INVESTIGATIVE STEPS TO PROCESS NORJAK SUSPECTS
In checking on suspect that evening, the Portland Division advised that he definitely had been eliminated. A police officer of The Dalles, Oregon Police Department, visited him in The Dalles, and definitely identified him as the above and the fact was noted that he.could not have been on the plane since he was at The Dalles.
There was no FBI release to the press concerning the above suspect, but the press.coverage in Oregon, and in the State of Washington was so intense, it may have become known to the press, that the above WAS contacted by a police officer.
It is suggested that the fact that the name "D. B. COOPER" is not involved in this matter not be given publicity outside the Bureau in order to utilize this fact as an aid in the initial

of the following information is to conveniently list all the known facts concerning the hi- jacker's profile and to combine them with suppositions that can be reasonably inferred from those facts. The suppositions have been included to aid in processing a suspect. They should not be considered as concrete facts, nor should they be used as the sole determining factor in drawing investi- gative conclusions.
SUMMARY
Unsub was a well spoken, conservative gentlemen; probably a Catholic with Mexican or Indian blood. He was not an alcoholic. He probably lived in the Portland or Seattle areas or had flown more than once . over these areas. He apparently had no accomplices. He was not an experienced skydiver and most probably received his jump training in the military. His hijacking plan was not well thought out, and he was probably not an experienced criminal. He was apparently having financial troubles prior to November, 1971, and he may have previously worked in an airline- related indus try.
The reasons for the above suppositions are in- cluded below.
BACKGROUND
. It is felt Unsub was not. an experienced criminal . because of his mannerism exhibited after he received the ransom money.

The Unsub, aka 2 at 2:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time, November 24, 1971, purchased a one-way coach ticket at the Portland International Airport, Portland, Oregon, for travel from Portland to Seattle, Washington, on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight Number 305, which was a Boeing 727 aircraft. . Unsub paid for this flight with a twenty dollar bill and had no luggage. He occupied seat number 18 E on the aircraft.
The Boeing 727 has three seats on each side of the aisle.

He occupied seat number 18 E on the aircraft.
The Boeing 727 has three seats on each side of the aisle. Row 18 is the last one on both the right and left side of the aisle. The seats are identified from left to right as you face the front of the aircraft with A, B, C on the left side of the aisle and D (aisle seat), E (center seat) and F. (window seat) on the right side.
Almost flush against the back of row 18, except for some eight inches near the aisle, is a bulkhead which forms the wall for the lavatories, located behind row 18; one on the right and one on the left. Beyond the lavatory doors is the door leading to the air stairs.
The door to the air stairs is always closed and · locked, except when loading or unloading passengers. It is located straight away at the end of the aisle beyond row 18 and is perhaps some 3% feet from the last row and is in easy reach for someone sitting in row 18.
Built into the lower portion of the door to the air stairs is the stewardess seat which is pulled down when in use, so that a person sitting in that seat looks straight down the aisle toward the

Prior to the time the aircraft taxied on the run- way, he purchased a bourbon and Seven Up from Stewardess As the aircraft taxied toward the runway for takeoff, Unsub turned and handed Stewardess envelope containing a note written in black felt-tip pen on plain white unlined paper which said:
"Miss, I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit by me".

The hijacker then dictated the following:
"I want $200,000 by 5:00.p.m. in cash". (No specification as to denomination, age or sequence of bills). "Put it in a knapsack. I want two back parachutes and two front parachutes" (no other specification concerning para- chute types). "When we land I want a fuel truck ready · to refuel" (probably his flying experience caused him to add this). "No funny stuff or I'll do the job" (the first attempted parachute skyjacking had been foiled about 12 days earlier by the hijacked aircraft's

