and furnished a description of the unknown hijacker of
a Northwest Boeing 727, November 24, 1971, [—Jaavisea
the person in the photograph was unknown to him. He stated
that to the_best of his knowledge, there has never been
anyone at would resemble the description of
the hijacker. stated theface in the photograph

is familiar from the nose on down, but he was unable to
furnish any information as to where or when he has seen
anyone with these features,

stated he is of the opinion that the
hijacker was a novice in one respect. [vent on to
explain that on certain chutes, there are releases called

""capewelis." These are used when a person is going to jump
in a wooded area. "Capewells" enable the chutist, once he
has landed in the trees, to unbuckle the harness, thus
releasing his chute altogether. Without these, a person
would either have to cut the chute away from himself

or step out of it, which is very difficult to do if he is
in a tree.

In another respect,[ __——_—_—_jwas under the
impression that this hijacker might have known what he vas
doing and may have had some type of training in parachuting
such as "smoke jumper school" or possibly may have been a
member of Some parachuting group,such as the Special Forces,
in the Armed Forces, Examples of these are the "Green
Berets," the "Rangers" or the "101 Airbourn."

skydiving exhibition last year which was to take place
somewhere in Southern California where the skydivers were to
jump from a "big" airplane. He did not remember exactly
when this was or where in Southern California this was to
take place. He did not remember what type of airplane was
to be used, only that it was to be a bigger airplane than

is normally used.

[i further advised that according to the
information he has heard, unless the hijacker tied the con-
tainer of money to his body, he does not believe he couid
have heid onto it, as the parachute the hijacker used was
a "flat chute," that is, once the rip cord is pulled, the
chute opens immediately and there is quite a jolt when it

opens. He stated with this chute, a jumper could be traveling

150 miles per hour and when this chute initially opens, the
chutist is stopped for a second with his elapsed speed of
0. This takes approximately 3/4 to 1 second. He stated

it would be difficult for anyone to hold onto anything with
a chute of this nature.

YDeur friends?
I promised not to bother you with any more letters about

the man wno bailed out of the plane vith the bundle of Loot.

I just couldn't resist writing you one more letter and try to

summarize it. As I said before, about 30 year; ago wneo I a:d

tne noly ghost I would oe able to tell you-every detail, but

now only a vord cones thru me now and then.

tne spirit seems to repeat that it was 'near a fair' +here

he came down. The language is sometimes symbolic. That means

that it could mean a state monument or historical site, but I

think it really means near some kind of a fair grounds-neur it.

I am beginning to agree with you up there now that Yoodlang is

the area that is really not, but you are working too far east,

work est of Vvoodland. Tere is some kind of an island north

of Fortland and a lake called Smith Laxe and ne:ir it Delta P rk.

Multnoman Jounty Sxposition enter would be more like it. He

might nave come down near nere or nortnof it. It could nave peen

a place under new construction, because it seems Like I heard

something Like newly constructed this morning. It could be

near Deer Island, also. 'Ne ra Pair' seems to oe tne lead line

that the spirit save me. There is also a fair grounds 2t 3alem

and at Sugene, out I don't think that is it, I think you are j

not sith the Joodlind idea. Too bad you didn't sow su beeper
| in the fasric of tnose parachutes.

hy own personal opinion of the case now is that he died on

impact and mast cervainly gone into the brink, either into tie
columbia or iato a lake. Something came thru me this morning
about a toll oridge. I notice tnat there is one 2% Astoria.
I think 2 good p:ace to take a vacation right now would be
Seaside, Orezon for a couple of weeks and play on the beach,
Sone of tnosetwenty dollar bills may come vasninz over on the .
Snore one of these days if the packet is not tied too tight and
is not too tignt in the leather case. The white money big with
toe p2araphernclia in it may be found some day wih the other
chute not far from the point of origin, or takeoff. A good idea
would be to run a copter down the columbia river once a day for J

Hi Folks:

fell ZI snould have walked more yectcuradsy urd tried to get
tne sririt. Yesterday I g2ve my own version of the man from
toe plane hijack witn the loot. I s1id ne mignt have gone into
the Jolumbia River, but I have my douots about it now. The
intimation is that re got offthat plane in I2 minutes. 'fhere was
the plane at I2 sinutes after takeoff? I came nome last nite aad
the spirit seemed to say 7;49--This vould be I2 minutes after
taxeoff at 737. I thint ne knew about t.e cold in tne plane and
knew ne would nave to gst out of there fast. The spirit called
nim the 'Golonel' I think he vas Janadian air force of yorld war
IT vintsge. 'le was rolite, too 3nd that all the rore intizvates
ne could huve been Janudian, because -hey ure rolite. He wa
doping. 3pirit said ne doped vefore i:1e left plane. He probaoly
was not drinkins, but could have been taking amphetasrine pills,
spirit seemed to say ne came down in a dairy region. I think tne
region northeast of Bort Levis and not far from Puyallup where
'hey nold the fair every year, because the spirit said! Tear a fair'.
There was sonethirg about a dial. Ye either made 2 call before
or after he want out of plane. Je probably made his vay to tne
town of Fuyallup after gettiag on higaway I6I. I don't know the
plane route so I am guessin,, at this, bu. I believe the area
south of the airport -Taco 3-3eattle- about I2 rinutes out is hot.
Fierce, Jounty. 3etween Highvay 7 and Hignway I6I between Tuyzllup
and Frederickson, rossible too as far south a; Loveland, or tranan,

