On March 5, 1973,|

Lynnwood, Washington, telephonically advised

_ the Seattle Office she had information concerning subject
matter she did not care to discuss over the phone.

On March 19, 1973, an anonymous letter was re-
ceived at the Seattle Office enclosing a picture of a man
resembling the artist's sketch of the hijacker. The
person in the photo was identified as EVERETT? TINGLE,
Route 1, Box 129A, Granite Falls, Washington, telephnane

691- 6117.

The letter writer gave various logical reasons
for believing TINGLE was the hijacker and requested to be
contacted through the Personal Column of the Seattle Post-
Intelligencer on the 13th of the month only.

On March 22, 1973,

| [said she} ]

| she learned he was from

Kansas | In June, 1971, TINGLE was
a victim Of a large employee layoff experienced by the
Boeing Company. Although unemployed for a lengthy
period, he was at the time attempting to develop his
40 acre ranch at Granite Falls. | | said she
and TINGLE |
Because of this apparent rejection, TINGLE
started| |

She also claimed TINGLE had investments at
Lake Havesue, Arizona, Hawaii, Antelope Valley and Palm
Desert, California. She said he always carried a gun
and seemed to be well fixed financially, in that he
never used anything but a $20 bill when they went out.
She said because of this unexplained money and other
coincidences she believed TINGLE a suspect, although
he had never admitted being connected with the hijack-
ing or .making any insinuating remarks in this regard.

On April 17, 1973, it was determined that
EVERETT TINGLE, Route 1, Box 129A, Granite Falls, had

applied for a gun permit at the Snohomish County Sheriff's

Office on January 26, 1971, at which time he was finger-
printed. He gave his name As EVERETT HENRY TINGLE,
Route 1, Box 129A, Granite Falls, Washington, and a self
description of a white male American, 185 lbs, 5'11",
blue eyes and brown hair.

His only other police record was a speeding
ticket on December 23, 1971, and a gun permit renewal
on November 24, 1972.

Inquiry at the U. S. Post Office, Granite Falls

revealed that TINGLE did reside at Route 1, Box 129A,

however, had since moved. Property at his former address

was a 40 acre plot sold to him by a WALTER STEINKE.

DB COOPER-52993

==== Part 116 · PDF page 28 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-52994 ====
SE 164-81

advised May 3, 1973, he sold EVERETT TINGLE 40 acres of
his farm sometime in 1967. This property adjoined that
of Mr. STEINKE and he got to know TINGLE rather well.

STEINKE said TINGLE told him he was from Witchita,
' Kansas, and had received a large inheritance from a farm
owned by his parents. He transferred from Witchita to
Everett, Washington with the Boeing Company, and at that
time purchased the property from Mr. STEINKE.

STEINKE said TINGLE told him about investments
he allegedly had made in Lake Havesue, Arizona, Hawaii
and other places not recalled. He said he kidded TINGLE
about this because he understood it was vacant land and
it would be some time before it depreciated.

STEINKE added he cannot recall TINGLE being
away from his property during the time of.the hijacking.
He added that TINGLE was a non-smoker and critical of
those who indulged.

RON GILBERTSON, Cascade Savings and Loan, 195th
and Highway 99, advised that TINGLE had purchased a time
certicate on November 11, 1970, which is now valued at
$5,856.64.

| Shore- b6
line Savings and Loan, Everett, Washington advised that b7c
TINGLE established a passbook account with them on Janury

11, 1971, in the amount of $5,000 and on March 23, 1972,

he purchased a $2,000 time certificate.

Inquiry reveals that TINGLE currently resides
at 1422 East Union Street, Seattle, Washington, where he
has an unlisted telephone. He apparently has been re-
employed by the Boeing Company.

Summary of the above reflects that complainant
went with subject until early 1973 and had planned to marry
him. Suspect TINGLE instituted a lawsuit later dropped to
regain presents he had given the complainant during their
courtship.

He does not smoke and he is critical of those who
do.

DB COOPER-52994

==== Part 116 · PDF page 29 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-52995 ====
SE 164-81

At a considerable time before the skyjacking,
TINGLE purchased about $12,000. in property and established
two accounts over $5,000 each.

