, A few secands later
the hijacker came back on the
interphene: ""No."*

That was the last ever heard
of him.

When the plane landed in
Reno, the rear ramp was down
and Cooper was gone, The 21-
Pound sack of money was
gone. One set of parachutes
was gone. The skyjacker, wha
had carefully reclaimed his
note to the stewardess, had
lef no fingerprints.

Authorities believed Cooper
jumped [rom the plane near
Woodland, Wash. The town
was transformed Into a bus-
fling command post for 2
small army of newsmen and
dozens of FBI agents, police
and soldiers from Ft. Lewis.

With planes, helicopters,
Jecps and track dogs, they
combed the vast, denscly
wooded region northeast of
Woodland. Much of it was rug-
ged terrain, thick with freshly

folis her

A flight recorder indicated
that the rear door of the 727
was opened shorily after

ranged from tho possibility
Ahat his body someday would.
be found hanging in the

ranged from Seattle to Reno.;
'Wt enjoyed another briefif'
round of 'popularity a yearé
ago when FBI agents and .

Army troops from Ft, Lewis,

* Wash., combed the woods of |

» Cowlitz County, °°. E

And now «it's Playing

Tronically, though, D. B.

, Cooper, is the wrong name. |
Somehow in the first hours
- after the hijack the name:-

|
1
: | D.B, Cooper cropped up and,

' stuck. It may have been be-
cause the FBI was checking
on art individual whose name
really was D.B, Cooper, .but
he was in 'jail at the time of
the hijack. .
When the hijacker 'bought
his Portland to Seattle ticket
in Portland, he gave the
name Dan Cooper. The FBI
now officially identifies the
man they want as Dan Coop-

| er, That name was obtained

by a process of elimination
as the only passenger left on
the 727 jetliner in Seattle af-
ter the hijacker Jet the oth-

4 er passengers go.

Curiously, theré " was' aif.
bona fide Cooper who got of
the — still-to-be-hijacked}
plane at Portland, The FBI
investigated him and deter- -
tained that he had not flown «
on to Seattle and thus could .
not be the hijacker. His first -
name was not Dan; it was |
Michael.

Dan C6oper was not the
right name for the, hijacker
'in any case, the *FBI be

lieves, "eee

But whether Dan or DB.

or Rumpeistiltskin Cooper, -
.the FBI would like to, talk to
him, if he is the hijacker. '

And The Journal still is*

wwilling to pay $1,000 for that
first $20 of "Cooper cash" to
be turned in, Serial numbers
of some of the bills are at

right.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) —
Experts famillar with the re-

One of Nixon's Watergate
tapes—marred with whistles,

was played for the first time
in pubjic Tuesday in the
court of Federal Judge Jehn
J. Siriea,

The ttpe contained conver-
sations Nixon had with his
former key aides, John D.

Several representatives of
the communications industry
challenged Miss Woods' ac-
count of how the tape was
erased,

The Los Angeles 'Times
questioned technicians and
executives in the audio in-
dusiry, who deal with the
Vher 5000,
jiiss Woods, President.
Nixon's seeretary, told a tud-
eral judge that she had acei-

"step key while transerib-

her fest down on a pedal

Cari Beonett, service man-

Bennet noted that the

William Lindsey, a .ules-

ON THANKSGIVING EVE five

was Dan Cooper boarded Northwest
Airtine!s flight 305 at Portland hound
for Seattle. He displayed'a "bomb," de-

survived, they are still wanted men.
There is no statute of limitations for

veteran FBI agent who has lived with'
the Cooper case for the past five years,
literally day and night.

"We are continuing our.investiga- "

By DAVID KERN

. Columbian Staff Writer

ARIEL — It is 'highly unlikely" that the tattered
slacks found by hunter William Lynch on Green
Mountain near here could have been worn by famed
skyjacker Dan Cooper, according to a highly in-
formed law enforcement source.

"It is generally felt from looking at the crime
laboratory report that the pants are not five years

old," said the official, who asked that his name not

be used, . .
"We're not any closer to catching Caoper than
we've ever been," he added. : .

Seven FB agents spent 3% hours on Nov. 24 ~

searching around the area where Lynch spotted the
pants. 'The blue-gray continental-style slacks were

about 25 feet above the groundina tree when Lynch __

spied them while hunting.

