Sj; LEWIS WALLICK, a Test Pilot employed by The
Boeing Company, Seattle, Washington, telephone 655-4031,
furnished the following information :/

He was the Chief Test pilot on the nosing 727
project and he conducted the flight testing of this aircratt,

On séveral occasions during this testing he
intentionally lowered the rear stairs under the tail of the
aircraft while in flight; The effect of lowering these stairs
in flight was hardly noticeable on the controls and the only
positive indication he had that the stairs were lowered was
the lighting of an indicator light on the instrument panel,
The stairs were lowered at a speed of 150 knots, While the
stairs were lowered the plane remained in the same attitude,
There was no yawing or pitching, :
~ tf

PA He furnished the following opinions in connection
* with the question of whether or not a pilot would feel in his
controls a sudden loss of weight of approximately 180 pounds
from the tail of a 727, He advised that if the pilot were

3 .

flying the aircraft manually and if the air were calm, he would

feel a sudden loss of 180 pounds weight from the tail of the

aircraft; He explained that the loss of this weight would move
the center of gravity toward the front of the airplane and while
this movement would be slight, it could be felt in the wheel by

the pilot; He stated, however, that if the air were turbulent,
it is doubtful that the pilot would feel this sudden loss of
weight, He indicated also that if the plane were being flown
on auto-pilot the loss of this weight would not be felt by the
pilot, .

He advised that if the rear stairs on a 727 is
dowered in flight at an altitude of less than 10,000 feet a
change in pressurigation occurs and this could be felt by the
crew if the door leading into the cockpit is open; If the
cockpit door were closed, it is doubtful that the crew would
experience the change in' pressurization 3

| | Northwest Airlines, Inc,, 10065 Eden Prairie Road,
en rie, Minnesota, advised as follows:

Flight 305, which was hijacked on November 24, 1971,
involved a Boeing 727, a tri-jet. As you stand in front of
the rear stairs facing the pilots cockpit, there are panels
which open on the right and left sides of the aircraft.

These panels can be opened and the panel on the right side
has sufficient room for two average-sized males, The panel
on the left side has sufficient room for one average male,

However, these panels cannot be entered unless the
stairs are 100 per cent down, In his opinion these panels -
could not be entered at all while the aircraft is in flight;
even though, fhe stairs are partially decended,

Under the best conditions while the aircraft is on
the ground, it is @ difficult matter for an individual with~
out assistance to enter these panels and then re~close the
doors, In his opinion, it would be practically impossible
for the unknown subject to have entered and concealed himself
in either one ofthese compartments,

Northwest Airlines (NWA) Flight #305, departed
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), under hi-
jack 11/24/71, at 7:36 PM. At the orders 6f the hijacker,
the landing gear and flaps were down, After the_nlane was
airborne, the hijacker and Stewardess iscussed
the opening of the rear door and the lowering of the air
stairs. In less than five minutes after take-off, the °
hijacker instructed Stewardess |to go forward into
the First Class Section and close the curtain behind her
' and not to return to the rear compartment again.

At 7:42 PM, the crew advised that the stair light
was on, indicating that the hijacker was doing something with
the air stairs. The plane, at that time, was flying at
7,000 feet. -

: thé log contained an entry at 8:05 PM, indicating ~~~
; the crew had on two occasions, attempted to make contact

° with the hijacker but he did not reply. However, he then

spoke over the PA system and said "everything is okay."

4 An analysis on 11/24 and 25/71, of the flight

4 path of the aircraft, after it left Seattle, and the logs
provided by NWA, suggested that the hijacker was still in
the airplane as of 8:05 PM. At that time the plane,

; according to radar tracking by the U.S. Air Force, was

"' located at a point north of the Pidgeon Springs, Washington
area and east of Ostrander, Washington. This would have
been the northern most point when he was known to be on

the aircraft.

+ 99 F2 7

At 8:11 PM, according to a log maintained by
NWA, the crew reported that they were "getting some
oscillations in the cabin, must be doing something ,
with air stairs." An analysis as to the cause of this
4 ocscillation, also referred to as a "pressure bump"
4 or "change in the cabin pressure" pointed to the probability
that it was caused by the hijacker leaving the aircraft.

4 However, at that time it was conjectured that he might
have sat on the end of the air stairs and left the plane at

some later time, as a result of which theory, the entire

route of the aircraft was searched.

