Dear
I have already apologized to your mother for the delay in responding to your request for assistance in writing a term paper on D.B. Cooper, but let me also apologize to you for not replying sooner. There were many reasons, some of which are valid; others not so excusable. I hope that this belated letter will mollify not having had a quicker return to your well-written letter.
Thank you for choosing such an interesting and still unsolved case to research. D.B. Cooper is still an open case and unless it is solved, will remain so until well into the twenty- first century when the subject of the case would have passed away naturally. We still do some investigation regarding it; however, almost every logical angle has been addressed without success. Around the anniversary date, numerous leads are received from throughout the world. This results from an increase in publicity given by the media. We attempt to follow all logical leads, most of which have been previously considered or are fabricated.
We attempt to follow all logical leads, most of which have been previously considered or are fabricated.
Inasmuch as the case is still open and pending, it is against our policy to discuss any details with non-law enforcement personnel beyond what we have already revealed to the press. I have included a brief synopsis of the events that lead up to the last sighting of the individual known as D. B. Cooper. This is probably a fictitious name only used for ticket and manifest purposes by the hijacker. I have also included four different photographs of the artist conceptions as created by interviews of other passengers and the flight crew. As you can see, there was quite a variance in how he was described.

January 8, 1995
Dear F I mailed some information to you yesterday; I have kept so much paper work that probably I can reconstruct the 17 years and I were married. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I really do not remember very much accurately.
I wanted to ask you to please not discuss with the anything which I write you regarding my feeliings. I do not want them to be hurt anymore. I have maintained a relationship with them all through these years have never communicated with me; in fact. I would appreciate if you could obtain addresses' for me) They were involved with most of the information which I mailed to you.
I told you yesterday I was very angry when I received your letter dated January 24, 1973. In it you wrote:
Do you still believe what you wrote? What did you basel on? What do you know about which would make you write that?
I believe everything can be in the because God allows us to screw up everyday! But I think that precludes the statement that everything will work out as God so desires; I cannot believe the last 25 years have been
But I think that precludes the statement that everything will work out as God so desires; I cannot believe the last 25 years have been as God so desires. Maybe in your life, but not in mine! G
By the way, I'm no longer angry at you! I should have been courteous enough to answer your letter, but I probably would have written something for which I would have had to apologize! U
I'm also curious do you expect to find the same you played football with ???? That might sound "trite", I do not mean it to be. (Have you heard of the book: "Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus"? Well, that's why I ask these strange questions!) I have had 25 years to analyze these experiences, so, I guess i wonder if you ever picture as some one who abandoned his family? While it is true, we do not know what happened, and that is what you want to find out, these questions come to my mind, Especially, after visiting in 1993; I didn't feel they comprehended what and I had gone through but were just more interested in what happened to their friend 
I am going to close for this time .

Subject: D.B. Cooper Skyjacking Case - Most Probable Location of Cooper's Remains.
Honorable Director Freeh:
This no doubt sounds somewhat unusual, but partner and I collected and comprehensively analyzed all of the available information on the Cooper case as a hobby and professional challenge. In doing so, using our over 70 years of combined law enforcement and investigative experience, we concluded with at least ninety-percent certainty that D.B. Cooper's remains were scattered by wildlife on one of the islands shown on the enclosed maps, after he free-fell to his death.
Cooper's remains were scattered by wildlife on one of the islands shown on the enclosed maps, after he free-fell to his death. Our investigation included interviews with the case agent; and and expert parachutist. They both agreed that Cooper's chances of a survival landing were next to impossible under the conditions that existed, and estimated Cooper's free-fall drift to be about one mile to the northeast of where he jumped. From this information and other data, we believe he most likely landed on Government Island. We further concluded that all of the money went into the Columbia River and decomposed, except for the partially decomposed $5,800 found on a bank of the Columbia in February 1980
readily admitted in and that that find was proof that they had searched the wrong areas near the Lewis River in 1971 and 1972. Although the Fort Lewis Army troops did find two other unrelated bodies during those searches.

He had planned to search Governement Island, as he had done on other islands, but discontinued his efforts for several valid reasons. One being the marijuana growers who protect their illegal crops with booby-traps, as explained in the enclosed newsclipping, in addition to maps of the target search areas.
In that he decided his searching could be too hazardous, we decided to apprise the Bureau of our comprehensive conclusions for whatever value they might be to solve this case.
We also believe that a law enforcement search may reveal other crimes, evidence, or bodies like found in 1971 and 1972 in the Lewis River areas, in addition to the well-publicized

But if his identity were to be protected with certainty, I'm sure he would agree to an interview to corroborate what I have presented, and possibly more.
As a point of interest, and I came to our own independent opinions that Cooper's dark, or black, attire indicated that it was a service uniform, such as worn by bartenders, limousine drivers, et al. In addition, from all of the data, and the entire event, my own assessment of Cooper is that he was a loner casino worker from Las Vegas, a compulsive gambler, and hopelessly in debt to loan sharks who had given him a time-period ultimatum to pay up or else. Of course, we will never know unless his remains are found and identified.
If any of this is of interest, please do not hesitate to have one or more of your agents contact me at any time for all of the pertinent details. I have volumes of documentation, but the critical data can be fully explained in less than two hours.

