Bufile 164-2111

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D. B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a Lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb
which would blow up the plane unless his demands were
met.

The hijjacker demanded $200,000 and four
parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36
passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed
at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the

passengers and two 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 slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the plane

| |"Charlottesville, Virginia, Was .
shown four artists' composites, two black and white and two
colored, depicting the individual known as DB. B. Cooper who
skyjacked Northwest Orient Flight Number 305 on November 24, 1971.°
Po iviewed the four artists' composites and stated in her |
judgment, the black and white artist's composite without the
sunglasses looks just like | } John Scott
Maze, who 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.

[_Jadavised 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.

She continued after he was fired, he never held any
meaningful employment to her knowledge up to his death. She
added after he was fired, he used to disappear for two or three
months at a time and just go out into the wilderness of Oregon and
the state of Washington to be by himself.

She noted he was a "real loner" and had as little to do
with other people as he could.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and
without glasses.

THE CRIME

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to
the stewardess that his brief case 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 Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the
parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all
passengers and two airline stewardesses to PTC iL.

He then ordered the remaining crew Aes LS6E9O

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 slow
speed which would enable the rear door of the-™-=<

(Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight. | | pyc

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where the
plane landed to'refuel. It was determined the hijacker,
two parachutes, and the ransom money had disappeared when 4
the plane was inspected at Reno, Nevada.

Artist conception drawings of the aircraft hijacker
were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are considered
a reasonable likeness. The black and white composites were
prepared initially and sometime later the color composites
were prepared to1 @€pict the hijacker's complexion and age
more graphically.

The hijacker is described as follows:

Weight 170 to 180 lbs.

Complexion Olive, Latin appearance,

a 'usually short, half-hour flight circled and maintained a holding

pattern, as the captain calmly informed passengers that traffic at
Seattle-Tacoma was delaying theis arrival.

As flight 305 circled over Seattle, D.B. Cooper sat alone,
wearing sunglasses during most of the flight, chain smoking.
and ordering two bourbons and water.

On the ground, the FBI immediately began searching for any

information that could tell them who D.B. Cooper was. Without
a psychological history of the hijacker, the airline decided that for

"the safety of the crew, passengers and civilians in the vicinity, all

his demands would be met" Authorities quickly collected the ran=

som monty from several local banks and rushed two military rigs
from McCord Air Force Base in Tacoma to Sea-Tac, But when

Cooper learned authorities had provided military rigs, he said they

"were not acceptable and démanded state-of-the-art freefall rigs.

Meeting the Demands

'That evening, skydiver and master parachute rigger Earl Cossey
of Washington received a telephone call from a business associate '

who also happened co be the manager of Sea-Tac International Air=

port. The airport manager asked for two backpacks and two chest:
pack parachutes as soon as possible—but couldn's disclose the
reason. Cossey admits he wondered about the manager's request.
"But I trusted him completely and did as I was told," he says.

Cossey phoned the focal drop zone at Issaquah, Washington,
and had a skydiver staying at the drop zone's loft collect the.

' parachutes ¢nd hand them over to authorities, He gave them
wo of Cossty's personal backpacks—onie freefall rig and one-
Navy emergency NB-8 backpack—and ewo of the DZ's chest
packs. 'The parachutes were rushed 30 thiles in'a patrol cat from
the drop zone in Issaquah to Sea-Tac International Airport.

In the meantime, flight 305 continued to circle for two hours
above Seattle, waiting for the ransom money and parachutes
to arrive, Although the captain and flight attendants calmly
reassured passengers it would be only a litte longer, some
passengers had already suspected something was amiss,

When flight 305 finally landed at 5:45 p.m. in an unlit and
secluded area of the airport; passengers were told to remain
seated until they got further instructions. As they patiendly'
waited in their seats, the 36 passengers watched as the flight:

'Once the hijacked jet took off, Cooper instructed the flight

It was approximately 8:35 p.m., and the northwest was experi~
encing a heavy rain storm with occasional snow flurries, winds
up to 80 knots and remperarures of 20 degrees at altitude, Weare:
ing a long, flat backpack parachute and chest-mounted teserve'
over his business suit and slip-on loafers, Cooper descended the
lowered aircraft steps. Investigators believe he held onto the
hand rails and stood on the stairs a¢ 10,000 feet in the wind and
tain for up to two minutes—before jumping into the night.

The Missing Man and Gear

The Northwest Airlines co-pilot politely and repeatedly
informed Cooper over the intercom that they had to refuel in,
Reno before continuing: It was only after they landed that the
crew discovered that Cooper; the money, his briefcase, raincoat
.and one backpack and reserve parachute were gone.

'The fighter jets and helicopter that had followed the hijacked
727. in the stormy conditions never saw of picked up on radar
any sign of Cooper or a parachute. As for the alleged bomb, it _
too was gone, According to the flight atcendant's description of
the explosives, the FBI suspected that the bomb was 2 replica,
though they could not say forsure, ,

'That evening, rigger Cossey heard on the news that there was a
hijacking in progress. Stunned at the revelation, along with the _
fact 'authorities had just requested his parachutes, "I thought, 'Oh,
crap! -There go my parachutes!" " Cossey recalls. "I was just ugh:
ing at the stupidity of the guy and thought, 'This guy's nuts.' "

After the jet landed in Reno, Cossey received another phone
call from authorities and learned exactly which parachutes they'
gave to D.B. Cooper and which parachutes Cooper had left on,
the aircraft. "The skydiver staying at the loft had grabbéd two |
of my personal backpacks and two chest packs from the drop
zone," he says.,"One was my B-4 sport rig, and the other was
my Pioneet NB-8, a Navy emergency chute used for pilots."

learned that, in his rush to provide the rigs, che skydiver
accidentally grabbed the drop zone's dummy reserve, marked
with a large "X" and red closing flaps. The DZ used the dummy'
reserve for students to practice deploying the reserve, scooping |

« 'the canopy out of the container and throwing it into the air and,

over their heads. Cossey explains, "For the dummy rig, I cur
the reserve in half and sewed the panels together'so that when
the student threw it out, I could just fold it up and put it back
in the container in half the time." :

Cosscy learned over the phone that Cooper took his NB-8 pilot

emergency backpack and that his freefall sig remained in the air:

guy's crazy." " Cossey explains that the Navy emergency backpack
Cooper jumped with was specifically designed for'pilots for ernere.
gency bailouts at potentially low altitudes. The roufid canopy,

designed for extremely fast openings, didn't have a sleeve, much

like today's slider, to slow the opening. "That rig has a bad open«
ing shock, Ic] just ip your crotch apart," Cossey says bluntly.
Compared to the freefall rig, the emergency rig was made of

2 slick nylon material, had absolutely no padding in the leg

straps and was significantly thinner, "The differences in the rigs
were obvious," Cossey says, "and anyone with any skydiving
experience would definitely cake the sport rig." Cossey adds
that Cooper miy have purposely selected the pilot's rig. *If he
had military experience, he may have used the military rig
because that's what he was familiar with."