Sometime before going into the landing pattern at
the Seattle - Tacoma Airport, the hijacker reiterated his
previous instructions that all the items he had requestcd,
including the money and the parachutes, must be available at
the airport before he would permit the plane to land. He
also instructed that upon landing, | |was to be
his intermediary in not only delivering messages to the crew
but also in transferring the items that he had requested from
the ground to him in the aircrait. We specifically instructed
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 the aircraft be available
immediately upon landing in order that | could
go out the forward door and contact the intermediary in the
unmarked car to obtain the items he had requested. Additionally,
he instructed that a fuel truck be available in the area upon
landing and same fuel truck was to be manned by only one
employee. He was insistent that every condition be met and
that everything be available on the ground prior to the
landing of the aircraft.

|}recalls that the aircraft went into a
holding pattern for a period of time she estimated over one
hour and she stated she felt this was because all of the items
the hijacker had requested were not yet available on the ground.

After a period of time| lsaid the aircraft
landed and an announcement was made from the cockpit rather
than by .a hostess in the cabin, as is the normal procedure,
to the effect that some mechanical difficulty had been en-
countered and the passengers were all requested to remain in

, their seats with their seat belts fastened. | }

recalls th e hijacker went to the nearby lavatory at
his time stating he would return in a-féw minutes,at which

time the stairway to the forward door should be ready. When

he went to the lavatory, he closed the attache case and carried
it with him. He came out of the lavatory in a matter of three
or four minutes and again took the same seat he had occupied.

The hijacker further indicated to| |
that as 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 became extremely annoyed
over the time required to refuel the plane ag 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 \
wa onset concerning refueling) that he complained to

| also that he had requested the money be delivered b6
to fiim in a knapsack and instead it was delivered in a cloth b7Cc
t bank-type bag, which displeased him. It was at this time that

a one of the parachutes to rewrap the money since he had not
wo "_feeen furnished a knapsack container. | recalled

that it was at about this time she observed a small green

paper bag (contents unknown). She stated that she recalled

no other packages or luggage belonging to the hijacker except

for the attache case and this small green paper bag. She also

recalls that it was at about this time she again offered to get

him something to eat or drink, which offer he refused as he had
> several previous offers. She clearly recalled that he accepted

Pf refreshments of any kind while he was on board the aircraft. |

that he was a chain smoker. At one time she lit a cigarette
for him with the last match in the paper match folder. When

pockets, stating he did not want her to throw it away. She
recalled that he smoked Raleigh filter tips. In commenting
concerning the hijacker's actions in general, she stated that
she recalled some conversation to the effect that the parachutes
were coming from Mc Chord Air Force Base. The hijacker remarked
that it was about 20 minutes from Me Chord to the Seattle -
Tacoma Airport. She also recalled that while they were in

the holding pattern prior to landing, he at one time Looked
out the winslow and observed "We're over Tacoma now", b6
indicated that there had been no announcement or no bic

mention that the aircraft was over Tacoma and she accordingly
concluded that the hijacker was familiar with the area.

After refueling was completed and takeoff appeared
imminent, the crew called on the intercom and advised that
after checking with appropriate authorities, they had been
told that the fuel load would not permit them to fly nonstop
to Mexico City, or anywhere in Mexico, in fact. They pointed
out that the range of fuel was such that they recommended
Landing to refuel 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 to Phoenix, Arizona, he
at that time stated thé aircraft could make Yuma, Arizona,
or Reno, Nevada, and he preferred a landing in Reno, Nevada.
The crew called back and stated they would proceed to Reno,
Nevada, .

Jstated that upon takeoff from Seattle, b6
the hijacker was in'seat 18-D or E (occupying both seats at b7¢c
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 as a bright pink-orange color) and attempting
to in some way pack the money in a parachute container in order
that he could in some way attach it to his body along with the
regular parachute straps. Her recollections in this regard

were vague, but she stated she clearly recalled his removing

a small jack knife from his pocket and cutting some portion

of Githér the outside containc.: or the parachute in order to

he wouldn't rather have one of the cockpit crew get-the chutes
and hé told her that they weren't that heavy and she wouldn't
have any trouble.

When she returned to the plane with the last chute,
she saw he had one chute cut open and nylon cords out and he
was cutting them with his pocket knife, He took the nylon
cord and wrapped it around the neck of the money bag numerous
times and then he wrapped it a few times from top to bottom,
and with the same piece made a loop like a hunéle at the top.
This nylon cord was pinkish in coler. He appeared irritated
because they didn't give him a knepsack for the money which
he had initially requested, and after trying 'to put the money

pa in an unfolded parachute, he decided to leave it in the can-

vas bag.

