I told him that we had used only law enforcement personnel; that this was extremly rugged terrain and not the kind of territory you could lay off in a grid and search minutely at arm's length. He said to include in our next teletype something about the terrain.
Search
Done SAC T+ 11.30-31 4. He also said to include in our next teletype ' something about weather conditions in the drop area at the time the drop occurred.
5. He also wanted to know if we had given consideration to hiring a professional parachutist or make a simulated drop with a dummy and following it to the ground. He wondered if anything could be gained by such a maneuver
I pointed out to him that anything we did by way of simulating the conditions would be a very broad approximation since we didn't know exactly where the plane was, assuming that the hijacker did go out at 8:12 PM, when they felt the "oscillation", Since this would vary with such factors as wind direction; which side of the flyway the plane happened to be on at the time, etc. He said he understands this but he would like us to think about it.

On 11/30/71, the Bureau sont out a new artist's conception without glasses and requested we show it to witnesses. Subsequently I called in Division 6, and told him witnesses did not soc subject's eyes; they saw him only with the dark glasses. I told him with regard to witness that this witness thought the eyes were "good." This witness still maintains however, that the forchead should be slightly broader; the nose around the nostrils should be broadened and the cheeks were to flat and should be made rounder.
requested that we send him a teletype on this and also forward the artist's conception in which our witness had drawn in his suggested changes. This was done.

RE: SEARCH OF THE AIRCRAFT
On 12/2/71 SA Philadelphia Division, advised that he had reinterviewed earlier that b6 day and in addition, and SA had gone to the airport at Philadelphia and looked over the after section of a Boeing 727 with the assistance of a mechanic.
b7C
advised that he has theorized, based b6 b7C
on the information given by that the hijacker might never have jumped from the aircraft. He said the hijacker is apparently an intelligent individual and his jumping under such unfavorable conditions was extremely dangerous .
advised that in inspecting the aircraft they found that, as you look toward the rear of the plane, the b70 control handle which raises and lowers the air stairs is located on the left side of the aircraft. Right next to it, farther back, is a fairly large panel which hinges at the top with a locking latch at the bottom. The latch can be opened either from inside or outside.
164-81-572
The purpose of the section is to permit inspection of the aircraft in the tail section. He said there is a similar inspection hatch on the right side of the aircraft. However, on the right side the compartment is small and contains

If it is assumed that the liJ was a highly expert parachutist; and would thus free-fall as far as practicable to insure the best accur acy of his touchdown point, he would land slightly to the NE bf Point A due to his drifting with the wind from the point of Wgiute opening.
4. If the HJ opened his 'chute as soon as he left the airplane, he would drift along the line"A-B and would touch dom at B. All lines parallel to' A-B are Mines along which the HJ would. drift if he opened his 'chute relatively early.
5. The parallelogram indicated by C-D-F-E represents the boundaries , of the probable touchdown area adjusted for possible time errors and for the above described wind drift. It is probably the most fruitful search area.
6. The earliest the HIJ could have jumped is 0406, and this point is. represented by Point G.
7. The crew believes the pressure "bump" occurred at 0410, but in any even are certain it occurred before 0415. If the LJ, jumped at 0406 (unlikely ) he would land on or near line G-H. If he jumped at 0415 he would land on or near line Mi.

Based on the above explanation of Figure 1, and on all the assumo tions based in its preparation, the following are pertinent:
a. The most likely landing'point for the HJ is at, or slightly REA of Point A.
b. His landing point is more likely to be in area C-D-F-E than . any other.
c. It is possible his landing point could be anywhere within the ares shown (G-lI-N-M), but the probability goes down as the ends of this area are approached. 164- 81-65) b6

The above information was furnished on 12/6/71 by ASAC BIBLER to SA MANNING at which time SA MANNING advised that he is sure that the area now described has already been searched by helicopter and fixed wing aircraft and that much of it has been covered on the ground as well.
It is noted that on 12/2/71, advised that after re-examining the flight recorder, he would suggest that the search area could be extended to the north an additional three miles, and to as south as the Columbia River. That information was furnished to .SA MANNING and possibly included the area now described in the map prepared by

SA MANNING requested that to be sure that the area had been searched, that a copy of the map be forwarded to him for examination.

Boarded this Boeing 727 November 24th at Portland. It was just what I wanted. Soon as I got on I handed this stewardess a note ordering her to stick close and if mything wont wrong my briefcase would go off taking everyone with it. I had dynamite wired up in my case and I showed it to the broad to prove I was' serious. Told her to tell the pilot to notify the airport in Seattle to have money ready when we arrived. And two sets of parachutes should be thrown in for good measure. I wasn't about to take chances. This was kind of a milk-run so chances were agaist an air-marshal being on board. This would be the first major heist in the Northwest ever. That Green Baret training in Viet Nam came in handy for some thing.

