Pending) :selected: 9393 Title: UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER; NORJAK CAA - HIJACKING ARMED AND DANGEROUS Synopsis: To outline a three phase investigative plan concerning evaluation of recent DNA profile. Details: Over thirty years, more than one thousand possible subjects have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated, some required extensive investigation to eliminate, while some remained of interest and could not be included or excluded through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft in southern Washington on 11/24/1971 with the $200, 000 ransom, has not been identified. As airplane hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has recently advised that no statute of limitations exists. This remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. During 2001, advancements in sensitivity of DNA PCR/STR testing reached a point that resubmission of an item believed handled and worn by the UNSUB in this case was deemed worthwhile. Recently, SA :unselected: was advised that testing of this item (a black necktie) has resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA, which has been

A comprehensive review of each subject subfile (1, 057 currently) will be conducted to identify those not strongly eliminated at the time. 3. From those identified in phase two, leads will be set to obtain DNA samples from the suspect, subjects children, or other appropriate personal items belonging to him. The intent is to be very selective with these leads. It is anticipated that some of those contacted in phase three will contact the media. Receiving offices will be instructed to refer any media inquiries to the Seattle media coordinator. The specific source of the recovered DNA will not be discussed.

Cooper puzzle: The legend turns 30 By Susan Gilmore Seattle Times staff reporter If you believe a persuasive San Diego cabdriver, D.B. Cooper was a drifter and card player who died of a cocaine overdose in California 15 years after skyjacking a Northwest Airlines jet between Portland and Seattle. If you believe an equally insistent Florida realtor, D.B. Cooper was her late husband, a chain-smoking ex-con who revealed his true identity to her six years ago as he lay dying of kidney disease in a Pensacola hospital. And if you believe the FBI, the notorious skyjacker, after parachuting out of the plane at 10,000 feet with a 21-pound satchel of ransom money strapped to his chest, died in the

"There's no way," said Thomas, 50, a survival expert. " ... A lot of what (Jo Weber) is claiming came right out of a book." Thomas pulls out a well-worn map and traces the forests around Washougal, Clark County. This, he believes, is where Cooper's remains rest. But he is willing to entertain the notion that Cooper survived, so he walks the woods, sometimes with his grandchildren, searching for signs under branches and along creek banks. "Unsolved cases really intrigue me. This is my life," Thomas said. Some clues still kept secret When Cooper commandeered the Northwest jet, skyjacking was hardly a novel crime. More than 25 were attempted in 1971 alone, but he alone did not get caught. The following year, screening devices became mandatory in airports, and Himmelsbach said exit doors on airliners were modified with a device named the Cooper Vane so they could not be opened in midflight. The FBI won't talk about suspects in an open case. But DB Cooper-21670Page 6 of he Seattle Times: D.B.

I believe that this data package, if followed up, may enable that closure. My interest in the case started when I was transferred to Seattle in June of 1972 and the D.B. Cooper sensation was still very much in the news. In addition, the story of the Falcon and the Snowman was released a short time later and I was employed in an environment similar to that of the story. I did not relate the stories at that time. When I saw the pictuure (attached) in our local paper of it rang a very loud bell in my memory. He was D.B. Cooper as shown in the composit drawing of 1972. I then started the timeline relating :unselected: and Cooper and became more and more convinced that these names were very posibily the same man. Some questions I have not been able to answer from the internet are: o Did do any sport parashute jumping in highschool or shortly thereafter? o Where was his friend in '71 and '72 -- They had always worked together. was paroled form federal prison in I have no data on him since that time.

However, in general, and in the past we have directed most inquiries of this nature to public source information that is everywhere on this case. Much of it is not entirely accurate, but this helps us weed out people who claim first hand knowledge. Many people have viewed such shows as the Granite Productions proposal and used it as a basis to claim their husband/brother/etc. was Dan Cooper. Many people have submitted FOI requests. One FOI lawsuit is pending now. The only exceptions to this strategy in my knowledge was for a two 'mainstream shows (i.e. History Channel) in which we did live interviews. Even in those cases we never commented on the evidence we had, or provided any documents from the case file.

An investigation of his work record would help to rule him out as a suspect if he was at work when the high jacking went down or had not taken any vacation then. He may have left the job at Rocky Flats before the high jacking but I just do not remember anymore. Since then the Rocky Flats plant has been completely dismantled and the buildings all torn down and disposed of at a contaminated land fill. Dow Chemical Company was the prime contractor at the time so it would be necessary to check with their main office in Midland Michigan as they no longer have an office in Colorado. About the time of D.B. Cooper there was a young man who worked with us at Rocky Flats nuclear plant between Golden and Boulder Colorado. He was working in the engineering office and was about 25 years old. His last name was but I do not remember the first name. It should be easy enough to get the first name from Dow Chemical Company records. One day he showed us a photo of his wife, all decked out in those underwear type outfits they wear in Karate classes, standing next to the instructor.
