Northwest Flight Dispatch Center, called twice on the afternoon of November 28, 1971. The first time he advised that he had checked on possible information and believed that a more accurate pin-pointing of the possible place of descent of the hijacker would be three statute miles east northeast of LaCenter, Washington, on a bearing of 080 degrees, true. He said the center of the circle would depend on the clock being a few seconds off one way or the other or the Unsub falling free before he opened the chute. However, he would estimate that a circle with a three-mile radius from the point described above should come close to the place of descent.

probably out of the Portland, Oregon area. This plane has a very large red light on the top of the tail and it was described by individuals who had seen it as "abnormally large" for a plane that size. Further, this plane was flying in the vicinity of the small air strips on the night of November 24, 1971, and never made a landing and it was dark at the time. The plane made a number of passes over various locations in that vicinity with its landing lights on as if it was looking for some- thing.
Also information was developed that a car, make and model unknown at this time with an unknown license plate was parked on a road in the vicinity of the location at which the aircraft was making the night passes on November 24, and also on November 25, 1971.

MILLER, 10604 East Marginal Way South, Trailer #41, who has no telephone of his own, but who can be reached through the trailer court telephone R02-1800, was at the Centralia Police Department, telephone 736-3374, and furnished the following information telephonically.
He is age 58, unemployed and was just "snooping around" in his car around the Tenino-Ducota area of Washington which is about 10 miles north and a little east of Centralia. At about 9:30 a.m. this date, while it was still foggy, he drove past a "snag" (meaning a tree), about 75 feet high, located fairly close to State Highway 507 which is the old Olympia-Seattle Highway in Thurston County.
He observed hanging from near the top of this snag something white which appeared to be cloth but which he could not make out distinctly from his car on the road. He was unable to estimate the size of this material because he could not see it plainly through the mist.
He thought possibly this material might be some- thing left over from the hijacker's descent by parachute from the hijacked plane a couple of days ago. He had no other knowledge of the hijacking and was unable to give a detailed description of the material he saw.

MILLER at the only bank in Tenino, located on the main thoroughfare.
Mr. MILLER was going to meet him there and show SA WICK the location of the snag.
ADDENDUM :
SA WICK advised by radio that he had gone to the scene of the sighting of the "snag" and found that it was an "illusion. "
He said the thing that caused the complainant to call in was a piece of gray bark on a tree which SA WICK personally inspected and positively identified as the thing the complainant referred to as a snag.

Edgar Hoover died is firm and visible profession- al leadership, a phrase that in terms of the FBI's needs implies not only high technical competence In law enforcement, but also an unshakable dedica- tion to the political independence of the bureau.
. Clarence M. Kelley, President Nixon's choice as new FBI director, could, fill those needs. He is trained in the law and has had extensive exper- ience in enforcing the law, including nearly 21' , years with the FBI and 12 years as police chief of Kansas City.

He has an enthusiasm for the FBI that suggests a necessary appreciation for maintaining-or more properly now, restoring -its integrity. and freedom from political misuse.
These would seem to be rather basic requisites for any FBI director, but after the inglorious and demoralizing tenure of Mr. Nixon's old friend, L. Patrick Gray III, it is necessary to make mention of them again. The plain fact is that in the last year the FBI has had its reputation sullied and its inde- pendence challenged, not because of any known corruption in its ranks, but because its

With respect to job at Boeing in Seattle, he was completely forthright and advised that he had taken one reduction in pay and when the Boeing Company tried to downgrade him a second time he resigned. He stated that he has no particular ill feeling towards Boeing or anyone else and it appeared to him that everything worked out for the better since he has been with the for three years and appears to be financially solvent.
In addition to the above, furnished a photograph of the car he rented in Honolulu, copies of which are being maintained in the San Francisco Office.
If Seattle deems it necessary for further elimina- tion purposes, San Francisco will forward photographs of as well as of the rental car to Honolulu to verify the fact that a car was rented by him on the dates indicated.

