Re Bureau airtel to Seattle et al, dated 5/5/76. Enclosed for Minneapolis Office is one (1) copy of referenced communication.
Minneapolis is requested to immediately contact officials at Northwest Orient Airlines in effort to determine their interest in possibly providing the necessary reward money referred to in referenced communication. In contacting Northwest Orient Airlines officials concerning this reward, Minneapolis should bear in mind that the greater the reward the more public interest generated. If Northwest Orient Airlines is not interested in providing such a reward, the ?? insurance carrier that reimbursed Northwest for the $200,000 taken by Unsub in this matter should be contacted in a discreet manner and their interest in possibly providing this reward determined.
All other receiving offices should make and forward to Seattle a list of the names and places of publication of all magazines and newspapers that might possibly be interested in publishing serial number listings .

There are no newspapers, magazines, or similar publications located within the Los Angeles Division that would be in a position to make space available to publish such a volume of serial numbers as involved in captioned case.

Northwest 727 hijacker
Cooper made
a quantum leap into mists
of mythology
By John Kerans
You can't tell a book by its cover. Nor a crook.by the crime,he's com- mitted. But -. if you can't-read the book, or you can't find the crook -- then surely some speculation's per- mitted.
Take the case of D. B. Cooper, who 71/2 years ago used a bomb threat to. take command of a 727 jet, then par- achuted to freedom with $200,000 ex- torted from Northwest Airlines. No trace of Cooper was ever found.

I was thinking about it during that time, however, and it kept coming out in my mind as . a musical, a small cabaret musical. Then five years ago we performed a . rough draft of it in a workshop at (Penn State where I was teaching. [It only had five songs and only two or three of those original scenes remain (today."
Buthe has worked and reworked_ since, and-last year:"The-D.B. . Coo- per Project" Was done in-a reading during- the Cricket Theater's late night works-in-progress series. It worked well enough that the Cricket is presenting it on its main stage be- ginning Friday through May 5, under Icou Salerni's direction.
The play; like most of Orlock's to date, will be a comic drama, It won't be the big, metaphorical statement he'll be after but, as he put it, "just people in a situation, a look at what : happens when Interesting characters hre placed in a situation that wil. knock them around. I never start a play saying. 'I want to say this.' It's deadly. What really makes me cringe Is when a playwright uses the title of the play as a metaphor In the play, you know, here comes the.

I can only ask you to accept on faith that Orlock's off-beat Idea somehow works: It is grabby pre- cisely because. it does not try to grab, or pander to our dramatic ex- pectations. Wisely . keeping it small, almost the seed of an idea, . the author has created something able to grow and spread in any di- rection our own imaginations are able to follow.
Orlock took his text from a let- ter signed "D.B. Cooper", that was sent to several newspapers a month after the crime. The writer (whoever he was) denled being a professional criminal ("I never even got a parking ticket") but sald: "I am no modern day Robin Hood," and added, "Unfortunately, I do have only 14 months to live." The letter speaks of .a life that had been filled with "agony, tur- noll, hate and more hate" and ek- plains that the extorted money
"was to gain a few fast grains of peace of mind."
It is the person who would have written such a letter that fasci- nates Orlock. Happily, he was not Influenced by the sensational my- thologizing of the crime in con -.

Cooper apparently agreed to this destination
and according to the FBI, allowed the Captain to select the route of flight. However at some point in the dis- . cussion, the hijacker specifically told the Captain that he was to fly at an altitude of 10,000 feet, at a speed of 200 miles per hour with 15 degrees of flaps extended. These conditions limited the range of the aircraft and of course led everyone to believe that he had no real interest in Mexico City but planned to parachute out at some point along the way.
After takeoff, Cooper locked the three pilots and stewardess Muchlow in the cockpit and remained alone in the cabin of the aircraft. The Boeing 727 is one of the few commercial air- liners with a rear exit with retractable stairs. In the lowered position these steps are well below the plane and a parachutist would have no difficulty clearing the fuselage. The Captain was instructed to unlock the rear stairs and leave the cabin in darkness.
There are lights in the cockpit to
indicate the position of the stairs.