& Narcotics experts hack through blackberry bushes on the Columbia River's Government Island to find and uproot 80 plants
By NANCY MCCARTHY
of The Oregonlan stall
By air and by sea they approached Government Island on Monday, men in green sheriff's un- iforms, men in camouflage, men in the dark blue jump suits of the bomb squad.
As the National Guard helicopter hovered over the Island in the Columbia River, narcotics and bomb experts approached in two boats.
In fields where cattle once grazed, authorities seized 80 marijuana plants, some chicken wire and a package of
In fields where cattle once grazed, authorities seized 80 marijuana plants, some chicken wire and a package of fertilizer.
National Guardsmen spotted three marijuana "gardens" as they flew over the 6-mile-long island near the Glenn Jackson Bridge and directed
those who arrived by boat to the growing areas. Men armed with machetes climbed up steep, rocky hillsides and hacked their way through 12- foot-high walls of blackberry bushes surrounding the plants.
"Once we get under those trees, we don't know what we'll find," said Sgt. Brian Martinek, a member of the Multnomah County sheriff's spe- clai investigations unit.
Three weeks ago, a caretaker alerted them to the plants. The caretaker's tractor had hit an ex- plosive and flown into the air, and sheriff's dep- uties feared the marijuana patches were booby- trapped. But they found no explosives Monday.
Usually Martinek and his team of sheriff's dep- uties work indoors, ferreting out grow operations in basements, closets and barns. But at least once a year, they jump in the sheriff's River Patrol

;Most of the island, except for the gastern tip, is owned by the Port of Portland. It is public land, butits lo- cation - accessible, only by boat - is isolated from public view. That makes it ripe for growers looking for a good place to hide their poten- tially profitable produce ..

« An earlier cursory examination Uy helicopter showed that growers had tunneled through the blackber- ry bushes, cleared a few of them and planted marijuana in their place. This wasn't a rich marijuana field fended regularly.
The plants seized Monday by Mar- tinek's team and authorities from the. Port of Portland, the city of Port- land and Oregon State Police - about 15 persons in all - were about aix weeks from harvesting. None yet had the sticky buds - the flowers that generate the marijuana "high."
But the healthy, strong plants, which stood '3 feet to 16 feet high, were well on their way to maturity. Between 1 and 1.5 pounds of mari- juana for every 3 to 4 feet of plant eventually could have been pro- duced, Martinek estimated.
On the street, buds are selling for
."Those taller ones would have had a heck of a bud on them," Martinek said. "They were planted in growing cups, like they do in an indoor oper- ation, to give them a good start.'

No one, knew who cultivated the crops, but they figured the garden- ers, who watered the plants by hand and fertilized via plastic bags, were unsophisticated ..
"The pros set up a watering pool and a drip system that waters the plants automatically. Then they get the heck out of there and don't come back very often," said Sgt. Timothy .McLain of the Oregon State Police. McClain is a member of the Port- land Airport Interagency Narcotics Team.
After four hours of hiking the beaches, climbing the rocks and hacking blackberry bushes, the au- thorities jumped back in their boats and headed for still another grow operation. In a field of blackberry : bushes near Northeast 182nd Ave- nue and Sandy Boulevard, they found 80 more plants.
They counted the day a success.
"If we got only three plants, it would be worthwhile," said George R. Schneider, a River Patrol officer for the sheriff's office.

