skydiving experience, or military Jump
experience).

5. Obtain current photorraph, color if possible,
to display to witnesses. (Note: All NORJAK
eyevltnesses have been repeatedly contacted
and have reviewed numerous photographs. Up
to now they have been extremely cooperative,

not withstanding the many contacts they have endured both at
work and at hone. Based on the above, these witnesses will
not be contacted to view photographs unless there is no other
way to eliminate a suspect).

6. Compare suspect's fingerprints and palm prints
. with NORJAK partials on file in the Identifica-
tion Bureau.

7, Ascertain if he"is in any way familiar with
the Pacific Northwest area and in particular if
he ever flew over this arca.

8. Check current financial situation and contrast
it to his situation prior to NORJAK.

S$, Determine if he smokes cigarettes or if he
ever smoked cigarettes. (Note: Unsub smoked
Raleigh ciparettes)..

hotel near the Portland Airport just prior to
NORJAK, ,

ll. Determine if he made any trial runs prior to
NORJAK con airlines flying between Portland and

believed unsub was not well prepared For the hijacking ind
had not thorovehly thourht the hijacking out, he west pro-
bably always carries a small pocket knife with him.

The following information tends to indicate unsub

was somevhat conservative in his thinking and dress:

1. Short style hair

2. Age mid 40's

3. Dark colored suit, dark colored raincoat,
white shirt, narrow black tie.

%,. Unsub did not swear and showed a great deal
of respect for the stewardesses on the
airline because they were women. (CUnsub
engaged in a gmall argument with one of the
passenrers, as well as experiencing extrem2ly
tense and nervous situations, and through it
all he never used profane language - this
might indicate he is possibly a religious
man. Sines he did drink, and since he is
pessibly relisious, he probably is not a
Baptist or Mormon.)

The following information tends to indicate Unsub

possibily possessed athletic ability:
' 4. His physical build was desoribed as averare
to well built, even though has age was
deseribed as in his mid-40's.
. 2. Unsub exhibited some physical dexterity ucing
his hands and a small knife.

3. Unsub apparently parachuted from an aireraft
at night; something that vould require no
small desree of physical ability.

It is felt unsub possibly maintains his physical

well being through regular exercise.

The foJloving information tends to indicate the
Unsub wes a pentlem:

l. He offercd to tip the stewardesses on tho
NORJAK flight after he received his ransom
money. He did not offer them ranson money
as the tip, but used his own money.

2. During the entire hijacking he did not use
profane language.

3. Throughout the hijacking he maintained a calm
demeanor and spoke low and intelligently.

The following information tends to indicate
Unsub lived in the northwest area at some time in his lire:

lL. Unsub knew the distance from McChord to
Set-Tac and recognized Tacoma, Washington sSrom
the air.

2. Unsub was dressed in a suit and lightweight
overcoat which is commonly worn by many neo -th-
west arca residents.

3. No accent or unusual speech mannerisms wer.
detected by the Northwest Airlines stewarc :sses
who had a chance to observe him.

SPORT PARACHUTIST

The hijacker is probably not a sports parachutint
nor is he a membar of a sport parachute club. The reascns
| for this are as follows:

lL. The hijacker requested two back parachutes
and two front parachutes. He gave no specific
instructions as to the type of parachute tnat
he desired. (i.e. a sports parachutist would
probably have requested a steerable sport

hijacker doranded und received $206 9A and four pa 'a~
chutes uron lending at Sdatlla-Tacona Intern it ions
Airport. After receiving the ranson money, the hivtcker
allowed the passenrers to leave. The plane then tek
off for Reno and at &:11 p.m. a pressive oscillation
was noted by the plane's erev. That prescure 30h) Lation
was probably caused by the hijacker leaving the alroraft
Search of the alroraft at Reno revealed the hijackir

was not in the plane when it landed. Fxtensive searches
of the area into which the hijacker would have Lanc.d
failed to locate the hitacker op» any evidence of ve Luc.