Himmelsback has put in thousands of hours, more than any other law-enforce- ment official, trying to catch Cooper, and it will be his last Thanksgiving on the case. He takes mandatory retirement next September 30 after 281/2 years with, the F.B.I.
Cooper boarded a Northwest Orient. Airlines Boeing 727 jetliner in- Portland, took control of the aircraft by threatening to explode a ""bomb" in. his briefcase, forced it to land in Seattle where he got
AS
the ransom money, then parachuted into the Southwest Washington wilderness. No trace of him or the money ever was found.

"I do not have an ax to grind,"" he said of Cooper.
Himmelsbach, who, spent Thanksgiv- ing eve, 1971, listening to the radio com- munications, recalls how the pilot men- tioned during the flight from Seattle that" he thought Cooper had jumped because of a "low pressure bump.

Dear Sir,
I was reading the wednesday edition of the Portland Oregonian about the finding of the marked bills from the Cooper highljacking and noticed the sketch of the highjacker that i hadn't seen before.I recognized a great similarity between it and a man i rode on a bus with from New York City to Spokane last June the 8th.
1
As long as we were going to same state we sat together and he told me what he had been doing in New YORK. He had been living in Nassau on Long Island and doing odd work to get by on. He said he had A sister in Spokane and was going there. When we got to Chicago he bought my dinner and rode the rest of the way with A tourist who was going as far as we were.

"He didn't have a hardhat, goggles, leather gloves, jump suit or jump boots. He didn't have any of those things and he sure needed them all.
"I don't think the fall killed him," Himmelsbach theorized, "but there ... was that sudden stop. I think probably "there was good likelihood he was int jured during the fall and didn't havel any help . . . and was unable to extri -! cate himself (from wherever he fell). And probably is still there."
Agents continued digging yester- day, and Himmelsbach said he didn't know how long they would continue. .
There was no trace at the site of the legendary extortionist nor of his parachute, and Himmelsbach indi- cated he didn't expect to find such evidence there.
The ransom money was given to yCooper at Seattle - Tacoma Interna- tional Airport after he threatened to blow up the 727 trijet while on a flight from Portland. . At Sea - Tac, be al- lowed all the passengers and all but four members of the crew to leave, demanded and received the $200,000 . and four parachutes, and had the plane depart for Reno, Nev.

The skyjacker bailed out over Southwest Washington.
Sunday's find was particularly sat- isfying for Himmelsbach, who on Feb. 29 is scheduled to retire from the FBI !after a career of nearly 29 years - more than eight of which were spent trying to solve the Cooper caper. The discovery of the money was the firstd solid break in the case.
"It doesn't increase my (retirement) annuity any, but it does make me happy," Himmelsbach said.

I know too much. I am.D. B. Cooper!"
My megalomania fled the next day,
It was the letter that did it. From the opening paragraph, I was hooked.
Here's how it began:
. Thanksgiving eve, 1971. A stormy night. A Northwest Orient 727 lumbers through the dark- ness. Its speed is barely above stall-point. A stairwell slowly dis- tends from the big jet's belly.
: A man appears. He rides the swaying ladder like a tomcat on a fire 'ladder. He wears a dark suit and overcoat. Sunglasses are taped to his temples.
: Strapped to his waist is a can- bas bag stuffed with the $200,000 ransom he collected at Seattle. Over his buttocks, on the same strap, an attache case dangles. It is black and contains five sticks of phony dynamite.
The man is poised on the final step. His laughter.rises in the, wind. He spreads his arms wide and skydives toward the treetops - and the folklore of the nation.
D. D, Cooper has arrived. The world will never be the same place again.
I felt a pang of professional jeal- ousy. This guy was good with the
typewriter.

1 Passengers on Flight. 305 re- membered the man as a quiet- spoken sort wearing a dark brown suit. He took the last seat on the right-hand side of the Northwest Orient Airline's flight out of Port- land heading for Seattle.
The only thing unusual about the man was that he wore sun glasses, unusual because it was a: rainy day on November 24, 1971, a day before Thanksgiving.
The man checked aboard the Boeing 727 under the name of "Dan Cooper" in Portland, the last leg of the flight that had start- ed in Washington, D.C.
By the time the plane finally set down in Reno several hours later, the man who became known as. "D.B. Cooper" was gone, along with $200,000 in $20 bills, two para: chutes and a briefcase which Coo- per told the stewardess contained a bomb.
Somewhere in Southwest Wash- Jington, D.B. Cooper had bailed out at 10,000 feet into dark storm clouds and into history. He would remain to this day the only hi- jacker in the United States ever to escape arrest.

