Who saw the man to buy ticket? «sho took the money bag? tho asked for the ransom?
The stewardess covld have worked it out with a Little help possibly.

thy did not the trailing planes see the jumper if fhe Left the jet as told.

It may be a wea rd idea but I believe the FBI covld 'check that angle,

Re Hi jagked plane from Seattle.

For what it is worth, and on many occasions
has been so completely accurate, we utilized a capacity of hers to
locate missing people and things and she comes up with your hijacker
baling out very close to Oregon Citys or lived

She feels he knows the area, lives/there, has jumped there,
either oa paratroper in the past or more probably as a club member of
@ parachute gange BLOF

He knows a hell of of, about flying, what one can and

cannot jump from, speeds, heights, etc and is probably a pilot himself,
~ 7 Ske would sugzest checking also on any known jumper or
juuper/pilot who left the area in recent years.

This letter is in_confidence Absolutely NO fUBLICITY
please.It is only after watching| Jin this kind
of affair wm coming to pass so frequentiy I prevailed on her to let
me drop you this line.

gent;

Il am sending this letter at the request of the Duty Agent of April 27th. I have mixed
feelings about providing this information since I am not certain that it is totally reli-
able. laifso believe that the statute of limitations may have run out on this case.

In November 1 saw a composite drawing of D.B. Cooper on TV. At that time I was
certain that it was someones | knew. I later talked with the individual and
learned thathe hadbeen[______—_—s(|Wesstern Airlines. 1 also learmed that he was b6

{is ?) a sky diver. He changed careers after bein He left the country b7C .

and went. t "Working
in various locations in the US including Alaska.

In January I took his photograph which is enclosed. Perhaps you can check ee | py
it against your drawings. After this length of time [ am no fonger certain that
the picture I saw on TV does in fact resemble the photo.

One other, very subjective, thing. Although he has been nothing but civil and
friendly with me I have observed that he has a mean disposition with little
provocation.

if you feel there is any merit in pursuing this information ! will then provide
you with a namo and possible location of this individual.

information:

He
typewritten
1979, which

He
this letter

made available an original letter which is
and addressed to him, dated December 31,
is signed D. B. Cooper,

also made available the envelope containing
and a 3 x 5 card which was enclosed with the.

letter and bearing the numbers "5346225496754."

He

stated that he received this letter several

weeks azo and felt upon reading the letter that the

writer was not actually D. B. Cooper, a skyjacker, and

he based this assumption on the fact that the writer
stated the skyjacking occurred in 1969, which is erroneous.
He stated tTnat he was making this letter available in view
of the recent publicity concerning D. B. Cooper.

Xerox copies of this letter and the envelope and

Dear Sir,

I was reading the wednesday edition of the Portland
Oregonian about the finding of the marked bills from the Cooper'
highfacking and noticed the sketch of the highjacker that i hadn't
seen before.I recognized @ great similarity between it and a man
i rode on a bus with from New York City to Spokane last June the 8th,

As long @s we were going to same state we sat together and

'he told me what he had been doing in New YORK,He had been Living

in Nassau on Long Island and doing odd work to get by on. He said'
he had A sister in Spokane and was going there. When we got to Chicago
he bought my dinner and rode the rest of the way with A tourist who
was going as far as we were,

I am 68 years old and living on retirement so it does not
méke any difference about the reward offer being cancelled.f am enclosi
my phone number and address with my name;

Dear Sir:

I have written a book length novel based wnon the D.B, Cooper

It would be appropriate to have an authentic reproduction of the

I am therefore, writing to inquire if I could prevail upon

you to send one to me that I could.use, crediting its source
as the FBI.

RE: TELEPHONE SERVICE AT
COMMAND POST, MERWIN DAM,
(TELEPHONE NO. 225-7151)

On April 17, 1972, the writer contacted[(____]
of the General Telephone Company, Gresham, Oregon,
which handles the telephone service at Herwin Dam to
diseuss the billing of the telephone installed on 3/20/72
at the Command Post at Merwin Dam. It was explained to

Jthat, in view of the heavy use of the phone

to make calls to Fort Lewis, this office was interested
in exploring the possibility of having the entire billing.
made as a Watts installation, retroactive to the date of
installation, if such a billing would be cheaper than
having the calls treated as long distance calis. To make
such a determination, however, the telephone company
would have to determine what the bill is at this time.

] said he would request a special run of the

billing for the above number which would take some three
days as these runs are made every three days and would
telephonically contact the writer or ASAC BIBLER.

advised, however, even if the Watts line
would be cheaper he doubted if it would be made retroactive
at this date.

It also was explained to[___]that we might
consider furnishing his company with a list of calls made
from the. Command Post to various numbers at Fort Lewis and
have separate billings made up.

On April 18, 1972, SA MANNING advised that the
Command Post at Merwin Dam would be totally deactivated
by early noon of April 18, 1972, and he was then calling
the local operator to have the telephone at the Command
Post discontinued as of close of business April 18, = byt of

Cloud cover were unable to obtain the photographs. They will
continue their efforts in this regard.

He advised that the photograph when devdoped will be

On 2/11/72 Assistant Director IVAN CONRAD called
from the Bureau, in response to an earlier call from me, at
which time he advised that (1) the Bureau does not have any
aerial photographic equipment; (2) they do have an agent
with certain expertise in this but they are of the view that
the military has the best equipment, He suggested that the
military be polled to determine if they would take the
aerial pictures and what it would cost us. In addition, in
talking to them determine if it's possible for them to take
' the pictures and give the film to us for developing as a
means of reducing the cost.