He had discussed with several people the source
of his funds and investments he had made, all of which oc-
curred before the skyjacking.

He does carry a gun but has a permit for the
weapon.

It is recommended that his name be removed as
a suspect in this matter.

2/26/73 and 3/2/73 negative,

On 3/5/73, KENNETH E. CLAYTON, JR., 6008 Nall,
Mission, Kansas, personally appeared at the FBI Office at
which time he advised that from his research and reading
the book WHAT REALLY HAPPENED by CLIFFORN IRVING, he considers

it a great possibility that CLIFFOR? IRVING is in fact the.
). B. COOPER who hijacked the aircraft from Northwest Airlines.

CLAYTON felt there was a great parallel between
IRVING and Ph. B. COOPER in facial characteristics and as
IRVING points out on page 26 of his book, he is a proponent

and strongly believes in facial disguises.

CLAYTON pointed

out the numeneu ,innuendes in the book about parachuting
ee

and in fact

in the California, West Coast area during the

two days during which the hijacking occurred. Additionally,
IRVING made a trip to Mexico with a friend as he points out
in hb book, and CLAYTON feels this possibly was a dry run
in order to similate the terrain which P. B. COOPER would

have to bail out of the aircraft.

CLAYTON is described as a white male, DPOB 4/14/44,
single, employed at Western Auto, 68rd and Nieman Road,
Shawnee, Kansas, also employed at Chapman's Bar, Lenexa,

Kansas, home telephone 631~0667.

There are four major airlines flying From Portland
to Seattle + Northwest, Western, United, and Air West.

Ve. WILLIAM Fe HUSKINS , Viee President of
Communication, General Office, Ninneapolis, would be the
one to contact to determine the feasibility of

During a recent conversation with SA RICHARD A. DYER,
Vancouver RA a discussion re captioned matter dwelt on other
hijackings where the subject made dry runs on the same aircraft
for purposes of nerfecting his vlan of hijacking.

In Line with this matter it is felt that a logical lead,
unless already explored, would be to make an attempt to secure
passenger flight manifests for a 39 day neriod vrior to the
hijack date in an attemnt to determine where subject in
NORJAK did in fact make any trial runs to perfect his plan,

It is entirely possible that through this medium information
could be developed concerning the NORJAK subject.

Re Seattle memo of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL dated

After several attempts, HARRY NAGAMATSU, 559
Northeast 95th, Seattle, Washington, telephone 522-2756,
was interviewed on April 25, 1973, and furnished essentially
the same information as stated in referenced memo. NAGAMATSU
was shown the composite of D. B. COOPER and advised that
the individual in question, MC KINNIS, did not look at all
similar to the composite, although the facial features were
alike. NAGAMATSU said that MC KINNIS had gray hair and was
balding and was much slimmer than the composite. NAGAMATSU
said -the only reason he contacted the FBI regarding MC KINNIS
was due to the fact that MC KINNIS had several $20 bills in
his possession and told him that he was D. B. COOPER. NAGAMATSU
Said that he thought it was strange that he should indicate
that he was D. B. COOPER and thought that this may be one
of the ways he was able to elude the FBI for this period of
time. NAGAMATSU could furnish no other deseription of MC
KINNIS or add anything to the information he furnished in the
referenced memorandum.

strange acting individual who often told "tall tales" and

who is frequently in trouble with law enforcement officials
for drinking in traffic violations. YOSHIDA said that MC INNIS
mentioned being arrested repeatedly by the Mercer Island
Police Department. YOSHIDA said MC INNIS was a retired
employee of the Washington Chocolate Factory and had mentioned
to her on one occasion that he was also a retired pilot for
Northwest Airlines. She added that MC INNIS was also on
welfare with the State of Washington. She could furnish no
information as to MC INNIS' present whereabouts other than

the forwarding address.

