RE: GENE MORRIS DAVI spect

and driver's license would indit¢ate he had an address of

10622 8th N.W., and was associated with the busines office

of the Seattle Times, was in Yamhill, Oregon, where he

He was born 9/27/16, is 5'9" tall, weighs 180 lbs.,
has blue eyes and wore glasses. He had a substantial
amount of more money sticking out of Ehe pockets of a tweed

with the Seattle Times.

AFTER talking to| | be
[ | of the Seattle Times, I called and b7c
advised that DAVIS formerly worked for them as a mail clerk and a 4
multilith machine operator, but when they found that he was
waing their mailing machine for his own use and thereby defrauding
the company, he was fired. His current address is P.O. Box

| described DAVIS as some kind of a nut, b6é
who was se iting some health-type apparatus, pretends to be a bIC
lecturer on hypnosis and allegedly had developed a cure for
heart diseases. He is a former professional football peedabT

and at one time owned a small paper. | -Gs7

Bufile 164-2111

For information of Seattle, on 5/29/79, | |
[| Lewis River News, Woodland, Washington, telephonically
contacted the Portland Office to furnish the following infor-
mation:

Since the hijacker in this matter parachuted from
the Northwest Orient airliner in the vicinity of Woodland,
Washington, his newspaper has monitored the investigation
and the readers have followed it with interest. He wondered
whether there had been any recent developments in the investi~
gation, and he was advised that investigation was continuing
to identify and process logical suspects.

[_Jadvised that he understood there was a dis-
crepancy between the name "D. B. COOPER" by which UNSUB is
generally known and the name "DAN COOPER" by which UNSUB was
also known. The reason for this discrepancy, which was an
error in reporting made by an Associated Press reporter
on the.night of the hijacking, was explained to[__ }

then advised that recently a crude homemade
gravestone had been discovered in a Woodland cemetery. This
gravestone was made of concrete, and had the name "D. B. COOPER"
Scratched into it. The gravestone did not mark an actual grave,
and was obviously merely a prank.

The above is for information of the Seattle Division.

two and one half years ago, while in Hood River, Oregon, he had
a conversation with an individual regarding "D.B. COOPER." This
individual indicated he had been a paratrooper in the Army.
During the conversation, this person became upset and nervous

a photograph in a local newspaper (composite), and that it was
very similar to the individual he had talked to in Hood River.
advised he does not know the, person's name or where he
lives. He advised that he probably could find out if went back
to the Hood River area. He advised that this individual possibly
worked at a plywood mill in Hood River. [[__] advised he
could offer no further information of value regarding this
indivdiual or of captioned matter. .It is noted that the Portland
Office has received numerous leads from the Hood River, Oxegon,
area, concerning this matter, principally because of the residence
there of the individual who originally furnished .
information alleging that unsub and DAVID BRYANT COFFELT were
identical. That individual has persisted in his allegation that
COFFELT was unsub despite the fact that his original story does
not square with the known facts of the case.

In view of the ahove circumstances, it does not appear

mation:
Approximately four to five years ago, he was fishing
on Lake Merwin, located near Woodland, Washington. While
doing so, he found a piece of nylon cord in the lake, which
was badly deteriorated. This cord was white in color and it
was his opinion that it was part of an old ski rope, inasmuch
as it had a mechanical weave, much like a ski rope. He stated
that at first, he became quite excited when he saw the cord,
thinking that perhaps it was from a parachute, but he realized
the cord was not twisted like a parachute cord. He stated
that because of this, he then threw away the cord.

of JACK BRYANT COFFELT (now deceased), advised that photos
of BRYANT COFFELT as obtained by SA C. ROBERT STRANGER
of the Los Angeles Division of the FBI were similar in
appearance, but she did not think the individuals in the
photographs were identical to JACK COFFELT. She advised
that JACK COFFELT always wore horn-rimmed glasses as
compared to the regular frame glasses as displayed in
the one photograph; and in addition, JACK COFFELT did not
display the smoking mannerism of having his cigarette
dangling from his lips at center mouth as depicted in the
other photograph.

