-'BALD," PAPERS SAYS |

BREMERTON, 'Wash.
{UPI}—The FBI has con-
cluded that "D. B. Coop-
er," the ransom hijacker
of an airliner last Novem-
ber, is bald headed, ac-
cording to the Bremerton
Sun. 7

The Sun said it learned
this from a reliable source,
but did not indicate why .
the FBI thinks the miss--
jing man is bald. The FBI
has refused to discuss its
hunt for the skyjacker,

The FBI reportedly took -

a man from a Seattle rete .

iaurant Jast weekend to
question him about the hi-
jacking and told him he
 had-been identified as skys
jacker "PD, B. Cooper," the
Sun reported, --: -
But the newspaper said
the FBI later éliminated
the unidentified man-aé a
suspect in the hijacking
last Nov. 23 in which a
man commandeered a
Northwest © Airlines 727
_ Jet, collected $200,006 ran-
-som and parachuted into
the night.

Picture Laken

The Sun said it learned
from an_ authoritative
source that the FBI photo-
graphed the Seattle man
and questioned him at
. length about the hijack-
: ing. a

A man who signed the
passenger list as "D. B.
Cooper" hijacked the jet

Ore,, to Seattle. The plane

landed at Seattle, where
the Hijacker freed the pas-
sengers and two steward-
esses and collected" four,
parachutes' and $200,000 ix
ransom,

. He"ordered the pilot to
fly 'toward Reno, Nev., at
Jow adtitude and low

'speid. 'When the plane,

Janded at Reno, the hijack-

'ex, the ransom money ard:

tiyo'parachutes were gone.
The FBI concluded that
the hijacker must have pa-
rachuted over southwest.
Washington where a mas-
sive search recently was-
conducted.
The search for Céoper'
appeared to have shifted,
to the Bremerton area this
week; FBY agents therg!
have been questioning res-
idents. ; rn)

Man Questioned

'The newspaper reported
that. the. FBI had ques-
tioned Willfam (Jack)
Lewis, 32, a landdeveloper
from Seabeck, Wash., at
Jeast eight times since last
Saturday. Lewis told the
Sun he believed he knew
the identity of Cooper. He
was not available for com-
ment Friday.

The FBI has questioned
numerous other residents
and showed them photo-
graphs of a man apparent-'
ly taken in front of a}

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
May 2, 1972

FBI Agents today arrested two men in the State
of Washington on charges involving an alleged scheme to
dupe a national news magazine representative into buying
a firsthand account of an aircraft hijacking, according to'
Acting Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst.

The FBI identified the arrestsw&men as Donald
Sylvester Murphy, aged 49, of Bremerton, Washington, and
William John Lewis, aged 33, of Silverdale, Washington. 5
Both Murphy and Lewis are real estate promoters.

An authorized complaint charging the arrested
men with violations of the Interstate Transportation of
Stolen Property and conspiracy .to violate this statute, was
filed at Seattle, Washington on May 2, 1972.

According to the complaint, Lewis, on
February 16, 1972, was in contact with Karl Pleming, at

that time a contributing editor of Newsweek magazine who was
stationed at Los Angeles. Lewis allegedly introduced Fleming
to Murphy, claiming Murphy was the "D. B. Cooper" who-
hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines plane -on November 24, -
1971, and parachuted from the aircraft with $200,000.

Fleming then allegedly paid the men $30,000 for
an exclusive story, pointing out to them that Newsweek would
not support the undertaking but that a partner of Fleming in
Platypus Publications, Incorporated would put up -the money.

The FBI advised that both of the arrested men would
appear before a United States Magistrate as soon as. possible.

He stated that he observed in a Seattle newspaper'an advertise-~

ment run in the Personals Column asking that D. B. COOPER

contact a telephone number in the Los Angeles area. He

stated that based on this advertisement, he ran an advertise-

ment of his own in the "Bremerton Sun" in late December,

1971 or early January, 19372. His advertisement was a promotion~
al advertisement for|

| The advertisement read, "D. B. COOPER, have

| Will defer downpayment"and gave his
telephone number. Based on this advertisement, he received
a number of_telephone calis, many of which were crank calls
and he did based on the advert-
isement. He stated that he also received one telephone call
at approximately 1:00 a.m. and he felt that this call came
from the hijacker. His reason for feeling that this caller
was the hijacker was partially the time of day that the call
came and also because he did not hear any background noise
in the call which would indicate that it came from a tavern
and was a crank call. In addition to this, he recognized
the voice of the caller as a man whom he had known and with
whom he had done business in the past. He @did not identify
himself to the caller and does not know whether the caller
recognized his voice.

He stated that the caller began his conversation
by stating, "I think we have something to talk about,"
and feeling that this person was probably the hijacker,
he suggested that the individual call him back at another
time in the morning and they would set up an appointment
to get together and discuss the matter. He never received
a return telephone call from this individual, and although
he has had conversations with this individual concerning '
other business since the time he received this call, he has
not discussed the hijacking with hin.

He felt that this person could possibly be the
hijacker because he felt he had the necessary background
to commit the hijacking. He stated he felt the hijacker -
was a former Boeing employee, probably an engineer, who had
military and flying experience. He stated he felt the
hijacker had probably been fired from The Boeing -Company, and
was a paranoid individual who was mad at The Boeing Company

been found since he bailed out the
back door of a Northwest Orient

dressed in a business suit, top coat
and brown oxfords, and he had
$200,000 in ransom strapped to his
chest. This exploit has become leg-

cult has formed around him, and
at least three subsequent hijackers
have used Cooper's technique. All
were fater arrested. Cooper him-
self remains a total mystery. The
name he used to buy his airline
ticket turned out to be an alias.

After Cooper jumped, it was
two days before the heavy clouds
cleared enough to permit a heli-