It is apparent from the following excerpts, 'taken
from doce rpaintatned by pround personnel on Movember 34,
1972, thac the hijacker exited the airplane at 8:27 pom.
locel time.

When the hijacker jumped, the air stairs vere
forced closed cuusing an ineraase in air pressure sirilar
to shutting a car door with the windove up. 4s this procscure
increase occurred the co-pilot turned to look at the cabin
rate of clinh neter and in doing so his communications ear
plug was pulled from his ear.

The ce-pilot's comments at this tire were beings
recorded on a tare recorder which had previously been started
on a time stundard signal. Through careful play back and
segueneins, the time of the pressure osc} lation caused by
the air stairs closing after Unsub departed was determincd
to we 8:11 p.m. local tire.

'that while the nylon chute itweelf was in good condition, two
of the 24 nylon lines attaching same to the canvas pack had | -
been cut and removed. They advised that this type of parachute
'Was generally used by sky jwapersa inasmuch as the pilot chute

the parachute as 2 24 foot Ripstock type; DA-58-53912 as the

all riggers of parachutes are licensed and when they sign the
Adnspection card they are certifying that said parachute is packed

stated that as soon as they verified ree
the intentions of the hijacker, they immediately contacted

the company via their radio connections concerning the situation
but they did not alert the passengers nor did they press

the emergency transponder code button signaling a hijacking

fo the control towers due to the hijackers insistence of
no fumny stuff",

. They subsequently radioed the Seattle approach control
tower and requested holding instructions in order they could

remain airborne for the approximate. 14 hours which was
estimated to be required fh order that all of the items

requested by the hijacker could be obtained.

[noted that all of the demands of the hijacker 6

were forwarded to the cockpit through hostess| and

at no time did he have occasion to personally observe or have
any direct contact with hin,

Inasmuch as Seattle was the destination and actual
termination point for that flight, an announcement from the

cockpit was made to the passengers that they were burning

off excess fuel which helped put the other passengers at
ease. In addition, the hostesses were instructed not to

serve any additional drinks to any of the passengers.

was to act as intermediary between the hi jackex and the _ be

After the release of the passengers, and durin
the period of refueling, the hijacker became' considerably

annoyed at the delay in re~fueling and at the point where
96 per cent of the fuel was on board, he implied that the
procedure was being deliberately delayed. The hijacker

displayed a specific knowledge of flying and aircraft in
general and that one in particular and they were finally

able to convince him that the time being utilized was entixely
NECeSSAXY - .

ahey subsequently ynformed the hijacker that

under the operating conditions that he had stipulated,
it would be impossible for them to reach Mexico City and

he thereafter countered with the possible destination of

Phoenix. Each point that he mentioned would be considered
and rejected with the cities of Yuma, Sacramento and Keno

being mentioned and a final agreement reached whereby the plane
would fly to Reno, Nevada, as its initial destination.

Sometine before going into the landing pattern at
the Seattle ~ Tacona Airport, the hijacker reiterated his
previous instructions that' all the items he had requested,

the airpott before he would pernit 2a to land. He '
also instructed that upon landing, | |was to be

that upon landing only one unmarked automobile should approach
the aircraft and it should approach and park in such a position
that the hijacker could observe it at all times. He also
instructed that the pickup rig which delivers the exit stairway
to the forward compartment of tho aircraft be available
immediately upon Landing in order that] | could
gO out the forward door and contact the intermediary in the,

with the rear door open and the stairs extended for takeoff.

of the hostesses would be allowed to exit the aircraft Prior
to their departure.

The hijacker further indicated to|
that ag soon as this lowering of the door and stairs were
accomplished in flight, she would be permitted to go to
the pilot's compartment. During the period of furnishing
these conditions, the hijacker becanc extremely annoyed
over the tine required to refuel the plane as he had ordered.

