Legat, Tokyo concerning LAWRENCE. This file indicated

LAWRENCE was once employed as a navigator by Flying Tiger
Airlines and had claimed, under suspicious circumstances,
that money was stolen from his hotel room in Hong Kong,

On 1/18/72, records of the California Department of
' Motor-Vehicles revealed HAROLD JOHN LAWRENCE, JR., born
12/21/33, nad resided at 3008 Poinsettia, Manhattan Beach,
California, as of 5/26/70.

4+ wee m Envestigation revealed LAWRENCE had moved from the
above address in early 1971 to 1813 Meadows Avenue, Manhattan
Beach. On 1/24/72, a neighbor advised that LAWRENCE resides
at 1813 Meadows Avenue with his wife and six-year old son
and recalled LAWRENCE having driven her and her family home
from Los Angeles International Airport on 11/26/71. She
did not see LAWRENCE on 11/24/71, as she was in Alabama.

On 2/7/72, LAWRENCE was interviewed by SA's

| and C. ROBERT STRANGER in the vicinity of his

residence. He stated ne had no Knowledge whatsoever of the
hijacking of the Northwest Airlines plane in Seattle on 11/24/71.
He 'claimed he was derinitely in the Los Angeles area at

that time stating he had Thanksgiving dinner with relatives,

but could not readily recall where he had Thanksgiving dinner.
LAWRENCE aoe nee ne as_unemploved and would probably
have been with

on 11/24/71. we stated he would consult with

. mh an 6rfort to recall exactly where he was and
who he was with on that date.

' '= 1a

; In view of LAWRENCE's vagueness as to where he spent
Thanksgiving and the probability he will furnish names of
close relatives to establish his whereabouts on 13/24/71,
Seattle, Minneapolis and Portland are requested to display
enclosed photographs to witnesses to ascertain if he should

be considered a logical suspect.

UNSUB SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

Re Sddd tg airtel to Seattle 2/19/72

has previously been
interviewed extensively on this case and several possibilites
disucssed with him. He had no suspects.
It is noted that lead in this airtel is to identify a parachutist
"who jumps in the water because of a disabling accident and one can
assume this chutist is somewhat imobile. It is believed that the
hijacker in this case has full use of all of his extremities and
witnesses did not tell of any physical disability. It is noted that
the person they want us to identify is in a wheel chair.
A man confined to a wheel chair did not hijack the plane in this
case.

MANNER AND MEANS

1@.; a part of the conspirdp that the defendant

also known as

to an advertisement in the Seattle Times newspaper solicitin

a contact from the alleged aircraft hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper"|:

called Karl Payne Pleming at his home in Los Angeles,

California on or about February 1, 1972 and stated that he

touch with "D. B. Cooper", knew his true identity and could

arrange an interview.

It was further a part of the conspiracy that the

defendants aiso known as

and Donald Sylvester Murphy arranged for Donald Sylvester
Murphy to pose as the alleged aircraft hi-jacker "D. B.

Cooper", photographed Donald Murphy wearing

a wig and glasses and otherwise appearing much like the

widely circulated "artist's conception" of "D. B. Cooper"

and delivered a print to Karl Fleming

and Donald Murphy arranged

to copy three twenty dollar pills with serial numbers taken
from the ransom money list - superimposed - so as to appear
to be copies of twenty dollar bills acquired by the alleged
hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper" as ransom for the release of
passengers on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on November 24, 1971.

It was further a part of the conspiracy that the

defendants also known as and

Donald Sylvester Murphy falsely represented Donald Murphy

to be the alleged hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper" when they met
with Kar @erening at the Swept ting Pn in King County,

Washihgton on.or about February 16, 1972 and|
Karl Fleming

It was further a part of that the

defendants | also known as

and Donald Sylvester Murphy prepared Donald Murphy to pose
as the alleged hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper" by reading the
published information about the hi-jacking of 'Flight 305
and the alleged hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper" and otherwise
developing a plausible 'theory of the hi-jacking which began
with a "confession" of the crime. Extraordinary steps for
the security of the alleged hi-jacker "D. B. Cooper" such as
requiring that the cameraman and audioman recording the
interview do so from an extreme distance while wearing ear-

plugs, added credibility to the fraudulent scheme.

