was very cooperative and apologized several times because some of the fifteen-minute quadrangle maps were dirty and soiled around the borders. This condition exists she stated because her office basically handles only the maps for the Eastern States (east of the Mississippi) and thus the few WestemState maps on her shelves linger on the shelf and become.dirty. She stated copies of the maps of the Western States are basically furnished by the Distribution Section, U. S. Geological Survey, Federal Center, Denver, Colorado.

Re Seattle letter 12/13/71 transmitting copy of a letter received by the managing editor of the SEATTLE TIMES on 12/13/71, signed "D. B. COOPER. "
On 12/14/71 SA called from the Bureau. He advised that the UPI carried an article today concerning a letter received by the LOS ANGELES TIMES; and wanted to know where the original of this letter could be located since Los Angeles advised they had a copy.
I told him that the SEATTLE TIMES likewise re- ceived a copy, as did the WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK TIMES, and that we had sent a wire to Los Angeles, New York and WFO to get the copy received by them.
While talking to SA I called
at the SEATTLE TIMES, who had furnished the letter originally and he said he had given us everything they received.
I advised that I suspected that very b6 b7C

In the presence of the reporting Agent, these men examined said parachute, and announced that prior to its having been released from its container by someone pulling the rip cord, it was in operational condition and could have been utilized for a parachute jump. They advised that someone had cut the lines attaching the chute itself to the canvas pack it was originally packed in. They also noted that while the nylon chute itself was in good condition, two of the 24 nylon lines attaching same to the canvas pack had
been cut and removed. They advised that this type of parachute was generally used by sky jumpers inasmuch as the pilot chute had been removed and removal was noted on the inspection card contained in a pocket of the canvas pack. This card identified the parachute as a 24 foot Ripstock type; DA-58-53912 as the serial number; manufactured in October 1959; owned by the Issaquah, Washington.

ANON: Everyone assumed you asked for two parachutes so they wouldn't give you one with a note that said crime doesn't pay in it, not knowing whether you were going to force somebody, like the stewardess maybe, to bail out with you. What did you do with the extra parachute?
COOPER: I made a special point of hot leaving it behind in the cabin. I cut it up into strips and used the strips to tie the money bag to my waist, very securely. Next question.
ANON: You've told us something about the jump, about working the escape door and plunging out into the darkness. How did you bail out without tipping off the crew?
COOPER:
(tape garbled briefly here.)
.took the stewardess' forward, and ordered the' captain to lock the door from the inside. I checked it: out, It was locked. I returned aft, closing the first-class and. tourist compartment curtains securely behind me.

In United Air Lines case, all passengers deplaned, two stewardess and three flight crew personnel remained on board.
In NORJAK, hijacker instructed he be flown to Mexico City, instructing pilot to fly at not more than 10,000 feet, with flaps at 15 degrees, the landing gear down and rear steps of plane also down, plane involved being Boeing 727, a tri-jet, with stairs at rear. Hijacker finally agreed to having steps raised. (It is noted Boeing 727 aircraft unable to take off with stairs in lowered position. However in order for stairs to be lowered in flight, it is necessary that rear pressured door be in open position on take-off.)
Continuing in NORJAK, stewardess remained in cabin with hijacker, and hijacker had stewardess show him how to lower steps and ordered her to go to first class section. United Air Lines hijacker ordered stewardess to go to front section of plane and did not require instructions as to how to operate lowering mechanism of rear stairs.
In NORJAK, plane captain was in contact with hijacker by intercom and just prior to final communication with hijacker, captain had signal

United Air Lines case, hijacker jettisoned one, two or three parachutes in Nevada, at least one containing homing device, and had rope or harness in his possession to fasten money and equipment to him. In United Air Lines case, the rope was 19 feet long with eye grommets. In interview of local National Guard parachute jumper, he indicated it is standard operating procedure in National Guard units to have "H" harness with which equipment package is strapped to body. Approximately 25 foot rope is fastened to harness and equipment package, and after parachute is opened, jumper lowers package so it dangles below him. As jumper approaches ground, he releases rope from body harness with result package will drop in immediate area of landing. Jumper cannot retain package fastened to body as this would hinder landing operation and possibly cause serious injury.
Physical description in both cases is remarkably similar. In NORJAK case, subject is described as possibly in mid 40s, and personal observation of MC COY, age 29, gives immediate impression of man possibly 40. Composit photograph of NORJAK subject bears strong resemblance, particularly hair- line, hair part, shape of face and nose.