The hijacker displayed an extensive knowledge

of the aircraft and seemed specifically well informed in
refueling procedures to the point that the crew had difficulty
in convincing him that only 96% of the required fuel was on
board at the time he was protesting the fact that refueling
had not been completed. It was also during this time (when

pockets, stating he did not want her to throw it away. She
recalled that he snoked Releigh fLiter tips. 'In commenting
concerning the hijacker's actions in general, she stated that
she recalled sone conversation to the effect that the parachutes
wera coming from Me Chord Air Force Base. The hijacker remarked -
that it was about 20 minutes from Mc Chord to the Seattle ~-
Tacoma Airport. She also recalled that while they were in
the holding pattern prior to landing, he at one time looke
ee ere end observed "iie're over Tacona now",
indicated that there had been no announcement or no
mention that'the aiycraft was over Tacoma and she accordingly
concluded that the hijacker was familiar with the area.

After refueling was completed and takeoff appoared
imminent, the crew called on the intercom and advised that
after checking with appropriate authorities, they had been
told thet the fucl Load would not permit them to fly nonstop
to Mexico City, or anywhere in Mexico, in fact. Thoy pointed
out that the range of fucl was such that they recommended
landing to refucl somewhere in the San Francisco, California
area. The hijacker countered with Phoenix, Arizona, as an
alternative landing for refueling. When the crew responded
in the negative due to the distance ® Phoenix, Arizona, he
at that tine stated the aircraft could make Yuma, Arizona,
ox Reno, Nevada, and he preferred a landing in Reno, Nevada.
The crew called back and stated they would proceed to Reno,
Nevada. ,

lstated that upon takeoff from Seattle,
the hijacker was in seat 1&-D or E (occupying both seats at
various times) and she was seated across the aisle in 18-C,

It was during this time, as she recalls it, that he was occupied
with opening one of the parachute packs (recalling the color

of .the parachute xs a bright pink-orange color) and attempting
to in sone way puck the money in a parachute container in order
that he could in some way attach it to his body along with the

' yegulay parachute straps. Her recolkiections in this regard
were vague, but she stated she clearly recalled his rerioving

secure the money in this rather than in the white bank-type
bag which he had been furnished. Her recollection was that
she did not see him tampering with the two large parachute
containers other than to cursorily inspect them when she had
brought them aboard.

p—Aatexthe pee was airborne, there was conversation
' between and the hijacker regarding her opening the

rear door and extending the stairway. She told him that she

was fearful of being sucked out of the airplane and, accordingly,
wanted to tie an cmergency safety rope around hor waist and
attach it to 2a seat in order to prevent being sucked out of

the door when she opened it. He told her at that time it

would not be necessary for her to use the emergency safety

rope inasmuch ag he would cut one of the parachute shroud

lines for her to insure her safety when she opened the door.

It was at this time that he was still working with the para~-
chute to in some way secure the money to his body. . Shortly
thereafter he asked her to demonstrate to him the proccdure

for opening the rear door. and extending the stairway. She

did this and was under the impression that he understood

how to do it. She commented that it occurred to her at this
time that this was the only function of the aircraft which she
had discussed with the hijacker during the time she had been
with him which he did not seem to be fully aware of. She stated
that as a matter of fact, he had even shown a knowledge of where
the oxygen bottles were located at an earlier tine, which
information she felt is normally known only to air crew personnel.
While she could not recall specifically, she,stated there were
peveral cther comments he nade whichiindicated to her that he
had an extensive technical knowledge of this particular type

of aircraft and perhaps aircraft and flying in general. She
also commented that he appeared to be completely familiar with
the parachutes which had been. furnished to hin.

It wag estimated by | |} that in less than

'five minutes after takeoff, the hijacker suddenly told her to

mother and father and also his sister and brothers, the relationship being more and more
close to the mother due to the frequent absences of the father from the home. He was
reared largely by his mother and due to the father being away from home so often, he
was placed with relatives and in foster hones and orphanages at various times since

the mother had an extremely difficult time supporting the four children.

to have been more or less a constant delinquent since the age of twelve. However, he

'did not become involved in any serious difficulty until he was first picked up in May
of 1949 on an auto theft charge.