An addition to the opening shock, Cossey also wonders if

* Cooper was even able to pull the ripoord, because the ripcord
"for the Navy emergency rig lies very flat against the pilot's chest:
* Cossey says, "The ripcords for the sport rigs were bent up so

you could easily see and grab them. The Navy rig's ripoord is
designed to lic very flat so thiat it doesn't catch on anything unin«
tentionally. If Cooper was wearing his raincoat, { don't know if

. :

he'd even be able to find and pull the ripcord in the dark."

The dummy reserve marked with an X was also gone. Cossey
says, "That reserve was half the density of a regular reserve, and
it was obvious to anyone with experience that it wasn's a normal
reserve." Cossey personally believes that Cooper had emptied'
the dummy reserve, stuffed the cash in its container and wore
that on his chest as he jumped.

The Manhunt

By caloulating the fast verbal contace with Cooper and when
the jet's pressure gauges indicated the back stairway snapped shut
(with the release of Cooper's weight) and open again, investiga-
tors estimated that Cooper most likely exited over the rural and
densely forested town of Ariel, Washington. Fifty-foot fir trees
cover steep hills, rolling down to the 12-mile-long Lake Merwin.

Authorities combed the area inch by inch, looking for some sign
ofa parachute, broken trees ox branches, money or clothing. They

found nothing. How easily something could be overlooked in the

difficult terrain was demonstrated by the fact that two elderly
women found the body of a missing college student who had

been strangled. Authorities had missed it. One wealthy investor,
convinced that D.B, Cooper and the cash ky at the bottom of

the lake, used his private miniature submiarine to search the floor "
of the lake inch by inch. Again, the search came up empty.

News of the hijacking immediately hit the airwaves all across
the United States. As authorities searched the area, country roads
in, Washington filled with cars and recreational vehicles searching
for any'sign of 2 parachute, D.B. Cooper or—especially—the
money. In 1971, $200,000 in convenient $20 bills was an
immense amount of money, equal to about $900,000 today.

The FBI agent assigned to the case from the moment Cooper'
hijacked the Northwest Airlines jet was Ralph Himmelsbach of
Oregon. With his piloting experience dating back to the Army

-Air Corps in the 1940s, Himmelsbach served as the specialise

' for all aviation violations, With the intense media attention,

calls from the public from all around the nation poured in.
Needless to say, skydivers were suspect. "Many of the calls we
received concerned parachitists," says Himmielsbach. "Often,
the subject was a jumper who was also known to be bad, and
that combination gave us particular interest." |

_ Agent Himmelsbach goes on to say, "Many innocent citizens
found themiselves the focal point of FBI interest because of a,

change in lifestyle, participating in the sport of skydiving, a past

heavily forested town where they originally believed Conper jumped:

history of parachuting or just an attitude of thrill-secking that
made someone else suspicious." The FBI investigated about two

dozen skydivers, but every suspect either had an alibi for the nighe

of November 24, 1971, or was simply too young to be Cooper.

The Chances of Survival

Whether Cooper pulled off the jump from the Northwest
Airlines jet was a source of immense controversy among skydivers
at the time. Himmelsbach says, "Skydivers were mixed as to theit
opinions of the potential success of the jump." Some said Cooper
could have easily pulled it off: others said not so because of the
'weather conditions and the jet's wind blast of almost 170 knots.

Rigger Cossey says, "If he didn't have any experience, he
'probably did some awful maneuvers going out of that plane.' I've
seen jumpers spiral violently and never recover. I don't know if
he would have even been able to regain his senses."

Also, Cooper wasn's wearing warm, protective clothing, gog-
gles, a helmet, boots or gloves. He jumped in his business suit and
slip-on loafers. The face that he jumped in a suit and tie—bur not
the fact that he wore orie-—amiazed investigators. In the 1970s,
men and women dressed formally for air travel, and for Cooper to
have done otherwise would certainly have aroused suspicion,

Cooper apparently planned the hijacking carefully, bur it's not
clear whether he carefully planned the jump and landing. Investi-
gators concluded that hadn's pre-planned his exit spor, and
Himmeisbach says, "It's unknown whether Cooper had survival
geat, such as a knife, compass, food or matches, in his pockets."

Military experts advising Himimelsbach noted that 2 parachute
alone is valuable as a survival tool, referring to 2 manual called
"101 Uses of a Parachute for Survival." Other military specialists
$ ted that perhaps no parachute was found because Cooper
buried his gear as soldiers are trained to do.

Effects on Air Travel

Hijackings during this era were commion for political purposes,
and sky maxshals inconspicuously flew on many of the routes.
Bus D.B. Cooper was the first to hijack an airliner for persorial
gain—and the first to actually make a parachute jump from a jet.

Others tried to copy his actions. According to Himmelsbach,
"Half a dozen hijackers tried to pull off the same caper in the
months following Cooper's extortion, but none got away with it.
They either were killed in the jump, overpowered by crew or
authorities or captured once on the ground,"

Beech Bonanza, spent much af his cavers it seaveh of DB. € Oper.

By 1970, pre-boarding screening had been in place in some
airports for some airlines, but generally, as D.B. Cooper did,
passengers simply walked up to the gate and boarded the aircraft ,
with their carry-on luggage. The hijacking of Northwest Airlines
flight 305 initiated mandatory FAA screening procedures, and at
Himmelsbach's initiative, all aircraft with back staircases became
equipped with a locking mechanism called the Cooper's Vain.