Composit photograph of NORJAK subject bears strong resemblance, particularly hair- line, hair part, shape of face and nose. In NORJAK case, witnesses describe subject's complexion as olive, Latin appearance, medium smooth. In United Air Lines case, witnesses likewise described subject as of dark complexion, possibly Mexican, believed due to make-up. In NORJAK case, subject described as having sideburns at low ear level. Subject in United Air Lines case upon arrest had sideburns to bottom lobe of ear. In NORJAK case, witnesses stated voice had no particular accent, possibly from Midwest section of United States. In United Air Lines case, witnesses described subject's voice as normal and did not refer to any accent of any type.
In NORJAK case, subject described as heavy smoker of Raleigh filter-tip cigarettes. In United Air Lines case, subject brought supply of candy and continually ate candy during flight. It is noted United Air Lines investigation has not indicated United Air Lines subject smokes; however, he is from Raleight, North Carolina.

On April 12, 1972, it was determined from the doctor who treated MC COY regarding a leg injury that the injury was legitimate and that MC COY's physical education instructor at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, stated that MC COY was injured at a ski area while skiing and that he saw MC COY fall and, therefore, felt that the injury was legitimate. He stated MC COY did not receive a broken leg but a sprain which required MC COY to weara cast for a period of approximately four days, the injury having occurred on March 21, 1972.

appears to have an extremely wild imagination coupled with the obsession that ART LINKLETTER and are "master criminals".
Following the interview of on 7/31/72, a letter was directed by to the Los Angeles Office postmarked 8/1/72, in which she stated she had forgotten to demonstrate how as "D.B. Cooper" had placed a piece of scotch tape in his nose to make his nose appear narrower.
Enclosed with the letter was an airline ticket which she had recently received through the mails with an invitation to visit a land development project in Redlands, California. In her letter she stated this ticket was "bait" and believes ART LINKLETTER, through the land development company, was going to kill her. She stated, "I have an idea this two-way trip would be only one-way because of an accident". These tickets and invitations are regularly received by home owners in Southern California and to construe the receipt of such literature as some type of plot to murder appears completely absurd.
Based on the above, it does not appear that any information provided by should be considered reliable or valid and no investigation

Based on the above, it does not appear that any information provided by should be considered reliable or valid and no investigation concerning allegations made by appears warranted.
The above is being furnished for the information of St. Louis and Seattle as more letters from might well be received in the future wherein she will allege to have information concerning other major crimes.
The airline ticket, photographs of the LINKLETTERS and the letter from dated 8/1/72, will be maintained in Los Angeles file 164-497.

RE: "CHANGED" UNSUB; Source ETHEL SCHNEIDER
Title marked changed to reflect correct spelling of ETHEL SCHNEIDER previously carried as ETHYL SNYDER. b6 b7C
2/27/74. Re Seattle memo of SA
dated
On April 9, 1974, Mrs. ETHEL SCHNEIDER, 812 West First Street, Aberdeen, Washington, was shown a composite drawing of UNSUB, Aka D. B. COOPER and she stated that she could not identify him as being identical with the name who had contacted her during July of 1971 and had obtained $15 from her as mentioned in referenced memo.
. It should be noted Mrs. SCHNEIDER is 77 years old and she explained that the reason she contacted the FBI was that she had run across an old newspaper clipping concerning captioned matter and had felt the description of D. B. COOPER was similar to the man who contacted her as mentioned above. She had no further information concerning this unidentified man and had not seen him before since the above mentioned incident. She added this matter was reported to the Aberdeen Police Department, however, they did not apprehend this man.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, North- west Orient Airlines complied with his instructions.

4. Ascertain if he has knowledge of airplanes or parachuting (i.e. private pilot's license, skydiving experience, or military jump experience ).
5. Obtain current photograph, color if possible, to display to witnesses. (Note: All NORJAK eyewitnesses have been repeatedly contacted and have reviewed numerous photographs. Up to now they have been extremely cooperative, not withstanding the many contacts they have endured both at work and at home. Based on the above, these witnesses will not be contacted to view photographs unless there is no other way to eliminate a suspect).
6. Compare suspect's fingerprints and palm prints with NORJAK partials on file with the Identifica- tion Division.
7. Ascertain if he is in any way familiar with the Pacific Northwest area and in particular if he ever flew over this area.
8. Check current financial situation and contrast it to his situation prior to NORJAK.