On December 16, 1948 he entered the U.S. Army and was dishonorably discharged
September 27, 1949. This was the result of a conviction for motor vehicle theft in
_ €olorado for which he got into trouble in 1949. At that tine he was committed to the
| state reformatory at Buena Vista, Colorado with an indeterminate sentence, served eleven
| months and was paroled. At the time[" entered the Army he was 17 years of age and
this was the first time that he had more or less permanently separated himself from the
parental hone. For receiving the civil conviction he received an Undesirable Discharge.

portion of his life in various penal institutions. He ¢ that he has not had any
civilian work for the last ten years. He has worked at minor construction jobs and. has
worked as a saleszan at tines. Other than this, his work history can be considered ,
insignificant.
After his release from the state reformatory in Buena Vista, Colorado in 19H,
he returned to New York City and in November of 1950 was picked up on a robbery and
burglary charge, and in April of 1951 served an indeterminate sentence at Riker's Island _/

authorities and returned on kidnaping, robbery, assault and escape charges. There is
no information available as to how long he had to serve, but it is believed that he was 4
paroled by that authority as he returned home and through the kindness of a certain .
county official he was given ezployment. His mother points out that he was doing very'
well at this county job,* that he secured his own apartment, anticipated sharing it with
her and his younger sister, and at this time her son was very happy and making now
friends daily which gave hin a feeling of security and contentment. He was reaching
the point where he felt he had paid his debt to society, when elections came around
and the official who had been so solicitous of his welfare was one of the candidates
for office. Tho mother points out that the opponent made it known that her son was an
ex-convict and the pressure became too great and he left town. Information available

shows that he gravitated towards the west coast. At the tine he left he absconded from

ADMISSION PSYCHYATRIC SUMMARY

was seen for psychiatric evaluation after he gave an w>S per BOP

f 'past psychiatric history of being hospitalized on two previch?c per BOP

occasions. He indicates that he was hospitalized in 1950 for pre-sent-
encing observation for a period of 5 weeks at the Valhalla State Hospital
at Valhalla, New York. After the five weeks period of observation he was
returned to the court being found to be mentally competent and sentenced.

His second hospitalization occurred at the California 2 Facil=
ity at Vacay alifornia, under the name of with
a mumber of This Vacavilie hospitalization was not act a real
psychiatric hospitalization. He was at Vacaville originally as a new case
admitted as routine to the reception center. He waa retained there as a
worker but was on patient status, He indicates that he was sent there by
the state court but not for any overt psychiatric disomer. He states
that he was an inmate clerk during his stay at this institution ani re-
cosved no psychiatric troatment except group therapy during his incarcera-

on - Xe

In comection with his current offense he received a psychiatric pre-
sentence evaluation while 'incarcerated at Omaha, Nebraska. He was again
declared competent and responsible by the court. The request for pre-
sentence psychiatric examination was made by inmate's attornpy. The in-
mate presented no particular overt symptoms. The examination was re-
quested supposedly because of the serious nature of the offense and
accordingly an examination ordered by the court without other indications
for questioning competency or sanity.

In reviewing this man's past social adjustment we find that since
he was 12 years of ege he has been involved in numerous law violations,
As & youth he became involved in truancy amd stealing and as an adult he
was incarcerated for Robbery, Car Theft, and Bank Robbery. He is pre-
sently serving a 30 year gentence for Bank Robbery and Assault, © Per FBI

has never presented any symptoms of overt psychiatric «27° per FB

turbance In the past. He has been hospitalized on two occasions for pre-
sentencing evaluation but was found to be mentally competent. His other
hospitalization was at the California Medical Facility where he was gent
as an inmate worker but received no treatment for any overt psychiatric
disturhance other than group psychotherapy on the basis of his character
disomier. He actually has never suffered a nervous breakdam. At the
present time he denies the chronic use of alcohol or narcotics. He pre~-
sents a satisfactory interview impression. He appears to be interested
in & clerical assignment ani other than his basic charecter disomler does
not present any overt psychiatric symptoms at the present tine,