Agent Himmelsbach also initiated a regulation mandating
that only FBI agents who are experienced pilots miay interview
hijacked airline pilots. The day of Himmelsbach's retirement, he
learned that the plane actually drifted toward the eas¢ while the
pilot Bew ic manually, The agent questioning the pilot at the
time wasn't 2 pilot himself and did not pick up this information.
Himmelsbach now believes that Cooper exited 40 miles ease
over Washougal, Washington, which prompted his rule.

Unsolved Mystery

Even with the intense media coverage and the enthusiastic
public wanting to help, cach and every suspect, lead, investiga-
tion and search led to a dead end. Months turned into years, and
Himmelsbech and his team were no closer to finding out who
D.B. Cooper was, his whereabouts or the resuls of the jump.

'The largest and most significant piece of evidence in the
D.B. Cooper mystery came in 1980, when a boy and his family
digging 2 fire pit on the bank of the Columbia River uncovered
12 packets of deteriorated bills under three feet of wet sand.
Geologists and hydrologists conduded that the mioney was
deposited there by the rivet and had been in the sand for years.
The $5,880 found matched the serial numbers of Cooper's cash,
bur the other 9,706 $20 bills remain unaccounted for.

The FBI continues to receive and investigate phone calls and
leads regarding the case, and the file is literally cen feet long.
Although Himmelsbach has retired from tht FBI, he continues
to give interviews to major magazines, newspapets and national
and international television programs regarding the case,

The D.B. Cooper ease is the only unsolved hijacking in the
world. This infamous parachutist consumed Himmelsbach's pro-
fessional and sometimes personal life for years. Ironically, he inter
aces with skydivers regularly now, as he hangars his 1952 Bonanza
at Skydive Oregon. He says that pilots and skydivers have a lor in
commion and admits, "I've associated with a number of skydivers
and have usually gotten along very well with them." Agent Him-
melsbach even made a skydive once and says, "I¢ was an enjoyable
experience, but I prefer the power and control of an airplane."

As for the whereabouts of D.B. Cooper todaythat
unanswered question is what keeps the mystery alive. v

Synopsis: To set leads for Jacksonville to collect DNA samples
and Phoenix to interview and possibly collect DNA.

Reference: SE 164A-81 Serial 9277

Enclosure({s): For receiving offices is one case information
sheet.

Details: To set leads for investigation and collection of DNA
samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNAl. This case remains
the only unsolved hijacking in the United States, and is commonly
referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" investigation.

, Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects
have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of virtually
every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated, some required
extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained of interest
and could not be included or exciuded through normal means. To
date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the
aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. As
this was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has advised that no
statute of limitations exists.

For the information of receiving offices, a recent
resubmission of an item handled by the UNSUB in this case has
resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA, which has been deemed
Suitable for entry into CODIS. The DNA examiner has stated that
the DNA likely belongs to the owner/subject. Prior to 2002, no
DNA possibly associated with subject COOPER was available.

appropriate by interviewing Agent. No mention should be made of
the specific source of possible COOPER DNA.

DNA samples sought in cases where the suspect is
deceased should be items such as a toothbrush, shaver, brush,
comb belonging to the suspect, or envelope with saliva on flap or
stamp. If these are not available, obtain oral swabs from two of
suspects surviving children. All DNA samples obtained should be

Re: SE 164A-81-DNA, 04/16/2003

Details: To set leads for the Laboratory, DNA1, and Latent
Fingerprint Unit.

This case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the
United States, and is commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper"
investigation.

Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects
have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of virtually
every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated, some required
extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained of interest
and could not be included or excluded through normal means. To
date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the
aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has mot been identified. As
this was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has advised that no
statute of limitations exists.

Above items were provided by | | DUANE
LORIN WEBER (deceased). | Jhas long held that WEBER
told her on his deathbed that he hijacked referenced flight.

Laboratory, DNAl is requested to extract DNA from any
of the items numbered 1-15 deemed suitable and compare to DNA
retrieved under referenced Laboratory number. Latent Fingerprint
Section is requested to retrieve latents from item 16, and from
1-15 (after DNA collection). DNA collection is the priority with
items 1-15. Any latents developed should be compared with the
known fingerprints of DUANE LORIN WEBER, FBI#3552803. Upon

: Synopsis: To set additional leads for investigation and
: collection of DNA samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNA ra
: 1. This case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United
! States, and is commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" [|
| investigation. Items collected should be forwarded directly to
the Laboratory, DNA 1, Attention The EC should —_
be uploaded to SE 164A-81-DNA. Due to the nature of this

particular San Francisco lead, Seattle requests it be assigned to
an experienced Agent.

Enclosures: For each receiving office is one case information

sheet. Enclosed for San Francisco, Santa Rosa RA, are copies of
various serials related to previous investigation of Po bé :
? | | Santa Rosa, CA. b7C-

| Details: Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects

: meriting subfiles have been processed by Seattle with the
assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most were quickly
eliminated, some required extensive investigation to eliminate,
some remained of interest and could not be included or excluded
through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305,
who parachuted from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has
not been identified. Although it is very likely that the
hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If
currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's.

Re: SE 164A-81-DNA, 11/05/2003

As hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has advised
that no statute of limitations exists.

For the information of VCMOS and receiving offices, a
recent resubmission of an item connected to the UNSUB, has
resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA. This DNA was suitable
for entry into CODIS and for identification and elimination.
Seattle has identified the below individuals from which a DNA
sample is desired to process a comparison.

A review is being conducted in Seattle to identify
possible candidates for DNA comparison. It is expected that this
review process will be lengthy, and leads will be set out in
several groups.

Due to the extensive and counterproductive media
coverage that may result from these contacts, all offices are
requested to exercise discretion in dealing with these leads.
some of these suspects may have known they were considered a
person of interest, others may not. Likewise the families may,
or may not be aware. In cases where the suspect is alive, oral
swabs should be solicited. In cases where the subject is
deceased, all methods to include hair from shavers, brushes,
Salvia from postage stamps, etc. should be considered. In those
Cases where recovery of these items are not possible, obtain
proper death and burial records. Contact Seattle case agent
before asking family members for any exhumation authority.

Obtain samples by one of the following methods, in the
following order of priority:

1. Oral swabs from suspect (best)

2. Toothbrush, shaver, brush, comb belonging to
suspect, or envelope with saliva on flap or stamp
{second best).

3. Oral swabs from both surviving parents (third
best).

4, Oral swab from two of suspect's natural children.
(fourth best).

