SKULL NOT-LIKELY'
TO BE HIJACKER'S |

OREGON CITY, Ore. (I—A weathered human skull
found in the Mt. Hood National Forest has been examined
to see if it, could belong to a skydiving hijacker known as
ID. B. Cooper. But authorities said it probably was not
Cooper's.

Dr. Larry Lewman, deputy Oregon medical examiner,
aid Saturday that the skull appeared to be that of a
white male in his 30s, Cooper was believed to be in his
late 40s or early 50s.

The FBI said the flight pattern and winds the night of;
the hijacking more than three years ago also made it im-
probable that the skull could be that of the skyjacker.

A man using the name of D. B. Cooper hijacked a North-
west Airlines jet Thanksgiving eve, 1971, and parachuted
out with $200,000 in ransom. He was never found and the
money was never recovered.

Tf Cooper survived the jump, he is the only domestic hi-
jacker who has not been captured or killed. The statute of
limitations will run out on the crime in two years.

The sku}l was found east of Estacada Thursday by a
hiker and turned over to the Clackamas County sheriff's
department.

_ The idea that the skull could belong to Cooper spread
when the man who found the skull reported seeing a pa-
rachute in a nearby tree.

: A sheriff's deputy confirmed that there was a ae th

"in the tree, but he said authorities had been aware of th
chute for some time and that it appeared to be fro
weather instruments. . .

"I think this will turn out to be one our lost hunters, and
h could be from out of state," the deputy said. "We may
pave a _vhale of a time finding out who he is, #f we ever
{do." .

U.S. Attorney

Mr, Pitkin
| | FBI agent, Los Angeles, b6
has suggested that I write you for bic
information he could not supply.
There is Lbili tI will be
asked by an on

the D.B. Cooper Nov. 24, 1971 Northwest
Airlines hijack. .

Am I correct that this coming Nov. 24
Cooper, if still living, will be home
free under which statute of Limitations?

If so, at what hour and date will it be
effective? on

What will be the effect of it? Will he
be free from arrest and prosecution?

Also, will the $200,000 become his,
to spend freely and without further attempts
of recovery by Federal, airline, bank or
insurance agencies?

Am I correct that under a Minnesota
Supreme Court 1975 ruling Northwest Airlines'
insurance company reimbursed the airline
for $180,000 of the $200,000? If so, why
just $180,000? And, what was/is the status
of the unreimbursed $20,000?

At the effective moment of the Statute
of Limitations will your office and the FBI
both 'close' the case? Fully, or in what
respects?

i understand that in seeking leads on the
$200,000 your office, or FBI, circulated 34
Pages of ransom note bill numbers. Have any

of the bills appeared, anywhere?

Re Bureau airtel to Seattle et al, dated 5/5/76.

Enclosed for Minneapolis Office is one {(1) copy
of referenced communication.

Minneapolis is requested to immediately contact
officials at Northwest Orient Airlines in effort to determine
their interest in possibly providing the necessary reward
money referred to in referenced communication. In contacting
Northwest Orient Airlines officials concerning this reward,
Minneapoltis should bear in mind that the greater the reward
the more public interest generated. If Northwest Orient
Airlines is not interested in providing such a reward,;the:?
insurance carrier that reimbursed Northwest for the $200,000
taken by Unsub in this matter should be contacted in a
@iscreet manner and their interest in possibly providing this
reward determined.

All other receiving offices should make and forward
to Seattle a List of the names and places of publication of

all magazines and newspapers that might possibly be interested
in publishing serial number listings.

'Malabar VIP'
may be getaway boat

Ata waterfront bar in Papeete, Tahiti, | heard one of the
Imost bizarre sea stories of our time.

Would you believe that D. B. Cooper, who bailed out of 2
'Western Airlines plane five years ago with a fortune in cash,
may be cruising' the world's oceans aboard John Alden's
"Malabar VH" from Dolphin Marina?

"It's our favorite fantasy," yacht broker Dan Streech of
Dana Point said, explaining how "Malabar VII," which left
Marina del Rey in 1970, may be involved in the still- unsolved
mystery of Cooper's successful heist. _

jLauderdale, Florida, after cruising down the *Méxican
'coastline, through the Panama Canal and exploring thei
coastline of Venezuela and Colombia and the islands of the;
[British West Indies and the Bahamas aboard the 54-foo#
wooden yaw) which had won the 1926 Bermuda Race with
designer Alden at her helm and a schooner rig.
"Malabar VII," one of a dozen and a half boats personally

towned by Alden at launching, was offered for sale by the
Streeches who left her in Fort Lauderdale and returned io the
\West Coast, Dan to Dana Point where he began selling boats,
[and his dad to the family home in Arizona.
| "This man who called himseif Mike Selzer decided to buy
Your boat," Dan said, "and he'd looked at a lot of boats. He
may have bought ours because we were.willing to take his
'camper as a trade-in. This was about two months after
'Cooper had made his getaway from the airplane.
"Selzer drove his camper to my folks' home in Arizona, and
they spent a lot of time visiting before he took off for Florida.
i'My dad says Selzer mentioned he had worked as 2 smoke
jumper."
Six weeks after Selzer delivered the camper "nearly new,
with only 2,000 miles on it," Dan said the F.B.I. turned up at
ithe Streech home "and the agents said the man we knew |
Selzer fitted the description of Cooper perfectly. The F.B.1,
men also said some of the money Cooper bailed out with had
turned up In Las Vegas."

"Malabar VIF' with new owner Mike Selzer has never,
rarned up anywhere, Dan added.