WILLOWS was 51 at the time of NORJAK, He is S'1l",
168 lbs., gray eyes, and brown hair,

In September, 1972, WILLOWS' photograph was shown

to Seattle NORJAK witnesses, They all stated WILLOWS did not
resemble UNSUB in this matter, Witness SPRECKEL stated
WILLOWS' photograph contained a general appearance of the

' hijacker and the entire lower part and hairline depicted in
WILLOWS' photograph were similar to the hijacker's; however,
SPRECKEL further advised he did not think WILLOWS is identical
with UNSUB in this matter.

In view of the above, WILLOWS is being eliminated
as a suspect in this matter and no further investigation is
being conducted concerning him,

NORJAK On U0 f

00: Seattle

On May 10, 1972, the "Seattle Flag", a liberal
newspaper in Seattle, ran an article concerning this
matter. In the article the "Flag" editor reportedly
had a conversation with an individual who claimed to
be identical with unsub in this matter. As part of the
evidence to substantiate his claim, unsub reportedly made
available xerox copies of a $20 bill which was reportedly
part of the ransom money. The serial number on this bill
was L51279635A, series 1969.

It is noted that the serial number of the $20
bill used in the Seattle "Flag" article is identical with
the $20 bill recently obtained from Secret Service, who
ain turn obtained it from a local Seattle service station.
This $20 bill was passed by a white female who apparently
did not know of the alteration that had been made to it.

The last three digits in the serial number have been changed
by cutting out three digits from a $1 bill and inserting
them into a $20 bill, using scotch tape.

This $20 bill will be retained in the 1A section
of the Seattle file 164~82. ; .

Stan Pitkin
US Attorney

Sir?
On Monday, May 1, we printed an interview from
one D.B. Cooper, who is listed, I believe, in your files
as'the only successful American Skyjacker.
On Tuesday, May 2, you apprehended two men who
were attenpting to sell, or had sold, a story to Karl
Fleming. I am quite willing to tell you that at no
time was I ever approached by either individual, nor
have I ever traveled to Bremebton or been in the Swept
Wing Inn. Nor would I ever go there.
For the sake of determing whether our interview
is bona fide, I would ask you to open your D.B. Cooper
file so that we may compare interview facts with the
information you have gathered, Similarly, it would assist
such a determination, if you could present the xeroxed |
bill for comparison. ; |

Sincerely, on

Q48 One copy of Seattle Flag newspaper, Volume 1, #5, May 10,

Result of exanination:

The twenty-dollar bill appearing on page 2. of Q48
was compared with the corresponding bill represented by K4.
In the comparison, 2 photographic overlay of the Q48 bill
showed the serial number on this bill to be out of register
with the serial number on the K4 bill.

RE: UNSUB;

Re Seattle teletype to Bureau 5/1/72; Seattle
teletype to Alexandria and WFO dated 5/2/72 and WFO teletype
dated 5/3/72 to the Bureau and Seattle.

Enelosed for the PBI Laboratory is one reel of
microfilm which was prepared in connection with the $200,000
'yansom money which eventually was paid to the hijacker in
captioned case.

The above referenced Seattle teletype to Alexandria
advised that a copy of the "SEATTLE PLAG" publication dated
5/10/72, was being sent to Alexandria and then to the Bureau via
WFO. It is noted that on Page 2 of the "SEATTLE FLAG" there
appears a reproduction of a $26 bill which allegedly bears
serial number L 51279635 A, which is a serial number of one
of the ransom bills.

REQUEST OP_RURFAU

1. Compare the $20 bi31 appearing on the microfilm
with the reproduction in the "SPATTLE FLAG" to determine whether
or not it 49 authentic and thereafter advise Seattle.

