Re Sacramento airtel to Alexandria, 10/9/73.

For the information of Seattle and Sacramento,
contact with Chief of Police PHILIP HOURTHAN, [Federal
Aviation Administration, Police Department, Dulles
International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia, determined
that he is not aware of any information concerning the
identity >of D. B. COOPER.

Chief HOURIHAN advised that he was only
joking when he stated, "What makes you think we don't
know who COOPER is?", and did not mean to indicate
that he or his department was aware of COOPER's real
identity.

In view of the above, Alexandria is considering
this matter as RUC.

At 2:35 PM, today SRA THOMAS J. MANNING, Longview
RA, telephonically contacted the writer and furnished the
following information:

|

At approximately 2:20 PM today SA MANNING received
an anonymous call at the Longview RA from an individual who
according to MANNING, spoke as an intelligent individual.

This person asked MANNING what the reward in the "D.B. COOPER"
case amounted to. MANNING related what the reward in this
case is, whereupon the caller stated, "That's not enough"

and hung up.

At approximately 2:23 PM, the same individual re-
contacted MANNING at the RA and stated that he has observed
the lower portion of a human body hanging from a parachute
stating that he can see this through binoculars from his
residence. SA MANNING encouraged the caller to give him
more information but the caller refused to say anything
more except that he would be into the Longview RA in about
an hour and a half with some physical evidence in the captioned
case,

XE asked MANNING if he had any idea who the caller
might be and MANNING said his voice sounds familiar. Further
that the caller stated he knows MANNING by sight and in fact
has been interviewed by MANNING in the RA.

SA MANNING was relating the above information to
me in the event this materializes and it is necessary to
saturate the area with Agent personnel for a search of the
terrain.

Daytona Beach FL,
July 8, 1993

FBI
444 Seabreeze

Several times I have seen the "DB.B. Cooper" segment on "In
Search Of", on TV. Each time I notice that the artist's sketch
of "D.B. Cooper" strongly resembles a man I Knew in 1955. He
was one of the USAF aviation cadets at Hondo Air Base, Texas.

He displayed some unusual characteristics for a pilot candidate.
He was disorganized and preoccupied. Though the academic schedule
was posted well in advance, he would study the wrong subjects,
and waS a marginal student. In the flight phase of his training,
he soloed the PA-18 Cub without serious problems, but barely

made it in the more advanced T-6.

On the occasion of his first night cross-country flight, he

made all the required radisc calls (engine start, taxi, takeoff,
and departure overhead on course). But he made no in-flight
positlon reports until he called for permission to enter the
traffic pattern. On questioning, he admitted he had not taken
off;~ he had made the radio calls from his airplane while parked
on the ground at a remote part of the airfield.

Soon afterward, his background check revealed that he|
—

| had this information

been revealed in his statement of personal history.

The Air Force| |

Jas an enlisted man.

In 1971, he was approximately [_] vears old,- assuming he did
not falsify his age in 1954, when he entered the pre-flight

phase of Aviation Cadet training.

I have never mentioned this before, even though I have seen that
program several times. First, the Similarity in appearance is
not too convincing, since it was an artist's drawing, not a
photograph. Second, I didn't Cand still don't> want to embarrass
him or cause any problems for him. Third, I always hoped that
"D.B. Cooper" would be identified. Fourth, if I had to bet on
it, I would bet it is not the same man, because the appear-~-

ance of the artist's drawing is that of a quite common type of

face.

Lf you decide to bother with this, his name is| |. x

colored, depicting the individual known as D. B. Cooper who
skyjacked Northwest Orient Flight Number 305 on November 24, 1971.

judgment, the black and white artist's composite without the
sunglasses looks just like | } John Scott
M ZaNuno died of a heart attack in November, 1974, in Scottsdale,
Arizona, at the age of 59.

She noted in addition to the information she furnished
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Charlottesville, Virginia,
on April 11, 1980, John Scott Maze did smoke cigarettes of the
filter type but she could not recall the brand.

She also noted he was always extremely polite, even to
her whom he did not care for at all.

She noted the composite she identified as looking just
like John Scott Maze, looked like him without the "David Niven"
type mustache he always wore.

She also recalled he alwas talked at a low modulation as
he had an adversity towards loud noise. She added, she talks loud
and that' was one of the things Maze did not like about her.

