advised that on or about December 13, 1971, he 'picked a man

up in Portland, Oregon, who looked a "rot like the composite

drawing of the UNSUB. He stated that the man entered his bus

from Fifth Avenue in Portland and that the man already had

a ticket. He stated that he left the man off at Bridgeport

that the man told him that he had to ' pick up a car at the |

south end of Tacoma. He advised that he got one quick look

at the man as the man exited the bus. He described the man

as white male, approximately 40 years old, height 5* 10",

weight 145 to 150, dark hair and dark complexion, no luggage.

NORJAK Suspects at End of 1989: 1,042
Number of Suspects Processed and ~~
Eliminated During the Year: 24
Occasionally, suspects are reopened because new
evidence indicates a "second look" is warranted. One suspect

that received national press coverage was JOHN EMIL LIST
(Suspect 203).

LIST was considered a suspect because he became a
fugitive 15 days prior to NORJAK. He matches the general
description of UNSUB, also known as DAN COOPER. He killed his
family partially because he was despondent over monetary
problems. He served in the military and may have had airborne
training. ~

The Newark Division advised by airtel dated 7/24/89,
that a review of LIST's U.S. Army records reflect no receipt by
LIST of airborne training. A review of suspect File 203
reflected that LIST's photograph has been displayed to the three
victin stewardesses. All three stated that LIST was not
identical to UNSUB.

No further investigation will be conducted by Seattle
concerning JOHN EMIL LIST.

Dear Sirs:

With reference to the hijack-ransomed plane just before
Thanksgiving.

I would like to suggest a remotely possible lead to the
people involved in this crime. I do it quite diffidently
because the people I suggest are fellow employees at
Rubens & Pratt, consulting engineers.

One person, Ray Ingold, 29008 22nd S., Auburn_is an
electrical dngineer who has worked at R&P for less than a
year. He bears a certain resemblance to the sketch of the
person who hijacked the plane although he may be taller
than the description indicates.

The other,fRobert R. Irwi 6702 227 St. S.W., Mountlake
Terrace, i aratively new employee and 1S a private
pilot and has his own plane.

It is most probable that these people are not involved, but
regardless of the outcome of any investigation I do not
want my name mentioned at any time in any way.'

Yours truly,

RE: NORJAK

other persons having access to this machine and where appropriate
consider them as suspects. Do not overlook possibility that

y have relatives that could be considered as suspects: 6
noting the hijacker used the name Dan Cooper. pic

Promptly advise results of your investigation concerning

__]who has been suggested as a suspect.

The Seattle Office should consider soliciting cooperative
radio, television, and newspaper outlets in pertinent areas to
encourage listeners to examine $20 bills and check them against
the ransom lists at police departments and FBI Offices. Copies
of the ransom list could be furnished cooperative radLo, ' television,
and newspaper sources. -

The Bureau has noted instances where services are volunteered
(such as by the U. S. Air Force) by individuals who do not have
in factsthe authority to do so. . In the future, insure the person
volunteering the services has the authority to make the offer and .
do not set out leads to have higher authorities contacted without ,
consulting the Bureau before hand. , a

Seattle should continue to afford this matter vigorous a
and immediate attention. Consider unsub dangerous. "

RE: | b6
(Oi b7C

Supervisor MATHEISON called from the Bureau.

He said that this |had the Bureau
somewhat excited since the Laboratory had just compared

a letter which they got from the files of
Pilots Association with the typing on the
letters which were sent to the WASHINGTON and several

other newspapers.

The Lab report says that this is the same style
of type and certain limited characteristics suggest the
possibility that they may have been prepared on the same
'typewriter. For this reason they want us to check him
out today, if possible, and advise the Bureau by telephone
or teletype.

I advised_sA| lto call Spokane and Everett b6
and to check with and get all investiga- b7C
tion done today. It appears he is still| |
employee and company records may show where he was on the

day in question.