I toid him that we had initially arranged for the
Air Force to do it. Then when the Bureau came out with the
airtel advising that we must get the cost estimate first
and get Bureau approval before utilizing Air Force equipment
that we discontinued this effort. However, I now find that
the Air Force had scheduled to take this picture on
2/17/72.

I told him I would explore this further and be in
touch with him.

SA THOMAS J. MANNING

NORJAK

On 1/11/72 SA WICK, Olympia RA, was furnished with a copy of
'the map supplied by and contact was made with the
Department of Natural "esources, Olympia. It was determined that the
entire area outlined by | was the subject of an aerial
survey in 1968, Approximately 30 photographs give complete coverage
of the area in question and are sold at $1.25 per photo, Further
SA WICK is securing, in addition to the photos, detailed maps made from
the photos which can be used in conjunction with the photos for
complete familiarization with the search area as it existed in 1968,
It was pointed out by the Bureau of Natural Resources that there should
be no major radical changes in the area since the last fly over,
SA WICK was advised to purchase the photographs and it is felt the
expenditure of the money for the photos and maps will not exceed
$50 and in view of the magnitude and importance of the search is
a legitimate expenditure of Bureau funds,

The above mentioned maps are being sent to the Longview RA
this date,

In the event it is deemed advisable to make a fly over the
prime search area set out by| lfor a general view of
the terrain prior to a ground search] jat_ Longview,
Washington, |
and extremely familiar with the area of the search, is available on
an hourly or daily rental basis, It is felt that such a fly over
would be advantageous for general layout information on the area
and the cost of such service would not exceed $50 per hour which
sum could probably be negotiated to a Lower amount on a daily basis,

Facilities are available at the Longview Post Office for
mounting the photographs and maps in proper sequence to enable
personnel to be properly briefed on general terrain features and
prime search area and the civil service examining room can be made
available for such briefing,

It is to be noted that in the event interpretation of the
above mentioned photographs in stereo is necessary versonnel at

TO > SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P) DATE: 1/11/72 bes Bs
Ub 4B AGTH: Loe
FROM : SA THOMAS J. MANNING PRET a paar Bae

SUBJECT: NORJAK

Based upon mans received this date at Longview R RA 'pin pointing
a search area where the hi jacker could have landed and anticipating
a walking search to be conducted in the near future in extremely wooded
and somewhat hazardous terrain the following suggestions are being
made,

Once the search date is fixed thismatter be made a Special
with the four California offices, Portlend and Seattle to furnish
four or five agents to participate in the search on a volunteer
basis. The voluntary aspect is being emphasized in view of the terrain
to be searched and the uncomfortable conditions which will undoubtedly
be experienced by the searching personnel.

It is recommended that volunteers be sought from individuals
who have some,and preferably extensive ,exverience in the use of a
compass and hiking and camping experience and who are physically
qualified to spend a period of time in a densely wooded area on what
is essentially a problem similar to a military field exercise,

It is further recommended that the agent personnel assigned
be cognizant of the fact that once the operation starts they WiLL be
required to remain overnight in their assigned searching areas rather
than retracing areas covered to go to and from a base camp.

A List of recommended items to be secured for Logistic support
of this special is being prepared by the writer the majority of
which can be secured from the Army or the Navy at Little or no cost
to the Bureau... ._"
Aerial photographs of the search area as set forth by the
map of | |} plus terrain maps are presently being secured be
in order that the search area may be properly divided for maximum bIC
coverage by searching agents.

It is also recommédded that this search be a completely Bureau
operation involving no outside agencies so as to limit the amount of
publicity which is generated,

It is felt that the prime and secondary search areas, while
in rough terrain, can be adequately searched by a small, select group
of dedicated personnel who ave doing it voluntarily and "the search
will either find the hijacker or lead to the conclusion that the area
pinpointed by all available technical data has been completely combed
or traces of the subject. DB Cooper-32015

Seattle, Washington 98104

Dear Sirs,

Olympic Helicopters can provide valuable assistance to
you as a time saver in your investigations and search
operations. By eliminating wasted travel time for inves-
tigators and for evidence to reach your laboratories,

a chartered helicopter can result in economies far ex-
ceeding the charter cost. A helicopter can also be in-
valuable for searches or surveillance operations.

We have two types of helicopter available for your
charter. The Hughes 300 is a small two passenger
machine that is ideal for beating the ferry schedule,
congested or non-existant roads, or for searches. It
cruises at 80 MPH and charters for $75 per hour. For
Llonger.distances and when you are in a real hurry, our
Hughes 500 turbine powered helicopter is the answer.

It carries four passengers at 140 MPH cruise for $225
per hour.

Respectfully yours,

Re: AIRLINE TICKET USED BY SUBJECT

Investigation should be instituted to learn where
subject purchased the ticket he used to board the
above captioned aircraft prior to its hijacking. Investigation
should then be conducted to back track to develop any
possible information concerning the subject.

Inquiry should be started with Northwest Airlines
at Seattle, to determine if they can provide this information
or where it should be obtained.

Based on the findings at Northwest, the Agent
handling this lead should pursue it and set out appropriate
leads for the field division such as Portland, who might
have that information.

PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71
CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION

For record purposes, I called SAC WHALEY at Albuquerque
on 11/29/71, and told him I understood that there was a
research project at Hobloman Air Force.Base in New Mexico
dealing with the effect on a body of high altitude parachuting
and the effect of low temperatures on a body in case a jump
was made. I asked him to see if he could contact the
person responsible for the survey to give us some notions about
what effect this would have on the man making this jump.

I told him that the weather was clear to 1500 feet,
broken clouds to 5,000, solid above, and that the jump was
possibly made around 7,000 to 10,000 ft. at a time when: the
"total average temperature" was minus 7 degrees.

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 because the 727 is the only
kind of commercial jet from vhich it is safe to parachute."