, [_] advised she has papers and photographs stored away
and if she locates anything which would be of further value to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning Maze, she will contact
the interviewing Agent and'furnish it to him. —

In conclusion she stated in her judgment, the composite
picture she identified is a picture of John Scott Maze, and Maze's
complexion was even more tan than the complexion depicted in the
colored composites when she last saw Maze in person in 1972.

weather and at night, also he waited a little longer than
usual before pulling his ripcard. Adding that his free
fall was about 5,000 of the total 7,000 feet, Which was very
risky doing af night.

He came down about 3 hundred miles away from S.W..
Washington contrary to the F.B.L report that he touched
down near Vancouver Washington,

The first thing he did on landing was bury his chute,-
, he was within five miles of where he had intended in an

fo his projected calculations and his japanese watch,
He wouldn't say whether he had an accomplice oa the.

two parachutes he, had ordered, A stewardess came
back with the money in a canvas bag to where cu.per
was holding another stewardess as hostage in the rear
of the passenger cabin, ,

Cooper checked out the loot, first thing and noticed
that they reeked of duplicating flud, Then the stewardess
made two more trips out on to the run way to bring in

chutes,

. Then one of the fuel trucks pulled up...then he ord«

ered the passengers off the plane, and everyone else into
the cockpit...a middle-aged, executive looking man

started to push his way back through the line into the

something heroic - but he had just left his briefcase

1980, could have been brought to that area By a river feeding
the Columbia River from the north.

The area believed to be the drop zone of the subject in
1971, is described as that area in the State of Washington
bounded on the rorth by the Lewis River, the east by the
Clark County-Skamania County line, and the Columbia River.

River within the above described drop zone that would be
capable of moving several bundles of money or a package
about 16x16x4 inches to the Columbia River would be the
Washougal River. A logical time, if the money came down the
Washougal, would have been during the December 2, 1977
Washougal flood when parts of the river were approximately
ten feet over the normal winter flood stage.

There are several other streams that feed the
Columbia River upstream from the
however, due to size, or the degree of slope of the
streams, it is unlikely that a small package would have
made it to the Columbia. It is also unlikely that a
small package would have passed through Lacamas Lake downstream
to the Columbia.

| Jstated that based on the three feet per second
speed of the Columbia River, if a small package entered the Columbia
River at Washougal, Washington, and floated in the main stream
of the river to the _ } a distance approximately
thirty miles, it would take 14.7 hours. This is assuming that
the package did not tumble along the bottom of the river or
get caught on any snags. °

RE: D.D. Cooper — :

I hed the pleasure, or should I say the opportunity of talking to D.D. Cooper
in Portland Oregon, in a night club, right efter his celebrated Hijacking, in which
he parachuted out of an airplane, and into history.

how he didtnt need the money, only the prestigue of knowing that the F.B.I. could
be had, he stated to me that the F.B.I. only respect a sharp. and wise criminal,
and that the sharper you are the less crime that you do.

D.D. Cooper mentioned to me that the latest pictures of him in the paper were not
aceurgte, and that he was going to have Plastic Gurgery, his words were Cosmetic Surgery.

D.D. Cooper was the coolest man that I had ever met, he seemed so professional;
He talked of pulling one more job, on the level of the great Brinks robbery, this
vas to be done in Las Vegas, because he stated that few people had ever pulled off

money you're talking about, and he said yeah, I know, that's what keeeps me
notiveted,.

I'LL say one thing for D.D. he loves Tatoos, he has them all over his arms, and legs.
He claims that he paid a fortune to have them did when he wes in the army.

I could go on talking about D.D. Cooper all day, out TI must close now;

For D.D. Along with Former President Richard HM, Nixon ere like so many other
self-tortured souls who ere vengeful of the F.8.1I, for turning them down, when
they so desperately wanted to be a member of the }F.B.I.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Synopsis: To set lead for Special Projects Section to conduct
aging of original composites of subject Cooper.

Enclosures: Enclosed for the Special Project Section are two
color copies of a composite sketch prepared by the Exhibits
Section, Administrative Division, dated 1/2/1973, one depicting
subject in dark glasses. Also enclosed is a synopsis of
captioned event to include subject's physical description and age .
as of the date of the hijacking, 11/24/1971.

Details: Above-referenced telcalls with SSA [
Special Projects, has indicated that aging of these photographs
should be possible. A review of the case subfile concerning this
sketch has determined that the original sketches were maintained
by the Exhibits Sections under Bureau file number 164-2111.