The bill itself has been located on the microfilm
and has been marked with a small plece of paper on the film
itself. The approximate location of that bill on the film
is approximately at the arrow which has been Scotch taped to
the outside af the reel.

RE: UNSUB; SEATTLE FLAG PUBLICATION, 5/10/72

On May 1, 1972, X called SA HENRY SCHULTZ at the
Bureau and told him that we had received information from
the news media wherein the Seattle Plag, an underground
newspaper in Seattle, had a headline article which would
be on the street on May 2, 1972, reportedly containing an
interview with the hijacker and displaying a copy of the

' bill, sexial number of which coincided with one of the

hijacked bills.

I told him that a very quick look at the article
showed substantial discrepancies. In addition, we were
checking the microfilm of the hijacked bills to see if

it coincided with the bill reportedly in the newspaper
and I would let him know. .

SA JOHN S. DETLOR
NORJAK

Re "Seattle Flag" 5/10/72.

. A review of the article concerning D.B. COOPER
appearing in the May 10 issue of the "Seattle Flag" reveals
the following discrepancies between the article and the
actual hijacking:

1. In the article, the interviewee states he
sat in seat 15 D, whereas the hijacker actually sat in
seat 18 E. '

2. The intervewee in the article states that he
landed over 100 miles away from Southwest Washington. This
would be in conflict with the indications of the test flight
run by Northwest Airlines.

3. The interviewee states that he knew that with
down flaps the stalling speed of the 727 was 1095 miles per
hour. This information would not appear to be known at
Northwest Airlines, as there was some question at their office
the night of the hijacking as to whether or not the plane
could fly with 15°' degree flaps.

4, In the article, the interviewee states
one of the reasons he selected a 727 was because the
lavatories in the rear were a handy place to hold a
stewardess hostage, wich turned out to be right. In another
place the interviewee states he held stewardess hostage part
of the time behind the rear galley curtain and part of the
time in the toilet, This is not true, inasmuch as the hi-
4jacker did not hold the stewardess hostage in either of these
locations.

, With the exception of CATALANO, [__] statea

none of the other individuals bear any resemblance to the

| hijacker and in his opinion are not identical with him.

believed the photograph of CATALANO bore

| a very strong resemblance to the hijacker. "He particularly

noted the hairline, stating that if the hair in the photo-

graph observed was marcelied as was the hijacker's, it

" , would be an exceptionally good likeness. He further noted
strong similarities in the high cheekbones , the long nose,

"and eyes as he remembered the hijacker.

He was unable to determine from the photograph
the complexion of CATALANO but again emphasized the hi-
jacker had a swarthy or Latin type complexion and it appeared
to him CATALANO might have such a complexion. He would

prefer to see a color photograph and additional posoens h b6
of CATALANO. Bp. SHEP pie.

In view of the above, no further investigation is

[ | be1ieved the photograph of CATALANO bore
a very strong resemblance to the hijacker. "He particularly
noted the hairline, stating that if the hair in the photo-
graph observed was marcelled as was the hijacker's, it
would be an exceptionally good likeness. He further noted
strong similarities in the high cheekbones, the long nose,
and eyes as he remembered the hijacker.

He was unable to determine from the photograph

the complexion of CATALANO but again emphasized the hi-

jacker had a swarthy or Latin type complexion and it appeared

to him CATALANO might have such a complexion. He would

RE: REMNANTS OF A PARACHUTE HARNESS FOUND IN
SKAMANIA COUNTY

The remnants of a parachute harness, located by
the Sheriff's Office in Skamania County, were inspected on
5-31-72 by BARL J. COSSEY who advised that they are remnants
of a parachute harness but positively are not part of any
of the four he packed and which were used in the hijack
situation. His elimination was based on the fact that the
straps are olive drab whereas the missing chute is sage
green in color. Purther, one of the remnants has a piece
sewn to it to extend its length, plus the fact that part
of the remnants 'found was a Capewell quick-release which
the missing chute does not have.