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

RE: REWARD

At approximately 10:15 AM, on 4/26/72, a male
who did not identify himself, telephonically contacted
the office to inquire as to any reward being offered for

the money paid in the hijack of NW Airline Flight #305.

He was informed that the POST INTELLIGENCER
has a $5,000 reward as part of their "Secret Witness"
program.

The caller, who appeared to be a young coherent

Man, said he wondered if there would be any reward

in addition to that $5,000 for the return of the money
asking whether or not insurance company's who insure such
large sums don't automatically pay a 10% reward of any
money returned. He was advised that if he could provide
information which would assist in identifying and locating
the hijacker that although the writer could make no
promises of any reward, it was indicated that there was a
good possibility that it would be worth more than the PIs
$5,000. The caller stated that he had been told by a
friend whom he refused to identify that a short time after
the hijacking, this person allegedly saw a parachute in the
trees and the caller indicated that it was an area where
there was lots of snow.

The writer asked the caller if he would like to
have some help. I asked him if I should bring a shovel.
He answered that I might need a shovel to bury the hijacker,
if he is still hanging in the trees; however, he further
refused any help.

The caller did not saw when the information was
received or from whom. Attempts were made to have him
come to the Seattle Office and give us the information
he says he possesses and let us make the search but he said
he would either check it out first himeelf, after consulting

a friend of his, who is apparently privy to the same 4S). RICE

On 12/20/71 I talked to SAC HELD in Minneapolis.
I told him that we had made extensive efforts to search the
area where the hijacker is believed to have jumped, without
discovering any evidence of his whereabouts or identity.

The Northwest Airlines people here have advised
that they would be glad to simulate his flight, having'a
man jump to see whether the-crew experienced the same
reaction as recorded on the initial flight, and if the
flight recorder records the same movement of the plane.
If it did not, then it would appear that there was little use
searching in the area we were searching in. If it did have
the same reaction, then we would have to search an area
approximately 2% miles by 6 miles "of virgin timber.

X told SAC HELD I thought it would be well if
possible to have the same airplane used with the same crew
but I did not see any reason for them to actually jump in
the same area since it would be too dangerous and we may
lose the jumper, but I did think it woud be a good idea to
simulate it in an area where the jumper could be recovered.

He advised he had taked to Mr. NYROP about this
and that he had instructed that the crew and plane be put .
tegether for this purpose as soon as possible.

E inquired of him the status of their proposed
offer of a reward and he advised Mr. NYROP had told hin
that the Seattle P-I Secret Witness Program had announced
a $5,000 reward, which was true, and that he would give
consideration to making another $5,000 offer for information
furnished to Northwest Airlines or the FBI, furnishing the
identity of the hijacker and evidence to assist in his
conviction.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 1-76

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535

April 15, 1976

MEMORANDUM TO ALL SPECIAL AGENTS
RE: COMPUTER SUPPORT TO THE FIELD

The main thrust of our computer support effort in the past has been directed at administrative
and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) matters. Jt is now my desire to concentrate more on ways
our computers can support the Agent in the Field. This is fo make you aware of the computer services
that are presently available to you.

The Data Processing Section (DPS) of the Computer Systems Division is responsible for
working with the Field on investigative matters. Agents with specialized backgrounds have been assigned
to this Section and will assist you if some aspect of a case lends itself to computerization. This might be {
a large volume of records (e.g., checks, cash receipts, purchase orders, personnel records, payroll
records, telephone numbers, etc.) that require sequencing, comparing or calculating, to disclose
misappropriations, kiting, lapping, skimming, padding of payrolls, identities of suspects, conspiracies,
etc. If you think the work can be performed more practically on the computer, you should contact the
DPS.

The DPS also offers assistance in the following areas:

1. Brinting records that are in computer form (e.g., records on computer tapes,
disks or cards).

2. Assistance in writing search warrants for, and conducting searches of, computer
installations.

3. Assistance in writing subpoenas for computer records.
4. Assistance in auditing computer records.

5. Assistance in interviewing computer personnel (e.g., computer analysts,
programmers, operators, etc. }.

6. Computerized Telephone Number File (CTNF) services which will resequence
telephone numbers to facilitate setting leads and identifying subscribers.

7. Special searches of the NCIC current files or previous records, in addition
to the normal NCIC service.

The DPS is ready to assist the Field in all future major cases. DPS has developed a "Major
Case Information System, " a prototype of which was used in the RESMURS Case. A similar system is
presently being used in the LAGBOM and ZAPBOM Cases. From this system, the Agent can more readily
determine what investigation has been conducted on the case, and what leads are still outstanding. The
system will also benefit the Agent when writing reports, answering inquiries, controlling physical evidence
and for file review prior to trial.

Part H, Section 3 (pages 28 and 29) of the Manual of Rules and Regulations sets forth the way
to request computer support services for investigative matters. I encourage you to take full advantage of
this service.

Re Seattle airtel to Bureau LU/1/72.

On 11/7/72, interviews were conducted with the

following individuals assigned to the] ] b6
| |, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia: b7C

| |

It was the consensus of opinion among the three
individuals above, each of whom has had considerable
experience with infrared imagery, that efforts to locate
the attache case by this means would probably prove futile.
The terrain, as described, would neutralize any effort,
particularly if tall trees and mouutains are part of its
makeup. Further explained was the necessity for the
presence of heat which would need to be generated by the
object (attache case) in contrast to the surrounding
terrain for successful infrared high resolution photography.
The size of the attache cause provides a poor target for
any type of aerial photography, including visual photography.

| The following background information is being
provided to the Norfolk Division: Unsub had with him prior
to the time he jumped the following:

A. Parachute Back Pack -
B. Parachute Chest Pack: 7

C. Briefcase of attache case

D. Dark overcoat

E. A 4x12x14 paper bag

F. A pair of dark slip-on shoes.

G, Wrap around sunglasses with dark rims.