Uh, now bear in mind that we are tape recording, so uh, try to keep your hand gestures down to a minimum and explain you know?
Oh yeah.
Right. What are we here to talk about today?
Okay. We're here to talk about D-B Cooper. A friend of mine back in nineteen sixty-one. I lived in Yreka, California, well, sixty, it was sixty actually when I lived there, in nineteen sixty I met this guy. Had just gotten out of the service he said and I thought he said he was from Los Angeles, now I'm not sure about that, he was from Los Angeles, we had parties together and stuff, he was always there at the parties, never drank, much,
b6 b7C
occasionally, uh, he was older than we were, I was at the time, and we figured, I figured at the time he was five, six, seven years older than I was and what we find out now he could have even been older, but like I say he was at different parties with us and he never joined in with us on anything, you know he stood back and watched us, laughed, joked, you know he was that kind, but he was not a rough and tough guy.
he was at different parties with us and he never joined in with us on anything, you know he stood back and watched us, laughed, joked, you know he was that kind, but he was not a rough and tough guy. He was not a fighter or you know, bragged about fighting like we did, see we was pretty into that stuff, that's what made him so different see, he was, you know, more grown up than we were, you know, but he still hung around with us and he lived there at uh, at Yreka in the b6 b7C
and one day I went to get my check and I was walking by and he went with me, I think we went to the post office to get our checks and uh, we got to talking and uh, he cashed his check and
Page 1
DB Cooper-21158 he wanted to uh, he was telling me that uh, well he ca, everytime he got his check every week, the one thing that you know, he made sure he got was a crab louie, he had to have this crab louie, that was his reward you know, every week, and then he told me he had so much money for rent, so much money for this and you know, then he was just about broke then, you know, but he had everything laid out pretty much there, but he, so we went in one of the
restaurants and now I can't
rent, so much money for this and you know, then he was just about broke then, you know, but he had everything laid out pretty much there, but he, so we went in one of the
restaurants and now I can't remember which restaurant, whether it was in the hotel or the little restaurant down the street, and sat and I think I just had coffee and he had his crab louie whichever restaurant was it and that's when I asked him, you know, uh, where you from and I remember it was a big town and I thought Los Angeles and uh, you know, I asked him where his relatives, you know, who, you know, his dad, mother, he said that uh, he was and that the people that b6 b7C
him were older people, they were quite a bit older, they were way up there and they never seen eye to eye on anything and they wanted him to be something else and he didn't want to be this, whatever they wanted him to be, so he just left them, he said he didn't care about them, you know, he had nothing in common with them, cause they were older people and he didn't really care about even finding his mother and dad, he had no idea who they were, and that's all I can remember right there, then
He was drawing unemployment
b6 b7C
Yeah, he,
people and he didn't really care about even finding his mother and dad, he had no idea who they were, and that's all I can remember right there, then
He was drawing unemployment
b6 b7C
Yeah, he, well that's what he told me, he was drawing unemployment out, what I gathered from the service, I was drawing because I worked, you know in the saw mills and then in the winter, and this was kind of in the winter time, towards it, I think, because I remember at the time he was different dress than we were, we were in the black leather jackets and levis like and uh he wore turtleneck sweaters a lot, and I always got the impression that he was in the air force for some reason because of the turtleneck sweaters, I don't know why, whether they're, cause I was never in the service, so I didn't, you know, know that much about the service and we never talked much about the service
And he said he was a paratrooper.
Yeah, well, that's what he said, in the service he was a paratrooper and that's what he did and I don't know how long he'd been out of the service, drawing, I always thought drawing the unemployment he much have just got out in the, in the, in with that year or something, I don't
he did and I don't know how long he'd been out of the service, drawing, I always thought drawing the unemployment he much have just got out in the, in the, in with that year or something, I don't know, uh, cause I'm not really sure if that's where he, you know that's what he told me, that's all I know is what he told me, and then we went on and uh, me and my wife went back together in the meantime, in uh,

DB Cooper-21159b6 b7C
This was the previous wife.
Yeah, a previous wife, we went back together in Dec, around December and moved back to Oregon and uh, let's see, we partied with him then and stuff and then, you know, I knew him good enough to talk to him, I liked him, he was the kind of guy that he just grew on you real, you know, he was just a good guy, as far as you know, and considerate, he was always considerate to the women and everything, but you never seen him with that many women, he went with a couple of them, but uh, uh, he was no, you know, the other type like the rest of us were,
Or a loner.
He was a little more of a loner, but reserved, but yet, would stay in the middle of us, you know, and laugh and set back and watch us a lot, and then so we come back
He was a little more of a loner, but reserved, but yet, would stay in the middle of us, you know, and laugh and set back and watch us a lot, and then so we come back in the first part of December, I come back up and that's the last time I seen him, well I've got pictures and stuff of him now, with the dates on them, in sixty-one the girl that went with him and everything, or was with him, you know, and the boyfriend, her boyfriend and then we didn't see him again until nineteen seventy-one, it was in July of nineteen seventy-one, he called from Canada, right on the border of Canada, I believe Langley and I'll tell you why I believe Langley, but uh he called and wanted to know if uh, me and my wife wanted to go to Reno with him and his girlfriend, he wasn't married, we never knew him to be married, it was his girlfriend, and we said sure, come down, so we set a date I remember and he came down right after that to pick us up in the airplane, he flew from Langley to Albany in the airplane and got a taxi, I think from the airport and came to our house on