Hudson said the bureau is trying ito determine possible ways the money reached the beach. The Jriver recently covered the beach, he said.
Hudson also noted that the Co- lumbia River channel is dredged periodically and sand from the riv- er bottom is pumped on the shore.
"It's possible that it washed up here a period of time ago riot 9 years ago but not necessarily recently," Hudson said.
Brian Ingram Got scoop on skyjacker
Discovery of the money "prob- ably raises as many questions as it! does answers," Hudson said. "In my own mind I can rule out the possibility that (the money) was buried here."
Hudson said whether searchers might find Cooper's remains in the area is "one of the questions we hope to answer today."
The beach is about nine miles. west of Vancouver, adjacent to a dairy farm and a popular spot for steelhead fishing. Today a Clark County deputy sheriff was at the
farm gate, turning away fisher- men and the curious.
One longtime fisherman, Sidney. Tipper, 80, of Vancouver, was ad- mitted to fish. Tipper said, "I've been going up and down this river for 10 years.

Cooper jumped out through the 727's rear loading steps somewhere in South- western Washington after order -; ing the pilot to fly to Reno:
Dorwyn. Schreuder, an F.B.I. agent in charge of the beach "search. yesterday, said Cooper probably is not alive today. "If he were, I think he'd be with his mon- ey;" Schreuder said.
One earlier F.B.I. theory was that Cooper fell to his death in Lake Merwyn on the Lewis River. However, the Lewis River enters the Columbia downstream from where the money was found.
Baker said he believes rewards offered in the D.B. Cooper case have expired. "But if there was a. reward," Baker said, "I certainly would recommend that the In- grams get it." .
The discovery was the first ma- jor break for the F.B.I. in the hi- jacking. The hijacking was the first of its kind and the only one that remains to be solved.

Cooper jokes for nine years, did not conceal a certain grim satisfaction when they an- nounced the finding of the money in Seattle and Portland press confer- ences yesterday.
The fact that the money appears to have washed up on the river- bank, rather than having been pur- posely buried there, increases the chances that Cooper is dead.
"There is no way we can tell if he is dead or alive," said John Pringle, assistant agent in charge of the Seattle office. "We only know that if he is alive, he doesn't have this money."
The site of the find is about nine miles downriver from the Inter- state 5 bridge over the Columbia between Portland and Vancouver. Young Ingram made the discovery while picnicking with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Dwayne Ingram.
The elder Ingram told reporters yesterday he was preparing to build a fire when his son "ran up and said, 'Wait a minute, Daddy.' He raked a place out in the sand, and there it was."
Ingram told The Associated Press he didn't even consider spending the money, because it looked so badly deteriorated.
The decomposed money was being sent today to the FBI crime lab in Washington, D.

Speculation that Cooper could have dropped into Lake Merwin, a reservoir on the Lewis River, was re- placed this week by speculation he could have landed in the Washougal River watershed: The Lewis River enters: downstream from the search area, the Washougal. up- stream from Vancouver.
But Moore said there were no plans to search upriver "unless evidence leads us to a more specific area.'
Small pieces of currency were found yesterday, in scattered :places as they combed through sand several hundred feet downstream from Sunday's discovery site!
Other fragments showed up as agents shoveled sand through wire screens around the main site. The largest" piece discovered yesterday was about the size of a stick of chewing gum. It was several layers thick.
Moore said the new fragments may once have been part of the destroyed bundles discovered Sunday.
Although there were several rewards offered for the discovery of the money or the arrest of D.B. Cooper, fed- eral agents said it looked as if the Harold Ingram family is out of luck.

FBI Halts Search For Cooper Clues & Loot

FBI agents yesterday called off their search on a sandy beach of the Columbia River west of Van- couver for more evidence of D.B. Cooper and the $200,000 he carried when he parachuted from a skyjacked ' airliner in November 1971.
"When the agents get back here next .week, we'll discuss what direc- tion to take next," said Jack Pringle, an FBI agent in Seattle.
One partly decomposed bundle of marked $20 bills from the Cooper loot was found Sunday by a family pic- nicking beside the river nine miles below Vancouver.
It probably will be at least a week before the FBI laboratory in Washing- ton, D.C., will report on how much money was found, said Bill Williams, of the FBI office in Portland, Ore.