These sketches, although not the first prepared by the Exhibits
Section for this case, were determined to be the best likeness of
subject Cooper.

DOJ and the Seattle U.S. Attorney's Office have
recently reaffirmed that the statute of limitations in this crime
is infinite due to hijacking being a capital offense in 1971.
Captioned matter remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S.
history. It is anticipated that the original sketch and aged
sketch will receive nationwide media attention as several
networks, including ABC and the Discovery Channel are apparently
planning to once again run presentations on this case.

ReBuairtel 1/2/73 to Seattle, Denver, and Jtinneapolis,

The color sketch prepared of Ungub in captioned case,
whieh is marked °H" and dated 1/2/78, ig considered by Exhibits
Section at this date to be the best Hkeness obtainable from descriptive
data avaliable. The original artist's sketeh, with and without sunglasses
and desicnated as "A" sketch, was a black and white rendering of Unsub
vrepared iracoediately following hijacking. Subsequently the color sketch,
with and without sunglasses, was developed and marked as °° sketeh.
Although a divergence of opinion regarding certain characteristics bas
appeared in descriotions given by the various witnesses, the consensus
indicates that a good likeness of Unsub is shown by the artist's sketch
and that the '5" sketch with the added dimension of color more accurately
shows the Unsub's age and overall likeness.

In view of the aumerous contacts with tie witnesses who
gappiled the descriptive data from which the sketch was prepared and
the lapse of time since they observed the hijacker, it is felt no conetrue-
tive purpose can be served by further attempts at modification based on
¢ontact with these same witnessec.

Enclosed for each receiving office are two copies of an
artist's conception showing UNSUB with and without glasses. The
following offices will receive more copies because of investi-~
gation in their divisions:

Portland 50 copies
Las Vegas 10 copies
Denver 10 copies
Sacramento 10 copies
San Francisco 10 copies

The intent of this change to the artist's composite is
to more clearly show UNSUB's age and swarthy complexion,

A release of an interim composite (one that had not been
fully evaluated by NORJAK eyewitnesses) in the December FBI Law
Enforcement Bulletin makes it imperative that this final version
not be released to the news media at this time.

This is the only unsolved hijacking; it should receive
expeditious handling with every investigative effort expended to
resolve this matter,

00: Seattle

Enclosed for each agent receiving this memo
is one copy each of a colored artist's composit of unsub
in this matter, one with glasses, one without glasses.
The previous composit was changed to show unsub's complexion
and age more closely.

THE CRIME

A lone white male boarded Northwest Orient
Airlines Flight Number 305 at Portland, Oregon, on
Novembe® 24, 1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while
the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he
indicated to a stewardess 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 Seatite,
Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions.
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 hijacker instructed
that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at
a low altitude and siow speed which enabled the rear door

of the plane to be opened during the flight.

an excellent general likeness of Unknown Subject. This

the only suggestion she would have is that the nose should be

stated that the mouth of the individual she observed on this
flight did not appear quite as full, in other words, was
"a older looking mouth". She indicated she would define
_ "elder mouth" as being very slightly wrinkled around the

lips and not having as full an appearance in the lips.

On 12/1/72, | | NWA, Stewardess, who was ; b6
also aboard Flight 305, stated that she believed sketch "B" b7C
is more similar to the appearance of Unknown Subject than the

by stating in general sketch B was an uxcellont likeness.

follows:

Se pointed out that during her contact with the
Uneub, he foc the most part was seated om her aide so that
ahe eaw only his profile. She never observed him from straight

"- ghead, and mpst of the time he was whispering in her hear, and

therefore, she was not in a good positian to observe his facial
features in great detail. She sdmitted that because of the
time lapse, she is getting somewhat foggy in recalling his
exact appearance and hes locked at the artiet's conception so
often she feels she ia intlienced somewhat by thie. After
abeerving thea naw sketch B, she stated that she likes the
original artist's conception better as being a good resemblance
to the Uneab. She felt that artist's conception B definitely
Was not a good similarity to the Unaub. She felt that artist's

conception 8 wae mot. "min" and his appearance was lost completely

im the sketch without the eungliaesesa. iIn particular, she noted
that the hairline on sketch 2B was incorrect, and that she pre-
fexvred the hairline om the original artiat*s ceomception. She
@tated on the original artist's conception it would be identical

ReSEairtel to Bureau dated 8/22/72, requesting
mats of the artist's conception prepared in captioned matter
for use in obtaining more widespread publicity.