Langley to Albany in the airplane and got a taxi, I think from the airport and came to our house on
over in south Albany, I lived there at the time and we was all in the room there getting ready to go and it was in the morning like before ten o'clock I believe somewheres in there and we had a baby-sitter, woman to baby-sit that we had gotten for the kids cause I had five kids and they were, her and women were all, you know, telling the baby-sitter what remember what to do and you know, this and that, he'd been it the bathroom and he come out and he stood in the doorway and it was one of his favorite sayings all the time, well let's get the show on the road and then he'd go oh, oh, oh, he had a voice, if he was in back of you talking, when you turned around and seen who was talking to you, you'd think that the guy was bigger than what he was, he was about five ten to five eleven, maybe six foot, he wasn't taller, much taller than I was at about the same and I was about five eleven, but he had a voice when he was excited, especially or laughing, you could really hear that deep, you know, he, he and he, you'd look at his mouth especially his mouth cause it was small, but that big a
but he had a voice when he was excited, especially or laughing, you could really hear that deep, you know, he, he and he, you'd look at his mouth especially his mouth cause it was small, but that big a voice coming out of that small mouth, I always remembered that, and when
b6 b7C
Page 3
DB Cooper-21160he called me up on the telephone from Canada, I knew' right away who it was because he had a, that much of, I thought a distinctive voice, but the other ones I've talked to said they didn't never catch it, but I, I do and uh, so like I say he said let's get this show on the road, we got in my car, went out to the Albany airport and got in the plane, he went in and filed a thing on the flight plan, I guess you call it, and we flew from there to Klammath Falls and it seems that we stopped in Klammath and ate or got a sandwich or something there, and I think he gassed up, I'm not sure, then we went from Klammath to Reno and it was starting to get dark as we was approaching Reno, that's why I thought we stopped, because we must have killed some more time cause knew that it would probably get dark around eight o'clock or something at night and he was, you know, flying the plane and uh,
I thought we stopped, because we must have killed some more time cause knew that it would probably get dark around eight o'clock or something at night and he was, you know, flying the plane and uh, like I say it was starting to get dark and he handed me the map and he said uh, something about we should pass a lake and then we should see the lights of Reno, and I looked down at the map and I said well there's a lake here but it's dried up well no, I said yeah the lakes here, and when I looked out I could see what looked to be like a lake, but it was all dried up and he thought well, then I don't know I said well it's what it looks like and, and he didn't evidently have time to you know, take his eyes off the plane of something to look at the map real good, but then all, cause that's when I thought oh my God it's getting dark and you know, there's no lake, there's no Reno, we kept a going, we kept a going, and I'm scared of heights anyway, I'm scared to death, so I remember that and then all of a sudden he had this beeper or something that went beep, beep told him to turn and I said well the map says this and he said well my beeper, I got to go by it, I said okay, do whatever you
then all of a sudden he had this beeper or something that went beep, beep told him to turn and I said well the map says this and he said well my beeper, I got to go by it, I said okay, do whatever you got to do, so we made the turn I remember and went for another five, ten minutes, nothing and then all of a sudden we seen the water, you know, real light, we could tell it was a lake, a big lake there of some kind and then we went by it and then we see the lights of Reno and that's when he got on the, on the C-B or whatever they carry in there and called in and they brought us in on radar, so we flew on in to there and it was say nine o'clock at night, somewheres in there, dark, we took the cab from the airport to Reno, we got us a room, we went up and ate, he won fifty dollars there on the dime jackpot standing in line, I remember that, and we gambled that night, probably I would say till two, three o'clock in the morning, maybe later, got up the next morning, went to the airport, got a cab went to the airport, and uh, it could have been later, cause the women were real sleepy so we could have gambled, I don't know how long we gambled but we went back to the airport, got in the
got a cab went to the airport, and uh, it could have been later, cause the women were real sleepy so we could have gambled, I don't know how long we gambled but we went back to the airport, got in the airplane, he did all his thing about the flight plan and all this, we got out on the runway and was taxying down the runway, if, at whatever miles an hour, you know just starting to taxi, he said I feel a vibration, he said do you feel a vibration I said no, let's just go, let's get
Page 4
DB Cooper-21161out of here, you know, let's get this over with, I want to get back home anyway, I said it feels fine to me and uh, so he turned to the women in the back and uh, he said do you guys feel any vibration and they said yes, it's vibrating bad back here and then he said oh, oh, oh you guys just want to go back and gamble some more, I said well let's go he said no, I got to go back and have this checked, so he turned the plane around, took it back to the wherever he took there and they run it in and had them work on it and look at it and in the meantime we went inside and I think we was gambling, I don't remember, we did something in there and come to find out it was a stuck valve and so
and had them work on it and look at it and in the meantime we went inside and I think we was gambling, I don't remember, we did something in there and come to find out it was a stuck valve and so that held us up for another couple hours and they got the stuck valve fixed and then we took off, cause I remember taking off out of Reno, going over that mountain there was big hill there or something, and we was, to me we wasn't fifty feet from over the top of that sucker, but from there seemed like we went to Redding or somewheres down around Redding and came back up, because I remember going over, well that's, anyway we stopped in Yreka, Yreka, California, we stopped there, got a cab, went to Yreka, that's where we all knew each other, see and he kind of wanted to see if there was anybody there he knew and we kind of did too, see cause we hadn't been back there in ten years, we ate and did this and that and then we went and got back in the plane and is why I know that uh, well everytime we would gas up, you know, we had to, he always stressed the point that it was hot, the hot, you know the heat was so hot, and full of gas with four people in that little bitty plane and I think it
we would gas up, you know, we had to, he always stressed the point that it was hot, the hot, you know the heat was so hot, and full of gas with four people in that little bitty plane and I think it was a sesna one twenty-five, I'm not sure, it was a small plane, just two, the people, you know pretty close in the backseat when they sat back there and when we took out of Yreka, I didn't think we was gonna make it there, because you come right to the end of runway, it was a short runway and he knew that and he knew the runway and he said you know, it looked like we might go off, you know, plop off the end, but we got, you know he had everything full power and all this gas and oh god, I was, anyway we made it and then we was flying over wherever we was flying over the rocks, what'd you say that place was where the big rocks?
Castle Craig.
b6 b7C
Castle Craig just out of Redding, cause I remember that we was right on top of them and how pretty it was and I thought man if we hit in there you know what would happen you know, and then later we flew a little further and it was all forest I remember, all trees, everywhere you could see was just trees, and I said man, I said what would you
know what would happen you know, and then later we flew a little further and it was all forest I remember, all trees, everywhere you could see was just trees, and I said man, I said what would you do if that engine quit right now, what would we do, we'd go down wouldn't we, yes, he said yeah, and he said here, he said he looked out and he said see those two big trees over there, he said uh, we'd fly right into those two big trees, shear off the wings and then we would go down, that would slow us
Page 5
DB Cooper-21162 down and then we'd fall down and you know, probably not get hurt, oh Jesus criminy, but nothing ever happened, you know, just get me home, so we flew on home and there at the airport, like I say it was getting close to evening then, it wasn't dark, but I think it was probably here it got dark around nine in, I think in July, somewhere 
When you got back to Albany.
When we got back to Albany. Uh, we got out of the plane, and I said well you guys come on, I had my car there, I said well come on to the house and we'll talk a while and then you can take off, he said no, he said uh, there's a certain area I want to fly over that I can look over
guys come on, I had my car there, I said well come on to the house and we'll talk a while and then you can take off, he said no, he said uh, there's a certain area I want to fly over that I can look over on the way back, and I you know, want to do it while it's daylight, and we shook hands and everything and he got out and they went back to, back to Canada, he lived right on the border he said, in fact when we was talking there he, I said uh, well where you know, I just started this new job, so I, you know, we was planning on going to Canada, you know, sometime and I said yeah we're gonna come up there someday, he said well come on up I live right on the road, he said the next town after you hit Canada right there, and the only one I can figure out is Langley, because that's where the airport is, that's where he flew the airplane out of, cause he says it's right on the, as you go through, he said just drop right in and you'll be right there, I mean you got to go through my town anyway where I live, right on the border, well I've never been to Canada, so I really didn't pay much attention to him, that's all I remember of that part of it, that, you know, if we come up, but then I
where I live, right on the border, well I've never been to Canada, so I really didn't pay much attention to him, that's all I remember of that part of it, that, you know, if we come up, but then I thought everything was fine, the girlfriend he had with him was real meek, real quiet, never said too much, she was in her, I would say to
b6 b7C early maybe, uh, small, built nice, uh, light, light brown hair, I would say, kind of blondish, but more kind of brown, a quiet, she was real quiet, and uh, where was I at