«The source said it was generally felt that the pants
would have been too large for Cooper. The slacks had
about a 36-inch waist and 33-inch inseam. Cooper was

described as about 5-foot-10 and weighig about 170
About 200 persons celebrated the fifth anniversary, .

although the slacks sparked a new interest in th
case, the law enforcement official said, 'We still
don't have one good lead." Te

John Reed, agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle
office, declined Saturday to discuss the laboratory
tests, He said it is against Justice Department rules
to discuss evidence in criminal cases.

"Y figured they had been there some time — three
years, maybe five years,"" Lynch, a logger, said

Saturday. "I still think they came out of an airplane —

because of the way they were hanging."

Lynch said he is convinced the pants could have
been in the tree for a long time because "'of nature's
signs" — fir needles and green moss stains, And he
said the pants looked like the kind a businessman
would wear, and "most woodsmen wear overalls and
suspenders."

Many think Cooper might have landed near
Lynch's home. Does Lynch think Cooper survived?

"It does seem something concrete would have
come up," Lynch said. "But it's a big country to
" cover inch by inch."

Tattered Pair Of Pants —

Renews Skyjacker Prohe

By DIANE CARMAN

Journal Staff Writer -
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Half a doz-
en Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents, armed with search equipment,
entered a remote area of Clark County
i; Wednesday where skyjacker Dan Coop-

ler may have bailed out five years ago.

j The possible break in the mystery

hijacking came on the fifth anniversary °

of the Thanksgiving Eve incident which
began at Portland International Airport
when Cooper 'boarded a commercial
flight.
A tattered pair of pants found hang-
ing in a tree in the Green Mountain area
. of Northern Clark County in Washing-
ton sparked the new search.
» Ray Mathis of the Seattle office of
' the FBI, said Wednesday the bureau is
-investigating the new evidence, found
by a deer hunter.
The discovery of the pants was not
revealed by the FBI until Wednesday.
}. "Sure, they could be Cooper's pants,"
Isaid Mathis of the find several weeks
Jago. "But we've found plenty of pieces

'of clothing and other evidence that

a

ie

could have been Eooper' s. Unit we fing
other evidence we can't say for sure." |

Mathis called the investigation "rou,
tine," saying, "The only thing unusual
avout it is that it happened this time of
year when the interest in the Cooper
case is high." '

Dan Cooper, who became popularly
known as D. B. Cooper, parachuted into

the woods near Woodland, Wash., Nov.
24, 1971, after hijacking a Boeing 727i in
Seattle. The craft landed in Reno after
Cooper exited.

The tattered dark gleen plaid men's
trousers were said found late last month
. by William Lynch— a Woodland area
hunter, hanging in a tree 2 feet above
-the ground. . ot °,

"ARIEL, Wash. {AP) — If he's he's alive,

' fand that's.a 'big 'if, skyjacker Dan

- Cooper started his final. year of lying
ow Monday.

On Nov. 24, 1971, a man-using that

. Named parachufed from a Northwest
Orient 727 over Southwest Washington
** with $200,009 in ransom money.

__, He and the money were never seen
. again, and on. Nov. 24, 1976, the statute
, of limitations expires,

7 The deed spawned several similar

* attempts, and two air pirates.later made
i 'similar jumps over Indiana and Utah. °

Both- were captured.

But Cooper's apparent success. made .
* hith a' folk hero of sorts. There were
_ Cooper tee- shirts, bumper stickers and .
" atleastone song.

< iN" The case has been a festering thorn
the side of the FBI, which admits it

'tnows little more about him than it did
m the stormy Thanksgiving eve when
-Cooper grabbed the bag containing |
10,000 $20 bills, and leaped into history.
The case remains active, however, and
'FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach, who has
worked on if off and on for four years,
- says leads still dribble in.

The man using the name of Cooper ;
boarded Northwest's Flight 105 in Port-
..land. Once in the air, he threatened to

' plow' up the plane unless $200,000 in

$20 bills and four parachutes were Biv:
en him in Seattte. . =

He got what he wanted.

"My personal guess is that there is
no better than 4 50 per cent chance that
he's still alive, and that's being very
generous," Himmelsbach said. "In fact,
the chances are-very slim indeed."

He said Cooper apparently knew {it-
tle or nothing about skydiving.

|

_ least his memory does.