She told him that they had crew meals and maps, and
requested permission to go get them. He said, "yes," and she
did, returning the items and taking a seat next to him.

He said, "We're going to Mexico City, gear down,
flaps down, you can trim the flaps to 15, you can stop any-
where in Hexico to refuel, but not here -in-the United States.
The aft door must be open and the stairs to be down. The

cause they had been on the pround over an hour and she related
this to the cockpit and they enswered that they had only 1500

She then told him it would be a few. minutes longer while they
filed a flight plan and he said, "Never mind, they cua do that
over the radio once we get up. Let's get the show on the road.

The cockpit called and told hér to use the esrape
Yope to secure herself when they found out that she was soing
to lower the ladder once the aircraft is airborne. She related
this to the hijacker and he said, "no," he didn't want her to
fo up Front or them to come back. She asked if the second of-
ficer could shut the front door and he said yes. She opened
the aft door and locked it open and the pilot started the en-
gines and taxied towards the runway. During the taxi, she
said, "You know we have oxygen,:arid he said, "Yes, I know where
it is,if I need ic I will get it." She asked him to cut some
nylon cord from the parachute for her to use as a safety line.
when she opened the rear ladder and the hijacker said, "Never
mind," that he would do it. She showed him where the panel was
and the controks end how to do it, and reminded him to be sure
to put the Ladder up before they land er the aircraft would be
so damaped in' "Wand ing that it could not take off again. She
returned to seat 18 C, he to 18 F, the money was in 1@ D, and
the bomb in 18 F. The plane took off and she held' her ears
because the noise was so loud from the engines. Approximately
four minutes after take off, he stood up, told her to go to
the cockpit and close the first class curtains, and for no one
to come out from behind the curtains. The lights were out in
the rear compartment and she went forward, faced the curtain,
and the Last time she saw him he had a nylon cord tied around
his waist and was standing in the isle. Before she finished
securing the curtain, she pleaded with him to take the bomb
with him and he_ said he would take it with him or disarm it -
before he leaves.

+e

After securis.¢ the curtain, she entered the cockpit
andrapproximately ten minutes after that, one of the officers re~
ceived an interphone call from the hijacker advising that he
could not get the rear stairs down. The pilot informed him

'that he would level the craft off and reduce the air speed.

She recalls that a short time after that. she observed the red
indicator Light go on the second officer's panel indiceting
that the stairs had been lowered and approximately five iainutes
after the" first call, one of the officers received anoth?r call
from the hitacker which was the last cofamunication that anyone
Gy the plane had wivh the hijacker.

Before descending at Reno, Nev., she called re-
peatedly over the intercom system to the hijacker to cooperate,
that the aircraft nist land. The last message was, "Sir, we
are going to land now, please put up the stairs. We are going
to land anyway, ,but the aircraft may be structurally damaged and

landed the aircraft and parked it awry from the terminal. She
and the pilot entered the cabin and he called to the hij: cker

a number of times to cooperate and asked for instructions. When
they received no answer, they went behind the curtain. She went
to the pally, did not see the man, and simultaneously Flipped on
all of the cabin lights and there was no one there. The captain
and her ran to the rear of the ship and they looked for the bomb.
She looked in the aft lavatory and checked the oxygen busgels,
then began crewling up the isle looking wnder seats for the
bob. While she was doing this, the first etficer was coming
down the isle from the cockpit on his knees with a flashlight
looking bhdee the seats for the bomb. After a few minutes, the
co-pilot toid her to get of f of the ship which she did. She
walked tyo blue lights down the taxiway away from the aircraft,
Yt was dark. She recalls that upon entering the aft section of
the ship. she observed the one chute that had been cut open and
another chute, One was on | Row 17, the other on Row 18, both

as it would be impossible to hold anything in his hand
when the parachute opened. Mr. COSSEY said it would'

be quite possible to parachute from a 727 jet if the jet
was below 10,000 feet and flying at a very slow rate of
speed. The person jumping from the plane would have to —
free fall to earth for several thousand feet to slow
himself down and get himself in position for the back

pack te open. Even an experienced parachutist would
experience considerable shock from the chute opening,

He said that anyone who had six or seven practice jumps
could accomplish this as the first five jumps would be
on a static line and the subsequent jumps would be. free
fall.