Sincerely, 4 No
! Ay cT1 OWN»:

( Only tryiig to help) a)

P, 3. The last couple of days the spirit said something apout .
a college and I xind of passed the idea by because I didvit KNOW
where the college was. I had this letter serled and re-opened it
because right 2t the la;t morent I noticed on the m2p rignt —
neir &atonville and La Grande, Jashington taere is a colle Je
salled U. of 'Jasn college of Forestry and it is on higaway tor.
Maybe this will nelp- mayoe this is it. Ye could nave gone down
near here someplace or on a raralell with & in line wita flight
of plane. then he could have gone into the fair tovn of

puyallup.

I think I have really hit on it now. Ee went down near
the college whicn is not too far from the fair-Puyallup.
I consider this a real good lead.

Dear Sir:

I presume your office is involved in the search for the recent
hijacker and the money involved,
| I am enclosing two clinsings from ay copy of the Sunday Nov. 28
Salem Statesman. JI notice a possibility of a relationship betwsen
tne two events and am calling it to your attention at the risk of
wasting your valuable time,

As I see it, the hijacker mentioned wanting to go to Mexico,
and tke ransom was naid in Mexico City. The amount the hijacker
received was :,200,000.00 and the ransom paid in ilexico was the same.
it is reported as dollars rather than so many pesos equal to approx-
imately so many dollars {or what ever she Mexican monetary dencminst-on
would be). The ransom was ovaid on Saturday abnut TWO days after the
hijacking. And last but not least, note the last paragraph with
regard to another kidnaping in Sept. 1971 of the Pederal AVIATICN
Director who was exchanged for '.2l,0,000.00 ransom,

"Ransom Paid by Family; —
Eight Prisoners Freed

By ELOY ©, AGUILAR
_Associaied Press Writer

(MEXICO city) (AP) — The
family of Dr. Jaime Castrejon|
Diaz reported paying 4 $200,0
ransom. Saturday night and the
tg
government announced the re-
Jease of eight of nine prisoners
whose freedom was demanded
in exchange for the kidnaped
university rector.

A Mexican guerrilla group,
the Vicente Guerrero Revolu-
onary Freedom Committee,
abducted Castrejon Diaz on
Noy. 19 in Guerrero state,

The 39-year-old rector of the
University of Guerrero also is
an industrialist, bactericlogist
and former mayor of Taxco.
There was no word of when he
would be released.

The guerrilla group made its

demands in a letter sent to a
local television station Friday
night.

The government announced
sthe release of eight of the pris-
oners but said a ninth remained
in custody because "we have
not been able fo identify him."
The prisoners had been held in
Mexico City and Chilpancingo,
the capital of Guerrero state.

Government sources said five
of the prisoners asked to be sent
to Cuba and would be taken to
the Cuban Embassy in Mexico
City.

The ransom letter 'said the,
nine were "political prisoners"
who should be guaranteed politi-
cal asylum in the embassy of!

Searchers Hunt i

WOODLAND, Wasn. (AP) —
Authorities hiked through rural

woodlands seeking traces of a
parachuting airline hijacker for
the second day Saturday. But
again they reported no clues.

. The hijacker is helieved to
gave bailed out over the 15-

square mile search area
Wednesday night after hijacking
the Northwest Airlines jet at Se-
attle. He had demanded and re-
eeived four parachutes and
«5200,009_ransom.

"We're concentraling our
search for a parachute," said
Tom Manning, FBI agent coor-
dinating the search. "We think
this will give us a clue as to
what happened to the hijacker.

"We've determined the hijack-
er was wearing a sport type
back pack parachute," Manning
said. 'That means it would be
difficult for him to maneuver if
he had any kind of bulk on him
at ali and we've heen told
$200,600 weighs over 20 pounds.'*

Authorities earlier said the ran-
som, Jargest ever paid a hijack-

er in the United States, was in-

$26 bills.

Searchers were told to look
for two whife parachute cano-
pies and portions of a pink one
which was found opened and
torn when the plane landed af
Reno, Nev., Wednesday night.

Searchers converged on a
large piece of white fabric Sat-
urday but if turned out fo be a
shelter for two young fisherrnen,

m on the banks of the Lewis Riv-

er,

"We checked reports of pos-
sible sightings but they all
proved false," said Clark Coun-
ty Sheriff Eugene Cofton.

Helicopters flown by pilots fa-
miliar with the terrain of the
farm and timber land of the
area, joined the search under
improving weather conditions.