In accordance with the request of the Seattle
Office 8/7/72, a color artist's conception was prepared
and forwarded to the Seattle Office. To date the Bureau
has received no evaluation of this color sketch. Seattie's
request for mats will not be further considered until the
Bureau receives an evaluation by the witnesses of the
color sketch.

For the information of the Seattle Office, Yo:
commercial engravers charge $10 per 50 minutes pilus an
initial charge of $8 for a 4" x 5" plate. These mats will
only reproduce in biack and white. Many publishers both
jarge and small presently use the offset printing process
which does not require a mat.

, The Seattle Office should promptly coordinate
review of the Bureauts color sketch for the purpose of
evaluation, If it is deemed advisable that the mats
be prepared, resubmit your recommendation,

Reurairtel dated 8/7/72.

Bureau artist developed composite drawing of NORJAK Unsub
with sunglasses based on interviews with stewardesses| | bé
and On 11/27/71 stewardegs| while viewing original b7C

sketch prepared, commented that it was "almost 100% like him" and stated
she could suggest nothing additional to make sketch a better likeness,

With reference to photo KK5-~1 in the Bureau's Facial Identifica-
tion Catalog, it is noted' indicated on her initial interview it would b6
bear a resemblance to Unsub if modifications were made. She selected ten bIC
additional photos as resembling various features of Unsub. This plus the
comments and look-alike photos selected by stewardesses(——Jand

went into the preparation of composte drawing with sunglasses.
The sketch was modified to show the eyes when additional witnesses later
selected look-alike photos of the eyes.

The attempt to depict the apparent age of Unsub has proven
difficult from the beginning since witnesses did not describe age lines or
features that lend themselves to the aging process. Preparation of the |
drawing in color may contribute_to the aging factor as well as show the |
complexion color. In view of more recent comments, an . b6
additional sketch in color and labeled "B" hasbeen prepared by Exhibits bie
Section with and without sunglasses. The "B" sketch is based on photo
KK5-1 from the Catalog with changes suggested by[_ sd, Original Set-K
sketch previously prepared from combined descriptions of several witnesses

will be retained in Bureau files. /6V~€/- S34

RE: NORJAE

Bureau Laboratory advises hair sample submitted insufficient
to determine overall hair color. Hair color on "B" sketch is based on

recollection offs b6
b7C

until your office determines whether or not an available witness can supply
sufficient descriptive data for sketch of side view to be made. If this i
description is available Exhibits Section should be advised accordingly. / °

a

Preparation of profile view of Unsub will be held in abeyance /

Advantages offered by full length sketch in standing position
appears questionable. A full length sketch is recommended only if it shows
some descriptive feature that deviates from the average and can better be
described pictorially than written. (foto

Enclosed herewith are twenty photographic copies of "B" sketct
in color. Ten show Unsub with sunglasses, ten without. They should be

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION

Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5-1 in the Facial
Lines Section of the Facial Identification Catalogue, and a

- copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.

The following information is being submitted for.
Bureau review, and the enclosed leads are being set forth
on an UACB basis:

Or 12/2/71, a key witness, | b6
insisted that the artist's conception. was not a good likeness ~ b7c
of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the.
Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out
photograph KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that |
is him, except for the ears and hair." She explained that the
person depicted in that particular photograph resembled
the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude
as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should
be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo
KK5-1. She was very adamant in her insistence that the
artist's conception shown to her was not a good likeness
of the hijacker.

A comparison of the artist' 8 composite. of UNSUB
and photo KK5~1 revealed the primary difference between the
two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much
younger than the man depicted in photo KK5-1. The man in
KK5-1 appears to be in his mid-40s while the composite shows
the. man in his late 20s or early 30s...

"It is expected the Seattle Office will continue
to give this matter close supervisory attention and insure
investigation is conducted promptly and thoroughly."

In view of this, the enclosed information is being
submitted in memorandum form, first for supervisor evaluation
and approval prior to being forwarded to the Bureau for
approval.

A key witness,| ) Was very b6
adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception was b7C
not a good_likeness of the hijacker. In an FD-302 dated

her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested
permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue

Section stating, "that is him, except for the ears and hair."