H. 10,060 $290 bills.

Since none of the above was found when the plane
was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him,
or discarded some of them prior to jumping.

The above-described attache case supposedly con-
tained a bomb. It is believed Unsub threw this attache case
from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous
other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to
jumping, it would fail almost directly in the path of the
aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after
7:42 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24,
1971. The plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles

during this time, bE

In order that this case be given more publicity,
the following leads are being set forth for Bureau
consideration and approval:

1. Mats should be made of the artist's conception

of Unsub so that small publications with limited

, funds can feature articles concerning this matter

4 and include with the story a picture of Unsub
without incurring the additonal expense of having
new mats made (Note: - An editor of the Veterans'

2. If the artist's conception of Unsub is changed

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION Dub ne

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 Bureau advised by teletype dated 12/17/71
as follows:

"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
12/2/71, | |stated that the coneption was not; in
her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested
permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue
and immediately picked out photo #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
photo closely 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's 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 therman depicted in photo KK5-1. -The man in Seed X
KRS-1 appears to be' in his mid-40s while the compasite shows

This case has been reviewed at the Bureau and
the following obtervations are being made in an effort to
assist your office in your investigative endeavors.

The unsub, aS Dan Cooper, at 2p.n., PST,
11/24/71, purchased a one-way coach ticket at the Portland
National Airport, Portland, Oregon, for travel from Portland
to Seattle, Washington, on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight
number 305, which was a Boeing 727 aircraft. Unsub paid for
this flight with a twenty dollar bill and had no higgage.
He occupied seat number 18E on the aircraft and prior to the
time the aircraft taxied on the runway, he purchased a
bourbon and 7-up with a twenty dollar bill from Stewardess

. The aircraft Left Portland at 2:53 p.m.,

PST, however, after it taxied toward the runway for takeoff,
unsub turned and handed Stewardess | jan envelope
containing a note written in black felt~tip pen and which
was on plain white unlined paper and written_in neat, legible
handwriting, This note informed Stewardess jthat
he had a bomb and instructed her to sit next to hin.

Unsub then dictated to her his demands at the
conclusion of which he remarked, "No fuss." Stewardess
showed Stewardess | the demand notes

and then went to the cockpit where she displayed them to the
captain of the aircraft. The unsub retrieved these notes
prior to the time the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington.
She thereafter remained in the cockpit where she prepared
thirteen pages of notes concerning the hijacking and in which
she described unsub as in his fifties. She later said he
appeared to be of Latin descent. It will be noted that one

of the aircraft passengers, | |, believed
uncub was a Mexican-American, She had a short encounter
with the unsub prior to her deplaning at Seattle, at which
time she said unsub did not appear to know exactly where ho b6é
wanted to go after he left Seattle, but spoke of Mexico City, b7C
'Phoenix, and San Francisco. Stewardess | ] then
acted as a communications media between the unsub and the
captain of the aircraft until about five minutes after the
aircraft derarted the Seattle-Tacoma National Airport (Sea-Tac)
whon she was instructed to go toe the cockpit by the unsub.

The airexvaft Inndod at Sea-Tac at 5:46 p.m., PST,
at which time $200,000 in twonty dollar bills, weighing
19 pounds, two back chutes, and two chost chutes wore made
available to him. Tho passengers then wero allowed to deplano
aS wore Stewardess [ —] and another stewardess. This is
nornally a thirty-six minute flight.

Shortiy prior to the aircraft taking off from

Sea-Tac at 7:36 p.m., PST, the unsub informed Stewardess

that they were going to Mexico City ox someplaco
in Mexico and that the aircraft could stop anywhere in Mexico
to refuel, but nowhere in the United States, When unsub was
informed that the £uel would not pormit the aircraft going ta
Mexico, unsub compromised and said he would prefer a rofueling
landing in Reno, Nevada. The last communication had with the
unsub was by interphono at 8:05 p.m., PST, and it was felt
that the unsub depianed from the aircraft at 8:12 p.m. The
aircraft landod at Reno, Nevada, at 11:05 p.m., PST, An
extensive ground search of the area whore it was bolieved
the unsub exited the aircraft has proved negative,

When the aircraft landed at Reno, Nevada, a

chest pack chute and a back-type chute were found on the
plane. The missing chest back chute is a training pack
""dummied up" to look like a good onc. The missing back
pack chute, sometimes referred to as an emergency chute, is
nonesteerable and anyone utilizing this type chute would
have no chance of slowing down or picking his spot on which
to land.

Also located in seat 18H of the aircraft at
Reno, Nevada, was a black clip-on tie which contained a tie
clasp described as yellow gald in color with a white pearl
circular stone in the center, The lahel in the tie bore the

this tie showed it to be a "Snapper" patent type tie. Investi-
gation at Las Vegas indicated that this type solid for about

a dollar and a half, that it was about a year to a year and

& half old, and it was a favorite item for individuals such

as waiters, busboys, and bartenders, Stewardess[__—i|s has
Said that this tie was probably the unsub's and other witnesses
have indicated that he wore a similar type tic,

Located in the ashtray utilized by the unsub were
eight cigarettebutts, seven of which have been identified by
the FBI Laboratory as Raleigh filter tip cigarettes, and the
eighth cigarette is probably the same. These cigarettes are
sold in a "soft pack,"

During the period stewardess[__——s| was with tho
upSub ang in her conversations withhim she related what appeared
to be keen observations concerning him, and which are as
follows;

1) He impressed her as being an executive because of his
dress, special mannerisms, and consideration that he exhibited
for hex while on the airoraft,.