Patchy fog hung over the area
Friday.

The air and ground search was
suspended Safurday when the
ceiling jowered, preventing use
of three helicopiers and three
fixed wing aircraft. The search
will be resumed Sunday if weath-
er permits,

Manning said house-to-house
interviews of residents would be
stepped up.

The hijacker—described as a
well dressed, calm, middle-aged
man, boarded the plane at Por-
tland, Ore., and kanded a stew-

ardess a nofe which sald he had
a bomb_with him and wanted fo
80 lain Mexico. *

While the plane circled Seat-
tle, the hijacker identified as D.
B. Cooper demanded the money
and parachutes. The 36 passen-
gers and two of the stewardess-
es were permitted to leave the
plane when it landed in Seattle
for refueling.

The man then ordered the
plane to be flown no higher than
10,000 feet and with the rear
'boarding door down, the landing

gear extended and 15 degree

flaps. The man remained in the
rear of the plane snseen by the
crew.

Capt. William Scott, the pilot,

said an indicator light showed ,

the rear bat was being op-
erated when the plane was over

would have done.

[believed that the unknown subject was b6
disappointed with the "chutes" that were given hin, He BIC
was probably expecting "sport chutes" instead of the buD
"enerrency chutes" that he got,

He stated that the reason the rear door of the 727

was not opened immediately after the airplane took off for
Seattle was because the unknown subject was "repacking" the
"chute™ and did not vant any air civculating in the airplane.
Ho said by making sone adjustments, the "emergency chute"
could have been altered so that it could be made into a
directional chute,

He advised that before an cxpericnced jumper would
jump, particularly at night, he would want to have about
b five miles of visibility and at least broken clouds at five
or ten thousand feet, He could pre-determine the above by
checking with Flight Service Station, FAA 282-7293, He
believes that unknown subject would jump near some populated
area, which he gould determine from lights. He believes
that because of the overcast and mountainous condition befwoon
Seattle and Cottage Grove, Oregon he would have considered
jumping in the Medford - Ashland, Oregon area, the Red Bluff,
California aren, or where the plane made the left turn to Reno,

Portland,, Oregon

Dear Friend
° I see P nobody" has found out what happened to the airplane hijacker

yet. I thot for sure that by Sunday someone would find the parachutes.
I have written several letters to you about £t and I guess this one
will finally be the. last. I hope I- have been some help in the case.
You 'will have to discount what I wrote about Springfield, Oregon tho

I guess. I-had the spirit pretty good Saturday nite and it told me
more about the case and repeated some of the things it had already
told me and you can bet yout bottom dollar that you were pretty hot

in looking for him at Woodland, but you have to go a little south

'and cross the Columbia.. The spirit told me so many times that he came

'down near a fair'-'came down over a fair' and even once said he was
ina fair that' I have pinpointed the Multnomah County fairgrounds or

. near it as the place. The spirit also said 'he came down over a Mare'

This 4s symbolic- it means an island like the fair area seems to be

on because Mare island in San Francisco is the symbolism- so Mare in .
this case means an island. It also said celery. -to me this also means
island, because in Spokane in the twenties when I was there, there

were wome chinese raising cekery in the delta part of a river there

not far from town- the southwestern section... Celery would mean then-
delta area. I have never been over around that section, but if I did

I would look around the columbia river on the west side and maybe near
the north end of Smith lake. Smith lake looks like a horse with his

front feet down and a saddie on his back., there are two little horns

or saddle horns I call them sticking up on the northern side of the

lake. Maybe this is what the spirit meant when it said ' he is ina Nf.
seater' There is a little inlet there on the north side of the lake. a)
If he made it accross the Columbia and got on the west side then he
probably let the chutes go in to the lake and they floated down the

river. The spirit seemed to say today Sunday that he had left the. A
area. It.is pretty definite with me then that he floated over the C
fair grounds. Maybe even the race track and dame down in the middle \
of it. There was a word came thru me early last week '- union' and-

I wondered what it meant and today in looking at the map I found a 4)
street or avenue called Union. I think he was on it and-either caught ff
a trollgy or walked on it. The spirit Saturday nite told me .
three times that he was a drugger. This means that he was narcotic.

It also said he was a collector. I wonder what he collected besides

the §200,000 ? Maybe he is seliing narcotics, also but there was
another aspect of the case~ it said he called a [__ Jana I thot it bé

- could mean his sweetheart, but at' least two times or more it said he b7C
'called a lawyer. Maybe he called a lawyer and the secretary answered.

Could he be maybe a wanted man and need a lot of money to buy himself
off? Maybe the lawyer is in cahoots with him and owns a light plane
and picked him up. He sure made a phone call according to the spirit.
When I was out walking bothe baturday and Sunday I got a message
twice- it said ' He had four' and then broke off. The sentence was
not finished. I figured he had four men in with him. How did he

know when to jump off. Did he go by lights or did he have something

in his brief case such as a powerful walkie talkie police
rigged up with someone on the ground? - i granpees "oom 7%
Maybe he was smarter than I thot he was and wageweat ae OF om jerware.
He could thus stand the cold in the plane better and"retere

the aid of some kind of drug or amphetamine.