All family or possible suspects contacted should be
advised that this is merely another investigative step following
advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA
evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons
contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family
member are a suspect of great interest in this case. Media
discussions should be avoided. Refer any media_inquiries without
comment to the Seattle Media Coordinator, SA Jat
Any follow up leads to obtain these samples

should be set by receiving offices with a copy to Seattle.

ARTHUR B. DERHAM, 6250 East Foothill, Apache Junction,
Arizona, telephone number (602) 982-0227, was interviewed at the
Mesa Resident Agency. After being advised of the identity of the
interviewing Agent and the purpose of the interview DERHAM
provided the following information:

DERHAM advised that he was initially hired as a
mechanic at $10.00 an hour for SUPERIOR TRAINING SERVICES (STS),
Heavy Duty Equipment Shop, Heavy Duty Equipment Site, located at
6250 East Foothill, Apache Junction, Arizona. During the hiring
process he was lead to believe that he would only be a mechanic
until such time that he could assume the responsibilities of
managing the Heavy Duty Equipment Shop. DERHAM stated that
things turned out exactly as he was lead to believe during this
hiring process. He stated that he was fired by STS in September,
1987, by one for no apparent reason. DERHAM further

advised that while employed by STS, he reported to one| |
| DERHAM added that this | |

DERHAM stated that as manager of the Heavy Duty
Equipment Shop, he was responsible for insuring that the heavy
Guty equipment utilized in training students was maintained at a
level capable of handling an excess of 100 students per month.
DERHAM advised that the equipment which had to be maintained was
not capable of training this many students within one month
because it was very dilapidated and out of date. In many
instances, the equipment would break down during the one month's
training of students, and these student would be required to
double up on the equipment which was currently working. DERHAM
further stated that this type of situation was the common place
rather than the exception due to the excessive wear and tear on
the limited amount of equipment maintained at his site.
Additionally, DERHAM stated that in many instances he was forced
to handle up to as many as 300 students in a single month with
the same worn out equipment. These overloaded classes led to
students not receiving adequate training to even comprehend how
the machinery actually operated.

DERHAM advised that student would generally arrive for
a one month stay at his site in order to learn how to operate

heavy duty equipment. This training on heavy duty equipment
encompassed a four week program in which student would spend one
week on a specific type of heavy duty equipment. They would
begin the week by spending one day in the classroom and the
remaining portion of the week with hands on the equipment. 'Thus,
upon completion of the four week course, each student will have
performed one week on one of four pieces of heavy duty equipment.
This could be anything from a bulldozer to a grader. DERHAM
advised that with this training regimen, students would never
receive more than a total of eight hours per piece of equipment.
He felt that this much training did not even qualify the student
to be hired by any of the local heavy duty equipment operators
within the Phoénix Metropolitan area.

DERHAM advised that student would generally receive a
check for living expense costs for the first two weeks of their
stay at the school. Subsequent to this, students would receive
an additional check from STS for their living expenses during the
next two weeks of their stay. DERHAM stated that once students
received the second check, STS did not care whether the students
departed the school or decided to stay and finish out their
course of study while in the Phoenix area. He felt that once the
second check was forwarded to the student, STS basically washed
their hands of all responsibilities towards the students.

DERHAM advised that he and his staff were told that
they were not to fraternize with the student attending the schcol
at any time during their stay. Additionally, they were told that
they were not even to speak to the student unless it was strictly
course related. He found this to be quite embarrassing on
numerous occasions, due to the many questions generated by the
students attending the course. Even though DERHAM was not
allowed to converse with the students openly, he was able to get
the feeling from most of the student that they believed they
would be gainfully enployed upon completion of this course, at a
wage of approximately $18.00 to $20.00 per hour, and they would
have no difficulty in finding employment once they had completed
the course. He did not know where the students had acquired this
type of opinion, but he was sure that it was not acquired within
the heavy duty equipment site here in Apache Junction. In
DERHAM's opinion, most of the students that attended this course
would not even be qualified to get any type of a job within the
heavy duty equipment area upon completion of this course due to
the very limited number of hours available to each student upon
the machinery.

DERHAM also advised that on occasion there would be
Spanish speaking students in attendance at the course that could
not truly receive adequate training due to the language
aifficulties caused by their unfamiliarity of the English
language. DERHAM felt that this was odd, but did not question
their attendance at this school, because he felt that they were
trying to learn a skill.

DERHAM advised that examinations were given on a
regular basis by the instructors of the heavy duty equipment,
however, he did not feel that most of the students received
enough training to pass any examination given without help from
the instructors. DERHAM félt that approximately five out of 100
students would be capable of every learning how to operate the
equipment. He truly questioned the recruitment policies of the
individuals in Indianapolis, because of the numerous unqualified
individuals that he encountered at his heavy duty equipment site
shop. He felt that the recruiters must not have any type of
knowledge regarding the operators of heavy duty equipment if
these were the individuals that were being sent to learn in just
a four week period.

DERHAM had no knowledge regarding the financing or
enrollment policies of STS, however, he did get a feel from the
students that they did not believe that they would have to repay
any of the loans granted in order to gain enrollment into this
school.

DERHAM advised that he realiy had no knowledge
regarding STS property that was allegedly sold out of the back
door of STS wherein cash generated with kicked back to STS
employees, nor was DERHAM able to furnish any additional
information regarding twelve current/former employees who were
victims of a STS Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) fraud
committed by STS. He advised that he is currentiy involved in
civil litigation in order to regain funds which he had invested
in the Stock Option Plan, but can not currently provide
information regarding the other twelve due to the fact that most
have moved out of the area.

DERHAM provided the names of one | | b6

Synopsis: To outline current status of DNA Project and reassign
DNA subfile.

Reference: SE 164A-81 Serial 9393

Details: Major long term violent crimes cases in the past have
clearly shown that the ultimate person charged/convicted had been
previously contacted early in the investigation. This case is
the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. The investigation
is not bound by a statute of limitations, as hijacking was then a
capital offense.

Referenced serial outlined a three step investigative
plan to address the DNA profile that was recently obtained from
an item belonging to the hijacker. As part of this plan it is
essential to review each of the 1,057 subject subfiles opened in
this matter so as to locate possible candidates for DNA
comparison.

