This was done at speeds of approximately 150 knots. Opening ar

the rear stairs in flight at speeds at 150 to 170 knots would |

Subject:
NORJAK a ban,
00: SEATTLE Ne f

For purposes of information, during the last week of 5
4/90, JERRY REX ADAMS was in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Resident 7\
Agency to install _ vertical blinds and during this procedure,

inquired from SAs| __|if the FBI b6
had ever caught D. B. COOPER. ADAMS then provided the following b7c
information:

ADAMS stated that during the time frame of the NORTHWEST
AIRLINES hijacking, there was a number of newspaper articles
which revealed the likeness or showed photographs of an
individual who used the name of D. B. COOPER during this
hijacking. ADAMS stated these pictures closely resembled an
individual known to him as MIKE SULLIVAN, who worked with ADAMS>~<
as a volunteer fireman in the Kellogg, Idaho, Volunteer Fire
Department.

ADAMS stated that SULLIVAN was a sport parachutist and
used to keep his parachute hung up in the fire department hose
tower. ADAMS added that when SULLIVAN left the fire department,
he went to either Los Angeles or San Francisco, California, and
obtained work as a baggage handler for one of the major airlines,
although, ADAMS could not remember which airline SULLIVAN worked
for. ADAMS stated that he has not seen SULLIVAN since SULLIVAN
left the fire department and traveled to California.

ADAMS thought SULLIVAN would have been in his mid to late
20s at the time of the hijacking incident. ADAMS stated SULLIVAN
was approximately 6'0 tall, well built, 150-160 pounds, having
dark black hair which may have been curly, and sometimes wore a
beard. ADAMS described SULLIVAN as a nice guy, but a dare devil
who waS a con-man, in that money lent to him would never be .
returned. '

ADAMS advised that SULLIVAN's mother lived in Spokane,
Washington, although he could not recall] SULLIVAN's mother's
first name. ADAMS believed that SULLIVAN was born in Spokane,

Washington.

ADAMS stated that SULLIVAN worked for the BUNKER HILL
MINING COMPANY in Kellogg, Idaho, although it may have been
called the PITLER MINES at that time. ADAMS advised that the

main office for the BUNKER HILL MINING COMPANY was in the COEUR
D'ALENE MINES Building located at 501 Front Street, Coeur | _

d'Alene, Xdaho. '

ADAMS stated that he provided this information to the
police department in Kellogg, Idaho, during the time of the press
coverage, although he felt that they did not do anything about
it.

ADAMS stated that FRANK CRNKOVICH, Sheriff, Shoshone
County, Idaho, knew SULLIVAN and may know more about the
incident. ADAMS added that the only other individuals_he could
think of who may have known SULLIVAN would have jheen!

who lives in Post Falls, Idaho, or his brother, | who

The following information was obtained concerning ADAMS

SeaTac International Airport, were interviewed on December
6, 1971, by SA EDWARD J. ANDERSON, regarding the Opaque

displayed is not the standard type used by Northwest Airlines
nationwide. It is possible that this bag may have been
substituted aboard #305 on November 24, 1971, by airline
personnel somewhere along the line, but it is highly improbable: J

AT LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Through review of appropriate records and interviews
of employers, associates or other persons in a position to
know of their whereabouts, it has been reported that the
following listed individuals were in the Southern California
area at the time the Northwest Airlines plane was hijacked
on November 24, 1971. In view of this, they do not appear

to warrant further consideration as logical suspects at this
time: ,

RE: DANIEL LEWIS COOPER

SAC TOM FARROW called from Springfield on
12/1/71. He says they have developed a suspect in one
DANIEL LEWIS COOPER who was a Green Beret; is a con
man; has an arrest record and has a hobby of aviation. They
have a photo which is 10 years old, but they think it is a
good photo and it looks like the composite,

They are going to send us a teletype and pat
the photo on the facsimile machine.

XI requested also that they send it to
Minneapolis and that they pursue this vigorously in order
to determine COOPER's background and particularly where
he is now.

Attempts to locate GRIFFIN thus far have met with
negative results. It is recommended that further investi-
gation of GRIFFIN with regard to this matter be terminated
due to the fact that information was developed on February
24, 1972, that GRIFFIN was partially lame and had a definite
limp in the other leg.

DUE TO AGENT'S TRANSFER IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS
SUSPECT BE REASSIGNED.

country up into about seven regions with a total membership
of about 25,000 to 30,000 people.

He further indicated that ho firmly belicved that
if this had been a skydiver who committed the hijacking, the
skydiver would not have come from the Northwest section of the
United States, He believed that since most skydivers know each
other in a section of the.country, this would preclude it being
an individual from that section of the country.

MajorL____ advised the jump from 10,009 fect in
bad weather is not a great physical feat and there would be no
problem in jumping at that altitude in bad weather, He advised
that an individual would not need jump boots and stated that
he, himself,has skydived with tennis shoes on.

At this time Major [was shown an artist con~
ception of an individual, allegedly the hijacker of Northwest —
Air Lines Flight 305, and he indicated he did not know anybody
in his_section of the country who fit this description,

Major | |further stated that whoever sect up the hijacking
operation in this case knew quite a lot about airplanos. He
further indicated that probably the reason behind the four

_parachutes given to the hijacker was that the hijacker wanted

to test the good faith of the people on the ground inasmuch as

a skydiver would be able to tell whoethor or not parachutes wore
operable, He further indicated that if two parachutes were left.
behind in the aircraft, the hijacker could have dropped one
fchutésand activated it as a decoy to ward off any trailing -air=
craft, and then could have bailed out after the decoy 'chute was

RE: NORJAK

Re Seattle teletype to Butte dated 12/20/71.

"Enclosed for Seattle are 15 copies of an investigative
insert containing the names of individuals who were: the
subjects of investigation and whose whereabouts were established
by the Los Angeles Division and/or results of investigation
and interviews revealed the person whose name was furnished
to the Los Angeles Division as a possible suspect, did not:
appear to warrant further consideration as a logical suspect
at that time.

Details of investigation will be retained in the
Los Angeles case file-for captioned matter.

Referenced Seattle teletype requested contact
with logical informants, banks, news media and review of
bank robbery suspects to insure maximum coverage and
development of logical suspects.

A memorandum setting forth details of the hijacking
has been disseminated to all Agents in the Los Angeles Division
requesting all logical informahts be contacted and Special
Agents concerned with bank robbery suspects have been reouested
to remain alert for individuals who could be considered
logical suspects in this matter.