DB Cooper-21163 broke up and I thought man that was strange they got along good, you know, there was no arguing or fighting amongst them, you know, when we was together, of course she never said much, so I don't know what was going on between the two of them, so uh, he said him and his girlfriend had broke up and that he was in Portland and I said oh, and he said uh, is what I need to know, he said, if I come down that way, can I stay at your place a few days, I said well sure come on down, he said, well I got some business to take care of and then I'll be down and I said okay, and there was no laughing, talking, joking or that, he was really serious, you know, it was just like to me, like he was depressed, I don't know, you know, he just, cause he was the type of guy we always joked, you know, and he said I'll be down, and I said fine, yeah, you can stay here, come on down we look forward to seeing you and hung up and uh, never heard from him since, never
Never, never did show then?
you know, and he said I'll be down, and I said fine, yeah, you can stay here, come on down we look forward to seeing you and hung up and uh, never heard from him since, never
Never, never did show then?
Never showed and we lived in the same house for fifteen years.
And he was trying to think back of when he got that phone call and uh, he, he said that he had gone to work at shift and that uh, so he would have been home on the swing
Oh that's in the early afternoon.
See the thing of it was I never answer the phone in my house cause I had four girls and one boy that always answered the phone and the wife, so I never answered the phone, and the phone was never one of my things, but that day I was sitting in my chair, I remember, I, at the time, thinking about it later, I didn't know whether it was night or day, you know when it was, but I knew everybody was gone, so later I got to thinking, well it was on a Wednesday, nobody would be gone
You mean be home?
Nobody'd be home, if I and I, and I went back and figured out I was on swing shift so I'd have been sitting in that chair getting ready to go to work around, I think I went to work at three thirty, was my time and I
Nobody'd be home, if I and I, and I went back and figured out I was on swing shift so I'd have been sitting in that chair getting ready to go to work around, I think I went to work at three thirty, was my time and I always went early, so I would have been sitting there and nobody was there when the phone rang and when he called, so I was thinking, he could have even called, if that was him, he could have even called from the airport, cause in reading the stuff and everything he had an hour to kill, but I can't figure if, if he called me, why I would answer the phone in the evening on a Wednesday night and nobody'd be there, if it'd have
Page 7
DB Cooper-21164
b6 b7Cbeen on the Tuesday then it'd been different, it could have been he called on a Tuesday, that's why nobody was there, it's more likely then would have been gone then, but not Wednesday, so that's just something there, I don't know, see I can't really get the time of day he called but I know I was sitting in the chair and nobody's home.
What was his name?
Am I supposed to tell you?
It would help.
Okay, now we, I called the girlfriend that knew him and she, what she'd say his?
Am I supposed to tell you?
It would help.
Okay, now we, I called the girlfriend that knew him and she, what she'd say his?
She said either might be his middle name.
Middle name, see I never knew his middle name
But she wasn't sure.
was could be his middle name.
Go ahead.
And let's see, where was we at,
Well the reason you went in to explaining about the airplane and how well he handled it, just
Oh yeah, he knew what he was doing with airplanes.
Cause he seemed to know what he was doing
He knew everything, I mean
Do you know if the plane belonged to him or did he
No, he rented it, cause he said, I remember now I got to thinking again at the time this happened on that indicator thing, he said he was glad he didn't take this other plane because it didn't have an indicator, it just had a radio, I guess, but evidently he couldn't get radio contact with uh, Reno where he was flying right there, or something, I don't know if he even tried, but I remember him mentioning if he wouldn't have had that indicator he was glad he got the plane with the indicator in it, I remember that, because that told us to turn, so
I don't know if he even tried, but I remember him mentioning if he wouldn't have had that indicator he was glad he got the plane with the indicator in it, I remember that, because that told us to turn, so that's