@ @

I will nave to discount my idea of him having anything to do with the
forestry scnool south of Seattle airport. He is undoubtly in with a

geng. If he is in narcotics then ne nrobably also likes to gumble as

a high roller or play the horses and that is why he wanted to go to

geno and said something about Hexico. Maybe his buddies buy dope in

mexico and use a small plane to get it. I would cneck Light plane

liscenses issued to layyers issued in Portland, Seattle, and 'fenatcnee.

The reason I said Jenatchee is because something came thru me adout
Jenatchee. It also mentioned'Kentuckian' and the spirit called Kim a

Solonel and so I think he might be a Kentucky Golonel. If tne money was
marked you will probably find some of it pretty soon unless ne left the
country and went to Fonte Sarlo. That might be why the spirit said for

a courle of days ' He is in a seater' Maybe he flew out of the country

with the loot. I personally don't think you will find him, but you

might just find those chutes floating in the river or down at Astoria

one of these days, but I think he got avay now.

Phere was once the spirit seemed to say ' he paints' This might mean

he used a dye to cover up his greay hair.

Saturday I was out walking and the spirit said ' there's a bar' then it

broke off and a little later a bar vas bombed in 3elfast. I ne rd it on

the radio. On Friday it said Paris thru me three times and a litile

later on the radio I neard_of another hijackins in paris. I get these

words thru me every day. | | years ago I had the b6
noly ghost for three days and that was just a news flasn with whole b7C
sentences and paragraphs coming thru we . It is a pulsation. Nobody in

the United States could have it at the present time or I would know about

it. The only country I can think of th>t might be close is ted Onina.

I actually believe many chinese people at present time contact the spirit.
This is called Karma. If I had the holy ghost at present time I could

solve all your crimes or most of them anyhow, but sorry I don't have it.

I am the only one in the world at the present time who can sit at a
typewriter and say exactly wnat a man must do to contact God and have the
holy ghost. It really is very_si i ar, but if you are
ruptured you can't get it and b6é
It is all in the bible except the drinking of coffee. If you area yourg b7C¢
man shall we say between 20 and 35 then prepare to tuke a year out of your
life. Don't drink a cup of coffee in that whole year. Don't use the sex.

Do not smoke or drink. Give up all the animal foods. This includes milk,
butter, cheese znd ete. Go by what it says in the book of Genesis.

Z,t all the fruit and herbs. A good bowl of vegetable soup every dsy will

do it and a little oil or peanut butter , rye bread and any kind of

raw fruit and when the biood turns over you vill start to contact God

and he will send his_son the Christ and you will get burned out. Thit is
whet happened to me] | bé6

|} Now £8 only b7C

hear a few words. The burning out process takes about an hour and it
takes a year of good living and much walking to reacn it. A man is eitner
in the blood or out of the blood. If you eat a lot of blood producing
foods you will be in the blood and can't contact. If you eat fruits and
vegetables you give up your bdiocd gradually and build towards a flesh

and bone body. This is mentioned in the scriptures. The church people
all missed the boat. Je wouldn't hive a Viet Nam Yar or so much crime

now if men were working for the holy Ghost in this country and a permanent
peace would be a reality. The hard crust of the church system is

a hard nut to crack. They persist in following ceremony. God don't give
a hang about ceremony. Health minded people is wnat he is looking for,
Men wno walk and hike or ride a bicycle and be careful to eat the natural
fruits and vegetables and give up the sex and coffee and processed foods.
It does call for a little sacrifice and men gust don't give it all up.
Look about you and try to find 2 man who don't smoke, don't drink liguor
or coffee, don't use sex and a walker. A vegetarian? S3incerelv{___]

I\{ P. 3S. I wouldn't even beg ~urprised if this man actually workd at the fair.
» How many people work arourmgfthere ? 4 few guards I su@™se and who works at

the place where they keep the live stock and what doctors work uround there.
He might be an assistant vet and know something about drugs they give to
horses such as benezdrine. dust a hunch, because there was something that
came thru me about a doctor besides something adout a lawyer. I would check
ail personail at the fair grounds if it were me.