On April 26, 1973, Mercer Island Police Department
records number 73-993 indicates that ADRIAN CHARLES MC INNIS
was arrested on March 31, 1973, by the Mercer Island Police
Department for driving while intoxicated. He pled guilty
on April 5, 1973, and paid a $300 fine. Mercer Island Police
records indicated that MC INNIS is a white male, date of
birth June 20, 1915, place of birth Minneapolis, Minnesota,

5' 10", 140 pounds, gray hair, green eyes, light complexion,
medium build, Social Security Number 468-03-7028. The record
indicates that MC INNIS has a 1962 white Ford Falcon, Washington
license EAJ-431. His occupation is listed as retired, and his
address as 417 Minor Avenue North. The Mercer Island Police
Records Clerk said that they had a new address for MC INNIS

as the Woodland Motel, Room Number 12, Forks, Washington.

A copy of MC INNIS' photograph taken by the Mercer

Memorandum

TO ft, SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) pare: 4/3/73
FROM: SA CHARLES E. FARRELL Sut 639
SUBJECT: NORJAK

SUSPECT: (NFN) MC KINNIS

On 4/2/73, Mr. HARRY NAGAMATSU, Salesman, Florsheim
Shoe Company, 5th Avenue, Seattle, advised that during the
morning of 4/2/73, he was waiting on a customer who said his
name was D.B. COOPER.

NAGAMATSU explained that while he was waiting on thé
customer, who was purchasing shoes, the cost of the shoes
arose during which the customer said' that money was no problem
that he used to work for Northwest Airlines and his name was
D.B. COOPER. ,

NAGAMATSU said the customer did have quite a roll of
$20 bills and used one to buy a pair of shoes.

During a rather lengthy conversation, the man gave
his name as. MC KINNIS, residing at 412 Minor, Seattle, Washington,
which is operated by a Mrs. YOSHIDA.

NAGAMATSU said MC KINNIS, whose first name was not
given, said one of the reasons D.B. COOPER was successful was
because of his politeness during the hijacking and said a
person can do anything if he has a mind.

NAGAMATSU said it weird the fact that the man said
he was "D.B. COOPER" and in commenting about making such an open
statement, the man said people don't believe you when you tell
them you are D.B. COOPER anyway.

NAGAMATSU described the customer as follows:

Name: (NFN) MC KINNIS
Address: 412 Minor, Seattle OQ UV46 30
Race: White
Sex: Male / bs Vek 4SZAS3

He added that he merely felt that THOROLSON resembled
the composite drawing of DD. B. COOPER which he had
seen, and he had no other basis for feeling that
THOROLSON could be identical with D. B. COOPER.

On September 27, 1973, TOM HINCHCLIFFE (SUPRA)
advised that he did have a record of a ROGER LEE
THARALDSON who was committed to this institution
on January 14, 1979 as a probation violator and sub-
sequently released on parole on April 9, 1971 to Kelso,
Washinrton. He has since then returned to custody as
of September 29, 1972 as a parole violator and according
to his record he should be currently incarceratéd "at
the "'lashington State Reformatory, Monroe, Washington
under their number 220652.

HINCHCLIFFE desoribed THARALDSON as follows:

Race White
Sex ~ ale
Age 28

Place of Birth Bremerton, Washinoon

Heipht 51 gt

In view of the vast difference in physical

tation be conducted concerning THARALDSON.

One of the solutions was described by[__|

This is not plausible because the point at
which the hijacker left the aircraft was determined by
time correlation of a tape recording of the comments of
the crew during a "pressure oscillation." 'This oscilla-~
tion was later determined to he caused by outside air
pressure forcing closed the air stairs, thereby causing
an increase in air pressure inside the plane, sinilar

(1) All of the descriptions of UNSUB supplied
by crew and passengers agreed for the most part, and no
indication of UNSUB wearing a disguise (i.e., wig, makeup)
was given.

(2) All of the statements by crew and passengers
agreed for the most part as to what took place during the
hijack. A conspiracy involving seven or more persons
would probably have some discrepancies as to story content.

(3} The crew described a pressure oscillation
which occurred at 8:11 PM on November 24, 1971. The fact
that an oscillation would occur when someone parachuted
from the rear air stairs was not known until January 6,
1972 (see above).

On June 19, 1973, | Official of Northwest b6
Orient Airlines, furnished the following descriptions of / bT7C
two of the three NORJAK crew members:

Re Mobile's airtel to Seattle, dated 7/10/73.

