The FBI Laboratory advised by communication dated 4/19/74 as follows:
It should be noted that this crime was committed on 11/24/71. Due to the amount of time that has passed since that date, the value of any further hair comparisons is very limited.
San Francisco Division advised by communication dated 1/2/74 as follows:
U. S. Parachute Associa- tion, Monterey, California, has advised his office staff is rather small and his own work schedule usually crowded and therefore, he would prefer checks of his records be limited to those suspects on whom he might provide worthwhile infor- mation.

DETAILS:
Investigation to identify Unsub. to date has been negative.
Prior to the hunting season which began in October, 1973, the Seattle Division again disseminated information con- cerning this matter to hunters via the Washington State Game Wardens responsible for the area into which Unsub. parachuted,
At the end of the 1973 hunting season, no positive results were achieved from the leads that were received because of the publicity made available to Pacific Northwest hunters.
On 12/17/73, EARL COSSEY advised that the parachute supplied to Unsub. was made of a white "rip-stop" material in- vented since 1945. Several of the canopies shown to him as. possibly being identical with Unsub.'s parachute were made of a "twill" material manufactured prior to 1945. Further, COSSEY stated, the parachutes supplied to Unsub. were of a nonstearable variety with no stearing devices whatever.

Danachutac they wane the property of address Kent, Washington, phone number advised on 5/20/74 that the parachutes used by Unsub. had no hooks on which to fasten a chest pack, 
i.e., auxiliary parachute. stated that an experienced parachutist would be able to fashion ties to the "back pack", i.e., main parachute, which would allow the auxiliary parachute to be fastened to the "back pack" and it could be used in an emergency.
The main parachute used by Unsub. is described as follows:
Model NB6 (Navy Back Pack 6) in a sage green nylon container with matching harness, without "D" rings to attach an auxiliary parachute.
is described as follows:
Model NB6 (Navy Back Pack 6) in a sage green nylon container with matching harness, without "D" rings to attach an auxiliary parachute. The parachute has a 28-foot white nylon flat circular canopy with a specially fitted foam padded cushion. The pilot chute is also white. The "chest pack" parachute used by Unsub. was a training pack dummied up to look like a good parachute for training purposes. It has no pilot chute and its canopy is white in color.
On 11/22/73, the Portland, Oregon Journal Newspaper offered a reward of $1,000 for the first missing $20 bill "recovered from the loot collected two years ago by D. B. COOPER, the still missing parachuting airplane hijacker." In a Portland, Oregon Journal article dated 11/26/73, the following information was published:
"The Journal is making its 'Secret Witness' plan available for use in helping recover the 'Cooper cash,' the $200, 000 that disappeared the night of Nov. 24, 1971, with the parachuting hijacker popularly known as D. B. COOPER.
"The plan can be used with or separate from the newspaper's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in that can be
"The plan can be used with or separate from the newspaper's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in that can be verified by the FBI to be part of the money Cooper obtained from Northwest Orient Airlines prior to jumping from a jetliner he had commandeered. It can be used to return the money, enter into negotiations for its returnor to provide information on the whereabouts of the elusive hijacker.
"The 'Secret Witness' plan will enable someone with one or more of the missing bills to surrender the money and still keep his or her identity secret.
"Here is how to use the plan:

b6 b7C
DB Cooper-12886SE 164-81
"1. Place the money in a place of your choosing and write down instructions for locating it. .
"2. Do not sign your name, but on both lower corners of the first page write a code, using any combin- ation of numbers and letters.
"3. Tear off one of the corners, making a jagged tear. Keep the torn off corner bearing your code and mail the report containing the duplicate code to 'Secret Witness, ' The Journal, 1320 SW Broadway, Portland, One.
Keep the torn off corner bearing your code and mail the report containing the duplicate code to 'Secret Witness, ' The Journal, 1320 SW Broadway, Portland, One. 97201.
"The Journal will forward your information to the FBI which will pick up the money and verify whether it is indeed from the Cooper ransom. If it is, that fact will be published in the newspaper.
"After that, give the torn off corner you have kept to a trusted friend or to an attorney or to your minister with instructions to take it directly to the Secret Witness plan coordinator at The Journal. If the codes and torn edges match, your agent will be given the $1,000 for the first $20 of the *Cooper cash' to be turned in."
In addition to the above reward, Northwest Orient Airlines, authorized a finder's fee of $25,000 total reward or 15% of any portion of the D. B. COOPER ransom money that is returned.
Finally, the Seattle Post Intelligencer Newspaper has offered a $5,000 reward in connection with its "Secret Witness Program" for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this crime.