You, you said you first met him in about nineteen sixty-one in Yreka?
Sixty, it was sixty.
Sixty, I mean, I'm sorry.
Sixty-one's when the pictures I got and everything. Okay. Uh, and he was unemployed supposedly? Yes.
Do you have any idea what he did during the day time when you No,
were working?
none of us know what he did.
He, he thought maybe he could have kind of been the handy man around the hotel there and pay his rent that way.
That's where he stayed at, but we don't know
But, but he's not sure, that's where'd he see him, you know.
Now he told me what he did in Langley and for some reason I, it always was in my head that he either worked in a, a mine something to do with driving a truck in a mine or a mill, I don't know, but down there he never worked in the mills, so I don't know what, it was one, something like that, down in something it seemed like, or something, he told me what he did
Do you know why he was in Yreka?
mill, I don't know, but down there he never worked in the mills, so I don't know what, it was one, something like that, down in something it seemed like, or something, he told me what he did
Do you know why he was in Yreka?
No, I have no idea.
He never talked about that? Uh-huh, (indicating "no") . okay.
Yeah, is all I know the, the picture I got of his friend here, was his good friend that she claims, they were really close, he was from Medford and she went up there once with him to meet the boyfriend, her boyfriend's uh, sister, and she members that when

DB Cooper-21166they pulled in to either Ashland or Medford, she can't remember which place it was, it was just across the border, that there was a lot of logging trucks around and that's all she, one was parked underneath of a something, and she remembers that, but she don't remember which town it was in, she just remembered the logging trucks, that's why when I asked her what he did for a living, the other guy, and she said thought he was a logger, but she wasn't sure,
Okay, who are these other people we're talking about now? b6 b7C
Okay, the quy, the other person that I got the picture of is his, friend.

Okay.
A close friend, the girl, introduced this girl to this other guy and they all three ran together there for a while, but she never went with and I asked her, I said well why didn't you ever go with and she said well he never asked me, this is what last night she told me
b6 b7C
Okay, so you have some pictures of who,
Yeah, I got pictures.
Why don't you go ahead and pull them out and tell me who they are?
Okay. Set this one up to look at, but, I had this one blown up, I could have had it blown up farther, but I didn't, cause I didn't know, I was gonna blow the face up bigger, okay, here's the girlfriend, and here's him in a swimming suit and he was an excellent swimmer.
This is here? b6 b7C Yeah, now this is the other picture of him and this is his friend. Is it okay to write on these pictures?