2) In one of the conversations she had with him, she re-~
marked that the parachutes were coming from McChord Air Force
Base at which time he remarked that it was only about twenty
minutes from McChord to the Seattle-Tacoma airport and which
wae apparently an accurate estimate.

3) While the aircraft was in a holding pattern and prior

to its landing at Soa-~Tac, the unsub looked out of the window
and remarked, "We are ovyor Tacoma now," aithough no montion
of this had been made.over the interphone of the aircraft,

4) He displayed an extensive and technical knowledge of
this aircraft and seemed particularly well informed as to
the refueling procedures and fiying in general. He apparently
Was aware of where the oxygen bottles were and Stewardess

felt this information was normally known only by
tho crow personnel. The only function of the aircraft that
he did not appear to bo fully aware of was the procedures
involved in the opening of the rear door and the extonding
of the stairway, Ho likewise appeared to be conpletely
familiar with the parachutes that had been furnished to him.

matches, the cover of which was blue and bore the name

"Sky Chef,"

6) Steowardess[ __—sidlasked him why he had chosen a North-

happened to be at the right place at the right time.

You should place strong emphasis on the fact that
the unsub could be possibly a former employee of one of the
Vest Coast aircraft or related industries, particularly
Boeing aircraft. Theso industries have been hard pressed
economically, causing a number of lay-offs among professional
personnel as well as nonprofessional personnel and fron a
review of the material available at the Bureau, it is entirely
conceivable that the unsub falis in this category. In view
of this, thea following avenues of investigation should be
investigated by both the Seattle and Portland Offices:

1) Contact professional placement agencies, counselors. as well
as @mployment contractors hiring temporary professionali
cuployges,

2) Contact unemployment apeoncies.,

3) Identify and contact professional socicties or
organizations associated with the aireraft industry, boing
alext for anyone that possibly terminated membership or
activity after 11/24/71.

4) The age bracket of the unknown subject could probably
make him a Veteran of Vorld War I2, or the Korean conflict
and in this regard, you should contact Veteran groups and
the American Lesion.

5) Seattle should submit to the FBI Laboratory the black
clip-on tie and clasp found on the aircraft at Reno, Nevada,
and request the FBI Laboratory to examine this material for
soil and dust particles in an effort to possibly pinpoint
the avea of the country from which the unsub came from,

Re: Bureau airtel to Seattle, 5/17/72.

Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced
airtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was
conducted by the writers from May 22 ~ 26, 1972. Among
files reviewed were main volumes, numbers "1-47, subfiles
designated for a particular area of interest, i.e. parachutes,
witnesses, course; I-A volumes and numerous suspect sub-
Files. In addition, physical evidence as available was
reviewed for pertinent investigative leads.

Information set forth following the file review
has been arranged according to the headings used in the
table of contents foind in the report of SA CHARLES E.
FARRELL, dated February 16, 1972, with the exception of
a brief hijacker profile.

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

An examination of the tie by the writers revealed
noticeable amounts of dust lodged in the inner knot area. ~
In addition to the markings "3 Fenneys",two other labels
were found as follows: "Snapper Pat. 2972750. It's a snap
te snap on"; and "100% Dacron Polyester Washable RN 16484",
From writers? experience in Theft Fron Interstate Shipment
cases involving Penneys merchandise, it is known that the

ARTIST'S SKETCH i

A veview of the testimony of the principal
witnesses, including the 3 stevardesses, the 2 Northwest
Aivline employees (NWA) at Portland, Oregon, and the 5
passengers reflects a general disagreement mncerning the
aceuracy of the artist's sketch. Numpous chanses were sug~-
gested by these witnesses and some were inplimented in
making up the final artist's sketch. It is noted that a
Bureau artist personally interviewed the three stewardesses
at Minneapolis, Minnesota and thereafter prepared a re-
vised sketch of the hijacker showing hin with the dark flasses,
which he wore on the airplane, and another sketch, but
without the plasses. One key witness, | ls
stewardess, was very adament in her insistence that the
artist's conesption was not a very good likeness of the
hijacker.

It is reaommended that a Bureau artist be flown
to pertinent divsions, including Minneapolis, Seattle and
Portland, and spend sufficient time with the key witnesses
until an artist's sketch which is agreeable to the majority
of the witnesses can be obtained,

it is recommended that the Color Selection Guide
be used to provide details and depth not ordinarily shown
in black and white sketches.

It is recommended that the Bureau artist sketch
hijacker showing the full face, full face with dark glasses,
side profile, and a sketch showing the hijacker in a standing
position... All the sketches should be in color.

In addition to the facial identification guide,
color selection guide, the following items should accompany
the Bureau artist and assist him in preparing the sketch:

i. The FBI Lab should provide a color profile from
the single hair sample submitted previously by the Las
Vegas Division, following its discovery on a head towel
presumably used by the unsub.

2. The following photographs of "strong suspects"
which witnesses have commented about as having the correct
eyes, ears, ete., shonld be included:

b6
b7C

Prior to sending the Bureau artist to the various
divisions, it is recommended that a letter of appreciation
from the Bureau be sent to ail pertinent witnesses, ex-
pressing Bureau appreciation for their time and effort and
indicating desires regarding artist's sketch.

Following the obtaining of an acceptable color
artist's sketch, widespread use of these should be made in
the following ways:

1. Consideration should be given for another
general mailing of new sketches to all law enforcement . :
agencies, banks, ete, that.received the old sketches in

previous mailings.

