A review of BERG's military record revealed that he
is a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 6'2", 176 pounds,
and his date of birth is 7/19/34. In addition, BERG has a
scar on one half inch in length in his right temporal region,
a scar of one quarter inch in length above his right eyebrow,
and a scar of one quarter inch in the right temporal region.

All investigation to date has failed to indicate
that BERG is in any way responsible for captioned crime.

In view of the apparent hostility between the source

lot of curiousity type interest in the famous aircraft hijacking
pulled off by D. B. COOPER. His interest has been magnified from
time to time due to the newspaper publicity put out on this case.
His interest has been profounded even more inasmuch as he has
jumped into the area where D. B. COOPER allegedly jumped with the
hijack loot and the fact that the news media reports this jump
would have been very hazardous and most likely D. B. COOPER was
killed during the jump. | stated this latter statement by
the press is total hogwash. He informed that any experienced
jumper could have jumped into the area involved without suffering
any injury at all. He stated during his years of experience as a
smokejumper, he has jumped with hundreds of guys who could have
performed this. jump.

fact and the D. B. COOPER hijacking case and between them derived

that DON BRENNON COOPER could be reduced to D. B. COOPER. They
both agreed that if BRENNON was involved in such a caper, he would
be just the one to think of using this alias. He stated that
BRENNON is the daredevil type and once 'jumped out of an aircraft
with only his reserve parachute just to prove a point of his
daring to the other men.

state id not go to the FBI with this
information inasmuch as stated he had discussed this
with the FBI and had furnished all information regarding his
knowledge of DON BRENNON. lfurther related to him that
he had furnished BRENNON's name as a possible suspect in_this
hen he was interviewed by the FBI. Both he and
agreed that if there was such a thing as a statute of
limitations on the crime, and BRENNON had been involved, he would
brag publicly about it upon expiration of the statute of limita-
tions. He was just that type of individual. Further, the artist
conception of D. B. COOPER that was circulated just after the
crime was very, very similar to BRENNON's appearance.

informed that in the event BRENNON has not been
checked out by the FBI and additional information might be sought
regarding him, he would be able to furnish the names of other
individuals who were acquainted with and had knowledge of DON
BRENNON. One such individual who comes immediately to his mind

who is now employed by BLM at| |
Winthrop, Washington.

| |reiterated that his reason for not coming forth
with this information was as he had related; merely that it was
discussed openly between himself and other people, and he was told
that it had been reported to the FBI.

white female telephonically advised that she is aware of the
€rué "rus identity of D. B. COOPER. She refused to furnis
COOPER's real identity but stated he is employed with United
Airlines (UAL) at Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CHA). She recently
observed a composite photograph of D. B. COOPER in a Cleveland
newspaper, and she advised she was overwhelmed by the resemblence
of the composite to the un-named individual who works at UAL.

She advised that un-named individual is a white
male, | but that he looks to be in his mid-40's. b6é
She further stated she believed this individual to have been b7c
a paratrooper and that he might possibly be currently en-
listed in the Air National Guard at either Columbus or Mans-
field, Ohio.

Throughout the telephone call she continuously
refused to furnish the look-alike's name but advised if the
composite photograph were displayed to employees of UAL at
CHA, this man's identity is certain to be determined.

Re Seattle letter to Salt Lake City, 6/9/77.

Enclosed for Seattle are two copies of the
insert investigation conducted by SA J. JAY FERRIN
and one Utah Driver's license photograph and descrip-
tion of MICHAEL C. HURREN. v7,

Seattle note that the identity of]
must be kept confidential since he has requested thig.

vy

Numerous efforts have been made to contact
MICHAEL C. HURREN both at his residence, 35 South 3000
East, Mantua, Utah, and at the Logan, Utah, airport where
the SeaGull Sport Club is located.

On July 18, 1977, it was determined by SA GORDON S.
CARR that HURREN had moved from the Mantua, Utah, address
and was now believed living somewhere in the Logan, Utah,
area which is closer to his place of employment at the
Sky Jumpers Club at the Logan, Utah, airport.

Since the source advised | b7D

he refused to identify, and|

and D. B. COOPER are one in the same person,

this seems very unlikely since the Unsub COOPER was described
id 40s in 1971. | | would
in 1971.

No further investigation is being conducted in
this matter by the Salt Lake City Division.

Anchorage, Alaska, was interviewed and provided the
following information:

He advised he had worked on the Alaska Pipeline at
Valdez, Alaska with an individual named SCOTT, whom he recalls
him that the FBI had questioned him about D. B. COOPER.
Prelated that one evening when SCOTT had been drinking he.:
began talking about D. B. COOPER and the fact that the statute
of limitations was about to run out on the matter. At that
time, SCOTT did not discuss the matter further.

About one year ago, while| was visiting Seattle,
Washington, he saw sketches of D. B. DER on television and
thought there was some resemblance to SCOTT. He advised that
SCOTT used to boast about being a draftsman and working on the

'' design of the type of aircraft from which COOPER allegedly

parachuted.