-

'He said that jumping at night materially increases "

the chance of injury and in this case he would consider
the parachutists chances of not being injured as "nill."
Mr. COSSEY said the back pack used by the hijacker is

or picking the spot on which to land. Also at night he
would be unable to gauge his distance to the ground which
would result in a much harder impact. It was his opinion

Mr. COSSEY said that the fact the hijacker wore
street shoes would also increase the chance that he would)~
be injured on landing as the most experienced jumpers

Mr. COSSEY expressed the opinion that the pilot
of the jet would notice some oscillation when the hijacker
departed the rear of the aircraft.

Northwest Airlines (NWA) Flight #305, departed
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), under hi-
jack 11/24/71, at 7:36 PM. At the orders 6f the hijacker,
the landing gear and flaps were down. fter the plane was
airborne, the hijacker and Stewardess | discussed.
the opening of the rear door and the lowering of the air
stairs. In less than five minutes after take-off, the
hijacker instructed Stewardess[______—i|to go forward into

the First Class Section and close the curtain behind her
and not to return to the rear compartment again.

At 7:42 PM, the crew advised that the stair light
was on, indicating that the hijacker was doing something with

the air stairs. The plane, at that time, was flying at
7,000 feet. "

ohe log contained an entry at 8:05 PM, indicating
the crew had on two occasions, attempted to make contact
with the hijacker but he did not reply. However, he then
spoke over the PA system and said "everything is okay."

An analysis on 11/24 and 25/71, of the flight
path of the aircraft, after it left Seattle, and the logs
provided by NWA, suggested that the hijacker was still in
the airplane as of 8:05 PM. At that time the plane,
according to radar tracking by the U.S. Air Force, was

° located at a point north of the Pidgeon Springs, Washington
area and east of Ostrander, Washington. This would have
been the northern most point when he was known to be on
the aircraft.

At 8:11 PM, according to a log maintained by
NWA, the crew reported that they were "getting some

ant oscillations in the cabin, must be doing something
Qe with air stairs." An analysis as to the cause of this

; ocscillation, also referred to as a "pressure bump"
or "change in the cabin pressure" pointed to the probability

|e that it was caused by the hijacker leaving the aircraft.

However, at\that time it was conjectured that he might
seat jhave sat on the end of th ai¥ stairs and left the plane at
&e 4\" some later time, batt was 1t of which theory, the entire

, route of the aircr earched.

Information was developed that a hitchhiker in
the vicinity of Castle Rock, Washington_had_been picked up—
by an individual who was identified as b6
a resident of Cowlitz County, and this individual had a bic
large number of twenty dollar bills in his possession.
Investigation by the deputies of the Cowlitz County Sheriff's
Office and SA THOMAS J. MANNING faj any twenty
dollar bills in the possession of and the

identity of the so-called hitchhiker who made the phone
call to the; Sheriff's Office was found to be false.

Information was developed at Ridgefield, Wash-

Appropriate lead was set out to the Portland Division
concerning this matter, .

Contact made with[_ | Aircraft Specialties, bé
Vancouver, Washington, reflected that the emergency equip- b7c

On December 2, 1971 ten Agents walked ina defined

circle of search as set forth by Northwest Airlines, The
terrain was found to be composed of fields which are being
farmed and a number of impenetrable thickets which have
fallen logs, hidden beaver ponds, and creeks and generally
hazardous and most difficult terrain to search on foot.
It was noted that _in getting into the thicket and under-
brush growth, it was so heavy that even if an in item was"
five yards from the observer, it could easily be missed

: The contents of the ash tray used by the subject
: and a towel removed from the rear 6f the seat he allegedly
occupied, were submitted to the FBI Laboratory on 12/7/71,
by the Las Vegas Division.

The Laboratory, by communication dated 12/13/71,
advised that no latent fingerprints had been developed as
a result of examining the contents of the ash tray.

eae , The Laboratory advised however, that the ash tray

5 @* contained eight cigarette butts, seven of which are Raleigh
in ¢ 85mm filter tipped cigarettes. The eighth cigarette butt
ar. has the same design and composition as Raleigh 85mm

ve yess filter tipped cigarette. This type of cigarette is sold

oy The FBI Laboratory by communication dated 12/9/71,
~ advised that an examination of the towel submitted by the
Las Vegas Office, disclosed a brown head hair clipping and
a brown limb hair, both of Caucasian origin. The report
continued that the head hair clipping is suitable for
Significant comparison results, but that the limb hair
possesses too few unique microscopic characteristics to

be of value for that purpose.

. The Laboratory also advised that the hairs

ieee obtained from the towel have been mounted on a glass

microscopic slide. They suggested that if microscopic
comparisons between the head hair clipping and a known
head hair sample, were desired, that the glass microscopic
slide containing the hair clipping should be resubmitted
to the Laboratory by the Las Vegas Office.