Step one, entry and comparison of the DNA profile into
the CODIS system has been completed with negative results.

Step two, review of each subject subfile has been
partially completed. 501 of the 1,057 subfiles have been

reviewed by SA {1-500, and subfile 1055). Five of these
subfiles were selected for DNA followup based on criteria
developed by SA This criteria included, the strength of

the initial reason for opening subject, how or if the subject was
eliminated, how well the subject could match characteristics of

concerning the particular subject, and other considerations.

Step three, setting of DNA recovery leads for those
identified (five so far) have been set and is reflected in SUB
DNA,

It is essential that the remaining 556 subfiles be
reviewed as soon as possible to identify additional DNA
comparison candidates. Due to the passage of time, many of these
subjects will now be in their 70's, some are deceased. Prior to
review of these subfiles, a detailed working knowledge of this

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Synopsis: To set phase II leads for investigation and collection

of DNA samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNA 1. This case

remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United States, and is

commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" investigation. Items

collected should be forwarded directly to the Laboratory, DNA i,

164A-81-DNA. b7C

Enclosures: For each receiving office is one case information
sheet. This information is also available to be emailed to any
RA Agents who do not receive the enclosure.

Details: Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects
meriting subfiles have been processed by Seattle with the
assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most, opened in the
initial stages of the investigation, were quickly eliminated,
some required extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained
of interest and could not be included or excluded through normal

means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted
from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been
identified. This case remains the only unresolved airplane
hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is very likely that the
hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If
currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's.
As hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has recently
again advised that no statute of limitations exists.

For the information of VCMOS and receiving offices, a
recent resubmission of an item connected to the UNSUB has
resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA. This DNA was suitable
for entry into CODIS and for identification and elimination.
Seattle has identified the below individuals from which a DNA
sample is desired to process a comparison.

A review is being conducted in Seattle to identify
possible candidates for DNA comparison. It is anticipated that
only a very small minority of the original suspect pool will
qualify for this DNA project. Phase II of this review involved
the completed review of subject subfiles 1-500.

Due to the extensive and counterproductive media
coverage that, in some cases, may result from these contacts, all
offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with
these leads. Some of these suspects may have known they were
considered a person of interest, others may not. Likewise the
families may, or may not be aware. In cases where the suspect is
alive, oral swabs should be solicited. In cases where the
subject is deceased, all methods to include hair from shavers,
brushes, salvia from postage stamps, etc. should be considered.
In those cases where recovery of these items are not possible,
obtain proper death and burial records. Contact Seattle case
agent before asking family members for any exhumation authority.
In the event the suspect, and/or family, cannot be located,
receiving offices should set out appropriate leads to follow up
with an information copy to Seattle.

Obtain samples by one of the following methods, in the
following order of priority:

1. Oral swabs from suspect (best)

2. Toothbrush, shaver, brush, comb belonging to
suspect, or enVelope with saliva on flap or stamp
{second best).

3. Oral swabs from both surviving parents (third
best}.

4. Oral swab from two of suspect's natural children.
{fourth best).

Re: SE 164A-81-DNA, 07/29/2004

All family or possible suspects contacted should be
advised that this is merely another investigative step following
advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA
evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons
contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family
member are a suspect of great interest in this case. Unless
specifically requested in lead, no interviews are needed at this
time, other than appropriate FD-302 to document DNA samples.

Media discussions should be avoided. Refer any media_inquiries
without comment to the Seattle Media Coordinator, SA| b6é
[ Jat | ] Any follow up leads to obtain these bic
samples should be set by receiving offices with a copy to bIE
Seattle.

If anyone is uncooperative with this process, advise
Seattle.

Phase II unresolved suspects:
1. JASON T. LANGSETH (SUB 327) SSN 525-52-5941 DOR

8/3/1934

**Caution - May Be Uncooperative Due to Prior Contact

With FBI**

Last known address:905 Fogarty Ave, Shelton, Washington

98584 (10/2003)

LANGSETH was originally identified as a suspect based
on information received from two individuals. He resembled UNSUB
at the time, has military jump experience, and reportedly
discussed committing the "perfect crime" prior to the hijacking.

: LANGSETH was only partially cooperative during his interviews in

; 1972 and 1977, and uncooperative when contacted in 1979 and

| ultimately refused to answer further questions or take a
polygraph examination. Alibi information he provided concerning
his work activities and travel during November 1971 was proven at
least partially false. He was last contacted in January 1979
while living in Campbell, California. Following that contact,
LANGSETH retained an attorney and refused a polygraph. In 1993,
LANGSETH was again identified as being the UNSUB by an another
associate who had viewed an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment about
this case. Contact Seattle Case Agent if further details are
desired.

Due to the passage of time, it is possible that
LANGSETH will now cooperate with a DNA sample.

2. FRED ANGELO CATALANO (SUB 395) SSN 063-30-8696 DOB
7/25/1935.

Re: SE 164A-81-DNA, 07/29/2004

Last known address: 6402 Mill Road, Egg Harbor
Township, New Jersey 08234.

CATALANO, a prior resident of Eugene, Oregon surfaced
as a suspect in 1972 on a referral from the Los Angeles Division.
One witness onboard NW 305 subsequently advised that CATALANO
bore a very strong resemblance to the UNSUB. Investigation could
not rule CATALANO out based a one week gap in his work attendance
at the time of the hijacking. CATALANO worked for TWA as a Purser
and, although pilot trained, was unsuccessful in securing a
flying job with TWA as he was described as a "rebel" by his
supervisor, and as someone who had money problems. There is no
record that CATALANO was ever contacted by the FBI or has any
knowledge of his mention as a suspect in this matter.

3. Richard Floyd McCoy Jr. (deceased) (SUB 386).
SSN 237-66-3779
**CAULTION SUGGESTED**

nn jew

McCoy was convicted of a copycat hijacking of a United Airlines
flight in April, 1972 in which he successfully parachuted from
that flight over Utah with $500,000. McCoy was
arrested/convicted of that offense and most of the hijack

proceeds were recovered. McCoy later escaped from prison and was
shot and killed in November, 1974 after drawing a weapon on FBI
Agents attempting his arrest in Virginia Beach, Virginia. McCoy
never claimed to have been COOPER, and there was significant
differences in methodology between the two crimes. Evidence
indicated McCoy was in Salt Lake City on 11/25/1971, and had
possibly attended class at BYU on 11/24/1971. Some evidence
exists that McCoy actually drove to Las Vegas on
11/24/1971. Although the weight of the evidence points toward
the elimination of McCoy, speculation continued. In July, 1972
McCoy allegedly told his Pre-Trial officer in Salt Lake City
prior to his receiving a 45 year sentence for the UAL hijacking,
that he had done "another one". In light of some contradiction
in evidence concerning McCoy, and the possibility that the
differences in methodology between the hijacking can be partially
explained as a possible natural refinement of methods, a DNA
sample is being sought.