DB Cooper-32173

==== Part 74 · PDF page 255 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-32174 ====
SE 164-81

2. Television and newspaper sources should be
recontacted and brought up to date with the new sketches.
These sketches, additional news releases, copies of
ransom lists as prepared by the Crime Reaords Division,
should be provided te all television and newspaper sources.
Space for a color insert in at least one of the major news-
papers having daily circulation in Seattle, Portland, Las
Vegas, San Francisco and Les Angeles should be purchased.
This insert should contain material prepared by the Crime
Reeords Division and include all four new artist's sketches,
pertinent background information and other interesting news~
worthy developments, in order to promote widespread public
interest resulting in new suspects and possible recovery of
some of the ransom money. It is noted that expenses for a
newspaper format for ransom lists and accompanying back~
ground information were estimated at actual costs of $1,690
for the Seattle Times, Seattle, Washington. Color would,
undoubtedly, cost more. Bureau Exhibits Section may be able
to cut costs considerably by preparing all material uniformly
prior to submission to major newspapers.

As a source of continuing value, it is recommended
that display or window space be rented for a period of
not less than six months at major airports in Seattle,
Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, and
that the Exhibits Seetion prepare hijacking displays,
including artist's sketches, photograph models, ranson
lists, notices of rewards, etc. It is hoped that this
would promote a sense of awareness and develop additional
suspects. In view of thea fact that this display may be
done in such a way as to promote airline security and
prevent, or discourage future hijackings, major airlines

DESCRIPTIVE DATA

NATCHBOOK COVER

Regarding the biue m:tchbook cover marked "Sky Chef"
observed by Stewardess | jas used by the hi- b6
jacker, it should be noted that Sky Chef is a chain of b7C
restaurants serving airports. It is recomended that
Portland determine if there is a Sky Chef Restaurant at the
Portland Airport (noting that the Sky Chef Reotaurents usually
have different names) and Portland should determine if this
restaurant gives away blue colored matechbooks with Sky Lai!
Chef written on then. Unsub may have eaten lunch at the ae
Portland Airport Restaurant prior to boarding Northwest
Airlines flight 305 and if so, latent fingerprints may be (~
on a teal ticket (bill) for that day. Portland should ;
determine if these tickets are available for November 24,
1971, and determine feasibility of obtaining latents.

OLIVE OR LATIN COMPLEXION

we

a!

Key witnesses generally apres that unsub had an
"olive or Latin" conplexion. One witness indicated a
Hexican~American or possibly Indian complexion and
characteristics. In addition, unsub expressed a desire to
fo "anywhere in Mexico",

It is recommended that all divisions having a
concentration of Mexican-American extremists, ineluding
Chicanos, Brown Berets, review extremists albuts. It is
further suggested that revised colored sketches, when
obtained, ba shown to all pertinent Mexican-American sources,

SE 164-61

i. How did the hijacker secure the money? Did wind

he appar to be going to junp while holding the money rae D6
package by a handle or did he fix a knapsack arrangement: Ze

2. What was the position of the hijacker when
last saw him as she left the rear of the
airplane for the last time? What did the hijacker
have around his waist? Was the hijacker attempting to
secure himself to the plane by using parachute cords in an
attempt to prevent being pulled out of the airplane when
opening the rear door? Did the hijacker express a fear
to the stewardess that he would be pulled out of the door
prematurely?

Experienced parachutists have advised that attempts
to hold the money without adequately securing it would
probably not be sufficient, Attempts by unsub to secure
himself to the plane prior to openine ght rear door of the
aircraft would indicate a fear of being sucked out of the
aircraft as the stewardess feared. This would indicate
a lack of knowledge about the Boeing 727 and aircraft in
general,

3. What was the level of education of the hijacker
a6 measured in terms of speech, prammar, and mannerisms?

AIRPORT, FLY GROUPS, FLIGHT SCHOOLS
PARACHUTE CLUBS

In a teletype from San Francisco dated November
26, 1971, San Franeciseo advised there was no record in files
of U.S. Parachute Association, 651 Cannery Row, Monterey,
California for names of BD. B. COOPER, | | b6

It is reconnended that sources in Washington and
Oregon be contacted concerning the sale op theft of that
amount and deaeription of dynamite in a time period of
up to two weeks prior to November 24, 1971. Sources to be
contacted would be such as construction firns, public
utilities using dynamite, hardware stores and police
departmonts and sheriff's offices concerning reports of
theft of dynamite.

HIJACKER PROFILE

—

Hijacker''s clothes may have been unfashionable, a"
Since he was wearing a black thin (out of style) snap-on
tie and tie clasp. Hijacker's briefcase was described as
""eheap"™ style.

Hijacker's language usage indicates at least a __-
mnodorats level of education Chigh school or higher),

Hijacker drinks bourben and 7-Up, and snokes on
Raleigh ciparettes.

Hijacker did not appear to be an experienced
professional criminal (reportedly his behavior becane
childish following receipt of money.) The hijacker wa tee
familiar with the Seattle area because of sever] comments
he made, such as "we are over Tacouz now" and "McChord
Air Foree Base is only 20 minutes from SeaTac Airport."

Hijacker did not provide instructions to control a
air speed, nor to control the direction by _ degree of air-
eraft and, therefore, would not have been | able to control
his drop zone. This would eliminate theories involving a
pickup by an accomplice.

Hijacker beran immediately attempting to prepare

for jump shortly after lift off at SaTac Airport, Because WA

the money was not in a knapsack and ready for jusping and

because of problems encountered in opening rear door, hi-
jacker may have been delayed in making jump. It is possible

xhat the hijacker wished to 'jump much nearer Seattle or
acona.