FLEMING advised that Monday, 2/21/72, was a
federal 'holiday and "COOPER" made himself unavallable
because he was going to Nevada or because his relatives
were visiting at his home.

Since "COOPER" was unavailable on that day,
FLEMING and drove around Seattle looking for secure
places to photograph and record an interview with
COOPER. FLEMING said that|_}was an "idiot" because
he at first suggested a public park which had too many
people and later to another beach which was also unsuitable
but they finally located another heach which they accepted.

On the following day Tuesday, 2/22/72, FLEMING
interviewed COOPER to get the details of the hijacking and
said he actually interviewed "COOPER" over two or three
different days. "COOPER" did not use prepared notes
but gave the information"off the top of his head."

On the last day that FLEMING wag in Seattle, he
conducted what he termed a summary interview with "COOPER"
which was the game day on which the photographing and
recording was done by | |

During the photographing a Xerox copy of the three
$20 bills was held up by COOPER and was to be included in the

picture. During the process, copy was dropped
and this apparently was what recalled when he
was interviewed.

When asked what he had done with that Xerox copy
of the money, FLEMING said he burned :it right there on the
beach.

SA advised that | Jas presented
to the Bureau and later to New York Was typed by. FLEMING
himself and the "FORWARD" represents FLEMINGS dream to get a

story of the hijacker and of the call which finally started
his story on "D.B. COOPER."

said FPLEMING felt at least 90% sure that

he had talked to the hijacker while in Seattle and

| felt that probably in his wave of enthusiasm,

FLEMING, an experienced newsman, overlooked what are now
apparent shortcomings in questioning COOPER.

On 4/27/72 I called sa Jat the

Bureau and told him that undoubtedly in view of the laboratory
examination of the xerox copies of the bills, showing that
they were not the same as the bills shown in the microfilm of
the ransom moncy, together with the other facts, we knew this
was obviously a fraudulent scheme and it had nothing to do
with the hijacking.

IE advised him, however, that to be doubly sure
we wer having the photograph of DONALD SYLVESTER MURPHY
shown to the witnesses in -linneapolis and Portland, having
already shown them to the Seattle witnesses, who have
advised that he is not the hijacker.

in view of this, I suggested that we proceed now

to develop a fraud by wire, or an ITSP case against the
principal culprits, namely | | and HURPHY, but in b6

order to do tnis I felt before we instituted prosecution — b7C

w ould definitely establish whether FLEMING

SAC allied me about this before he sent it.
I called SA at the Bureau and told him I had talked to
USA STAN PITRIN in Seattle. It appears that since this matter

was obviously a fraud, Mr. PITKIN advised if FLEMING did

I. called SA Jin Los Angeles,
told him about the contents of the teletype, asked him to get
hold of FLEMING at once, point out to FLEMING that we were

confident _this matter was a hoax and that we were contemplating
charging and. that we had identified the individual

FLEMING had interviewed, wi d, and that
we Wanted him to turn over If he
did not, then a subpoena duces tecum would be issued for

them immediately.

In my conversation with | he advised that
approval had been obtained for giving MURPHY the polygraph
test, if he would take it.

On 4/26/72 I called SA REX SHRODER at the Bureau.

I told him we had some representatives of the Secret

Se ok at the xerox copies of the bills purported to be
in possession.

I advised him that according to the Secret Service
representatives there is always a capitalized letter and a
small number on the upper left-hand corner of each bill.
The same capitalized letter with the same or a different
number appears in the lower right-hand corner of the bill.

On Bill No. 1 the number and letter in the upper left
corner, according to the Xerox, is C 4. The microfilm of
this same bill, however, shows the letter in the lower right
corner of that same bill to be H, the letter being obscured.
According to the Secret Service, both of these letters
should be the same and clearly they are not.