A review of the tape recording revealed the
following discrepancies between the psSychic's statements
and the actual NORJAK facts:

1. She stated Unsub had to jump earlier than —
he wanted because of darkness which occurred
at approximately 4:00 p.m. Unsub hijacked
the Northwest Orient Airlines' plane at
approximately 3:00 p.m., on 11/24/71. He
left the plane at approximately 8:11 p.m.,
the same day.

2. She stated he was presently hanging from a
tree located near Bates and the plane was
off course. The plane was tracked by Air
Force radar during its entire flight and
never came near Bates, Oregon. The only
other Bates in the United States that is
listed in the U. 8. Postal Guide is in
Arkansas, The flight paths closest point

3. She stated she saw an orange parachute canopy.
Unsubs canopy was white.

4, Finally, she observed that the money was in
a small suitcase or attache case and, in fact,
the money was in a bag that Unsub fashioned and
tied to his waist uSing Shroud lines and a
parachute canopy.

In view of the above, no further investigation will

ene states that he is in the areca because the plane
was off course and in a different position from wnat he anti-
cipated. Ue has accotislices, onc of whom she namcd as an

and currently

part of a hunting party vwaich is atteripting to locate subject
and the money. she states that DAN CCOPpDR is not subject's
real name and, upon viewing a photograph, stated that his
eyes are closer together and his eyebrows are heavier
especially the first quarter of them from the nose. she
described him as a stiart imaginative individual who could
not coordinate his activitics and one with a dual personality
thoush not a Eiller. she describes hin further as having a
decy authoritative voice. le has a note on his body inmpli-
cating other individuals, includiny an airline official,
which he wrote before he boarded th: plane.

Vhnen asked specifically what she "sav" in the araa,
she states she remembers the color orange, which may bo a
eloth, and decy green foilate «vith tall mountain peaks vith
snow on them in the distance. she states the money is in
packets, sone of which have been loosened and are lying in
the surrounding area. Other moncy is bound in bands approxi~
nately 17" wide. There is a case like an attache case or a
esall suitcase which is broken open lying on the ground under
the body. The money in the suitcase still is all right.

She further states that she "seas" on the side of
the mountain near the deep valley a bright orange color,
maybe like a pright dye, and continues to sce the deteriorated
body in the trces entangled in lines. 'The surrounding area
is a verdant green with trees like redyoods or htcavy massive
pines. There has been no one in the arca sinec the body
arrived although her vibraticns say they are getting closer
to it. Daily they are getting closer and closer.

licbile makes no clain as to the prognostications
of this unidentified psychic. It is noted that the map of
the state o¥ Gregon shows a Eates, Oregon, near the Blue
tluntain Pass on Highway 26. The Postal Guide also indicates
that there is a Fates, Arizona.

RE: SUSPECT OWEN MURRAY REYNOLDS.

On 7/26/73, FRED W. GILLESPIE positively identified
& photograph of OWEN MURRAY REYNOLDS, California Driver's
License Number Y56661, as identical to the OWEN REYNOLDS
with whom he worked in the early 1950's and whom GILLESPIE
believed resembled the artist's conception of the unknown
subject in this matter. It wa subsequently ascertained by
the Los Angeles Division that OWEN. MURRAY REYNOLDS is currently
employed at the Balboa Market, 1510 Balboa Boulevard, Ae

Beach, California. Payroll records as made available by b6
[ | Balboa Market, revealed OWEN MURRAY BIC
eo received regular wages of $198 for the week of
1/29/71 through 11/27/71. advised REYNOLDS would
nave been off on Thanksgiving Day, 11/25/73, however, and
would have had two regular days off besides Thanksgiving
Day during that week. He stated that the day before Thanks-
giving, 11/24/73, REYNOLDS: would have been required to work

because this is one of the heaviest days of the yéar in
the meat department and REYNOLDS is employed as one of
the two meat cutters in thé store. He added that should
REYNOLDS have been absent on the day before Thanksgiving,
it would have definitely resulted in a notation to that

effect in the payroil records. ; .