Portland, Oregon

Dear Friends:

Tnope you don't set mod at me if I write you one more letter
and sort of summarize the case of the $200,050. hijack in the sky.
I see that ne hasn't deen found yet 2nd n»turally it is an interesiitng
case. I guess I nave written you five or six letters about it and
guess I nad petter quit it or you w'll be after we, out I am only
trying to crack the case, I was thinking tovite or today if that man
was real intelligent or if he was kind of dumb. If he sas dumb he
nicht have stayed in the plane for an hour and a half and endured the
cold and kind of got caught like a rat in the trap, not anticipating the
extreme cold in the plane. I kind of think he was dumb, becuuse it
looks to me if he nad of been planning such a caper he would have
dressed in very warm clothing and it looks to me that it was a sort of
spur of the moment like a drunk would think up, because I don't think
ne was dressed very warm accordin: to what he 'as weuriag and what I
read in the papers. If he was intelligent then, he was 2ll prepared
to bail out of the plane, before he got very cold. I would say that
would be in less than 25 minutes. If this is true then, he would be
familiar with the seattle area and get out of the plane and know richt
where to go in @ hurry. I would say that he probably lived or worked '
near the area where ne got out. The otner day when I wrote a letter 1

ww,

to you I thot you were right about the Joodland, area and then I got
to thinking it might be the Seattle, Tacoma area, not far from the
airpbrt. Eegot out quick if he was smart, but if ne stayed too long 4
he was dumb and probably practically froze to death. f

I kind of go for the idea, that he came out near the Seattle area. cC>

I figure he lives in a small town like Snumeclay or Fuyallup. /,

I noticed on the mp there is a college of foresty below the airport, . 3
This is La G ande and Alder, Jash. onldn't it be funny if ne wa; a uy /

professor in this college and he taugnt smoke jumping. I think this
is a lead. All the pictures of the teachers in the school should be
showed to the stevardess on the ill fated plane. Annyone that had quit
recently would also be a suspect. It might be that he works around
one of those little towns and knew his way around. The spirit that I
told you I get occasionally told me that he madea nhone call. It could
nate peep netpre ne went up or after he came down. The spirit said, ne
called a » Tnat means he either called his wife, nis girl friend or
nis relatives, perhaps a sister. She could have come and picked nim up
near where he came down and they might have taken the chutes home with
them and burned tnem in the furnace and destroyed the evidence.
fhe spirit has plasted me sith different words and if you put them all
togetner tney make sense like a giant jig saw puzzle. The first day
of the caper, IJ remember tne vord-Ford and I thought spring was another
one. foday the word ferry came thru and about eisnt times it said he
is ina seater~- ne is ina seater. 'Joulid that mean ne fell in a tree
and is there dead like he was sitting ina tree? It said over a fair ,
Jame over a fair. Fair could mean fair grounds at Tuyallup or at
Multonoman north of Portland or at Kelso, Like the converts OFS GF
some kind of place like a park where people are congregra g li at
nistoric site. There is even a town called PairvaBet ocozmoss fror _,» |
the Solumbia or Villazette. The phrase near @ fair over 2 @Gie-capee|
thru me many times now in the last few days. I like to think of the
Puyallup Fair at Puyallup. Perhaps ne lives near here or works tnere or
did go there or come down near it. The word Ford night -mean eA
owns a ford car, but the word car came thru 'te too. 'Maybe he ork be
a Ford dealersnip or Pord garage near where he came down in one of

* * é ny : llege.
these smill towns near the aircort. There was also the word co leg

The~word college made AW of that college of , after = had seen
it on the map and wondered if he had any connection with it. What do you
think

Two or three things stand out then. If he were smart he bailed out

quickly and knew just what he was doing and got home in no time, because

he probably lived around there. I don't personally think he was smart

at all and probably had never been down in a parachute at all. JI think

he is dead someplace, but it is sure funny that the chutes have not
showed up and neither has he. There are a lot of people out looking for

hin.

What the spirit told me then is 'he is in a seater' He could be ina
swivel chair, in a plane seat heading for another country, in a car going
to east coast. I will see now in the next day or two if the spirit still
persists in saying-ne is in a seater. If this be true then I think he is
dead in a tree or dead in a bleachers at a fairgrounds where he nit when
he came down, but I have another. great idea aboutijtoo.

The fact of the matter is the spirit keeps saying and especially. Dec 3-

he is in a seater sevetal times and 'he came down over a fair' near a fair
came thru several times--The word car and the word Ford came thru several
times. He dialed or called al Jand something about a store or drugstorebé
where he called. Since this word car and Ford began to bug me lately b7¢
then I think I stumbled. on another lead. This is really a kick in the
pants and wait until you see it ¢ and hear about it. The day before the caper
the spirit had talked thyr! me about a spring, but I thot it was the spring
in my heater that is on the bum and it also said something about a field.

I have a swell map of Oregon and I was looking at it and guess what I saw.
Boy is this deduction, Take a look at the city map of Springfield, Oregon.
I never saw anything like it. It looks like a car or a Ford and it even
has a seat in it where the Mckenzie River and Mohawk rivers cut into the
city center. It looks like a seat in @ car and the whole town, the way it
is layed out looks like a Pord or a car. Right north of the seat where

the seat is you will see on the map a park called Armitage state park. ©
This could mean the fair- the seat and the car. Isn't that the cats?

I imagine the area nndrth of the seat is wooded. It sure is worth a try
and I consider it a good lead. I don't know if the plane path went thru
Springfield or not. Maybe it went close to it -better check this very
important clue. If he waited this long to bail out and didntt have

heavy clothing on then I would say he was 2 dumbell and was probably so.
cold and frozen that he couldn't even pull the chute string and he is a
corpse laying down there someplace.