(Dan Cooper' has one year'to go

In' addition, Himmelsbach~ "Said, °
Cooper was in clouds when he jumped ¢
and couldn't have known where he.,

would land. "Up looked like down," he'.

said. "He could have' had no visual ;
reference." - ' 1b FY

Enclosed for each receiving office are two copies/of an
artist's conception of captioned unsub.

Shortly after 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST)
11/24/71, a lone white male traveling from Portland, Oregon, to
Seattle, Washington, on captioned flight displayed the contents of
his brief case to a stewardess indicating to her it was a bomb
which would be exploded unless his demands were met. The hijacker
indicated his willingness to exchange the safety of the 36 passen-
gers and crew for $200,000 in cash and four parachutes. He
instructed that the plane cirele the Seattle airport until his
demands were met at which time the plane landed. Once the money
and parachutes were loaded and the plane was being refueled, the
hijacker allowed the passengers and two airline stewardesses to
deplane leaving a flight crew of three males and one female and
the hijacker aboard. The hijacker indicated a desire to fly to'
Mexico City and instructed the plane to take off flying at a low
altitude and slow speed, maintaining a southerly direction. Upon
demand the hijacker was instructed on lowering the rear passenger
door while the aircraft was in flight. He was last seen in the
aircraft by crew members at 8;05 p.m. PSI, when he Ld 49 F-

the hostage stewardess to go forward to the first class section and
close the curtains behind her. Stewardess complied, going through
first class section into pilot's cockpit and locking door behind her.
Prior to departing from passenger cabin, hijacker told stewardess
the money bag was not in accordance with instructions and to cut

up one of the parachutes to rewrap the money, which was done. When
the aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, for refueling, the hijacker,

two parachutes, the ransom money, and the vinyl brief case had
disappeared.

Investigation determined that the hijacker had purchased
his ticket at the Portland Airport shortly before the plane's departure.
Upon arrival at Seattle, all passengers were accounted for except a
white male using the mame Dan Cooper. There were no sky marshals
aboard this flight and at no time did subject show any firearms.

From information available, the subject is described as
white male, mid 40's, 5'10" to.6', 170°to 180 pounds, average to well
built, olive or swarthy complexion, medium smooth, dark brown or
black hair parted on left side, combed back, sideburns to low ear
level, dark eyes, probably black or brown. Subject wore a dark suit,
white shirt, with narrow black tie. He wore dark glasses with plastic
rims (possibly prescription lenses) most of the time. He had dark
overcoat and was described as cool and calculating. His voice was
low. He spoke intelligently and was a heavy smoker of Raleigh filter
tip cigarettes.

All leads should be handled immediately and set out tele-
phonically and confirmed by teletype.. The Bureau must be kept advised
of all pertinent developments as they occur. A list of the loot is
being prepared and will be disseminated. Consider subject dangerous.

WOODLAND, Wash. (AP) —
An airplane hijacker has van-
ished with two parachutes and
$200,000, and the search for him
has ended for al! but the FBI.
A University of Washington
sociologist calls the sky piracy
an "awesome feat in the battle
of man against the machine."
Dr. Otto Larsen said the sky-
jacker apparently has won pub-
lic admiration as "one man
overcoming, for the time being
anyway, technology, the corpo-
ration, the establishment, the
system."
Thus, Larsen said, the hijack-
er "comes off as a kind of cur-
jous Robin Hood, taking from
.fhe rich — or at least the big
and complex. It doesn't matter
j whether he gives it te the poor
or not." ;
FBE officials in- Portland,
Ore., and Seattle say they will
continue their pursuit of fhe
man who apparently bailed out
of the hijacked Northwest' Air-
i} lines jetliner last week as it
flew from Seattle to Rena, Nev.
But local law enforcement

"There's nothing new and
we've taken our men off unless
something else turns up," a
spokesman for the Glark Coun-

ty, Wash,, sheriff's office saidj
Monday of the search for the
jhijacker in the brushy, tim-

nills of southwest Washington.

