a from Miami. He said that an
individual by the name of BoB FOST , 21702 25th

Fontinbleu with $40,000 in cash. He told various real estate
people he wanted to buy real estate in Miami and is currently
lookingzfor some.

He is described as:

Race: White

Sex: Male

Age: 47-50
Height: oe WP
Weight: one
Eyes: NESy

Hair: Brown
Telephone No.: 206-SK2~3240.

said it was his thought may be he was our

hijacker.

I told him he did not necessarily fit the description
but to check the serial numbers on the $20.00 bills against the
list which he should have. He said he would do this.

a

He suggested that even though he does not fit the
description, we should determine through available sources
in Tacoma, just who he is and how he happens to have $40,000
in cash.

RE:

Re memo of SA| | dated 3/22/72.
. On 4/18/72, | _ was contacted at his b6

residence by telephone_in Kent, Washington. At that time, bic
advised that ___] sold him a 1964 ,

Chevrolet pickup during the last part of November or the

first part of December, 1971. said that he

is fairly well acquainted with and knew that he

had driven the pickup from North Dakota ju nd

during the Thanksgiving Holiday of 1971 as had _

advised him that he would be doing so prior to
'going to North Dakota to pack vP the vehicles.

gaid that he had told tha arrived in
Seattle with the pickup truck that might be
interested in purchasing it. said that there was

no question in his mind that | | had been to North

Dakota and had arrived in Seattle shortly after Thanksgiving

in 1971 after having been in North Dakota for the purpose

of driving the 1964 Chevrolet pickup which purchased
and another pickup to Seattle from North Dakota.

' In view of the fact that| | physical b6
description is not similar to that of the hijacker in | bic
the NORJAK hijacking and that | |story regarding

his whereabouts during the time of the hijacking appears

to be credible, it is recommended that no further investiga-~

FROM: WA SAC, LOS ANGELES (164-497) (P)
SUBJECT: NORJAK

5! 73",

3178 pounds, brown hair, and blue-grey eyes, was interviewed at
his place of business, Daniel L. Cooper, Associated Insurance,

Suite 111, 3951 Huntington Drive, Pasadena, California.

Mr. COOPER advised he|

via Holiday Airlines at 7:00 p.m., on that date.

had traveled to Reno, Nevada, on 11/24/71,
He stated that they had left Los Angeles International Airport

On the same date, |

[ California, was contacted at her residence and
corroborated the information furnished| and
et da

made available a copy of Holiday Airlines tic ed 13/2/71

from Los Angeles to Reno, Nevada.

DANIEL L. COOPER was observed to be short-y and
stocky in build with a very round face. He did not appear to

resemble the artist's conception of the hijacker. Mr.

stated he had never been a parachutist and, although having
obtained a pilot's license, he has not flown a plane of any

~-

kind for several years.

In view of the above, it does not appear DANIEL L.
COOPER warrants additional consideration as a logical suspect

in this matter and no further investigation is contemp
at this time.