She further advised she still has one photo of
JACK COFTELT somewhere which she has displayed to the FBI
in Honolulu in the past, and she will make it available ,
again for comparative purposes. She stated, however, she

Dear Sir:

Sunday's Lexington Herald-Leader carried a lengthy. article
about the skyjackipe of a Northwest Orient plane going fxom
Portland to Seattld nearly five years ago. The skyjacker

gave the name Dan Gooper. It is about that crime that I am

writing. led¢- Y-s

| jthe United: Methodist CHUECY IN DINGIty, KENTUCKY; "7
(Casey County) for seven yez vS. Very soon after the sky~

Jacking a man namned| |] care to the community and
started buying farms, businesses, etc. Manv wondered where
he got his money. I believe that he had a doctorate degree
in education ~ taught in a, unkversity in the state of
Oregon anc also taught at the fommerset Comnunity for a
while after coning to Liberty.!The thought has often come
to my mind that there may just be a connection hetween the
crime and his sudden appearance in Liberty with a lot of
money. This tip may prove to be of no help but I did want
to tell you.

I have been gone from Liberty since June '75 and am told
that |no lLoneer lives there. He dods have relatives
there. harry Nowmer, Chief of Police can provide you with |
additional information should you wish to pursue this.

The following outline is the result of many hours of research

by| _ | and we be- x

Live that this information will lead to the arrest and conviction

of "Dan B. Cooper", and the return of the money taken,
Dan B. Coopers "ILLUSIONS"
A. The public and the FBI believe the following:
1. On November 2h, 1971 Northwest Orient flight 305 left
Washington DC for Portland Oregon, then Seattle Washington,
2, Shortly before landing in Seattle a note was given to
a stewardess to relay the following information to the pilot
ae I have a bomb in my briefcase;
bd. Do the following: Relay I will exchange all 36-passengers

for $200,000 in tienty dollar bills, and h parachutes.

3. All the passengers, plus 2 stewardesses were released in
exchange for the above.

h. Money and chutes on board, Cooper positively identified
as being on board the aircraft «+ Aircraft now lifts off.

a. 8 fighter jets now tail the aircraft at slow speed, with

the door in the tail section of the aircraft open, 'all the way
to Reno Nevada.

" 1. ALL the fighter pilots report that no one left the aircraft

b. The aircraft now lands, FBI agents and police engulf the

aircraft and are convinced that Cooper did not get off the aircraft

in Reno Nevada.

ce. Lodigicol assumption is to assume that Cooper had to

parachut off the aircraft between Seattle and Reno Nevada. | o4-8)

of "D.B.COOPER", He further stated that he had arrived at this

was tn cahoots with the crew members of the aircraft, to carry outb7c
a "Mission Impossible" type operation, just to say they had done
it; that "COOPER" left the aircraft with the passengers; that the
crew members had 'tburned** two parachutes on the plane, and had
either burned the money or had concealed it on their bodies when
they left the aircraft at Reno. He stated that "COOPER" could thus
be narrowed to being one of the listed passengers,

] jis quite serious about the theory, and delivers bé
it in a very dramatic manner, obviously having rehearsed portions b7c
of it for the most dramatic kind of-impact. He states he ts going
to take his story to "the press and will call Northwest Orient
Airlines with his theory to énforce its being followed up_properly

It becomes apparent upon reading this file that
during subject's six years of freedom, no employment has
been uncovered, with the investigation reflecting he has
never been without funds to purchase, in cash, numerous
vehicles, provide himself with good living accomodations,
and at the same time support several young female companions.
A general impression is gathered that he is an accomplished

bowler and skater. As a result of these impressions, it
gave cause to review the case entitled "NORJAK," which
ease involved the hijacking of Northwest Airlines, Flight
Number 305, on 11/24/71. From a review of the subject's
file and the NORJAK file, the following similarities were
noted:

Dear

Unfortunately, there remains only a limited number
of copies of the ransom list. It therefore is not possible
to send copies of the list to everyone requesting them.