' }) @ Y )

SE 164-81

Hijacker was probably not a sporting parachutist -
ao he relied completely on airline personnel to furnish a
any type of parachute equipment available, As a result, he

was furnished a chute that would open quickly with a good
possibility of tearing, a high rate of descent and non-
steerable. One chute he jumped with was a dummy chute and

would not open. A parachutist with considerable exper-

ience would have been more specific in the type chutes
requested.

Above suggestions have been set forth in hopes
that investigative efforts of this important major case
might be implemented and case brought to an early Logical
eonelusion.

ACTING DIRECTOR, FBI (164~2111)
FROM : SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (-P-)
SUBJECT: NORJAK

Re Bureau airtel 5/17/72.

Pursuant to instructions contained in referenced
aixtel, an extensive file review of captioned case was con-
ducted. Among the files reviewe were the main volumes,
numbered 1 through 47, sub-files designated for particular
areas of interest, i.e., Parachutes, Witnesses, Course, 1-A
volumes and numerous suspect files. In addition, an examina~
tion vas made of all physical evidence being maintained at
Seattle, for pertinent investigative leads.

As a resuit of this review, the following sugqestions
are being proposed:

»- REWARD: This case has generated world-wide attention and

many suspects have been suggested and are continuing
to be received. However, since nothing of value has yet been
developed, it is felt that the prospect of a substantial
reward for information leading to the identification and
conviction of this hijacker, might entice someone to come
forward and name the hijacker.

fo be realistic, the reward would have to be
attractive to the person furnishing the information and
therefore, a sum of not less than: $25,000 is recommended.

The reward money could be provided either by the
Department of Justice, or by the airlines, or by both. The
only reward at the moment is $5,000, offered by the Seattle,
Washington newspaper SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER "Secret
Witness Program."

SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES: Since nothing was found in the search
conducte' by the Army in March and

April, 1972 of the probable drop area in southvestern

Washinaton, it nov annears quite possible that the hijacker

escaped safely and might have secreted the money in a

safe deposit box.

It is recommende' that nation-wide circularization
be made of all banks, savings and loan associations and
conmerical companies offering this type security. Tach
such location vould be furnished with a description of the
subject and the artist's conception showing the hijacker
with and without the glasses.

THE BOBING COMPANY: In 1963-1964, The Bocing Comnany had
a team of 20 to 30 engineers and test
pilots experimenting with the air stairs of The Roeing 727
to determine the plane's adaptability for dropping cargo
or personnel. In the tests conducted the air stairs vere
removed and packages were dropped from the plane using an
especially desiqned chute. | |

The Boeing Company has furnished the names ef their
employees who were involved in that experiment and investi~

gation is being conducted to determine if one of these could be
the hijacker. They are also being interviewed for any info they

May have as to the identity of the hijacker.

Seattle is continuing to screen suspects in this
matter, which are received from various sources and will
give expedite attention to any worthvhile information
obtained.

On 12/20/71 I talked to SAC HELD in Minneapolis.
I told him that we had made extensive efforts to search the
area where the hijacker is believed to have jumped, without
discovering any evidence of his whereabouts or identity.

The Northwest Airlines people here have advised
that they would be glad to simulate his flight, having a
man jump to see whether the crew experienced the same
reaction as recorded on the initial flight, and if the
flight recorder records the same movement of the plane.
I£ it did not, then it would appear that there was little use
searching in the area we were searching in. If it did have
the same reaction, then we would have to search an area ~
approximately 2% miles by 6 miles of virgin timber.

I told SAC HELD I thought it would be well if
possible to have the same airplane used with the same crew
but I did not see any reason for them to actually jump in
the same area since it would be too dangerous and we may
lose the jumper, but I did think it would be a good idea to
simulate it in an area where the jumper could be recovered.

He advised he had taked to Mr. NYROP about this
and that he had instructed that the crew and plane be put
together for this purpose as soon as possible.

I inquired of him the status of their proposed

offer of a reward and he advised Mr.

NYROP had told him

that the Seattle P-I Secret Witness Program had announced ,
a $5,000 reward, which was true, and that he would give

. consideration to making another $5,000 offer for information
furnished to Northwest Airlines or the FBI, furnishing the
identity of the hijacker ang evidence to assist in his

conviction. _~

Por record purposes, I called SAC WHALEY at Albuquerque
on 11/29/71, and told him I understood jzhhat there was a
research project at Hodloman Air ForcesxBase in New Mexico |
dealing with the effect on a body of high altitude parachuting
and the effect of low temperatures on a body in case a jump
was made, I asked him to see if he could contact the .
person responsible for the survey to give us some notions about
what effect this would have on the man making this jump.

I told him that the weather was clear to 1500 feet,
broken clouds to 5,000, solid above, and that the jump was
possibly made around 7,000 to 10,000 ft. at a time when: the
"total average temperature" was minus 7 degrees.

SA THOMAS J. MANWING

NORJAK p
Based upon maps received this date at Longview RA pin pointing
a search area where the hi jacker could have Landed and anticipating
a walking search to be conducted in the near future in extremely wooded
and somewhat hazardous terrain the following suggestions are being
made.

Once the search date is fixed thismatter be made a Special
with the four California offices, Portland and Seattle to furnish
four or five agents to participate in the search on a volunteer
basis. The voluntary aspect is being emphasized in view of the terrain
to be searched and the uncomfortable concitions which will undoubtedly
be experienced by the searching personnel,

It is recommended that volunteers be sought from individuals
who have some,and preferably extensive,experience in the use of a
compass and hiking and camping experience and who are physically
qualified to spend a period of time in a densely wooded area on what
is essentially a problem similar to a military field exercise,

It is further recommended that the agent personnel assigned
be cognizant of the fact that once the operation starts they will be
required to remain overnight in their assigned searching areas rather
than retracing areas covered to go to and from a base camp.

