AFTER TAKING THE SEAT BESIDE THE HIJACKER, HE OPENED A BLACK ATTACHE CASE HE HAD IN HIS LAP AND SHOWED HER WHAT HE CLAIMED WAS A BOMB. SHE LATER DESCRIBED THE CONTENTS OF THE ATTACHE CASE AS A BUNDLE OF RED STICKS WHICH SHE BELIEVED WAS DYNAMITE. THE BUNDLE CONSISTED OF SIX OR EIGHT REDDISH COLORED STICKS, SIX OR EIGHT INCHES LONG, WITH NO WRITING ON THE OUTSIDE. THERE WAS SMALL WIRE LEADING FROM BUNDLE OF STICKS, AND THE HIJACKER HELD IT IN HIS HAND AS IF TO INDICATE HE COULD DETONATE THE BOMB BY TOUCHING THE WIRE TO A CONTACT. THERE WAS ALSO A CYLINDRICAL SHAPED BATTERY IN THE BRIEFCASE ABOUT EIGHT INCHES LONG.
AT SEATTLE, IN ANSWER TO HIS DEMANDS, THE HIJACKER WAS FURNISHED WITH FOUR PARACHUTES AND $200,000 IN $20 BILLS IN 164-41-105 CANVAS BANK BAG. WHEN THE PLANE LANDED AT RENO, NEVADA, SUBJECT 164441

Dear Sir:
I believe I may have valuable ########## information for you to relay to the FBI office your city about the parachuting skyjacker who left the N-O Airlines plabe in your area.
Please honor my request to remain anonymous in this letter to you and the FBI, anything further from me would be needless as I have all hunches on the identity of the skyjacker to give you in this letter, and nothing more and do not wish any typ of fetaliation now or later.
More than one person is involved I am very certain, The actual skyjacker himself I think, was recently employed

but his facial and hair appearances were not the same as the drawing of the suspect appearing the the papers everywhere. The features are the SAME, and all other characteristics decsribed in the press reports.

Shortly after 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST) 11/24/71, a lone white male traveling from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, on captioned flight displayed the contents of his brief case to a stewardess indicating to her it was a bomb which would be exploded unless his demands were met. The hijacker indicated his willingness to exchange the safety of the 36 passen- gers and crew for $200,000 in cash and four parachutes. He instructed that the plane circle the Seattle airport until his demands were met at which time the plane landed. Once the money and parachutes were loaded and the plane was being refueled, the hijacker allowed the passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane leaving a flight crew of three males and one female and the hijacker aboard. The hijacker indicated a desire to fly to Mexico City and instructed the plane to take off flying at a low altitude and slow speed, maintaining a southerly direction.