The two seats which she had observed to be oc -. cupied by the unknown subject were processed for fingerprints. In addition the telephone, the area around the rear door, the rear door and four plastic drinking glasses found in the trash receptacle by the back door were also processed for fingerprints. In addition, a cloth towel affixed to the rear of one of the seats reportedly occupied by the unknown subject was removed and examined.by Reno Agents. On that towel was noted what appeared to be a short human hair.
The FBI Laboratory by communication dated Decem- ber 9, 1971, advised that an examination of the towel sub- mitted by the Las Vegas Office, disclosed a brown head hair clipping and a brown limb hair, both of Caucasian origin. The report continued that the head hair clipping is suitable for significant comparison results, but that the limb hair possesses to few unique microscopic characteristics to be of value for that purpose.
The Laboratory also advised that the hairs obtain- ed from the towel have been mounted on a glass

Ransom money in the amount of $200,000 was made up entirely of used, random 20 dollar bills. It was obtain- ed from the Seattle First National Bank, Main Office, and was part of a rancom package of $250,000. which had been maintained by the bank. for such emergencies. The package measured approximately one foot by one foot by eight or nine inches and weighed 19 pounds. .

Aviation Administration flight section at' Portland International Airport reflected that on November 24, 1971 between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, there was a ceiling of 5,000 feet, 3,500 feet broken clouds, and at 1,500 feet scattered and broken clouds at times with a wind of 12-14 knots. The. temperature at the end of the air stairs at the time of the jump was approximately 0º C.
On October 5, 1972, Mr. DONALD W. NYROP, President, Northwest Orient Airlines, Minneapolis-Saint Paul Interna- tional Airport, advised he authorized a finers fee of $25,000 total reward or 15% for any portion of the ransom money that is returned.
In addition, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, a local newspaper in Seattle, has offered $5,000 for informa- tion leading to the arrest and conviction of Unsub.

There it was refueled and the $50,000 was handed to the hijacker by a policewoman. The money was raised by bankers as the plane circled the city for two hours.
"The plane then took off for a scheduled stop in Regina, Saskatchewan, to let the 114 passengers aboard disembark. The plane did not land in Regina, however, but turned back and set down in Great Falls again where the passengers and three of the nine crew members were set free.
"On its second take-off from Great Falls, Air Canada officials said the hijacker wanted to be taken to New York City before proceeding to Ireland. The man, des- cribed as 5-fect-7, dark-haired and in his 30's then decided he wanted to go to Phoenix, Arizona, but finally ' settled for Calgary.
"At Great Falls Airport, Gov. FORREST ANDERSON and hundreds of onlookers stood by. ANDERSON said he came to persuade the hijacker to surrender or at least release the passengers. He never saw the hijacker, however,"

By communication, November 1, 1972, Seattle Division advised the Bureau and Norfolk that Unsub had in his possession, prior to the time he jumped, the following paraphernalia:
A. Parachute Back Pack
B. Parachute Chest Pack C. Briefcase or attache case
D. Dark overcoat I

Since none of the above was found when the plane was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him, or discarded some of them prior to jumping ..
The above-described attache case supposedly contained a bomb. It is believed Unsub throw this attache case from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping, it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft.

On 4/22/72 SA at WFO advised that the stewardess, had observed the photo 4 of the individual in the black and white knitted hat. She advised that out of the 300 photos she has seen, this is the closest likeness to the hijacker. The picture bears many likenesses to the individual, but she would not positively identify him.
SA advised further, that they had received a second photo from New York of an individual standing near a curb, by autos and store fronts, with his hands close together as though they were handcuffed.

Re Minneapolis airtel to Seattle, dated 7/13/76.
Enclosed for the Bureau is one (1) copy of referenced communication.
In view of the information contained in referenced communication, it does not appear a campaign such as planned at the San Francisco conference would be of any benefit to Northwest Orient Airlines. In addition, it might prove detrimental to Bureau interests. Unless advised to the contrary by the Bureau, therefore, Seattle will cancel plans to carry out an extensive publicity campaign concerning this matter in November of this year.