A list of recommended items to be secured for logistic support
of this special is being prepared by the writer the majority of
which can be secured from the Army or the Navy at little or no cost
to the Bureau,

Aerial photographs of the search area as set forth by tte
map of | |plus terrain maps are presently being secured b6
in order that the search area may be properly divided for maximum BIC

coverage by searching agents.

It is also recomm@édded that this search be a completely Bureau
operation involving no outside agencies so as to Limit the amount of
publicity which is generated.

It is felt that the prime and secondary search areas, while
in rough terrain, can be adequately searched by a small, select grouv
of dedicated personnel who are doing it voluntarily and the search
will either find the hijacker or lead to the conclusion that the area
pinpointed by all available technical data has been completely combed
for traces of the subject.

Memorandum

TO: SAC, SRATELE (164.81) (P) pate: L/11/72

FROM : SA THOMAS J. MANNING

SUBJECT: NORJAK
On 1/11/72 SA WICK, Olympia RA, was furnished with a cony of

the map supplied by ] and contact was made with the
Department of Natural "esources, Olympia. It was determined that the
entire area outlined by| Jwas the subject of an aerial

survey in 1968. Approximately 30 photographs give complete coverage

of the area in question and are sold at $1.25 ver photo. Further

SA WICK is securing, in addition to the photos, detailed maps made from
the photos which can be used in conjunction with the photos for
complete familiarization with the search area as it existed in 1968,

It 'was vointed out by the Bureau of Natural Resources that there should
be no major radical changes in the area since the last fly over,

SA WICK was advised to purchase the photographs and it is felt the
exvenditure of the money for the photos and maps will not exceed

$50 and in view of the magnitude and importance of the search is

a legitimate expenditure of Bureau funds.

The above mentioned maps are being sent to the Longview RA
this date,

; In the event it is deemed advisable to make a fly over the
prime search area set out by| | for a genaral view of

the terrain i > ind search| Lat Longview,
Washington, [

and extremely familiar with the area of the search, is available on
an hourly or daily rental basis. It is felt that such a fly over
would be advantageous for general layout information on the area
and the cost of such service would not exceed $50 per hour which'
sum could probably be negotiated to a lower amount on a daily basis.

Facilities are available at the Longview Post Office for
mounting the photographs and maps in proper sequence to enable
personnel to be vroperly briefed on general terrain features and
prime search area and the civil service examining room can be made
available for such briefing.

It is to be noted that in the event interpretation of the
above mentioned vhotographs in stereo is necessary personnel at .
the Battleground District office of the Department of Natural Resources"
are.available with sufficient mhoto copies to perform this task,

Re: SEARCH

U.S. ATR FORCE SR-71 AIRCRArT

The Sacramento Division in a telctype dated
12/3/71 (Ser. 550) adviscd that Beale AFB, California,
had offered, free of charge to the Bureau, use of an
SR-71 aircraft to photograph terrain over which
the hijacked airplane had flown on its trip to Reno.

This aircraft vas described as an extremely
sophisticated acrial reconnaissance plane which would
photograph a strip 20 miles wide with photographic resolution
of detecting cbjects on the ground 2 feat sauare. Theo
film strip would then be reviewed by trained and qualified
U.S, Air Force personnel.

Due to weather conditions along the route, being
inclement at times, the flight never was made,

On 1/10/72 the writer contacted SAC JOHN WILLIAMS,
Sacramento, and explained the results of the experiment
on 1/6/72. Mr. WILLIAMS was requested to have the Air
Force contacted to see if the flight could be made only
over the State of Washington and perhaps from the Columbia
Rivor to a point some 30 miles north. He vas also asked
if the Air Force could advise what ve could expect of such
an over flight in the way of information which would be
helpful in the search of this terrain.

In response ta the above call, SA [| } b6
who has been handling the hijacking case at Sacramento, b7C
advised he had contacted Beale AFB and made the request
for the ovor flight and that he would attempt to determine
if it could be made, noting that weather conditions still
are effective.

Copies of the revised map of the area to be searched a
vore forwarded the night of 1/10/72 to Sacxanento. /6

00: SEATTLE

ReButelcal to Seattle 3/30/77.

Enclosed for Seattle are' Xerox copies of missing
person index cards which Generally fit the description of
captioned unsub. .

In connection with captioned investigation it was
suggested by the Criminal Investigative Division that a
manual search of the missing persons indices be conducted
here at FBIHQ Identification Division. Approximately 5200
cards containing information regarding missing persons
were reviewed in an effort to identify logical suspects who
were reported as missing at about the time the hijacking
occurred. Identification Division personnel were furnished
with a composite description of Dan Cooper and as a result
the below listed white males were déveloped as suspects.
Each of the individuals were reported as missing during latter
1971 or 1972.

This search was based upon the presumption that
unsub may have perished during the jump from the aircraft .-
and that some relative somewhere may have filed a missing
person report. . ;

On 3/29/77, | Jat
FBI HQ, advised that he has had the Bureau of Missing Persons
file reviewed for the months of November and December of 1971
and all of 1972. There were approximately 5,166 persons in
this file and from that number he was able to determine that
approximately 20 were of the approximate general description
of UNSUB in this matter.

[|Jstated he would have the fingerprint cards
for these 20 suspects pulled and have their fingerprints com-
pared to the NORJAK latents on file in this matter.

.

[__|stated at the end of this poarch he would ad-

vise the Seattle Division of the results. advised that
it was his intention to take any potential suspects still re-

maining and thoroughly process him as a suspect in this matter.

Finally L__lexplained that he could eliminate half
of the missing persons because they were female and a great
portion of the remaining because of age differences between
them and UNSUB in this matter. In addition to age differences
there were others eliminated because of race,