She explained that the person depicted in that particular

photo closely resembled the man; however, the ears of the

GAC, SEATTLE (164-81) 12/9/71
SA CHARLES E. FARRELL

NORJAK

On 12/8/71, | |of the Bureau advised
that the Director had given his approval for the publication
of the artist's sketch in the publication "PARACHUTIST" as
requested in Seattle teletype.

He advised that a sketch prepared by the artist
of the UNSUB both with and without the glasses, would be
furnished to the San Francisco Office for publication as
above mentioned.

Jalso asked if the entire course of the
flight had been searched. He was advised that the pertinent
part of the State of Washington as well as all of Oregon,

and Nevada, had been checked but apparently the area in
California had not yet been searched due to the fact that the
reconnaissance plane had heen unable to fly the course duc

to bad weather.

|advised that Sacramento should be
inmediately contacted and requested to do a thorough search
of the area, the same to be handled within the bounds of good
judgment.

| Jalso had other questions, one of the ones
he asked was, -

Did the UNSUB use the lavatory he | |
wondered whether he might have taken the money in there to
check it.

He vas advised he used the lavatory before the
passengers left the plane because one of the passengers saw

~ him. He was further advised that apparently he did not

would contain both sketches of this UNSUB, the one with glasses

and one without. Exactly when this would he did

not say. Dzx

supplanted the Rojas dictatorship. As first
president, from 1958 to 1962, he led his coun-
try out of anarchy,

But the coalition government, intent on
long-range planning, neglected grass-roots
politics, and its presidential candidate, Misael
Pastrana Borrero, nearly lost the 1970 efec-
tion. The ex-dictator Rojas, promising jobs,
land, and Jower taxes, almost regained the
presidency via the ballot box. The govern-
ment had to exert firm measurcs—martial
faw and acurfew—to prevent urban violence
by the aging general's disappointed followers.

Nevertheless, the coalition's achievements
have been considerable. One of its officials
offered us a swift survey of his agency's

On 11/30/71, the Bureau sent out a new artist's
conception without glasses and requested we show it to
witnesses. Subsequently I called | Jin Division 6, b6
and told him witnesses [ ] aid not . b7C
see subject's eyes; they saw him only with the dark glasses.

I told him with regard to witness | that this witness
thought the eyes were "good." This witness still maintains
however, that the forehead should be slightly broader; the
nose around the nostrils should be broadened and the cheeks
were to flat and should be made rounder.

requested that we send him a teletype b6
on this and also forward the artist's conception in which our b7Cc
witness had drawn in his suggested changes. This was done.
aoe threw the following out for our guidance, b6
instruction and consideration: -b7C
o L. He said in our initial teletype, page 5, we
have one witness saying that the subject carried a dark colored
attache case and a paper bag 4%x12"xl8". He wonders if this

paper bag could have contained a jump suit and a paix of boots.

: 2. In the same teletype, there was mention that a b6
Ltness ,scuffl ith the subject. I told him that I had b7C
, already Seat this with the Agents involved and this was

a wrong choice of words and that the word should have been

"hassel" and that there was actually no scuffle and the

witness had not had to separate the two, but merely stepped in

to end an argument. / ys 4-8) - al

I told him that we had used only law enforcement be
personnel; that this was extremly rugged terrain and not the, .py°
kind of territory you could lay off in a grid and search ae
minutely at arm's length. He said to include in our next 4"
teletype something about the terrain,

a\ 4. He also said to include in our next teletype
'something about weather conditions in the drop area at the time
the drop occurred.

5. He also wanted to know if we had given ° , 6
consideration to hiring a professional parachutist or make a. CL b7C
simulated drop with a dummy and following it to the ground. a
He wondered if anything could be gained by such a maneuver <2 .

I pointed out to him that anything we did by way of
simulating the conditions would be a very broad approximation
Since we didn't know exactly where the plane was, assuming on
that the hijacker did go out at 8:12 PM, when they felt the,
"oscillation", Since this would vary with such factors as
wind direction; which side of the flyway the plane happened
to be on at the time, etc. He said he understands this but
he would like us to think about it.

chin and cheek bone (of composite photo) are similar to

chin of UNSUB appear as if he had been fat and lost weight,

mouth is also good.

Over-all picture of composite makes UNSUB appear
younger than he actually is.