Re Seattle airtel to Bureau dated 5/12/76.
Contact with media outlets regarding requests as set forth in referenced airtel has determined that before media outlets will even consider printing a volume of serial numbers, the matter must be a current, constant highlight news interest (such as the first case), and must have a constant meaningful local interest to the readership.
There are no newspapers, magazines, or similar publications located within the Los Angeles Division

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 .

Dear.
This is in answer to your letter dated December 1; 1976, to Special Agent of. this office b6 requesting information concerning the November 24, 1971.
b7C incident involving the hijacking of a Northwest Airlines airliner by an unidentified individual known as "Dan Cooper".
The detailed questions you ask concerning this investigation are logical ones. However, anyone knowing the answers to those questions would either have had to be very close to the investigation or be involved in the violation itself. The processing of suspects developed in a complex investigation is much more difficult if all the minute details of the violation are made known to the general public. The courts have also established guidelines for the commenting on pending prosecutive cases by attorneys, investigators, and others in a position to have facts about the cases.
Since this matter is currently an active pending investigation, and since the responsible individual has now been indicted by a United States Grand Jury at Portland, Oregon, on November 24, 1976, it will not be possible for

He left behind two of the para- chutes, including the best for his purpose, a sky diver's chute.
Cooper had no hat nor goggles. He was dressed in a business suit and oxford street shoes.
"His shoes would have been snapped off his feet when he stepped out into the 196 mph slipsteam," Himmelsach said he was told by parachute experts.
"His eyes would have been blacked by the force of the wind and he probably tumbled out of control. He would have landed in his
stocking feet, blinded by the slipstream and the raging storm."
With the 28-foot canopy on his chute, the FBI agent said, Cooper "would have descend- ed 26 mph vertically." .
"Add a 30 to 50 mph wind and he would have hit at a speed of 50 to 70 mph," the agent estimated. "The experts say it is incon- ceivable that he could have escaped serious injury or instant death - even assuming his parachute opened."
When Cooper parachuted out, he took with him the note in which he threatened to blow up the plane if his demands were not met.
But he left behind the "bomb" he carried in an attache case.

At his request, I gave him the telephone number 324-3691 which was Mr. COLL's extension at Bureau Headquarters.
A few minutes after termination of this call I tried to telephone Mr. COLL only to discover that he was at that moment on the telephone with MIKE WALLACE. The party answering the telephone in Mr. COLL's office said he did overhear COLL saying on the telephone, "MIKE, we have been through all of that, let's not rehash it." When I asked if I could hold for COLL, the person said that he was in a listening mode at that time and it might be some time before he would be free to talk to me. COLL will return my call as soon as he completes his conversation with MIKE WALLACE.

MEDIA MATTERS
ReButel to all Field Divisions dated 5/5/78, captioned, "NORJAK. "
Referenced airtel instructs that any additional press inquiries concerning this 6 1/2 year old investigation be referred to the Seattle Division for handling and sets forth the text of what Seattle considers the only information that should be released to the press.
Portland concurs in the theory that all media inquiries be handled by one Bureau spokesman in any investiga- tion which has national or regional interest. Certainly NORJAK falls within this area and Seattle, as office of origin, should indeed respond to all media inquiries to the extent deemed appropriate by Seattle and the Bureau.

The UNKNOWN SUBJECT apparently boarded the above captioned flight at Portland, Oregon, and since the only person who was not available for interview when the plane arrived in Seattle, was a DAN COOPER, who boarded at Portland, ti is assumed this is the name used by the subject.
Shortly after the plane left Portland, the UNSUB approached Stewardess and gave her a note telling that the plane was being hijacked. UNKNOWN SUBJECT retrieved that note. then told Stewardess
who thereafter sat with the subject and transmitted his instructions to the Captain.
When he first announced the hijacking, the UNSUB asked for two parachutes. He later changed his instructions and asked for four parachutes, two back chutes and two chest chutes, plus the $200,000.00. Further, the subject wanted everything collected at SEA-TAC Airport before he would allow the plane to land and he wanted all this done by 5:00 PM. The plane circled SEA-TAC Airport for approximately 1 hours during which time the parachutes and money was collected and brought to the Airport.
The plane landed at SEA-TAC at approximately 5:45 PM and after the subject knew the money was being brought to him and the