In view of the above, it does not, appear REYNOLDS
warrants further consideration as a possible suspect in this
matter at this time and all offices discontinue.

one 1973 passport photograph for each of DONALD GORDON
RIGHT,

ADMINISTRATIVE:

Since the successful hijacking of Northwest Airlines
CRWA), Flight 356 on 11/24/71, WFO has been cognizant of
the details of the matter and has been aware of descriptive
data concerning Unsub. In this regard, WFO has considered
the possibility that Unsub may be an American citizen living
abroad inasmich as his absence, whether he is dead or alive,
has apparently been unnoticed, or at least not reported, by
his relatives and associates.

Accordingly, during a recent routine review of
Passport Records at the United States Department of State,
(USDS}, Washington, BD. Cc. (WoC), Et was noted that the
passport photograph of one RONALD GORDON WRIGHT, white male,
41, bears a good resemblance to the artist's conception of
Unsub.

On 2/12/68, he was issued Passport Number J231478

Re Listed his occupation as "engineer" and his permanent
address as G-2270, "orth Belaay Koad, Flint, Hichigan.
WRIGHT listed his proposed travel as "te visit Gernany and
italy" and indicated he expected to take another trip abroad
within one year. His passport application also reflected
he was never married and described him as a white mala,
born 2/12/32 at saginaw, tichigan, 6 feet, 1 inch, brown
hair, and blue eyes. His 1968 passport picture depicted
him as @ conservative dresser in that he was wearing a plain
sult, white shixt, and narrow black tie.

On 2/22/73, PRIGHT appeared at the Office of the
American Consulate, stuttgart, Germany, and executed another

COOPER advised at first that he had no idea where

he would have been on November 24, 1971, other than during

that period of time he was stationed at his present location

in San Antonio. When advised that this was the day before

Thanksgiving and not a holiday, he assumed that he would have

been at work.

COOPER advised he has had a commercial pilot's
license since 1959 and has had the complete Air Force Jump
fraining given to aircraft crew members, including para-
sailing, however,he has never actually jumped from an
aircraft. He is, therefore, not jump qualified. He advised
he is not particularly familiar with the Northeast area.

In August, 1967, he received three weeks of jump training as
described above at Fairchild Air Force Base and on two other
occasions while in transit from one military location to
another he had occasion to change planes at an airport in
the Seattle-Tacoma area.

COOPER advised that he smokes Belair cigarettes
and in the past has regularly smoked Winston and Kent.
His highest level of civilian education was a two-year
AA Degree received in 1960 fran ALLEN HANCOCK Junior College
in Santa Maria, California.

COOPER considered his financial situation to be
about average, he advised he is in generally good health.
and that he drinks slightly on social occasions. He spoke
with no noticeable accent.

the above phonetic name it was determined that the true
name of the suspect is A. A. GALLUCCI, 21411 120th Ave.,

proximately six months before Thanksgiving of 1971 he
had | They were having trouble with

the stop and go at 120th Street East and 214th Avenue
East,iand in connection with this he asked GALLUCCI who
resided at that corner if he could park his car in this

to observe the activity at this stop and go. Because he
did this frequently at night, he struck up several con-
versations with GALLUCCI and ascertained over a period

of time that GALLUCCI was previously a supervisor in design
at Boeing Aircraft. Further, he is an officer in the

Civil Air Patrol, Enumclaw Wing. In his yard at the back
was a mach-up of what appeared to be the tail end of an
aircraft, not to full scale but very large and on a platform.
He thought it was the tail end becayse it had no large
wings, only small wings protruding as a tail of an aircraft.
He did not recall that it had a tail similar to a 727.
GALLUCCI lived in a mobil home and he had occasion to go
into the home where GALLUCCI housed his wife and several
children. They had a modest home and GALLUCCI explained
that he desired to get money to build a home on the prop-
erty but it probably would be a long wait. He had con-
tact with GALLUCCI up to about the time of the hijack and
then there was a period he did not see him. Sometime

about the time of the hijakk he had his automobile burglarized
according to his report, during which his wallet and ID

was taken. »

time of the burglary, [____] recalled mentioning to him on b6
some occasion that his dogs must have fussed greatly if b7c

somebody had come into his yard and burglarized his car.
GALLUCCI at that point gave him no answer and looked at
him with a severe look as he had apparently "hit a raw
nerve." Then shortly after the hijack, some of the
articles of his wallet were turned into [Jas they had
been found in the brush next to his trailer; and in re- |
turning them, GALLUCCI had given him the same look as he
had given him above.