Copies of tickets sold by Northwest Orient Airlines are on file and can alch be reviewed (it is noted that if a ticket was purchased at another airlines and used on Northwest it would be returned to the other airline).
There are four major airlines flying from Portland to Seattle - Northwest, Western, United, and Air West.
General Office, Minneapolis, would be the one to contact to determine the featibility of retrieving these records.
It is recognized that this is a rather remote possibility, but in view of the fact that NORJAK is the only unsolved hijacking the following lead is being set out:
LEAD
MINNEAPOLIS At Minneapolis, Minnesota
Will contact Northwest Orient Airlines to determine the feasibility of obtaining passenger lists for all Northwest Flights from Portland to Seattle during the period 11/10/71 - 11/23/71. (What is desired is a conveniently obtainable list of those passengers actually making the above- described flights as well as flight number date, and contact phone number and address).

That is, assuming the highest probable degree of inaccuracy in aircraft position, jump time, wind vector, etc., all probable HJ landing points would lie within the area defined by this line.

At Seattle the hijacker had specified there were to be no police or fire equipment when the plane landed. He requested an unmarked car and a representative of the airline would be allowed to approach the aircraft from a ten o'clock relative position. The only other equipment to go near the aircraft was to be the air stairs and refueling equipment.

The fact that some of the ransom money Cooper got from Northwest Airlines was found Sunday on a Col- umbia River beach north and west of Vancouver has not changed his con- viction in the least.
Manning, now manager of the Longview Chamber of Commerce. had charge of the massive searches conducted in the Lewis River area after the infamous skyjacking of a Northwest . Airlines jet on Thanksgiving Eve in 1971.
Because he worked so long on a case that has never been solved, the former resident agent has taken a lot of ribbing from friends and ac- quaintances.
"Some still call me D.B. Cooper," he said with a chuckle Tuesday night.
Manning never believed the sky- jacker survived the jump with $200,000 in ransom money, and was among the first to say so.
"I said several years ago that I think he may be hung up on a snag at the bottom of Lake Merwin, and I still think so," Manning said after learning Tuesday that some of the ransom money had been found.
Manning said the fact that the money was found upstream, rather than downstream from the mouth of the Lewis River, doesn't disprove his theory.

The handful of residents who live along the beach where part of D.B. Cooper's Icot was found Sunday are kicking themselves for not building more sand castles.
They also wonder whether they should have paid more attention to the sand dredging operations along the beach.
Tina Bar is a stretch of sandy beach on the Washington side of the Columbia River northwest of Vancouver. The lonely country road that winds along the beach, Lower River Road, dead-ends about three miles from where a Vancouver family found about $3,000 beneath the sand Sunday while on a picnic. Rabbits bounce on the side of the road at night, starti- · ed by occasional passing cars.
Less than 10 houses are along the 12-mile stretch of beach road.

FBI: Cooper likely dead man
By KERRY WEBSTER STINT Staff Writer
It's more likely than ever that the legendary D. B. Cooper is just a grinning skeleton in a nylon shroud, say FBI agents raking the sand for the last of his mouldering stash.
"The discovery of the money adds credence to the theory that he probably did not survive the jump," said Bill Williams, a special agent in Portland.
On the north bank of the Colum- bia River today, more than 30 FBI agents worked behind a cordon of armed sheriff's deputies, spading over every square foot of sand along 150 feet of shoreline.
The site is where eight-year-old Brian Ingram of Vancouver, digg- ing idly in the sand with a stick on Sunday, turned up a sodden wad of $20 bills.

hell of a Brian said, "I seen that money, I break."He said. , " thought, wow."
But his parents remained calm, the son recalled. "They thought It was counterfeit."
The 'tattered and worn bills young Ingram found were the first to be recovered by law enforce- ment agencies since Nov. 24, 1971, when a passenger hijacked a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727.
The man, identified on the flight list as Dan Cooper, parachuted out of the airliner somewhere over southwestern Washington.
The serial numbers on the bills discovered by young Ingram matched those on the money given Cooper by the FBI in INTI.

The flight recorder and crew testimony indicated Cooper had jumped near the little town of Ari- el, Cowlitz County, about 30 miles north of Portland, a densely wood ;;; ed area in the foothills of.the Cas"
cade Mountains.
Despite intensive searches of the area, the only item connected with the hijacking ever found was a rear door from the 727.
Nothing ever was seen'of Coo- per or the $200,000.
The F.B.I. has said since shortly after the hijacking it believed Coo- per probably was killed when he landed.
a In 1977, just to make sure the hi-fi jacker didn't escape prosecution via the statute of limitations, he' was indicted on federal charges in absentia.