It is recognized that |

and appropriate caution should utilized. During McCoy's trial in

The Crime

: On 11/24/1971, the day before Thanksgiving, a lone
White male boarded Northwest Orient flight 305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while the flight was en
route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that
his briefcase contained a bomb, which would blow up the plane
unless his demands were met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000.00 and four parachutes
in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane.
When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Northwest Orient Airlines
complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes
and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two 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 fiy to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane
proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and
slow speed, which would enable the rear door of the plane to be
opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere between
Seattle and Reno, Nevada, where the plane landed to refuel. It
was determined the hijacker, two parachutes and the ransom money
had disappeared when the plane was inspected at Reno.

Original artist's conception drawing of the aircraft
hijacker were prepared by the FBI Exhibit Section and are
considered a reasonable likeness. The more recent aged composite
was prepared to depict what the hijacker might have looked like
in 1999,

The hijacker was described as follows:

Race: White

Sex: Male

Age: Mid-40s

Height: Five feet ten inches to six feet

Weight: 170 to 180 pounds

Complexion: Olive, Latin appearance, medium
smooth

Hair: Dark brown or black, parted on the
left, combed back

Eyes: Possibly brown; during the latter

ORIGINAL MONTAGE AGED TO 1999

LEADS:

1. TYPICAL - A relative or former friend resembles
UNSUB and has had previous parachuting experience. In addition,
he had "a lot of money" at about that time and he possibly said
he was "D.B. COOPER" while drinking in a bar.

NORJAK
Page 3

Age differences or height differences between the
suspect and UNSUB generally can disprove 95 percent of these
leads.

2. NOT TYPTCAR - Suspect is dead and told witnesses he
was "D.B. COOPER." He also said he lost the money in the jump.

Age and height differences plus location on 11/24/1971
or 11/25/1971 can be useful in processing these suspects.

Q19 Glasses (1B1)

This report contains the results of the nuclear DNA analyses and
supplements the FBI Laboratory report dated April 2, 2002.

Results of Examinations:

The STR typing results from specimens Q5-1, Q8-1, Q9-1, and Q16-1
were compared to the STR typing results from specimen Q40/Q41 [submitted under FBI
Laboratory Number 010904012 and reported in FBI Laboratory report dated April 2, 2002].

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolated from specimens Q5-1 (swabbing
from specimen Q5), Q8 (swabbing from flap area), Q9 (swabbing from flap area) and Q16-Q18
(swabbing from inside specimens Q16 through Q18) was subjected to DNA typing by the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the amelogenin sex typing locus and the nine (9) short
tandem repeat (STR) loci of the AmpFiSTR® Profiler Plus™ JD PCR Amplification Kit.'

Specimen Q3-1 (swabbing from specimen Q3) was subjected to DNA
typing by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the amelogenin sex typing locus and the nine
(9) short tandem repeat (STR) loci of the AmpF¢STR® Profiler Plus™ 7D PCR Amplification
Kit.' No detectable DNA and/or STR typing results were obtained from specimen Q3.

It is noted that the above specimens were submitted for comparison
purposes to be used as an alternate reference sample for DUANE LORIN WEBER; however, the
DNA profiles obtained from specimens Q5-1, Q8-1, Q9-1 and Q16-1 do not satisfy the DNAAUI
inclusionary reporting criteria and therefore may be utilized only for exclusionary purposes. It is
also noted that the DNA typing results obtained from specimen Q5-1, Q8-1 and Q9-I-indicate the
presence of different source individuals. Based on the STR typing results, specimens Q5-1, Q8-
1, Q9-1 and Q16-1 are excluded as potential contributors of the DNA obtained from specimen

Q40/Q41.
No other nuclear DNA examinations were conducted.
l The AmpF¢STR® Profiler Pius™ JD PCR Amplification Kit includes the loci D3S1358, VWA, FGA,
D8S1179, D2tS11, D18S51, DSS818, D13S317, and D7S820.

Title: UNSUB,

CAA - HIJACKING
Synopsis: To open subfile SE 164A-81-1060 for Lyle Collins
Franklin and to set phase II lead for investigation and
collection of DNA samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNA
1. This case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United
States, and is commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper"
investigation. Items collected should be forwarded directly to
the Laboratory, DNA 1, Attention| | The EC should b6
be uploaded to SE 164A-81-DNA. b7C

Enclosures: Case information sheet. This information is also
available to be emailed.

Details: Portland Division forwarded an EC to Seattle, SE 164A-
81 serial 9466, regarding Lyle Collins Franklin (Franklin).
Seattle requests that Anchorage review the enclosed Portland EC
and collect a DNA sample from Franklin's remains for submission
to the Laboratory, DNA 1. See attached Anchorage EC for contact
information on Franklin.

Over the years, more than one thousand possible
subjects meriting subfiles were processed by Seattle with the
assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most, opened in the
initial stages of the investigation, were quickly eliminated;
some required extensive investigation to eliminate; and some
remained of interest and could not be included or excluded
through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305,
who parachuted from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has

To: Anchorage ©. Seattle @
Re: SE 164A-81-DNA, 04/30/2007

not been identified. This case remains the only unresolved
airplane hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is very likely
that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a
possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in
his mid-70's. Hijacking was a capital offense at the time,
therefore, no statute of limitations exists.

For the information of VCMOS and receiving offices, a
recent resubmission of an item connected to the UNSUB resulted in
the recovery of male nuclear DNA. This DNA was suitable for
entry into CODIS and for identification and elimination.

Seattle seeks a DNA sample from the individual(s) listed below to
process for comparison.