Might I suggest, if you have a serial number you
wish to check, to contact your local sheriff's office or
bank as they should both be in possession of the ransom
list.

As you know, it is only through the cooperation
by citizens such as yourself that this crime might be
solved. Thank you for your interest in this matter.

On 12/4/74, JIM FRENCH, KVI Radio News, home telephone
746-7606 (Bellevue), telephonically advised the Seattle FBI
Office thatalthough he has not seen the couposite picture of
the UNSUB in this case lately, the description provided by
this writer fits an individual who a few days ago was inter-
viewed by FRENCH to act in a radio show. This individual's
name is RUSSELL (MNU) MOHNEY, a WM, age about 35, dark brown
hair turning gray, 5'LO", 170 pounds, smooth complexion but
not too dark, oval face which tapers at chin, good voice, uo
noticeable accent, and a heavy smoker. He has worked in the
past for a radio station in Anchorage, exact one unknown.
FRENCH advised that one could probably find out through
KENI, Anchorage, or KFAR, Fairbanks. MOHNEY currently is a
writer for Pacific Search Magazine, which is located at 715
Harrison, Seattle, telephone 682-5044. He currently resides
in Gig Harbor, address unknown, but will be moving to Issaquah
in the very near future, as his wife is employed in that city.

FRENCH advised that he only has a "hurch" that this
person may be the UNSUB, as he is the type who would get
satisfaction from any great feat, even if he had to keep it
to himself.

ADDENDUM

FRENCH advised MOHNEY has SSAN 532~30-9193. MOHNEY is
negative in NCIC with this SSAN.

On 12/3/74, an anonymous male caller, Loud and possibly
elderly, telephonically called the Seattle FBI Office and
asked the writer if he was an "authority or a flunky." I
gave him my name and position, and he demanded he be connected
to a special agent. I asked him what information he had, and
he then explained that he tried to talk to SAC JULIUS MATTSON,
FBI Poréland, but could not get through to him. He said
he will mail us a List of questions in a couple of days,
and those questions will deal with captioned matter. He
Said the crime was a "great thing,' and that fifteen people

be there when the Victim plane is #esearched by the FBI.

He would not explain further.

The caller was asked if he will have his name on the

the future if something needed clarification. He said
that he would put a lot of numbers at the end and we conld

AT SIERRA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

On October 25, 1974, Sheriff SAM DOYLE of
the Sierra County, California, Sheriff's Office,
telephonically advised the Sacramento Division of
the FBI that some hunters in the vicinity of Sierra-
ville, California, had located some property which
he wished to bring to the attention of the FBI in
view of the skyjacking case in .which an individual
known as D. B. COOPER parachuted from the craft
approximately two years ago.

DOYLE stated that the hunters found among
other things a haxnass which probably was a portion
of a parachute or parachutes. He advised that there
were other quantities of what appeared to be camping
equipment. He stated that the material found, however,
was extremely deteriorated and it appeared that it
. probably had been exposed to the elements for ten or
more years. He advised that he believed that his
[ Jat Loyaliton, California, has
the recovered property.

On October 24, 1974, | |

tacted the Sacramento FBI Office. [—Jaavised he
was calling to determine if the Sierra County Sheriff's
Office had notified the FBI regarding some items that

mately three miles from Slerraville, California, and

jump suits, and two pair of paratrooper boots.

was determined by his department that the property

could in no way have been associated with the sky~
jacking connected with D. B. COOPER within the past

two or three years. He said there were large quantities
of what appeared to be camping equipment and it was

felt that the property had been exposed to the elements
for at least ten years.

He stated that there formerly was a para-
medic training facility operating out of the Stead
Air Base near Reno, Nevada, and that trainees and
instructors from that facility often parachuted into
and trained in the Sierraville area.

He stated that he was quite certain that
the highly deteriorated property found had been left

ar Sir; ,

. Whether you believe the following information, and how I came to obtain it is a
tter for you to decidd. By rejecting the information, you are still minus $250, 900 and a
njac that has motivated hijacking and mass murdering aboard Airlines.