With Bill No. 2, according to the Xerox the letter
4n the upper left corner is E 2, whereas the microfilm
ig rather unclear but there appears to be an fF in the lower
right corner.

He advised that the Bureau of engraving has looked
at the bills and think that one of the digits in the serial
number of bill No. 1 is off.

I told him we were endeavoring to locate the third
bill and would let him know when done. In the meantime we
were trying to get a clear look at Bill No. 2.

NORJAK.

_ On 4-26-72, I called JIM ASHTON, Corporate Security,
The Boeing Company, Seattle, in order to determine the feasi-
bility of pulling the files of those employees terminated
by The Boeing Company between 1/1-4/30/70. ASHTON advised
that files of employees may or may not contain a photograph
of the employee and that the badge photographs are destroyed
upon termination. He said that he did not know exactly

what the problems be in obtaining these files but would
confer with | fara others and call me back.

ASHTON called back a short time later and advised
that the number of Boeing employees terminated bgtween
1/1-4/30~72, was 20,101. He said that it would take six
employees a bare minimum of three weeks to merely pull the
files. He said the number of individuals involved could be.
cut approximately in half by programming the computer select~
ing such individuals to select only salaried rather than hourly
employees. (However, it is noted that profile of the individual
involved indicates that he lost his job possibly between
1/70 and 7/70 and it is anticipated that the total number of
employees involved during this period of time would be closer

ASHTON said the computer, while it can be programmed
for such data as Sechal Security Account Number, Name, etc.,
can not be programmed for personal history data such as
married or single; children in family, etc.

oe, . ASHTON added that a project of this maqnitute would
involve certain budgetry conditions that would have to be

handled at a fairly high level of Boeing —

| dliea from Division 6 at 3:00 PM. be |

He referred to the N York interview with FLEMING.
He wanted to know if New York had called us. I said they
had. He said that in view of the additional facts which
PLEMING had given us,.we should conduct vigorous investigation
to try to establish the true facts in this matter. I told him
we were already checking the motels at the airport; we were
starting to locate a check on | |] we are
attempting to obtain additional phone calls to any business
phone which | jmight have.

I asked him what they had learned from the Bureau of
Engraving with regard to the authenticity of 3 $20 bills which
appear in the photographs. He said that the only thing they
could say was that the top bill, which bears the notation in
the upper left-hand corner C 4, does not appear to be absolutely
correct, in that the serial number should start with L 5 432,

rather than L5 490, or else the little number up in the corner
should have been B 4.

He said the Bureau of Engraving had no explanation

for this, although he said it was always possible they could
have made an error. ,

With regard to the other 2 bills, they have no
significant comment to make. In other words, they can
determine nothing wrong with them.

I stated to[ sat is quite important to know —_
whether these bills are genuine or not. He said it would

appear without seeing the actual bills, we were not going to
be able to establish more definite information.

| With regard to the occasion when

FLEMING said he and COOPER went to the scene together
and FLEMING said he

never had any indication of COOPER's real identity other

than D.B. COOPER. He got the impression that COOPER and

| lived somewhere close together. [___] first learned

of COOPER by contacting the Boeing Company re in-estments

and real estate and COOPER came to him wanting to know

how much he would need to invest to have a return of

$10,000 to $15,000 a year. told him it would take about
$200,000 to $250,000.

FLEMING said ha would contact his attorney and
would advise New York in the morning as to whether he would
make available the receipt, the recording and the film which
was taken at the beach.

FEHL said that when PLEMING saw COOPER he had
hair which he believed to be some kind of wig. He has
the impression, but is not sure, that he is quite baid when
he does not have a hair piece on.

FEHL said FLEMING advised Newsweek will not
publish his story and that every other editor he showed
4t to refused to have anything to do with it unless COOPER
was actually apprehended and prosecuted.