' The contents of the ash tray, the towel and the

microscopic slide were returned by the Laboratory to the

Las Vegas Office and are being held by the Las Vegas

ae Division as evidence.

4 The fingerprint lifts made during the search

' of the interior of the aircraft in the area where the
hijacker was known to have heen, such as the rear door,
the area around the door, the lavatory door, as well as
the seat area, susceptible to dusting, were submitted

od for fingerprint examination, but no fingerprints of value
4 ere found on any of the latents thus obtained.

.—s, On the possibility that subject might: have rented

an airplane and flown over the area of Southwest Washington

or might have chartered a plane for the same purpose, the ~
following investigation was conducted in the State of Washington
but failed to identify the subject:

An artist's conception and composite description of
subject was exhibited to owners and operators of each flying
school, each airfield and airport, each company renting or
chartering aircraft, and each skydiving school and club.

Similar inquiry has 'been conducted at the Portland
International Airport and at airports at Aurora and Donald,
Oregon in Marion County, Oregon, and is being conducted through-
out the remaining portion of the State of Oregon.

All skydiving clubs, parachute clubs and affiliated
orsrelated organizations have been and/or are being contacted
nationally and subject's composite description and artist's
conception is being displayed among the various memberships
in an effort to identify subject.

A list of all affiliated clubs of the U. S. Parachute
Association for the entire United States as well as an index
of the members of the affiliated clubs for the states of
California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona
have been obtained. This will insure control over this facet
of the investigation.

An international skydiving meet was held December 4,
1971 at Abbottsford, B.C., Canada.

Parachutists from the:Western United States and
Canada participated. Wide distribution of the artist's
conception and composite description of subject was made
among the participants without effecting any positive ident~
ification.

The artist's conception of subject and the following
article will be published in the January, 1972 issue of

Some of the weapons, including a shotgun, were purchased in
| Virginia.

The idea evolved that they would obtain a large sum
of money and then go to Alaska through' Canada, where they
"would start a new life." CHARLES TULLER said that BRYCE
should go into the Army and learn how to use explosives and

should go into the service and learn "hand-to-hand
combat,'' the use of weapons and "become a man." They had
discussions about how they would obtain the money and one'
of the ways discussed was to rob a bank, No specific bank
was mentioned while but
they did talk about how they would rob a bank. A Dank near
government offices or a large complex would be the target and
the telephone cables would be cut with equipment obtained from

was working. They would then enter the bank, posing as tele-

group. She says her love and faith almost took her with b6
CHARLES but her intellect and common sense prevented her b7¢c
from making the final step into a life she could not live
' or ask her son to live. She states that she agrees with
CHARLES's theory but disagrees with his tactics.

In a letter dated | | she states that
"they" will have a "revolutionary girl" whom they will call
"REBECCA EMMA MARIE TULLER." However, in a letter dated
August 19, 1972, [ _]telis CHARLES that she loves him and
that she does not want to give up her baby, inferring that
she was either about to lose it or have it aborted.

In another letter undated she says she has loved
CHARLES for four years and she knows he wants to run from her
but cannot and that they will be married by February 26, 1973,
even though she has lost his baby. She also pointed out to
CHARLES that she and he have gone their separate ways many
times before. .

In a letter dated| | bé

the boys forget their plans. She relates to CHARLES that he
has led the group and their destiny rests in his judgment.

She tells him to think of living instead of dying and that
he cannot save the world alone. She tells him that if he
carries out his plans she will no longer love him and they
will all get killed. [In another undated letter letter she
says she takes back what she said in her last letter and she
will love CHARLES even if he goes through with his plans.

Also obtained during this search was a copy of
a letter dated September 19, 1972, from the Federal
Communications Commission enclosing an authorization for
Advance Associates, Inc., to operate its mobile radio
equipment in the continental United States on''a frequency
of 151.625 (MHz). The call letters assigned were KQ 3011.
The letter notes that the FCC was unable to-.grant full
authorization as requested since it found that harmful
interference to Canadian Operations on that frequency would
result if operated within 75 miles of Vancouver, British
Columbia, Winnepeg, Manitoba, Fort William, Toronto,
Peterborough, Ontario, and the southern portion of the
Province of Quebec.