After that it was quite some time before he saw
him again and then seeing the circular with the artist's
conception of D. B. COOPER, he was struck with the fact
that he had seen that person somewhere before, In reflecting
back, he believes now that the drawing looks similar to
GALLUCCIL. He explained that GALLUCII is probably 40 years
of age, is about 5'9 1/2", has gained 15 to 20 pounds since
the hijacking, and probably weighs 180 pounds. He wears
dark glasses; however, has never seen him smoke b6
nor does he recall him dresSing up in a suit. In reflecting b7C
back, he believes that in the latter part of 1972 GALLUCCI
had a job teaching in the Enumclaw school system and in
early 1973 he started building a new home. saw him
in the restaurant at Bonny lake and he then indicated that
he had built his new house.

[| statedthat he feels that GALLUCCI may be
D. B. COOPER in view of the similarity with the drawing,
in view of the fact that he has come into some money, and
further because of the mach-up plane that is in his back
yard and his having been a Boeing engine' r. Never at any
time was there any conversation with GALLUCCI that would
lead[___] to believe that he might have any knowledge of
the hijacking.

WILLIAM HOCKBRUN, Vice President in Charge of Operations,
Northwest Orient Airlines (NWAL), was contacted on 12/17/73.
HOCKBRUN advised that it would be virtually impossible for unknown
subject to remove panels from the airplane, either in the floor or
rest room area, in order to secrete himself under the floor of the
airplane, He advised that in order to remove the panels rivets
must be removed. He advised that the floor panels are small and
it would require the removal of several of the panels in order for
aman to secrete himself under the floor. HOCKBRUN advised that
an individual very familiar with the aircraft could get from the
cabin area to the cargo area using internal passages. He advised
that if the individual accomplished this feat he would experience
extreme cold. He advised that the air pressure in the cargo area
is adjusted and could be tolerated by an individual.

$200,000 in extortion money was never recovered. Source
indicated that this individual is a demolitons expert. Source

that summer, MARGARET HARBESON advised that a one of
the visits ROBERT HARBESON was trying to impress
and told a story about how he was D. B. COOPER and how he hijacked
the Northwest Airlines plane. Mrs. HARBESOW advised that
ROBERT HARBESON was always telling tall stories and after the
D. B. COOPER hijacking, used to sit around the coffee shops in
the Burlington area and talk with other "bums" about the D. B.
COOPER hijacking. Mrs. HARBESON advised that ROBERT HARBESON
always considered D. B. COOPER to be a hero and liked to think
of himself as being that type of person. Mrs. HARBESON advised
that as far as she is concerned, ROBERT HARBESON is completely
incapable of such an act and she is very certain the story he
told her and| |was simply a story. Mrs. HARBESON
advised that even at the time he told the story he told it in
a context of simply being a story and she did not think he
even meant for anyone to believe it.

MARGARET HARBESON advised that sometime after ROBERT

HARBESON told her and| | this story, she went to a b6é
family reunion in Raymond, Washington, and during family conversatib7c
she repeated this story told to her and] | by ROBERT

HARBESON. She told it simply as a story and did_not expect

anyone to take her seriously. She advised that
evidently took her seriously as she is aware that

| reported this to the police_in Pacific County, Washington.
MARGARET HARBESON advised that | | later told her that
he told the police about her story and that he was sending the
FBI to talk to her about it. _MARGARET HARBESON advised that
she was very disappointed in| Jas she felt he just
wanted to try to be a "big shot" with the police in his area.