RE: PARACHUTE FOUND IN SKAMANIA COUNTY

Supervisor _ called from the Bureau.
He said that Asst. Director BATES and Mr. GALLAGHER
were extremely interested in our teletype about the para~
chute and wanted us to consider a further search in the
area; consider sending material to the Laboratory and also
'to show the material we found to the person we got the
chutes from.

x to1a [_d that we would certainly do whatever
is necessary to either establish or eliminate this as the
one used in the crime, as soon as possible.

I calied| _ ] He said that 41 miles east
of Woodland on the Lewis River Road and 7 miles north of the
Lewis River Ranger Station, on an unapproved highway, is an
informal camp ground used by many hikers, hunters and
fishermen and this is where the straps were found. They
were found on 5/28/72 by a camper. The two pieces in
| possession are each about 20" long, 1 3/4"
wide, greyish-green in color, made of webbing with some ;
kind of plastic material on the back. Each piece had been
burned'.on.each end. One of the pieces has the number 12345
on the back. They were found in the remains of an old fire,
partially concealed through the natural accumulation of dirt, |
'pine needles, etc. They were actually found by a woman
scrapping around in the ground trying to find a place for a
sleeping bag.

The third piece which | |does not yet
have, but which' he will get this morning, allegedly has a
name on the back =-- EISNER Company, 1/52, and number 5010857.

I requested | |to get that piece as soon
as possible; to bring them all to Seattle; take them out
and show them to COSEY, the man who owned the parachute.
He said he should be here in Seattle sometime early this

afternoon. SEARCHED. INDEXED.

STEPHENS suggested as a suspect because of

through logical investigation that STEPHENS' location on
Decenber 24, 1971 most probably was at the home of Mrs.
SAPHRONTIA JOHNSON, Big Fork, Montana. STEPHENS photo~-

advised he was not identical with the hijacker, in their

In view of the above, no further investigation

ALVIN CURTIS HARTLEY appeared at the Glenwood Springs
Resident Agency on the morning of July 11, 1873, and was
inucdiately furnbhed a 'Waiver of Rights' form which he read,
advised he understood but refused to sign.

HARTLEY again emphasized that he had nothing to do
with the hijacking of Hortheast Airlines Flight #305, again
stating thet at that time he had suffered a broken left wrist
and at this particular time was in a cast. It was pointed
to HART that investigation with | b6
Las Vegas, Hevada, reflected that he had b7C

appeare a at te dector's office on May 31, 1873 with a broken left
wrist. It was further pointed out to HARTLEY that the doctor
had indicated he had chanted the cast only on two eccasions
while HARTLEY had previously mentioned that he had changed

the cast approximately four to Five tines. HARTLEY advised

he did not care what the records at the doctor's office showed
and that he had only gone to the one dector and that he did have
at least four separate casts replaced on his broken arm. He
advised he kept the cast on through January and February of 1972.

FARILEY advised that he had pad back surgery the summer
ef 1960 by lat b6

the Southern Nevada Hospital, Las Vegas, Nevada. He stated he b7C
is currently able to do fairly strenuous exereis e but he :
personally would not feel capable of jumping from an aircraft

and would feel he would seriously damage his back.

It was pointed out to HARTLEY that the simplest procedure
for elininating hin as a suspeet in this case was for him to
furnish climination major case prints which he agreed to do.
UAKTLEY was taken to the Gknwoed Springs Police Department where

this information because he knew that HARTLEY did not stay
very long at any one address and thought the FBI might
possibly be interested in the whereabouts of HARTLEY

who was supposed to be a suspect in this case.

Ho investigation is being conducted in regard to
this matter, and it is being left to the discretion of
Seattle and Phoenix as to what action should be taken in
_pegard to those offices, if HARTLEY is actually a suspect.