The FBI continued question-
ing dozens of persons who be-
lieved they recognized a com-
posite sketch of the hijacker,
but the investigators reported
no success in finding a definite

Officials sald they had con-
centrated the search around
Woodland because the jetliner's
flight recorder had indicated

Enclosed for each office is one artist's conception
of the captioned subject. The Bureau is preparing a circular
for field-wide circularization concerning captioned case and
will include an artist's conception of the hijacker. The Bureau
has been asked to prepare a sketch showing the unknown subject
without glasses. Additional distribution will be made from
time to time to parachute clubs, flight instruction schools and
airports, etc., in an effort to identify the unknown subject
which undoubtedly will result in various field divisions receiving
calls on this case.

For the assistance of all offices in conducting
investigation and to evaluate complaints from citizens, the
following information is furnished:

The unknown subject boarded captioned flight at
Portland, Oregon, using the name DAN COOPE
was taxiing toward the runway, Stewardess
occupied the seat reserved for the stewardesses on gey/seats

side of the plane and behind the last row of passenge?y/ seats.
The unknown subject, who occupied the center seat in Ahe last
row of three seats, turned and handed her an envelope

which she did not open for a few minutes until he glanced

at her several times. She then opened the envelope and read
the enclosed note which said: "Miss - I have a bomb here ~
and I would like you to, sit by me." At this point Stewardess

Stewardess | jthen sat next to the hijacker
who opened a black attache case' and showed her what he said
was a bomb. She described the centents of the attache case
as a bundle of red sticks, which she believed was dynamite.
The bundle consisted of six or eight red colored sticks
approximately six to eight inches long with no writing on the
outside. The hijacker was holding in his hand a wire which .
lead to the bundle of sticks-and indicated that he could L,
detonate the bomb by touching the wire to a contact. Also in
the attache case was a cylindrical Shaped battery about eight
inches long. come

At first the hijacker asked for $200,000 and, two
parachutes. :

after | lleft her stewardess seat and gave bé
the note to sat beside the hijacker who, after bIC
showing the contents of the attache case, told her to,
"Take this down." From her purse she obtained a pen and note
pad and he dictated the following message: '

"I want $200,000 by 5:00 PM in cash. Put
it in a knapsack. I want two back parachutes and two
front parachutes. When we land, I want a fuel truck ready
to refuel. No funny stuff, or 1'11 do the job."

At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac)
in answer to his demands, the hijacker was provided with the —
four parachutes and $200,000 in 20 dollar bills in a canvas |
bank bag. When the plane_landed at Seattle at 5:45 PM (PDT) _
he instructed Stewardess |jto go after the money — bé
which she did. He opened the bag; inspected the money and then BIC
told them that the passengers as well'as the two other oe
stewardesses could leave the plane. They did deplane. The

remaining crew members were the three male members of the
flight crew as well as Stewardess

lthen made several trips out of the bé
plane to obtain the parachutes which she brought to the subject. b7C

. The hijacker instructed that he be flown to Mexico
City and also told the pilot that he wanted the plane flown at
not more than 10,000 feet with the flaps at 15 degrees, the landing
gear down and the rear steps of the plane also down. The
plane involved was a Boeing 727, a Tri-jet with stairs at
the rear which lowered for passengers. The hijacker finally

agreed to having the steps raised and a flight plan was
arranged from Seattle to Portland and down south to Red
Bluff, California and then to Reno, Nevada for refueling.

The plane departed Sea-Tac with the three crew -
members in the cabin and| Jin the rear with the bé
hijacker. Within minutes after take off at 7:36 PM, the b7¢
hijacker had the stewardess show him how to lower the steps
and he then ordered her to go to the first class section
which she did, and she then continued on to the cabin.

At 8:05 PM the captain was in touch with the
hijacker by the intercom. This was the last communication
he had with the hijacker. Just prior to this communication,
the captain had a signal indicating that the stairs had: been
lowered. At 8:12 PM, the captain experienced "oscillation"
in the plane and thought perhaps the hijacker had departed
the plane.

Air Force fighter planes were escorting the craft
but because the 727 was flying at 170 knots, the fighter jets

'were too fast. Further, the weather was overcast and

visibility extremely low.

When the plane arrived at Reno, the hijacker was
gone and two of the parachutes were still in the airplane.
The attache case also was not in the plane and has not been
found.

Extensive search of the southwestern part of
Washington State, which was indicated by the 8:12 PM oscillation,
has been conducted but with negative results to date.

Subject is described as follows:

Age: Mid 40s ;

Height: 5'10" to 6°

Weight: 170 to 180 lbs.

Build: — Average to well built