MARGARET HARBESON advised that the story ROBERT HARBESON
told her and did portray himself using a camper :
and a motorcycle. She advised he did have a camper and a motor-
cycle; however, she is certain he did not use it to commit this
crime. She advised that he told them how he drove his camper and
motorcycle to the Spirit Lake area and left the camper and rode
his motorcycle to Portland where he boarded the airplane to
hijack it. He then told them he jumped from the plane with the
money and landed right next to his camper, entered the camper
ana drove to Portland, recovered the motorcycle and proceeded
on to California where he deposited the money in numerous banks.

and gave the impression that it was simply a story.

in any mental or physical condition to perpetuate such a crime.

until early 1971, when his physical condition got so poor that

identified this individual as JOHN DeLOZIER,
13 West 14th Street, Ocean City, New Jersey, telephone 679-399+496
He advised he has known DeLOZIER since 1970 but only casually.
He did not see DeLOZIER in 1971 and only once in 1972. However,
he worked with DeLOZIER from | | at Ocean City,
New Jersey, and |

He advised that DeLOZIER is an electrical engineer who
was in the U. S. Marine Corps and served in Korea. In 1970,
DeLOZIER was employed as a pilot with Armstrong Banner Service
and he believes DeLOZIER owned a small airplane at that time.
He estimated DeLOZIER's income at the time at approximately
$10,000 a year.

During 1971-1972, DeLOZIER bought the Armstrong Banner
Service and continues to own and operate that company under the
name of the Armstrong Flying Service, Ocean City, New Jersey.
During this same period, he bought two used airplanes. In 1972
he also bought his house in Ocean City, New Jersey, and a house
in Williamstown, New Jersey. In the spring of 1972, he bought a
large boat_in Florida and sailed the boat from Florida to New
Jersey. stated that he does not know where this boat is
presently docked although DeLOZIER still owns the boat. At the
present time, DeLOZIER owns four automobiles and five airplanes,
none of which are new. Two of these planes are maintained at
Williamstown and one is maintained at Woodbine, New Jersey.
DeLOZIER plans to buy an airport, place not known.

advised that during the summer of 1973, when
he worked with DeLOZIER in Ocean City, DeLOZIER mentioned that
several years ago he was completely broke and owed banks
$250,000 but that this debt had been paid off. He indicated that
he had bought land and had paid off the debt when he sold the land

estimated DeLOZIER's present net worth as in excess of
$100,000.

He stated that DeLOZIER is the kind of person who
always has a reply when asked questions and usually gives

evasive answers He stated that when he |
DeLOZLER | he mentioned to DeLOZLER that he Looked

exactly like COOPER, the man who hijacked the airplane on the
west coast, but that DeLOZLER did not answer him at all which was
very unusual. On two other occasions during the summer of 1973,

he mentioned to DeLOZIER that he looked like COOPER and both times

DeLOZIER gave him no reply.

He advised that DeLOZIER grew a mustache at about the

time of the hijacking. On one occasion during the summer of 1975,

DeLOZIER's wife GLENDA mentioned his having grown a mustache and
he became upset with his wife over this comment.

[advised that DeLOZTER told him that

m_ collecti eLOZIER also has

DeLOZIER was born and reared in Camden,

New Jersey. On several occasions during the summer of 1973,
when they were very busy, DeLOZIER would make trips to Camden in
a very secretive manner but never mentioned the purpose of these
trips.

advised that when he first saw the artist's
drawing of COOPER in the Wilmington, Delaware, paper several days
after the hijacking he immediately associated the drawing with
DeLOZIER. He stated he did not contact the FBI at that time
because he did not know anything about DeLOZIER and thought the

similarity and appearance coincidental, He advised, however, that

after working with DeLOZIER during the summer of 1973 he feels
stronely that NeTOZTER may be identical with the unlmown subject
known as DAN COOPER. 3

He advised that he arrived et this conclusion due to
the fact that DeLOZIER looks like the first artist's conception
he saw of COOPER, the fact that DeLOZIER about the same time of
the hijacking grew a mustache and became affluent, due to the
fact that DeLOZIER is a pilot and he believes that the unknown
subject, known as DAN COOPER, was a pilot or had considerable
knowledge of airplanes, but most of all he became suspicious of
DeLOZIER due to the fact that DeLOZIER did not reply to him when
_ he mentioned that DeLOZIER looked like COOPER which was completely
out of character and most unusual for DeLOZIER.