[___| stated that SCOTT was the kind of person who
desired recognition and liked to receive attention. He stated

he had no further information regarding this matter and had
not heard SCOTT say that he was D. B. COOPER, nor had he heard
him discuss it in any greater detail than already related.

Washington advised he had been contacted by RUSSELL J. BUCHE b7C
of Vancouver, Washington and he displayed a colored photograph

he had taken at Mount St. Helens in the fall of 1976, He said he
viewed the picture and from the distorted background images it
appeared that a body kay on the ground. He said based on that

a search was made of. the area photographed by BUCHE. He said
nothing was located in the area directed to by BUCHE and that
BUCHE declared he was seeking "bigfoot" and would drive into

the mountains and pan an area with a movie camera. He said after
the movie was processed, BUCHE would look at it through a view
finder, frame by frame and when he saw something that might look
like "Bigfoot" he would photograph the frame which was enlarked
and this was the manner in which,nhe said he obtained the picture.

~
On 3/4/77 RUSSELL J. BUCHE, 415 Northeast 194th street,
VANCOUVER» Washington ws téwed and"te"sard the arés he was

photographing was located high in the St Helens range. He said
he was not able to recall any ofder at the time he made his
picture in the fall of 1976.

It is of, the opinion of the writer that the picture submitted
to the Bureau/a s well as furnished to the Skamania County S.0. is
not that of any body but an image distorted by light, and enlarge-
ment that gave the possible appearance of a body. This area is too
far for UNSUB in the NORJAK flight to have drifted from LaCenter,
Washington.

RE: .JOE DAN DUNN
Suspect #889

Re memo of SA MARTIN J. GODFREY, 3/30/77.

DUNN was suggested as a suspect by RICHARD
WILLIAMS, Sheriff, Klickitat County Sheriff's Office,
because he resembled the artist's composite of UNSUB.
According to WILLIAMS, DUNN's characteristics follow those
put out on UNSUB in this matter by the FBI. There is no
indication that DUNN is a pilot or paratrooper; however,
WILLIAMS advised there was an indication that DUNN was an
employee at the Boeing Company and is very familiar with
Boeing airplanes.

On 4/22/77, | | Boeing
Company, advised after searching her records, that those
records failed to reflect the name of JOE DAN DUNN, or
logical variations of that name, as being a former employee
of the Boeing Company.

A check with Washington State DMV revealed the
following information concerning JOE DAN DUNN:

DUNN possessed a Washington State driver's
license which expired in 1974, #DUNN-JD7100N. This license
reflected a DOB of 9/15/29:,, address 30020 - 12th Avenue,
S.W., Federal Way, Washington, hair brown, height 5'9",
weight 168 lbs., and there was a notation that the license
was cancelled out of state to Oregon on 12/18/74.

On 7/11/77, a check with the Seattle Police
Department and King County Department of Public Safety
failed to reveal: a record identifiable with DUNN. Check

age on his left hand and had very limited use of the hand

After repeated attempts to locate Mrs. HERBERT
C. (DOROTHY) DAILEY, 2 Spokane, Coulee Dam, Washington,
telephone number 633-0845, she was contacted on 1/3/78.
She advised that DARNEL L. CRAIN left the Coulee Dam area
during the first week of September, 1977, going back to
Clarkston, Washington. She advised that because CRAIN
is a member of the Moose Lodge, who regularly attends
their meetings, he could best be located through the
Moose Lodge in Clarkston, Washington.

On 1/3/78, a teletype inquiry through Department
of Motor Vehicles, Olympia, Washington, revealed that
CRAIN's drivers license, due to expire on 8/10/77, had
been revoked.

LEAD:

SEATTLE DIVISION

' At Clarkston, Washington

Will locate DARNEL L. CRAIN, possibly through
the local Moose Lodge, and thereafter interview him to
determine his whereabouts on the date of the hijacking.

Serials 7479 and 7646, along with drivers
license photo, should accompany this lead.

inquiries from HARRY D. KNIGHT and AL HOLLAND concerning
a possible reward for the return of the Norjak ransom

York Office of the FBI and the Seattle Office of the FBI. b7C
She was advised that in the future, she should provide :

information to New York, who would set out appropriate

leads or forward the information to the Seattle Office,

as this would represent a great deal of savings in money

since it is anticipated that Royal Globe will continue

to receive inquiries about reward information.

Office of the FBI and requested a status report concerning b7C
KNIGHT and HOLLAND. KNIGHT currently lives at Post Office

a group interested in locating D. B. COOPER and the ransom
money by using psychometry. Psychometry is the supposed

person connected with it through contact with the object.
KNIGHT was advised by the Seattle Office of the FBI that
most of the information concerning this matter was confidential
as the case is still pending; however, if he developed any
information of value, he was to pass it on to the Sacramento
Office of the FBI for processing.