There is another angle to this case, too. People today are not nice

like they were in the twenties and thirties as a rule and if anybody has
found the corpse and' the money the chances are that they would keep the
money and never report it. There may be a few honest people left yowever.
Ihope you have the money marked with ultra- violet for black light.

If the Cooper guy is smart and really lives in Seattle area in a small
town and has the money HE will probably cash some of it in the Seattle
city center and not in his smail town. 4 little at a time, or take a plane
out of the country. I think he is a crackpot myself and I. arrive at my
decision thru the light clothes he was wearing and it just might be he is
@ corpse near Springfield, Oregon right now.

Sincerely,

b6

Yesterday the spirit talked thru me and said paris a couple or three bic

times and I started lookang for a french name like Rainier, Wsh.
because Prince Rainier of Monaco has a principality near France, but

it proved to be another hijack at Paris. It also said sewers a couple
of times and I thot maybe the man landed near Seattle and hid the chutes
in a culvert or drainage ditch, but it rained down her and hence the
word sewers meant the coming rain would | probably flood some se@wers.

ia all

The foliowine is an editorial representing the opinion of
KPOK.

Much news of late hes been devoted to the recent airline hi-

jacking between Portland and Seattle. Many have marvelled at

the skill of the daredevil who schemed this crime. Some even 7
have gone so far as to say they would like the hijacker to

succeed ... to escape justice. Apparently these people have

iet their emotions get caught up in the hoopla of this bizarre

pilot, and the dreams of easy money. '

b6
[ says, "The hijacker has won the public's admira~ BIC
tion through an awesome feat in the battle of man against the
machine ... one individusi overcoming, for the time being any~
way, technology, the corporation, the establishment, the
system."

That may be so, but lest we forget the facts of the case, this
hijacker did commit a crime ... a serious crime. What's more,
he jeopardized the safety of 42 other persons aboard that jet-
liner, md took something that did not belong to him. As one
local FBI agent put it, "Some people may think this is fenny,
but they won't be laughing if it happens again. It could give
other criminals ideas, and this we surely don't need."

We hope law enforcement officers apprehend this hijacker soon,
and we urge the public to cooperate with clues, or in any other _
way, that will see this person is held to answer for his crime.

Your contrary views are invited.

'age Los An@es, California
r ) Decemoer &, I97I.

KF, B. I.
Portiand, 'Oregon

Dear Friends: ,

I promised I wouldn't drop you any more letters in regard to the
missing plane hijacker for the 200,000. but I weakened again this
morning-Wed. the 8th of Decemb2r. I don't suppose you mind either if -

I can supply information that might help you. I guess I have written
about seven letters in all and most of them are supposition, but still
I ama spiritual man in a way and words that have kept coming thru me
may be helpful in the case. If you put all the words togéther side by
side they sure make sense and fit together some way like a cross word
puzzle. I think you will find this true in the end. The trouble with
me is I am impulsive and try to work too hard on a case and might get
things all balled up in my own mind. I relaxed monday and tuesday and
was going to forget the case, but tuesday nite, that was last nite I
was thinking again of the case and decided to put the parts together
again or try. to fit in the pieced. It was good for me to relax from
the case, because I contacted my guardian angel yesterday and I haven't
been contacting her of latd and she is very seldom Wrong. | I rememb2r
she contacted me at the first of the case and said' he. never made it
'he never made it. That would mean he is dead someplace in a field.

I heard the world field.

I was thinking last nite if I were the man and noticed that it
was getting cold in the plane. I would probably get ready to get
out in-a hurry. I would look at my money in the-sack and go over
and open up & parachute and get a rope or piece of clothe and tie it 1
up tight and then strap a parachute on my back and probably tie another
one on the front of me and get the heck out of there holding the bag
in one hand with my brief case inside the bag. The spirit also gave
me another word last nite--tt said he connected-this means perhaps tha
he tied two parachutes together somehow. They might have become
entangles and he plummeted down to earth and died, . The strange eningdy *
is why hasnt he been found. I think the flying time for him was
between I2 minutes and '(55 minutes. Somewhere in the lapse of time.

I don't know the exact glidepath of the plane, so I am hampered in that_
respect, but somewhere in that lapse of time and space you will .
probably find your man and I believe you will find him dead, because

I actually believe he was a dumbell and not too smart. If he Was"
smart he would have dressed warmer and then too, he would have had
pals working with him on the ground. My latest belief-then, is that
he was a dumbed and is dead.. The spirit gave me a word last nite

and it was 'settlers' I heard the word before the monday after the
caper. I was trying to figure what it meant and the nearest I can
figure it refers to a settlement , a wagon train, or emmigrant train.
There is the words -Lewis and Clark on the map near Marys Corner, WasH
It might mean the particular area where. he fell was covered by-early
settlers. The word farmer came thru me and. of course, connec and
then those other words such as ford which.couid mean"a Ford car' or it
in this case could mean to ford a river..the word union could mean

two rivers and the word ferry could mean ferry accross the river.