Due to the extensive and counterproductive media
coverage that, in some cases, may result from these contacts, all
offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with
these leads. Some of these suspects may have known they were
considered a person of interest, others may not. Likewise the
families may, or may not be aware. In cases where the suspect is
alive, oral swabs should be solicited. In cases where the
subject is deceased, all methods to include hair from shavers,
brushes, salvia from postage stamps, etc. should be considered.
In those cases where recovery of these items are not possible,
obtain proper death and burial records. Contact Seattle case
agent before asking family members for any exhumation authority.
In the event the suspect, and/or family, cannot be located,
receiving offices should set out appropriate leads to follow up
with an information copy to Seattle.

Obtain samples by one of the following methods, in the
following order of priority:

lL. Oral swabs from suspect (best}

2. Toothbrush, shaver, brush, comb belonging to
suspect, or envelope with saliva on flap or stamp
{second best).

3. Oral swabs from both surviving parents (third
best).

4. Oral swab from two of suspect's natural children.
{fourth best).

All family or possible suspects contacted should be
advised that this is merely another investigative step following
advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA
evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons
contacted are not led to believe that they or their family member
are a suspect of great interest in this case. Unless
specifically requested in the lead, no interviews are needed at
this time, other than appropriate FD-302 to document DNA samples.

Results of Nuclear DNA Examinations:

Specimens Q57 through Q62 were subjected to deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) typing by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the amelogenin sex typing locus and the

nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci of the AmpF/STR® Profiler Plus™ JD PCR Amplification
Kit.

Based on the typing results from the amelogenin locus (for sex
determination), male DNA? is present in the DNA obtained from specimens Q58 and Q61. No
amelogenin typing results were obtained from specimens Q57, Q59, Q60, and Q62.

No STR typing results were obtained from specimens Q57, Q59, Q60, and
Q62.

The DNA typing results obtained from specimen Q58 indicate the
presence of DNA from two or more individuals and are suitable for comparison purposes. A
major contributor can be discerned from the DNA obtained from specimen Q58 and is suitable
for matching purposes. The STR typing results for the minor contributor to specimen Q58 are not
suitable for matching purposes; however, may be utilized for exclusionary purposes.*

The DNA profile obtained from specimen Q61 is not suitable for matching
purposes; however, it may be utilized for exclusionary purposes.'

It is noted that the DNA typing results obtained for the major contributor
to specimen Q58 and the DNA typing results obtained for specimen Q61 are consistent with
having originated from the same male individual.

It is noted that specimens Q57 through Q62 were submitted as alternate
reference samples for WILLIAM PRATT GOSSETT. Due to the limited results obtained from
Q61, and the consistency of the DNA typing results obtained for the major contributor to
specimen Q58 and the DNA typing results obtained for specimen Q61, the major contributor to
specimen Q58 will be used for all future comparisons and designated as specimen Q58
(GOSSETT) to further differentiate it from the other questioned (Q) specimens analyzed.

The STR typing results for specimen Q58 (GOSSETT) were compared to
the STR typing results from specimen Q40/Q41 [submitted under FBI Laboratory Number
010904012 HL MD and reported in FBI Laboratory report dated April 2, 2002].

Based on the STR typing results, Q58 (GOSSETT) is excluded as a
potential contributor to the mixture of DNA obtained from specimen Q40/Q41.

The STR typing results obtained from the tested specimens are not eligible
for entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).

No other nuclear DNA examinations were conducted.

Methods/Limitations:

The following methods and limitations apply to the results/conclusions provided in the results
section(s) of this report and are referenced by number in the body of the text for clarity.

1. The AmpF'STR® Profiler Plus™ ID PCR Amplification Kit enables the human specific
typing of the STR loci D3S1358, VWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5$818, D13$317,
and D7S820. Insufficient DNA quality and/or quantity can affect the ability to generate a DNA
typing result and is not an absolute determination that an individual did not come into contact
with an item of evidence.

2. The presence of male DNA in a mixture may limit the ability to determine if female DNA is
also present in that mixture.

3. Inconclusive STR typing results can be due to insufficient DNA quality and/or quantity. In
order for the STR typing results to be used for matching purposes, sufficient DNA quality and/or
quantity is necessary.

Results of Examinations

The requested latent print examinations were conducted, but no latent prints were

Methods

Items of evidence submitted to the Latent Print Operations Unit for examination may
be examined visually, examined with various light sources, and/or processed with chemicals and

==== Part 77 · PDF page 310 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-33672 ====
@ UNCLASSIFIED r

powders to detect the presence of latent friction ridge prints. The specific sequence of
examinations and processes depends upon the nature of the evidence.

Friction ridge print examinations are conducted using the Analysis, Comparison,
Evaluation, and Verification methodology (ACE-V), which includes an assessment of the
quantity and quality of the information present. The steps of ACE-V are applied to each
examination as appropriate.

Analysis is the assessment of a friction ridge print to determine if sufficient reliable
details are present to conduct a comparison with another print and to reach an identification

conclusion. If these conditions are met, the print is determined to be "of value".

Comparison is the direct side-by-side observation of friction ridge prints of value to
determine whether or not the information in two prints is in agreement.

Evaluation is the formulation of a conclusion based on the information gathered
during the analysis and comparison of the friction ridge prints.

Conclusions that can be reached are as follows:

° Identification - the determination that there is sufficient quality and
quantity of detail in agreement to conclude that two friction ridge prints
originated from the same source.

° Exclusion - the determination that there is sufficient quality and quantity
of detail in disagreement to conclude that two friction ridge prints did not
originate from the same source.

° Inconclusive - the determination that corresponding areas of friction ridge
prints are absent and/or unreliable and therefore cannot be identified or
excluded.

Verification is the independent application of the analysis, comparison, and
evaluation phases of the ACE-V methodology to a friction ridge print by another examiner.

Interpretations
Due to the many factors involved in the deposition of a friction ridge print, neither the

absence of a friction ridge print on evidence nor the exclusion of a friction ridge print with a
given source, disassociate that source from having touched the evidence.

Representatives from receiving offices were in
attendance at the Norjak seminar held at San Francisco,
4/8~9/76, where a suggestion was made to institute a pub-.
licity campaign for release in early November, 1976, widely
publicizing'a reward for any twenty-dollar bill turned in
from the ransom List published in various media periodicals
and possible local newspapers. This suggestion was approved
at FBIHQ and efforts to initiate appropriate groundwork
steps are now being taken. .