CARTELES :selected: DB Cooper-1668SA SHUTZ wanted to know generally what area we were planning on searching. I told him we would search the area which is approximately 20 miles square, approximately miles north of Woodland, Washington. I advised him that we were doing this today and then we would continue the search on the air flight pattern approximateln to Eugene, Oregon, which is approximately 100 miles, this being largely a valley, but beyond that there was some question in my mind as to the wisdom of the search since it was entirely over mountains, most of which is probably covered with snow now and at 10,000 feet, the parachute could drift in many directions. Further, with a white parachuts it would be extremely difficult to locate in snow-covered mountains.
I advised him I would Worry about that part when I finished what seemed to be more urgent.

Examination of this parachute reveals there was no drouge chute on it.
The stewardess on the plane when interviewed said that the hijacker was upset when the money was not delivered in a knapsack. As a result she saw him wrap this money in some white material.
SAC CAMPBELL speculates that the money was wrapped in the drouge chute. He advised that the second parachute in the plane is a backpack, which has never been opened. It is pink and it is being taken to the National Guard in Reno at once to see if it is in workable condition.

She said that he opened the briefcase and showed her a bundle of red sticks, which she believed was dynamite. She said that the bundle consisted of six or eight reddish colored sticks, which were about six or eight inches long. She said that there was no writing on the outside of the red sticks, and she believed they were bundled as though they were taped together.
She said that there was a small wire leading from the bundle of sticks, which the man held in his hand, as if to indicate he could detonate the bomb by touching the bare end of the wire to a contact. She said that there was also a battery in the briefcase, which was cylindrical in shape and about eight-inches long. She said that she could not describe the battery, as she paid more attention to the dynamite sticks.
said that after she sat down, she asked the man what she should do. He replied, "Take this down." She said she reached into her purse and got a pen and note pad. She said that man dictated the following request to her :
"I want $200,000 by 5:00 PM in cash.

He said that the man who he believes was the hijacker of the plane was sitting on the right-hand side of the plane in the last row of seats.
said that he first was aware of some problem about ten minutes after takeoff. He said at that time a dark-haired stewardess came from the front of the plane and handed a note to a blonde-haired stewardess who was sitting in the seat next to the hijacker. He said that the dark-haired stewardess then returned to the front of the plane and the blonde stewardess got up and went to the phone at the rear of the plane.
said that while in flight the pilot made several announcements that they were experiencing mechanical difficulty. He said that he was suspicious when the plane circled over Seattle for about two hours. He said that during this time the blonde-haired stewardess who was seated next to the hijacker, made numerous phone calls from the rear of the plane. He said that during the period when the plane was circling Seattle he left his seat and moved to a seat several rows forward.
said that when the plane made its landing approach, the pilot announced that they were about to land and

UNIDENTIFIED object high on a bluff on the south side of the lake, a short distance from the flight pattern of the hijacked aircraft. Attempts were made by helicopters to view this unidentified object with negative results due to hazardous flying conditions, low clouds and rain storms. This item will be the subject of intensive search immediately by helicopters taking off on 11/27/71, and will be considered a prime search area.
It is felt that the pilot and crew of the hijacked aircraft should be questioned concerning the lights on the plane going off, from 8:00 to 8:15 PM, to determine if this was in fact the hijacked aircraft. Further, it is felt that the crew of this plane should be asked a specific question of why they continued the flight to Reno, when the feeling of the pilot and crew was that the subject exited the plane at or about the Lake Merwin vicinity.
Further it is felt that the pilot and crew should be specifically asked if they had visual sitings of landmarks on course of the hijacked aircraft, particularly in the suspected drop area.