I am in no way affiliated with 2VIL, or the hijacker "D.3. Cooper." I am a man 03
d, and when the times comes, you will know just how close I am xxtkngxdchhxdoety walking with
d. For the time being, we will let it stand, and get to the point...

° "D.B. Cooper" ordered the aircraft to circle S#A-TAC airport, as you well know.
u also know, although it is not general public information, that a tape recorder had been
und that had been issuing orders to the pilot long after "Cooper" jumped. What you do not Imoq
ut God knows) is WHERE he jumped, and the disposition of the money. His letter to you sometixs
O Was a puyekuipirak psychological blunder, pointing out the fact that he lost the money bag
ter jumping from the aircraft, due to the force of the wind ripping it out of his hand. Before
reveal the locality of the rensom money, (ard I can pinpoint the sp ot where you can recover
!) let-me £112 you in as to "Cooper's" HXS%BX plan of operation. In the first piace, he had
accomplice, whos I will reveal a little later. "Cooper" as you have suspected, is a "fire
mper" for the National Forest Service. The very nake "D.B, Cooper" means, D ouble Back (to)
ooper (Lake)!")

When the aircraft circled around above Sea-Tac Airport, "Cooper" bailed out,
aving the recorder running with directions, etc. He planned the jump so that the wind was
ming from the Southwest at a certain tate of speed, and would blow him toward the North-norsks
&ti His olan was to land in Cooper Lake, not far from Salmon La Sac, a public camping area.
'miscalculated the wind and drift, and landed instead in LAK® KACHESS!

I have shared this information with the F.B.I. and also the Secret Service, Both
ve stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgzes, woul
t you think? The Secret Sirvice is so 'secret, I wonder if they know what is real? Bat that is
side- the point. It is just exasperation upon my part, so forgive me my ravings, will you?

Now to the meat of the subject, as I told the above "sectrity" organizations:
know the exact whereabouts of "D.B. Cooper" and his. accomplice, and also the EXACT SPOT that
ids the money hidden from the human eye. I will go a Little further amd say that Cooper', who
about 35 years of age, ami slighty, or a little more so, hkxam bald, is enjoying the holidays
his leisure with his accomplice, a very attractive ted-headed woman of about the sane age
at has a miniature sized dog as a pet. (A check'of the passenger list at the time of the hi-
ck, and the memory of 'one of the stewardesses will reveal this to you.) First things first!

You will find the two depraved and mad outlaws about four and one half miles in
.a dirt road on the east side of lxke Kachess, which is, by the way, a dead end road. When yor
ve captured them, and as God, even Jehovah the Father, is my witness, you WILL capture then,
d the maximum penalty of DEATH is too good for them, you will then contact me at the above
dress, and I will lead you to the ransom money. I have tried several times to recover it, tut
now know why I have been unable to. "Cooper" left the very unstable paastic explosives in the
g with the money, and only a qualified disposal man should handle it. when the bag is recover,
e The bag is slightly torn and a few bills are missing, but "Ya can't win 'em alli" b6

I am mailing a copy of this letter to a frzénd of mine, | b7C
e Sattle Post*Intelligencer, knowing that he is an honest man, and that he will not foolishly
veal this information for the same reason you won't. Sxepticism, until proof positive has bees
ceived, You have your information, and the rest is between you and God (if you believe God),
between you and the Devil, (becanae he would have you disbelieve so that the murder and abo
ions that are continuing to happen because of the desperado fame of this man has gone uncheckd

| | name, by the way, | | and when thez events
ve taken place, he is to have soul rights to the information and "Scoop." this is the will of
' Heavenly Father. It is also Jehovahits Will that I receive the reward for Cooper, and also fo;
@ ransom money, the total of which, as I believe, is $50,000. Along with that, out of the
ndness of your heart, you will present me, as a messenger of God, with two honorary lifeOtine
gkets to all parts of the world on your airlines, and honoured by other airlines. This is not'
ry much to ask, for I will not use them for my own pleasure, but to spread the good news of