Receiving offices should, at this time, contact
major newspapers within their Divisions in an effort to
determine if first they would particpate in this publicity
venture by printing. on a one-time, daily, or weekly basis.
the list of ransom bill serial numbers and second if they'
agree to printing these, is there a particular form in
which the numbers could be provided to facilitate easier
printing of same. Newspaper officials should be advised
that calls from individuals concerning the fact that they
possess a twenty-dollar bill of interest will ba directed
to the nearest FBI Office.

Seattle should immediately set out leads for
Minneapolis to contact officials at Northwest Airlines
in an effort to determine their interest in possibly pro-

SUBJECT: NORJAK

BUFILE 164-2111

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites,
~ two black and white, and two color, depicting the
NORJAK unsub with and without glasses.

On November 24, 1971, a lone white male
boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland,
Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight
was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated
to the stewardess that his brief case 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 Seattle, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with
his instructions. After he received the parachutes
and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and
the two 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
Girection and fly at a low altitude and slow speed
which would enable the rear door of the plane to be
opened during the flight.

The hijacker apparently bailed out somewhere
between Seattle, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, where
the plane landed to refuel. It was determined the
hijacker, two parachutes, and the ransom money had —_—
disappeared when the plane was inspected at Reno, Sublet

Nevada. Loe X- - EF 7G

Recently in connection with the Norjak case, the
Department of Justice has been attempting to determine if the
Federal Statute of Limitations (five years) will apply to the
unknown subject of captioned hijacking, and if in fact it does
apply, then is it at this time, feasible to consider obtaining
a "John Doe" indictment.

In an effort to completely review all pertinent
evidence obtained and determine its present value if unknown
subject was identified and brought to trial now or within the

enough individually identifiable information in our possession
to have a basis for obtaining a "John Doe" indictment, a

$218,635 _

PORTLAND — {AP) — Dan
(D. B.} Cooper, the sky pirate
who: vanished somewhere be-
tween Seattle and Reno in 1971,
now owes the federal govern-
ment more than the $200,000 he
took with him.

The Interiial Revenue Service
says Cooper owes $218,635 in tax-
es on the money he extorted.
That's assuming he is alive, sin-
gle and never filed a return on
the money.

The LRS. figures Cooper
would be taxed $53,050 on the
first $100,006 and $70,000 on the
next $106,600. If he intended to
cheat the government out of its
share, the civil fraud penalty is
50 percent of the tax due, or
$61,545.

Interest at 7 per cent a year
is $34,000, Total: $218,635.

San Francisco Agents | | )

Los Angeles Agent ROBERT STRANGER;

Seattle Agent | }

| |lstatea at the conclusion of the
meeting that he would come out with his recommendations concern-
ing this case to the Bureau by 4/16/76.

;y It was noted during the conference that there were

814 suspects currently on file and 794 of them had been elimi-
nated. In addition, it was determined that a JOHN DOE warrant
would not be obtained concerning UNSUB and that as far as could
be determined from the Department of Justice the Statue of
Limitations has been tol¥in that there was a death penalty

for the crime committed by UNSUB at the time he committed

the crime. °

Finally, various avenues of investigative possibilities
were discussed at the conference with the stipulations {1) the -
Statute of Limitations tolls and therefore there would be i

Recently in connection with the Norjak case, the
Department of Justice has been aeronpt ang to determine if the
Federal Statute of Limitations (five years) will apply to the
unkn ows subject of capvioned hijacking, and if in fact it does
apply, then is it at this tine, feasible to consider obtaining
a "John Doe" indietmont.

In an effort to connletecly review all pertinent
evidence obtained and determine its present value if unknown
subject was identitied and brought to trial now or within the
_.last three to five years, as well as, to determine if there is

enough individually identifiable infcrmation in our possession
to have a basis for obtaining a "John Doc" indictment, a
Norjak conference Will commence Anvil 3, 1976, 6:50 a.m,, at
the Bro, ee ame ae tree nee Oe ON RS We

All veceiving offices will send appropriate
representatives insuring they pessess complete knowledge of

8
Occasionally, suspects are reopened because new
9] evidence indicates a "second look" is warranted, One suspect
that received national press coverage was JOHN EMIL LIST
10 (Suspect 203).
11 LIST was considered a suspect because he became a
fugitive 15 days prior to NORJAK. He matches the general
12 | description of UNSUB, also knowm as DAN COOPER. He killed his
family partially because he was despondent over monetary
13 | problems. He served in the military and may have had airborne
training.
14
The Newark Division advised by airtel dated 7/24/89,
15] that a review of LIST''s U.S. Army records reflect no receipt by
LIST of airborne training. A review of suspect File 203
16 | reflected that LIST's photograph has been displayed to the three
victim stewardesses. All three stated that LIST was not
17 | identical to UNSUB.
18 No further investigation will be conducted by Seattle

The attached information was taken primarily from
manually recorded notes during cormunications con-
nected with the high~ jacking of Northwest Airlines
- Flight 305, November 24/25, 1971.

The primary method of comminication with the flight
was direct between MS?FO (Flight Operations) end
SEADD (Flight Dispatch), the flight, SEA and SFO
ARINC, RNO Tower. :

Due to the inability 'o copy everything exactliy--
and as rapidly-~as it occurred, there may be some
errors in the following. It is not believed that:
they ere-likely to be large or significant.

HGOPEFO advised crew (1) that non-stop SEA-MEAX impossible with
gear DOWN, flaps 15°, (2) that take-off with air-stairs full
dawn impossible due to inability to rotate airplare, When
hJ advised of this he asked that air~-stairs be partially ex-

since stairs could not be held in any intermediate position.

HJ had previously stated that no landing within cor-tinental

Threughout the flight from the time it was kno@n that the lJ's desired

Mazatlan, Mexico, as would have been uecessary due to the limited range
in the hJ's specified configuration. Prior to the RHO landing NVAFO
suggested that crew negotiate with hd to pull gear and flaps UP after
RNO take-off, that a non-stop flight to MEX would then be possible.
This, of course, proved unnecessary. :
Also throughout the whole operation, excellent cooperation was received
from ail concerned (except HJ?), including The koeing Company, SEA and
SFO ARINC, ATC, SEA and RNO Towers, local FRI and "Air Marshal person-