On 11/29/73, the following article was published in the Tacoma, Washington News Tribune under the headline "Skyjacker Cooper: Still A Folk Hero, Still A Mystery":
"Two years after parachuting from a Northwest Airlines jet with $200,000 in ransom money, the skyjacker known as Dan Cooper remains a folk hero and a mystery.
"He is, according to the U. S. Department of Transportation, the only person ever to hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed or brought to justice. " 1We really know nothing more about him today than we did at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1971,' says special agent in charge of the Portland
FBI office.

"Authorities said this is what happened on that Thanksgiving Eve:
"A man who gave his name as Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket at Portland International Airport to Seattle aboard Northwest Airlines' Flight 305 which originated in Washington, D.C.
"No antihijacking measures were in operation as the 36 passengers boarded the Boeing 727 for the 25-minute flight.
"Once in the air, Cooper handed stewardess a note saving he had a bomb. Following Cooper's orders, sat beside the skyjacker and wrote down instructions to the pilot.
"He wanted 10,000 $20 bills to be delivered to him at Seattle in a laundry sack, along with two sets of parachutes. Otherwise he threatened to blow up the plane.
"Airline officials and Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion agents complied with his requests and Cooper allowed the passengers and two of the three stewardesses to disembark at Seattle.
"Then he ordered the plane to fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200 miles per hour, at 10,000 feet, flaps down. The crew was to stay in the cockpit.
"After takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding ramp had been unlatched.
"Nothing was heard from Cooper for about 20 minutes.
"After takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding ramp had been unlatched.
"Nothing was heard from Cooper for about 20 minutes. At 8:10 p.m., as the plane crossed the Lewis River in south- western Washington, thought the hijacker was having trouble with the ramp and called back over the plane's interphone:
"Anything we can do for you?"
"There was no answer.
"Another light flashed showing the ramp was fully extended. A few seconds later the hijacker came back on the interphone: "No."

"That was the last ever heard of him.
"When the plane landed in Reno, the rear ramp was down and Cooper was gone. The 21-pound sack of money was gone. One set of parachutes was gone. The skyjacker, who had carefully reclaimed his note to the stewardess, had left no fingerprints.
"Authorities believed Cooper jumped from the plane near Woodland, Wash. The town was transformed into a bustling command post for a small army of newsmen and dozens of FBI agents, police and soldiers from Ft.
The town was transformed into a bustling command post for a small army of newsmen and dozens of FBI agents, police and soldiers from Ft. Lewis.
"With planes, helicopters, Jeeps and track dogs, they combed the vast, densely wooded region northeast of Woodland. Much of it was rugged terrain, thick with freshly fallen snow, and virtually impassable.
"The hijacker left the plane clad only in a light business suit and street shoes. He parachuted into the black- ness of a raging thunderstorm, into a 200 m.p.h. hour wind and temperatures of minus 7 degrees.
"He could not have survived, police reasoned. They said they were simply looking for a body and a bag of money and that could wait until the spring thaw. A week later the army of searchers was disbanded.
"In the ensuing months Cooper became a legend in the Northwest - pictured as a lone Robin Hood who stole from a giant corporation, hurt no one and got away. A song ex- tolling his feat became a hit. "D. B. Cooper, Where Are You?" Tee shirts sold by the thousands.
"The media had erroneously identified the skyjacker as D.

"The media had erroneously identified the skyjacker as D. B. rather than Dan Cooper.
"Then, late in March, 1972, 300 soldiers from Ft. Lewis searched the thawing terrain for 18 days. They found not a trace of Cooper, 'although we did find a body and cleared up a local murder.' says FBI agent

" "We have no physical evidence to go on except the $20 bills,' he said, adding the numbers of all 10,000 bills were circulated to banks in a 34-page booklet. None has turned up.
"Northwest Airlines, which offered a $25,000 reward for recovery of the ransom, has canceled the offer.
"But last week, on the second anniversary of the hijacking, the Oregon Journal newspaper offered $1,000 to anyone who could produce one of the $20 bills. There have been no takers.

The Seattle Division advised Minneapolis by airtel dated 7/23/73 as follows:
It is possible that Unsub. made a trial run or runs prior to NORJAK, with the purpose of perfecting his hijack plan. If passenger lists of flights from Portland to Seattle for two weeks prior to NORJAK could be obtained the names on these lists could be compared to NORJAK indices, and other lists currently on file at Seattle in order to possibly identify Unsub.
In an attempt to determine if Unsub. made a trial run prior to NORJAK, Northwest Orient Airlines, Seattle, Washington, was contacted and furnished the following information:
Records of reservations are stored in Northwest Orient Airline Univac Computer Systems and can be retrieved as far back as 5 years. Copies of tickets sold by Northwest Orient Airlines are on file and can also be reviewed.
Concerning the above, the Minneapolis Division ad- vised that tapes recording passengers of all Northwest Orient Airlines flights are maintained by Northwest
Concerning the above, the Minneapolis Division ad- vised that tapes recording passengers of all Northwest Orient Airlines flights are maintained by Northwest Orient Airlines only six (6) months. The tapes are then erased and reused. No passenger lists for Northwest Orient Airlines flights from Portland to Seattle from 11/10/71 to 11/23/71 are in existence.