During this search there was also found a sheet
of paper upon which was handprinted "ADVANCE ASSOCIATES"
and titled "Code of Signals and General Staff." It read
in part that "The use of mobil units in all company vehicles
are to be used and respected as if it were your own personal
weapon." It said a code of signals had been devised which
would be presented to the "Commandante'" for final approval,
It was authored "Capt. Enforcer" and signed bé
A second sheet of paper with a handprinted caption of "Advance b7C
Associates ~ Code of Signals" reflects a numerical code from
number one through twenty-three with meanings opposite
designed for communication between two or more people
through the utilization of these numbers.

| and Hubbell were both associated with a Warren Smith"
who was a convicted bank robber and who has served time
for the offense.

In_view of the close association between Howard
Hubbell and| | it is not deemed advisable to
interview Hubbell as originally set out in Dallas teletype
to Seattle, dated 4/10/80, until advised to do so by office
of origin. It is believed that_if Hubbell is interviewed
at this time he would contact and thereby
alert Clair F. Young that he is alleged to be D. B. Cooper.

ao MICHAEL JAMES SCHWEIKERT, Apartment 1, 2732 Wroxton,

furnished the following information concerning himself:

He stated that last fall he was a student at the
University of Houston and remains in that status at this time.
He was questioned as to his whereabouts during the Thanksgiving
holidays, 1971, and he stated he could not precisely recall where
he was but believed that he was in this very apartment and spent
the day with his wife watching the football games on television.
He stated he was a sports fan as far as television was concerned.
He was not sure but believed he had two'or three days off from
the school for Thanksgiving last year.

He felt confident that he was in school the day
before Thanksgiving and had he been in school he would have
been in a class called "Renaissance" taught by Professor
and another class called "Industrial Psychology"

aught by Professor | (phonetic). He added that it
was very possible that he might have skipped "Industrial
Psychology" on that particular day in order to have an
early start for Thanksgiving.

He stated he never left the state of Texas during
the fall of 1971 and that the last time he flew in an airplane
was to Detroit, Michigan in August, 1971. He stated that the +:
last time he was in the Washingion state area was approximately
two years ago during the late summer when he and his wife drove
their 1966 LeMans Pontiac convertible to visit friends and
relatives in that area. He stated that he was a parachutist
with the U. S. Air Force and that following his service time
he parachuted in Canada and Washington state; however, he stated
it has been ten years since his last jump. He believed that his
last jump was during an Easter festival in Euphrata, Washington.
He stated that he has jumped approximately 150 to 180 times in
his life.

He stated that he was not employed during November,
1971.

He advised that quite often he wears a beard and
could very well have been wearing a heard during November, 1971.

He admitted that on many occasions he does wear sideburns,
with or without a beard. It was noted that he did not have

a beard nor-was he wearing sideburns at the present time.

He was questioned concerning hijackings, and he advised that
while he was in service, he and another individual who was not
a chutist had discussed such a thing wherein a parachutist
could not board an airplane and hold up-the passengers and
thereafter bail out. He stated that the thought at that time
was of the valuables on the plane and not any ransom money at
all. He stated that during discussions such as this, he knew

no one that even remotely appeared to be serious at doing such
a stunt.

SCHWEIKERT was displayed an artist's conception
photograph of D, COOPER, and after he studied the photograph,
he admitted that there were resemblances between this photograph
and himself. At this time he then displayed a pair of sunglasses
which he stated that were similar to the ones depicted in the
photograph. He stated his sunglasses were prescription and
from appearance they were black in color with the lens being
very dark, and it was noted that the left ear piece had been '
broken near the lens and had been glued together again.

area but this is on a very irregular basis and he has not
heard from CDLCER lately.

[___]statea that if other efforts of the FBI to
eliminate CELCER as a subject of this case are unsuccessful,
he will attempt to arange an interview between CELCER and
the FBI, Hiami, if and when he comes to that area.

Philadelphia requested to advise Miami promptly re
results of investigation to determine exact dates in November,
1971, when CELCER was presont in Philadelphia,

flew a small plane to Philadelphia, leaving b6
Brownsville, Tex., on 11/9/71 end arriving there on 11/10/71. bie
CELCER arrived by plane from Haiti a few days later, and they
both stayed at a motel which[______—sdiy believed was the Fairways
Motor Hotel in a suburb of Philadelphia. They were instructed
to stay away_from the trfal until they were to be called to
testify. records reflect that he and CELCER flew in
a.small plane on 11/13, 11/15, 11/18, and 11/23/71, just
"killing time." Both testified in the above titled case before
USDJ WEINER, the U. §. Attorney being JEFFREY MILLER. CELCER
finished testifying some time_around 10/28/71, and left by
plane to return to Haiti. [L __]testified and left to re-
turn to Brownsville on or about 11/30/72 or possibly a day or
so before then.