BACK PACKING IN FRENCH POLYNESIA

Dan was on his way to the Tahiti airport after three weeks
of hiking around the islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine,
fRaiatea and Bora Bora with a back pack. He'd gone from one]
'island to another as a passenger on the-copra boat "Tapora

'III," hiking days and sleeping nights on the beaches. He said,

Sao

,the land-crabs didn't chew on him (the local rumor that keeps
'yisitors from camping on the beaches} and very few mosquitos)
itook a bite: "I was taking Vitamins B 12 and B 6 and 1
'understand if you do that, the mosquifos aren't interested
'Anyway, I only got one or two bites a day."

He spent about $300 in three weeks (plus $750 round-trip
'air fare from Los Angeles) and most of the places where he
camped were near native huts "and the Tahitians brought me
food." He recalled buying "mostly bread, with lots of peanut
'butter and jelly."

In his back pack: a sleeping bag, a bedsheet, swim fins and
mask, Sterno and freeze-dried food, one pair of long pants;
one pair of cut-offs, a swim suif "and three or four shirts.'

| On Bora Bora, Dan spent two days reading a ship's log kept
by Hans Fleish "at the Oa Oa, or perhaps you spell it Oahoal

neers ee

a

Hotel. Hans caters to visiting yachts and has free hot showers
for boating people. Then he asks them to write about their'
yoyages i in his log. Some people even draw pictures. I couldn' '
stop reading about their experiences!"

' A night at that hotel, with meals, is "about $20," Dax}
tecalled. That's unusually reasonable in the outer islands,
where a room or bungalow may run as high as $95 a night and.
the average is about $50 with two meals. Pou"

lAmericans and Europeans who visit Tahiti often. Quiet,
'charming and inexpensive by Tahiti standards (abou
"$20-$22), it's sandwiched between two American-style loxury
hotels and you can hike over to their white-sand beaches.
One of the charms of the Te Puna Bel Air is its
inconsistencies: I met four women from Sacramento who were
staying there and they had no hot water (I did), I had a wasp
nest on my balcony (they didn't), they had ice in a refrigerator
(I didn't) but I had a bottle of Scotch (they didn't), We pooled!
our resources and soon felt we had a luxury suite.

Also, we met island people who treat the hotel bar and
restaurant as a local hangout. Two of us explored a nearb:
reef with American scuba divers who live in Tahiti, and while
we snorkeled on the surface, they went down 190 feet and
brought up black coral.

; They called it coral whips, and it looked like wire
*coathangers someone had straightened out. They said it sells
'for about $300 a pound focally.

ISLAND-HOPPING BY BOAT
Inter-island freighters offer expeditions for visitors: one is al

. 40-day trip with stops at 116 islands and atolls, and it costs}

about $300. For the visitor on a brief vacation, John Stegengal
of the schooner "Candide," four years out of Marina del Reyy
suggested this one which he took:

"The 'Timi Hani,' a 150 foot diesel freighter, leaves.

'Papeete every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. You sleep on deck with
other travelers, including many Tahitians who sing and dance}
at night, and there are always people playing guitars. ;

"The freighter puts in a Huahini, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora,
Bora and you go ashore and buy food at the Chinese grocery'
stores that are always close to the docks. You cook on deck.)

"The 'Timi Hani' brings you back to Papeete on Sunday or
Monday and you have spent about 700 frances ($10) plus!
groceries , for a week-long tour of some of the most' beautiful
islands in the South Pacific."

as follows:

About noon, August 3, 1976, she stopped to eat
lunch at Smokey Joe's restaurant located at the intersection
of Coldwater Canyon Boulevard and Riverside Drive in the
North Holywood area. She was accompanied by two old and
senile persons, whom she had taken out

restaurant, a couple came in and occupied an adjacent booth.
She stated the couple appeared to be between 30 and 35 years
of age, white, and the female was slender and blond. She was
unable to further identify either the male or female as to
clothing or other descriptive data.

Shortly after the couple seated themselves, they
were joined by a lone white male whom she-described as being
between 27 and 30 years old, slender build, about 5'10" tall,
with neat cut brown hair. She had not noticed the type of
clothing this individual was wearing, but stated that he
was not dressed in a shirt and tie nor was he dressed in
work clothes as she would have taken notice in either instance.
She stated she did not believe she could identify these persons
if she saw them again.

She continued that upon arrival of the lone male
they shook hands and talked as though they were old friends
who had not seen each other for several years, and the man
sitting with the blond female had inquired aboi

Dear Sir:

Glad to know you are still on the job. I do hope your
health remains good,

Last Saturday I called on the Bureau at the Federal Bldg.
in West Los Angeles. I was met with, "Do you-have an

appointment'!? ya polite, young lady asent by
the name of spoke to re and took what informa- bs
tion I had at that time. She explained that the agent who bIC

handled the case was not on duty but that he would call on'
me at my home, f now have more complete information and
would like to dispose of the matter.

Because the Bureau seemed very busy, I wonder if I could

be of assistance in a volunteer capacity. My experience '~
and training has run along the lines of police work, as

has yours, except that I have not risen.to Chief as you
did. I am in pood health, 65 years old, a native of Calif,
and with ancestors in the U.S.A. since the 17th century.

In 1940 I successfully passed the L.A.P.D. Policeworan
examination but did not get an appointment as only 10 were ~
selected and I was number 30 at the time of the examination.
However, I have done work in that Line and also as a store
operative -- mostly at Christmas time. I have also worked
"in the City Schools, a University, as a Church Secretary
and can make myself useful around an office.

May IL hear from you?

In reply to your letter of March 24th, although

recruit a sufficient number of permanent employees to meet
our needs.

If a representative of our Los Angeles Office
has not been in contact with you, one will be in touch with
you in the near future regarding the additional information
you have.

Sincerely yours,
