I knew from the start that I wouldn't be caught.
I didn't rob Northwest Orient because I thought it Would be romantic, heroic or any of the other euphemisas that seem to attach themselves to situations of high risk.
I'm no modern day Robin Hood. Unfortunately do have . only 14 months to live.
My life has been one of hate, turmoil, hunger and more hate, this seemed to be the fastest and most profitable way to gain a few fast grains of peace of mind.
I don't blame people for hating me for what I've done nor do I blame anybody for wanting me to be caught and punished, though this can never happen.
I don't blame people for hating me for what I've done nor do I blame anybody for wanting me to be caught and punished, though this can never happen.
Here are some (not all) of the things working against the authoritiesi I'm not a boasting man I left no fingerprints I wore a toupee I wore putty make-up
They could add or subtract from the composite a hundred times and not come up with an accurate description; and we both know it.
I've come and gone on several airline flights already and am not holed up in some obsure backwoods town. Neither am I a psycho-pathic killer. As a matter of fact I've never even received a speeding ticket.
Thank you for your attention.

During his conversations with stewardess he indicated to her that he possessed considerable knowledge of aircraft and flying. In view of this it is felt that he could quite possibly be a pilot.

AT OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA Will review records of FAA concerning licensed pilots having the name of DAN or DANIEL COOPER and who might fit the description of Unsub in this matter.
This lead is being set out even though it is realized that Unsub quite possibly did not use his real name when purchasing his ticket.

The following investigation was conducted by SA on December 1, 1971:

Major
Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, advised he is acquainted with sport parachutists and skydiving activities in the . northwestern section of the United States.
b6 b7C
The U. S. Parachute Association has divided the country up into about seven regions with a total membership of about 25,000 to 30,000 people.
Hc further indicated that he firmly believed that if this had been a skydiver who committed the hijacking, the skydiver would not have come from the Northwest section of the United States. He believed that since most skydivers know each other in a section of the country, this would preclude it being an individual from that section of the country.
Major advised the jump from 10,000 feet in bad weather is not a great physical feat and there would be no problem in jumping at that altitude in bad weather.
Major advised the jump from 10,000 feet in bad weather is not a great physical feat and there would be no problem in jumping at that altitude in bad weather. He advised that an individual would not need jump boots and stated that he, hinself, has skydived with tennis shoes on.
At this time Major was shown an artist con- ception of an individual, allegedly the hijacker of Northwest Air Lines Flight 305, and he indicated he did not know anybody in his section of the country who fit this description. Major further stated that whoever set up the hijacking operation in this case knew quite a lot about airplanes. He further indicated that probably the reason behind the four parachutes given to the hijacker was that the hijacker wanted to test the good faith of the people on the ground inasmuch as a skydiver would be able to tell whether or not parachutes were operable. He further indicated that if two parachutes were left behind in the aircraft, the hijacker could have dropped one 'chute:and activated it as a decoy to ward off any trailing -air- craft, and then could have bailed out after the decoy 'chute was dropped,

Major advised that if the.hijacker were knowledgeable in flying and skydiving, he could have checked with the Portland, Seattle or Reno Weather Bureau a day or two before his feat concerning the weather forecast along the route. If a pilot is about to take a cross-country, he would normally check the weather bureau by indicating his name and aircraft number to the weather bureau in order that this infor- mation could be furnished. If this were the case, there is a possibility that someone could have checked the weather on a route between Seattle to Reno a day or two before the hijacking.
Maior further indicated that he was going to California, area for Christmas and intended to make a few jumps (skydive) and would check with his friends in that arca of the country regarding the hijacking and if any positive information is obtained, he would contact the FBI in Montgomery, Alabama,

I have suceeded in pulling off one of the most successful, talked about crimes of today. Then some guy credits himself with the masterpiece and thanks everbody, for their cooperation an hospitality. .. Well Damn it, this is making me look very stupid. These prank letters must stop ...
No one was indangered, the caper was only committed to show the unbelieving world that a PERFECT crime was possible.
I have notified the F.B.I. asking that they grant me Amnesty. The money will be returned.