"We took along some wooden sleds with sandbags to approximate the weight of Cooper, the parachutes given him and the ransom money, and dropped them from the plane when the flying conditions were the same as they were at the time he bailed out," Manning recalled.
The airstair was lowered, and the sleds dropped.
"The engineer said the plane . reacted the same as it had before when the weight was released," Manning said Tuesday.
According to Manning, the FBI, and the airline were convinced then that the man calling himself D.B. Cooper bailed out of the jet in the Lewis River area, and nothing has happened to shake that belief.
Where he landed has never been determined, but Manning still thinks Take Marwin ica rond hot

FBI agents believed he left the plane, during a storm, about 20 miles northeast of where the crumbled and weathered bills were found.
It is the nation's only unsolved hijacking.
"We'll work today and tomorrow and probably knock it off and bring my troops back up here and reassess the situation," said Jack Pringle, assistant agent in charge of the Seattle office which took over the search operations.
"Some of the area is inaccessible and there's no way we can search the whole river," Pringle said.
He said geologist Leonard Palmer of Portland State University concluded that the dredging operation in 1974 did not put the money onto the beach, because the bills were found above clay deposits put on the banks by the dredge.
Brian Ingram, when scooping out a place for a campfire, found the money, tied together by rubber bands in three clumps, under a thin layer of sand.
The bills were matched to the Cooper loot by serial numbers.

that Thanks-" giving Eve. The first hijacking for money, the Cooper case became a na- tional sensation.
Baker said it was possible the FBI laboratory in Washington, D.C., could. discern fingerprints on the money.
"That would be a hell of a break," he said.
Baker said the money the Ingrams found had not been counted. At first the amount recovered was estimated at about $4,000, but "we have revised our estimate to several thousand dollars," he said.
Baker said the money was bundled into packages of several sizes at the time of the hijacking, "to make it ap- pear that it was randomly done, as if it was done in a hurry." Because of that, the actual amount could not be estimat- ed, he said.
FBI agents Tuesday were carefully combing the site of the Sunday discov- ery for further clues. The beach, open to the public, is owned by the New Columbia Gardens Co., a truck and dai- ry farm.
Cooper was seen on the plane tying a nylon cord around his waist, presum- ably to tie the money into a parachute bag.

"They took it (the money) home and were talking to some friends about it," Baker said. "The friends pointed out that it might be the money from the Cooper thing. That's when they called the FBI."
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent in charge of the case since the hijack-, ing, said it was the first solid clue to the Cooper mystery since the hijacker bailed out near La Center, Wash., into a winter storm at 8:10 p.m. that Thanks- giving Eve. The first hijacking for money, the Cooper case became a na- tional sensation.

Next morning Himmelsbach started the first of a series of flights which took him the length of the hijack route many times, between investigating other clues, all of which proved to be false.
"I was over the target area near). (Lake Merwin Sunday again," he said,
"Tuesday. "I saw they had logged a lot! of prime search area, and thought some- thing would turn up now."
But he never guessed the news that would confront him when he reported - for work Monday.
"I'll admit to a certain sense of satis- faction," Himmelsbach said Tuesday, flashing a broad smile. "The case isn't solved, but this is certainly a major milestone."
Himmelsbach will retire March 1, after 27 years with the FBI - climaxed by his work on the Cooper case, one; that will go down in FBI history.

Earlier, Ralph Himmelsbach, a Portland FBI agent who has had charge of following new leads in the Cooper case for a number of years, said he believed the money must have been deposited within a couple of years after the skyjacking.
He says discovery of the money provided a major break in the case, but puts authorities no closer to locating Cooper, whom Him- melsbach believes is dead.
Agents say the money was tied to Cooper when he bailed out of the plane, but was no longer with him when it was deposited on the beach.
If it had still been attached to his body at the bottom of the river when the channel was dredged in 1974, the body would have clogged up the dredge and have been found, agents believe.
Jack Pringle, assistant agent in charge of the Seattle FBI Office, told The Daily News this morning that small bits and pieces of $20 bills were located Wednesday when agents continued digging in sand surrounding the spot where a Vancouver family discovered money Sunday.
The Harold Dwayne Ingram family was on an outing north and vrest of Vancouver when their 8-year-old son, Brian,

The money, frayed around the edges, was identified by FBI agents who have been looking for Cooper since : he jumped from a Northwest Orient Airlines plane over Southwest Wash- ington.
The $20 was given to the boy by Mike Heywood, Hough Elementary School PTA president. Accompanying. the bill was a certificate praising the boy for his find.
Since finding the money, Brian and- his parents, H. Dwayne and Patricia, have been the subject of network televi -: sion newscasts and newspaper articles. Saturday night, the three were satirized on the "Weekend Update" segment of the weekly television show "Saturday. Night Live."