Oh, okay. Now I recognize it.
I, it's, see I, years ago well, I went to Yreka way after that, they were all there, kind of weird.
Yeah.
I had moved there in sixty-five.
Now, see here on the pictures I'd like to tell you, see these, his hair is high here, okay, now when he came to Yreka, when I met him, he had the shorter hair, like this on the sides and he combed it flat, I had him do this, see the the way I combed mine?
Hmm-mm.
And I was always doing that, I said hey, you want to look nice for the girls, get that pomp in it, uh
But otherwise, he, he combed it more like the sketch that they had,

Okay, this is nineteen ninety-six, why has it been so long for you guys to come forward with this, what, what's happened to make you talk about this?
Okay, what happened in the meantime
Well actually I told him to
Yeah, it was I told him it would be worth checking out
A few years, I, see like I say, I was into my job, I was a titanium welder and it was all new and we was all getting into that, in fact I was the first to start you know, help the write the book on welding titanium,
Hmm.
So I was really into my work all the time and I had five kids, never, and I mentioned to my other wife a few times, well boy you know that sounds like and finally I seen after a few years, seen the picture cause see I don't remember none of the run around airplanes looking for him, cause I was on swing, I think that's why, it was long hours a lot of time, and then I somehow got a hold of a book and seen the picture and I kept looking at it and I think man, you know, but I didn't have a picture of :
none of the run around airplanes looking for him, cause I was on swing, I think that's why, it was long hours a lot of time, and then I somehow got a hold of a book and seen the picture and I kept looking at it and I think man, you know, but I didn't have a picture of at
the time, from just what I can remember that you know, the mouth, the shape the head and and the dark eyes that he had, you know, he had the dark piercing eyes and I said god darn, you know and this, and then I read more books on it and stuff and got a little more information, but me, in the meantime me and my wife broke up and we had a, big battle and I went to California for a year and
That's how he met me.
That's how I met her and then I come back here in nineteen eighty something.

Yeah, well that's retirement. You're not working anymore anyway.
No, I'm not working.
Yeah.
And I got to talking with them down there real heavy on it and boy the more I thought, thought about it, I thought well you know, I'm retired now, I'll look into it, so, I got a hold of my, uh, I was talking to my brother and he said well, yeah, used to go with uh, his wife's uh Sister.
Sister-in-law.
Oh that's right.
So I called him and wanting to know what, my brother knew and b6 he remembered a little bit about him, he said I never really liked b70 him, of course tough, you know, he'd whip anybody into place he thought, you know he was that kind, but uh, and then I called back another day and asked uh, talked to his wife
and uh, she give me, she says well why don't you call this cause she knew her sister, that's her sister, she b6 b7C
said why don't you call and she could probably tell you something, so I called her, she said hell
well why don't you call this cause she knew her sister, that's her sister, she b6 b7C
said why don't you call and she could probably tell you something, so I called her, she said hell yeah, I got pictures of him and everything here, she took a lot of pictures at that time,

b6 b7C
so I said well send me some, I want to see, remember what that guy looked like you know, and when I got them, then I, then I said man there's you know, to me there's something, there's just too much stuff at the same time, at the same uh,
Well
Never hearing from the guy and
To your knowledge, anybody that uh, you used to run around together in your group, has anybody had any contact with him No.
since seventy-one?
See, I had heard from her family and stuff, tried to find out whatever she could of anybody that seen, cause she's still got a, uh, her mother's still in Yreka, her mother still lives there, and I said you find out what you can, if anybody seen him and she said she hasn't, nobody's, as far as she knows none of what she's come up with, that, she has more pictures, she has a picture of him out in Dwynell Lake way,
what you can, if anybody seen him and she said she hasn't, nobody's, as far as she knows none of what she's come up with, that, she has more pictures, she has a picture of him out in Dwynell Lake way, way out, she said, that man was one hell of a swimmer, that's, that much she knew about him, now, when her, okay, now this is in Los Angeles, this picture was taken in Los Angeles, those two guys and her went to Los Angeles, uh, they left Yreka and she still don't know why they went to Los Angeles, they drove clear to Los Angeles, went on this beach, that's where she took the pictures, she said they was there not over two hours and evidently was driving, the, the other guy owned the car, never had a car, was driving, they switched off you know, and said I've got to get out of here, he said there's too much
traffic down here for me, aw this and that, so they headed back, she said, I said well don't you know why you went down or what was the reason, she said no, she said, I can't think, I said was there any other people around like there might have been a drug deal or something they went down to get some drugs or something and uh, she said not
she said no, she said, I can't think, I said was there any other people around like there might have been a drug deal or something they went down to get some drugs or something and uh, she said not that she knew of, and she said there was no drinking going down, no drugs, she wasn't on, you know, there was no drugs involved, so why they went down, she still don't know.
Yeah.
She has no idea.
What's last name? b6 b7C