Accordingly, | | was certain that on the date of bé6é
instant skyjacking, 11 CELCER was in Philadelphia, and b7c

2
this can easily be verified through records of USDC inasmuch as
he was a Government witness and was paid witness fees for his
presence in Philadelphia from about 11/13/71 through about
11/28/71.

[___] advised that during the summer of 1972 he b6

was in Fla., and contacted CELCER who was stili flying out of b7C
Haiti. Inasmuch as CELCER was no longer in a position to

assist Since CELCER was not in the Corpus Christi or
Brownsville area, | lturned the handling of CELCER over

He continued, the guard who usually reviews the mail
no longer reads mail but noted this particular letter due to
the newspaper clipping that was enclosed. The guard then read
the letter, made copies, and sent the original on to the inmate
in a normal manner so the inmate would not be aware of its
interception.

Richard G, Kleindeinst
U. &. Attorney General

Sir:

Im taking the liberty to write you directly
about a matter that I beleive has reached significant status,
and deserves to be considered from the highest level,

I am postive I know the man who started this
rash of parachute hijacking or skyjacking D. B. Cooper,

He has become living proof that this sort of thing can be
done successfully, and with his capture I beleive the wind
would be knocked out of the parachute of many potential
Skyjackers before they got off the ground,

I have a credibility problem because, of my record
and crime. I need the ear of an intelligent person who will-
not let anything sway his judgement untill he has heard what
I have to say.

When the facts are in and the results proven [I
hope special consideration will be given to my case,
' Your' man Will not have to talk to ne@ long before
he will see that I know what - m talking about , and why I am
_posmave° of my facts,

I would say' when you find this man you will find at
least one hundred eighty thousand dollars i will tell you
how to locate him within twenty .four hours; * I've known
this man 'nearly twenty years, He has no criminal history.

Im sixty two years old and doing twenty five years
for "2113A in 1967 I have served over fourty years behind
bars Since my father was killed in 1922,

I do not want any visible credit for this.

{

Im not postive this Letter goes out unopened or I'd

'have gave more details,
I am oo LA YUE
Howard J. Hubbell .

On 7/27/72, HENRY CONRAD was interviewed at his
residence, 12051 Garden Grove Boulevard, Garden Grove,
California. CONRAD advised he recalls being with WILLARD
C. TWIGG at the Americana Apartments in Santa Monica,
California, on 11/24/71. CONRAD specifically recalled
having invited TYIGG to have Thanksgiving dinner with them
on the following day at his, | Jhome in b6
Lakewood, California. He recalled TWIGG had declined the bic
invitation stating he was flying out of town. He stated
TWIGG had stated he was flying either to Phoenix, Arizona,

CONRAD advised he quite possibly drove TYWIGG to
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), on the morning of
11/25/71; however, he does not positively recall that he had
done so. He explained that he has often driven TWIGG to
LAX on his 'business trips out of Los Angeles and he, in all
liklihood, did so on 11/25/71, but could not state this
positively. a

CONRAD continued stating he has observed the
artist's conception of the hijacker in both "Look" magazine
ané "Stag" masazine and in hie opinion the drawine definitely
does not resemble TWIGG. He added he considers himself a
very close friend of TWIGG and has never known him to ever
have parachuted or even considered parachuting at any time.
He said TWIGG'S entire disposition would make him, CONRAD, .
extremely doubtful es to whether TWIGG would be capable of
such a crime as he is a very nervous person even as a

CONRAD stated that he, as a pilot, would be the last
to condone any type of hijacking and if he had any knowledge
or suspicion that anyone, including TWIGG, was involved in
such a matter he would readily cooperate with the FBI.

CONRAD also advised that one of the two men involved
in the plastics manufacturing business in Costa Rica with
TWIGG is reportedly a former Special Agent of the FBI. He stated

Suspect DALE B. METCALF was interviewed at his law

time he advised that he resented being accused of hijacking an

He declined to furnish a photograph of himself for display to
witnesses but showed one of himself taken in October of 1971,
and at that time his hair was shoulder length.