NORJAK -

RE; - SOURCE b7c

On 4/24/72 I talked to sal Jat the
Bureau. I told him that I had| lin this
matter very thoroughly. There Were a number of obvious
discrepancies.

First, | | reflected the first move
of the hijacker was made after they were aloft 10 minutes.
I told him thie was not accurate since it was made while
the plane was still on the ground.

Second flight was Northwest Flight 405, not
305, as | indicated.

Third, the passengers were a to alight
from the front steps, not as Says, the back.

Fourth, the money was taken in a sedan, not a small
bus, as says.

Pifth, the wind was a west wind blowing east, not an
east wind as says.

I told him that the photograph of the man in the
street was positively taken in Bremerton. Further, we had located
a witness who said about 4 or 5 weeks ago 3 men came into a
wig shop, got a wig, put it on a bald-headed man, took a photo-
graph, and she identifies the picture as being of that man.

Division 6, called with respect to Seattle teletype

to New York, Los Angeles and Bureau on 4/23/72. | |
aedvised that they feel_at the Bureau that the key to the

whele episode is with d_ had numerous questions
to ask about how

first got in touch _with
each other. It was explained tol] | that

had read a "D.B. COOPER ad" in the newspaper placed by

KARL FLEMING which apparently was the basis for thek contact.

| Jadvised that the Director has
said he "wants this thing solved" and further that

authority has not yet been given hy the Bureau to interview

FLEMING at New York. He said the request has "gone up"
but the decision has not been passed down to them.

Lena raised the question of why did the
hijacker,, already possessing $200,000 submit to being
photographed and recorded for a mere $45,000. He was

reninged that the whole thing appears to be a story by

| Jthen countered with how then do we
explain the pictures of the money. He then said they

had checked with the Laboratory and they report it would
be extremely difficult to "phony up" a picture such as that.

| | asked if the photos of the man in the b6
black and white knit hat and on the street are being show b7C

at Boeing since it appears from | that the

guy probably did work at S osinn Seor @ long period of time

only if the author had absolutely nothing to do with the .°--
crime itself but was merely writing about {it that there
probably would be a recommendation for no prosecution of
misprison. He indicated he had no intention of granting
immunity for someone involved in the hijacking.

Making reference to the mention of the
manuscript of the hijacker stashing a car at LaCenter
and also mentioning Woodland, Washington, he thought
these pictures should be shown in those areas to see if
we could identify the person in the pictures. I suggested
that since we already have the possibility of unlocking
this entire thing through the fact that | | b6
were having a confrontation this morning, refereed by two b7¢
Bureau Agents, that the latter might furnish the solution.
It was explained we had checked the Greyhound bus stop
at Woodland which indicated there were no tickets gold on
11/24/71 but that SP, where all such records are maintained,
has been asked to verify this.

|}said our_abovementioned teletype did b6
not state that pictures of | | were being sent to LA b7C
to determine from | [if this is in fact the -
[.___]who drove them around. |was advised that

- pictures had been sent te LA with that request.

In summation, _ Jeaid, "put heat on it
because it is hot back here."

ASAC PAUL R. BIBLER

SA| |reinterviewed the b6
girl in the wig store at Bremerton and got a further b7c

description of UNSUB's head without the wig. She said
he was shiny bald on top; rounded head; sideburns to
the bottom of the hear; thin, wispy and greying, with
original hair color in medium brown.

His hair line ended just above the top of his
ears and continued around the back of his head. On the.
back of his head in the crown area there was one long lock of
hair which hung down the back toward the neck. She said that
in the picture with the wig, the part he has hanging down
the back, is actually UNSUB's and not the wig. She said
she teased him about braiding it. She said his ears protruded
and he smelled of alcohol and smoke.

Pursuant to your instructions I called
Sal Jat the Bureau, asked him to furnish this b6
to the photo people back at the Bureau; have them make us b7¢C
some pictures without the wig based on this description
and get them to Seattle by the fastest possible means,
tomorrow if at all possible.

He said he would start on it right away.