According to the FBI, authorities all along the route of flight were alerted that night and it wasn't until the next day that it became general knowledge that the search was being concentrated in the Lake Merwin area. And if he left the parachutes, isn't it reasonable to think that they or their remains would have been discovered by now?
Another factor that supports the theory that Cooper did not survive is the fact that none of the money has ever turned up. The numbers of the 10,000 twenty-dollar bills were circu- lated to banks in a 34 page booklet and have been widely publicized by the Portland Newspapers, the Oregon Journal and the Oregonian. They have a reward offer which still stands of $1,000 for the first twenty-dollar bill on the list to turn up.
This brings us to theory number four. Could he have bailed out some- where other than the Lake Merwin- area and not survived?
Some months ago when a weath- ered human skull was found by hiker in the Mt. Hood National Forest east of the town of Estacada, it was thought this might be the remains of Cooper. But the FBI ruled this out.

|
Still, this theory that he jumped elsewhere and did not survive is the only theory that will fit all the known facts unless one allows for a tremen- dous amount of luck on Cooper's part. No traces of him, the chutes, or the money have surfaced. They could still be there, somewhere along the path of flight 305 that night, south of the Lewis River, but north of Reno, hanging in a tree or covered by under- growth, waiting to be found by some hunter or logger.
Cooper May Have Been Reported as a Missing Person
But if this is the case, why hasn't Cooper turned up somewhere as a Missing Person? He gave the appear- ance of a very intelligent, educated man. This type of person cannot usually go missing indefinitely without being missed, and reported Missing.
Cooper was described as being be- tween forty and fifty years of age, with an olive complexion and dark black hair. He was very relaxed and courteous according to the crew. They think he was about six feet tall, with a slim build and weighing about 170 pounds.

And the new Cooper, suspect-
ed of hijacking Flight 305 on
Thanksgiving evening here last
year and parachuting into his-
tory with $200.000, doesn't look
much like good ol' D.B.
In fact, Dan Cooper fits the
role better, more rugged. dash-
ing. If he has a look -alike, it
might be a young John Payne.

The FBI, after 13 months of looking, has given up its man- hunt for the first and most fa-
mous folk hero of air piracy, D. B. Cooper.
Apparently the problem was, there isn't any D. B. Cooper. Federal agents, according to
this month's FBI Bulletin, are. now running around . after
somebody named Dan Cooper.

That bothers the FBI and so it dogged- ly continues to search for its man. It will keep after the case until , either "Cooper" or the money 'or both are found. Such determination is one fea- son the FBI is such a successful law enforcement agency. They just jeep working at their cases until they are solved.

DB Cooper-18437After the hijacker had determined the money and other items had been properly prepared, he permitted the passengers and · part of the crew to deplane.
The pilot was then instructed to taxi to the active runway and take off. They were to head east and climb to 14,000 feet. The cabin was to be depressurized and the pilot was to fly to predesignated locations. The instructions from the hijacker began to take on the appearance of flight plans and they were delivered with increasing frequency, still using · the stewardess as the messenger.
The hijacker covered the peephole from the cockpit into the cabin and then began to change clothes into a jump- suit, helmet, boots and parachute, which he did with the ease that comes with long hours of practice. Following these preparations, instructions were given that he be kept advised as to ground speed, flight speeds, wind speeds, altimeter settings and sky conditions. His last instructions were to go to Fairfield, Utah, Price and Grand Junction, after that he was not seen again. The pilot felt a slight surge of the airplane in the vicinity of the Provo, Utah, Airport, and thought the hijacker

An expert in handwriting had compared the note found on the airplane with Mc Coy's known writing samples which had been obtained from military service records. It was determined that Mc Coy had written the note. Fingerprint experts had compared latent prints with Mc Coy's fingerprints and it was determined that a print on the "Mainliner Magazine" in the seat occupied by the hijacker was made by Mc Coy.