Because of METCALF's hostile attitude, the interview
was concluded. However, from observation, it would appear that
'the is not identi¢al with COOPER. He is only 36 years old. His
hair is almost shoulder length and 'was longer in October of 1971.
His features are blunt, with a flat nose and thick lips. His
complexion is fair. It was noticed that he did not smoke during
the entire interview, and there was no evidence of smoking
materials on his desk or in his office.:

MEICALF tended to be overweight, and he always

BEVAN suggested as suspect by anonymous letter
to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The letter stated BUVAN
has recently purchased a new cadillac, License Nunber OWN 486,
a beautiful three-ycar-old home on Magnolia, and several other
purchases,

{t was determined throvgn Department of Mctor
Vehicles records that License Number OWR 486 was registered
to a 1967 Cadillac, 'owner WILLIAM BEVAN, + It was learned
that BEVAN was born December 22, 1935, is 5°11", and weighs
175 pounds. A copy of BEVAN's driver's License was obtained
from Olynpia Department of Motor Vehicles and displayed to
the three Seattle witnesses who all stated EMNYAN was not
identical with the hijacker. '

In view of the discrepancy between BEVAN'sS puysical
description and that of Unsub and because BEVAN was not
identified by Seattle witnesses, BEVAN is no longer being
considered a suspect in this matter,

was presented as DAVID BERG and his photograph was shown
several times throughout the program. The narrator mentioned
that BERG has not been heard of for approximately 2 years and
his whereabouts are unknown. She felt at the time that the
photograph displayed of BERG was very similar to the com-
posite photograph of the hijacker known as D. B. Cooper.
She certainly could not state that the two photographs were
identical but felt there were some facial similarities. She
felt that BERG is approximately 35 years of age. She has

BERG is the founder of an organization known

obtain from them all their wordly possessions. 'The members

It is noted that UNSUB in this matter requested
that the aft door must be opened and the stairs down
during take off. When it was explained to the hijacker
that the plane could not take off with the stairs down, he
reportedly said in a low voice, "Yes they can, but the
cockpit can put it down after they get airborne."

On 7/26/72, JAMES C. ASHTON, JR., Boeing Company
Executive, advised that if the hijacker was a member of or
had consulted with a member of The Boeing test team, he would
have known that the 727 could not have taken off with the
air stairs down; nor would it have been necessary, since the
air stairs can easily be lowered in flight.

On 7/31/72, ASHTON advised that all personnel
involved in the Boeing tests have been interviewed by Boeing
Security Personnel and at the time of interview, copies
of the artist's conception of UNSUB were provided to those
personnel interviewed. Mr. ASHTON specifically requested
that any further interviews with Boeing personnel be
arranged through him and that consideration be given to
prior contact with Boeing employees because of valuable work
time involved.

On 7/31/72, Mr. ASHTON made available, a copy of
the Boeing testssummary report dealing with the flight
configuration of the 727 during testing. The following
is a summary of the configuration used during the Boeing air
stairs test:

Speed - 125 knots
Flaps - 25 degrees down
Altitude - 10,000 feet

The following information was obtained from The
Boeing report:

"...the air'star was quite stable when it was
down and no airplane control problems were experienced.
No excessive cabin pressure transients were noted with the
aft entry door open and the stair extended. The environment
near the aft entry door allowed it to be safely opened and
the stair retracted at speeds up to 300 knots."

In Seattle report of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL dated
2/16/72, it is noted that UNSUB requested the following
configuration upon taking off from Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac)
International Airport:

==== Part 112 · PDF page 526 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-31413 ====
SE 164-81

Gear down
Flaps 15 degrees
Altitude - 10,000 feet

It is apparent therefore, that the configuration
requested by UNSUB is not the same as used in Boeing air
stair testing. .

ASHTON further stated that the Boeing test results
occupy many volumes and because of the many copies made and
length of time since test conducted (8 years), it is not
possible to determine the names of all persons who might
have had access to the test results.

Re Sub DONALD OTIS BERNWORTH, Sub 481.

During the March broadcast of "UNSOLVED MYSTERIES",

[ Jof Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,. |

telephonically advised several years ago, his ex-wife met
a man who he thought was identical with Unsub in this matter.
The man was an ex-airline pilot and ex-Navy pilot. | |
stated the FBI talked to this fellow but did not do anything
about it. He said he thought his name was DON BERNWORD.
advised he last seen DON BERNWORD eight or nine
years ago in Olkahoma City. He stated BERNWORD was a pilot
for NORTHWEST AIRLINES. Poy

A review of NORJAK indices indicates DONALD OTIS
BERNWORTH, Sub 481, was a former airline pilot and a major
suspect in this case at,one time. BERNWORTH has been previously-
eliminated as a suspect and in viewiof this fact, no further
investigation will be conducted concerning this particular

On 8/2/72, SA. "JACK | WILMES, Chicago, advised that. in
a series of conferences with UAL pilots, concerning hijacking