He is or was a common crook who stole someone else's. money; and if he's found alive, he should be punished fully.
"I also think it's asinine that people form D.B. Cooper clubs, hold D.B. Cooper par- ties, print D.B. Cooper T- shirts and find other ways to glorify him," Connell said.
Conrad Bankson, principal at the Mint Valley School in Longview, has similar views.
"What he did was. sensa- tional, but keep in mind that kidnapping and demanding ransom are serious crimes. If he's ever found alive, which I doubt, he should get the full penalty of the law."

John Hayes, operator of a service station in Kelso, had nothing good to say about the man sought since bailing out of a Northwest Orient Airlines et over the Lewis River areal on Nov. 24, 1971.
"D.B. Cooper broke the law, and he sure doesn't deserve sympathy. I give him credit for being smart, but I still think he's a damn crook, and I hope he's brought to justice," Hayes commented.

I give him credit i for being smart, but I still think he's a damn crook, and I hope he's brought to justice," Hayes commented.
A Castle Rock housewife, Margaret Kotera, considers Cooper a man who risked the lives of innocent persons for . personal gain.
"I don't admire him. When you take the law into your own . hands and endanger other peo- ple's lives you are no hero," she said.
Some citizens polled con- cede Cooper was a lawbreaker, but credit him with being a one-of-a-kind crook who made a lot of people, scratch their heads.
Norma 'Sewell of Kelso, a deputy clerk at the County Clerk's Office, characterized the skyjacker in that manner.
Į
"He's an out and out crook, but he carried out his crime spectacularly, and he's baffl- red some very good police minds for nearly nine years," she said.
Dick Wilson, plant manager 'at Longview Ice and Cold Storage, sees Cooper as a criminal whose crime brought , him endless publicity.
"There's no doubt he was a crook, but he sure got a lot of advertising. Not everyone has a name on T-shirts," Wilson said.

Cody had so completely blended the real and the theatrical that nobody - least of all' Bill himself - could tell where the actual ended and the dime novel be- gan.
The same thing happened during my quest for D. B. The facts that I had in my burgeoning Cooper file were not enough. I began to fantasize in the stories I wrote; but the more I fabri- cated the truer they sounded.
All I had to do was tap a type- writer key and the skyjacker would jump - any way I wanted him to. Many of the "facts" I propagated were repeated by other writers, and some- ctimes by the authorities.
Even the intellectual readers were
not immune to D. B.'s magic. Report- ing 'in a high-brow California maga- zine, I told how a lot of people up in Washington still think the hijacker was captured by the Sasquatch.
The story was illustrated with a full-page color drawing of Bigfoot, looking somewhat bereft without Fay Wray, scattering ransom money to the wind. Behind him the visage of D. B .. Cooper - a rocky outcropping formed his nose - was superimposed on the heights of Mount St.

Agent in D.B. Cooper case retires
PORTLAND - For more than eight years, Ralph Himmelsbach,j . an agent with the Federal Bureau; of Investigation, followed a nar-l ; row trail of clues and tips in his quest of a legendary hijacker called D.B. Cooper. But the first real break in the case didn't come until Himmelsbach's F.B.I. career was drawing to a close.
After 29 years with the bureau, Himmelsbach retired as of Fri- day, a few months before he reaches the mandatory-retirement age of 55.
Himmelsbach was the agent re- garded as the bureau's expert on the puzzling case that started { when the still-unknown sky pirate leaped from a Northwest Airlines 727 with 10,000 $20 bills and two parachutes on Thanksgiving Eve, , 1971.

the news which I can appreciate -- and thus, when I finally decided to communicate w/ the outside world, you appeared the natural choice.
I'd like to clear up two items concerning my little'event. First, I did it for the sheer sake of adventure, nothing more. And this adventure was both a mental & physical challange -- which leads me to my second item: how I eluded the police. While I shall not detail the incident -- at least not now -- I will say that it was a simple case of using simplicity when everyone else concentrated on complexity. If the police ever do discover how I did it, they will feel a bit foolish. And I even left a bit of a clue, which still remains in the area: I was back there this past summer.
you have a wonderful city and I have enjoyed my stay. I own a house in the city and am delighted with the many cultural opportunities here. Indeed, I hope to remain in Atlanta for at least a few more years.
Again, whether or not you believe this is "the real thing" does not concern me. I am very much aware that it is & simply wished a bit of communication with the outside world.