I actually. bel#eve now that He came down between two rivers.

\y'
sy

The Deschutes and Skookumchuch and of course the Nisqua ic
important to me. Probably between the Deschutes a @—Skookumehuek |
rivers would be the place he came down and the wor une

rivers and the word ford meant-he had to ford them & Gassaiive

and made it then he forded a river and the word.fa sctwansd Megp—ne ar,
a gathering place such as a historical monument or 4
It could have been on the Lewis. and Jlark trail. : oo
My idea now, however, is that it was near Vall, Washington. A pinpoint

on the mape here would be a good idea. ; : DB Cooper-40720

As I said before, I cont»xcted my guardian 2ngel yesterday and as

I was concentr:ting on the subject she said' le didn't stay in ther long'

I think this is a good lead- He wasn't very long in +

Ioused to work in a small town called Grind Joulee in * b6

jnere vas 2 drug store that I used to go to for a malt or ice crean duck b7C

in taose days and the name of it was Vie and Vals. TInat is why I said f

Vall, Jasnington might be a good scene of operation. My guardian

angel yesterday said -nave a malt. She knows I never have one any more,

That night I started to look at the map and there is this town called

Vall and a verson could fan out in what looks like some pretty

wild country around there along those three rivers. That is where I

think now that he is down. hy the nellicopte-s have not nicked up

the chutes is a mystery. It might take some hiking in there to find

him. The word narrow came thru me, too. Maybe a narrow neck of

land or narrow ledge signifies what it means. I am beginning to discount

that ne ever got as far as Portland without outside help.

I am beginning to believe ne was & Loner, altho the phrase c:me thru

me- He had four and then broke off. 'Ihat this means is a mystery to me.

I noticed that four men got aray at Phoenix the other day in a lite

plane and left »ehind over a hundred thousand dollars worbh of Narijuansa.

I think this guy was a dope alris:t, because the svirit nas said - he

was a drugger-He vas a drugger. He vrobably drank, too and I don't think he
qas very brignt. I think tre place to search, then, is east of Vall, Jasna,

ia an east and south or north direction along those rivers. I would

be willing to bet two dollard to a donut ( to a buraside) donut that I a:

rignt. It mignt be that some furmer is going to find him or already has,

Some dishonest rerson might bury him and the chutes and keep the noard

of money. In this case I would look for the money if it was marked to

show up in one of those smail towns like Vall, Sinneoar or saikun or

Harys Sorner. by voreference is Vall rignt at the present time. The area

vest of Snoqualmie National Forest. This reminds me too, of the snirit.

One day it said near a Federal, I didn't get the last of the Phrase and

now this might de very important--Just west of Snoqualmie Nat'l. Forest

between the road leading along cinebar and north to the Skookumchuch

and Descnutes River. This looks hot to me now and I almost feel Like i

doing some hiking myself and coming up ther 2nd doing a little road work

myself, but guess I .son't. My idea of c urse is supposition, out you

can't go against the vords that I hive and the phrases that came thru me.

when you put all the words and phrases together, they mike sense,

I fly off on a tangent, sometimes and try to rush too fast into the enigma.

Right now I could almost draw a line between huckleberry mountain

and Yall and nit the jackpot in my mind's eye, hovever.

Sincerely,

b7C

She noticed no activity at the parachute center
during the day of 11/22/71, although the center usually
has somebody around during the day. She believes a
piane flew out of there the night of the hijacking, time
not recalled, which is unusal. Further, recently, she
noticed that members of the parachute center were catching
a football thrown from a plane, and they have parachute

that two of them jumped in windy, snowy weather.

She added that there are frequently cars at the
center at unusual times, 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. in the morning.
She feels this possibly is due to concern on the part of
the members of the parachute center as to possible
vandalism, or other action against their property|

FBI — PORTLAND

Gentlemen: . . oe

=

Yesterday 1 dropped you a line or two asout the case of the:

missing $200,000 air Jack. I mentioned the word settler or setilers
nad come thru me and today the vord railroad came thru me and I
remember the word came thru me .bhe nite of the Hijack. Just what it
means I don't know, but I started to make out a Little map showiag
the railroads and I think the spirit felt sorry for me and now I
am sure T have the hottest clue to the case yet. The vord c.ame thru
loud and clear. J% said 90 miles. I think this is very definitely
something to go to work on. T don't know the exact glide path of the
plane from seattle-Tacoma airnort and I don't knoy for sure if I am
right with my crude map, but you might have an expert check the right
map and ascertain 'rhere the district is just (90-miles from 3eatile
airport). I get it around the Kalama river region or possibly around
vigeon springs in Sowlitz county, Jasnington. You were 211 looking
around Woodland and I get it about I2 miles or so above Yoodland.