On 11/19/73,
Novato, California, advised as follows :
Since he had seen the movie "Airport" on television he has given a great deal of thought as to how this crime was perpetrated. He stated that he was principally interested in obtaining any reward that might be forthcoming for furnishing information concerning this case. He also stated that he had formally worked on airplanes and was familiar with them; how- ever, he did not know the difference between a Boeing 727 and a 737.
In essence, theory is that the hijacker was probably a mechanic for Northwest Orient Airlines and at some time prior to the hijacking, had access to this particular aircraft.
In essence, theory is that the hijacker was probably a mechanic for Northwest Orient Airlines and at some time prior to the hijacking, had access to this particular aircraft. According to any confident mechanic, if given enough time, could remove panels from the airplane, either in the floor or restroom area, secrete, himself in the space after fashioning some kind of device to pull the panel or floor in behind him. He suggested that the hijacker could have gotten into the cargo area and hidden in a box in the above manner. theory was that a mechanic with the Airline could have accomplished these things at any time when the aircraft was having a major overhaul.
It should be pointed out that in all probability the hijacker jumped from the aircraft since there was evidence of a pressure change when the stairwell closed apparently after a heavy object jumped from the stairs. The same pres- sure change occurred when a subsequent demonstration was con- ducted by throwing a 150 lb. object from the stairs.
The Minneapolis Division advised by communication dated 1/4/74 as follows:
Northwest Orient Airlines, was contacted on 12/17/73.
The Minneapolis Division advised by communication dated 1/4/74 as follows:
Northwest Orient Airlines, was contacted on 12/17/73. advised that it would be virtually impossible for unknown subject to remove panels from the airplane, either in the floor or restroom area, in order to secrete himself under the floor of the airplane. He advised that in order to remove the panels, rivets must be removed. He advised that the floor panels are small and it would require the removal of several of the panels in order for a man to secrete himself under the floor. advised that an individual very familiar with the aircraft could get from the cabin area to the cargo area using internal passages. He advised that if the individual accomplished this feat, he would experience extreme cold. He advised that the air pressure in the cargo area is adjusted and could be tolerated by an individual.

Woodland, Washington, and who both advised that said photo was similar to an individual who had been in in the recent past. Neither of then stated that the photo was identical to said indi- vidual, whose name and address was unknown to them, however.
They were unable to describe him any further then the fact that he seemed familiar to the photo. further advised that she had recently dis- covered three "musty" $20 bills in her cash register.
She advised that she turned the @20 bills over to the Bank of the West, 206 Davidson Street, Woodland, Washington, and they preserved them in a special plastic envelope. She advised that she had no reason to believe that the three "musty" bills had any connection with the individual who appeared similar to the artist's drawing of D. B. COOPER.

At approximately 1030 hours this date while on duty at "C" Checkpoint, a man came up to the Scanray who looked very familiar to R/0. The first thing that caught my eye was his hair, and I thought it was D. B. Cooper who hijacked Northwest Airlines flight 305 on 11-24-71.
The first thing that caught my eye was his hair, and I thought it was D. B. Cooper who hijacked Northwest Airlines flight 305 on 11-24-71. The description I got from looking at him was as follows: approximately 6' tall, 170 Ibs., black hair (receding), W/M/A, age in 40's, olive complexion, wearing a brown suit and carrying a briefcase approximately 14" long, 10" high and 4" wide. When he arrived at the checkpoint the first thing he did was put out a cigarette in the ash can. He looked at me and immediately turned his head. The description of subject on composite is as follows: W/M, middle 40's, 5' 10" to 6', 170 - 180 1bs., dark brown or black hair, heavy smoker, wearing black or brown suit, carrying brief case.
After I had been relieved on the checkpoint, I came up to the office to see if we had a picture of subject and none could be found. I went back to the detectives' office and asked and he said he would recognize him if he saw him. We both then went down to C-6 and they were boarding the flight. said that it was very close resemblance.
We both then went down to C-6 and they were boarding the flight. said that it was very close resemblance. We stood so that as they were walking to the gate we could get a face-on view and when he saw us, he put his boarding pass under his nose to hide his mouth. We let him board and I then contacted FAA and gave them the information and they took over.
