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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 . 2 - Bureau (164-2111) ^2 - Las Vegas (164-60) 2 - Los Angeles (164-797) 2 - Minneapolis (164-73) (Encl.

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.

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. DB Cooper-1500 -2-PD 164-41 TOM COLL returned my call advising that he had finished having an extensive conversation with WALLACE in which they regurgitated the conversation that they had previously, with WALLACE also advising him that he was satisfied that the original story was a hoax.

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

FBI-SEATTLE DB Cooper-143 SE 164-81 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.