the fact that the spirit said he was sitting in a seater might mean
ne is sittings in a ditch or creek in there dead or then too, he might
pe sitting in a syivel chair in some office laushing at the world with
the tyvo hundred grand. According to what my suardian angel said-~

He wasn't in the plane long and 'He never «adé itrseems to reaffirm Ae
to me that 90 miles tight be just about the right distance, because,

it don't take a plane long to fly this distance. How many minutes <>
does it tuke? nen the caper was first nulled about even two days On
cefore it the spirit "ad sroken thru me about a Snring. Do you

remember in one of my first previous letters? I tnot it was a . NSP

spring down near Vill city, but when I measured the distance on my
erude map- it came out pigeon spring. I thot tne word union might
have meant tvo railroads or two rivers coming together. 3erteen
Rainier and toy fushnirston the KN. P. runs a railroad line and then
sunother spur track runs below it and parallel to it as I have drsm
on the map of mine. I think the tip of the day wow. is the idea-
of 9Q0-miles from takeoff. Avery good clue. Sometizes I get
words that don't have 2nything to do vith this case as for instance
two days avo I was walting down the street and the spirit said'subs'.
Today I saw the headlines in the piper~tussiun Sub fired on by
Pa'isten. Jnen I woke up this morning the spirit manifested thru me
and said they are 'going to bom) the butidings again' This meins
another rash of bimbings. Onee before when the spirit said t-is--
They bombed the 3ank of america 2t Isle of Vista up near 3an Francisco.
Soirit also said this morning that Fidel distro was raiding us.
This means that sombeBody from mainland Guba is slivping into our
country 20d is nighly sxilled 2t the use of explosives.
I wisn I had a camp and about I00 young men about or between the
age of 20 and ,40 and I would train them to have the holy ghost.
If I had it now I could tell you many thins. It takes about a
year of training to produce men with the holy ghost and they will
never know under the existing conditions.
Hope my new clue spirit gave me (90 miles) will crack the ease.

Thereafter, | | furnished the following information
regarding Radiation International, Inc., of which Electronics
Speciality was a subsidiary previous to a recent merger;

SNIDER, previous to his employment as a journeyman
lathe operator, started with the company as a general
beginner's helper, was promoted to drill press operator,
culminating with final position of lathe operator. His
occupation as lathe operator did not indicate that he was
skilled in the area of electronics, and in fact, Radiation
International, Inc did not manufacture any electronic
equipment or components, It was engaged in prefabricating and
manufacturing various component parts to airplanes, such as
wing assemblies, door assemblies, etc, These parts were
manufactured as separate items, and in no way would a person
being employed at Radiation International be familiar with
the construction of the total airplane. Ail recommendations
of supervisors of SNIDER at the time of his termination
were favorable, and there was nothing in SNIDER''s personnel
file of an unfavorable nature, No hobbies were indicated
in his personnel file, nor yas [___] knowledgeable regarding
anyone employed by his plant who would have interests in
parachuting.

References %D. B. Cooper' hijacking case,
Northwest Airlines Flight 305, 11/24/71. Portland-Seattle.

Gentlemen,

Since the writer patronizes various airlines in the course: of my 'business,
I dont look forward to being on a hijacked plane at some future date.
Furthermore, I dont feel any "hero worship" toward the recent hijacker, as
some seem to do lately. I am interested only fn.-apprehénding. the' guilty
parties involved.

It is encouraging to note that the list of serial numbers of the $20

bills has been released. On the other hand, from a practical matter,
how am I or anyone else going to be able to check the bills in my own
possession from a 35=page List not readily available to the pubite?

I have a suggestion for your consideraion, and I hope that through
copies of this letter te the editors of the Oregonian and to the Oregon
Journal, they will both do their bit to promote the following:-

The prime unanswered question on this case at the moment is whether

the hijacker was successful and is alive and well somewhere spending

a part of his loot or whether there is an unopened parachute somewhere
attached to a corpse. Obviously, when the first 20 dollar bill shows up
in trade somewhere, this question wiil be answered.

instead of just a few bank and government empkoyeeS Looking for some of the
listed serial numbers, consider how many thousands of times more effective it
would be if the general public assisted you!

The quick and relatively inexpensive way to do this is for the government
to post the list in every major postoffice, along side the "men wanted
posters and simultaneously through the press and TV, offer to purchase the
first ten (10) $20 bills turned in at $100.00 each! What mae incentive
could you give the general public to participate? And what a pittance to
pay, as compared with the cost to date of your manhumt so far?

A Oe Vo Vf 7 ™
Further, many of my friends and possibly most of the general f= A ar
erronously under the impression that if they should find on®of these $20 bills
and attempt to report it, it wili be confiscated as stolen property,
Consequently, no one has any serious thoughts of even looking for the

identified bills and would prefer to cover it up rather than report it, if
bEbs. aie Between your office with a purchi.se offer, and the news media, b6

u could really get a mass inspection program going immediately! I am a 7c