Okay.
If she's remarried now, but she's been in Klammath Falls for the last fifteen, twenty years.
She lives in K Falls now?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's been there.
I've got the number and uh, I've got the number in Vancouver of the girl that he went with, sister-in-law, she lives in Vancouver, I've talked to her, she can't remember much cause she was just getting a divorce from her husband and she said that, you know, she was in real bad shape, she was looking for attention and her and went together for a while and she, and the first thing she said that was a, a guy that treated her better than any guy's ever treated her
Hmm-mm.
for attention and her and went together for a while and she, and the first thing she said that was a, a guy that treated her better than any guy's ever treated her
Hmm-mm.
And then I think is what happened, that her and her husband went back together and that left hanging.
b7C Yeah.
My brother told me he said he talked to after, the day after and the sister-in-law broke up, that told my brother b6
b7C and
that they had a big fight that night and he went up there said well I think he slept with her, but anyway, he had left two cents on the table and left.
(Laughing) As a tip.
(Laughing) As a tip, now,
(Laughing) You don't know if that true's or not? No.
Okay. Is that pretty much, essentially what you wanted to talk about?
That's pretty much it, right there.
Okay, this will conclude this taped interview. The time is one twenty-four. We'll continue for a moment longer. The uh, current time is one twenty-five. Go ahead.
Page 15
DB Coopera 21172b6 b7C

Page 15
DB Coopera 21172b6 b7C
Okay, when I met there was a saying that uh, he always said that I've always said to my kids, uh, you know, joking with them and playing with them is uh, shake the hand of the man who shook the world, and I've always said that and my kids
But you learned it from him?
I learned it from him, yeah, he always said that and I, and then he'd go oh, oh, oh in that deep voice.
And, oh, and uh, he did not add that uh, the reason he always said let's get this show on the road is that he had previously ran away with the circus,
He either was in the circus when he came to town or something to do with the circus and my brother said the same thing, something about a circus, that he was travelling, he thought in a circus to get from place to place, but he had nice clothes, you know his clothes are, he always looked, looked good, he always kept himself up nice.
Okay, is that all?
I guess that's it, we'll probably remember something else.
Okay, this will conclude the tape, the time is uh, one twenty-seven.

Additionally, she believes that the person referred to as is actually in that she spoke of identical incidents as S had relayed to her about his life when he was
Also, just prior to S's death, she mentioned that S had never told her how he injured his leg. He told her that he injured it during the "big one".

By GEORGE TIBBITS Associated Press Winter
SEATTLE - It's been 25 years since he.took that big step out of a Boeing 727 at. 10,000 feet, yet tips on D.B. Cooper still trickle in, One of the most . daring', or. dumbest criminals ever remains at large, having either, flouted the . laws of society or been foiled by the ¿law of gravity.
¿
"It's still a .pending investiga- tion," says Seattle-based FBI agent Ray Lauer, who adds that the case will stay open "probably forever." The FBI.here still stores 60 vol- umes of interviews and other docu- ments telling how Cooper hijacked a jetliner, demanded and received $200,000, then jumped from the plane over the Cascade Mountains of southwestern Washington and into legend.

Ordinarily, se steer clear of endorsing charity events, but, given the current state of affairs in Haiti, this one is worthy of support.

Dear
b6 (b7c
b6 b7C 
God "has blessed us with a wonderful Christmas gift and I had to share this fantastic news with you. Food For The Poor has been promised $400,000 from a group of generous benefactors. The gift is critical because we need over one million dollars to help 50 destitute orphanages. However, in order to receive this gift, we must meet three conditions:
1) We must raise an additional $400,000 from concerned friends like you to match this gift dollar for dollar.
2) The money has to be used to help abandoned children and orphans in the Caribbean and Latin America.
3) Most importantly, we must raise all the matching funds by December 31 or we will lose this remarkable opportunity.
This is a chance for you to double the value of your gift ... and double the help you give to orphans and abandoned children this Christmas. Your gift will go twice as far to give the most helpless of God's poor children what they really need for Christmas - food, clothing and other essential items.
Your matching gift of $25 or $50 will show all of these abandoned orphans God's love and care through
over, please
DB
Your matching gift of $25 or $50 will show all of these abandoned orphans God's love and care through
over, please
DB Cooper-21254your compassion. For, when you send a gift to help them, you are really giving it back to God, who gave us the most precious gift of all - His Son, our Savior.
However, if we don't find the money to match this gift, we'll lose this opportunity. That is why I pray you will consider writing a check today so we can meet this urgent deadline.
I only wish you could personally see the beautiful faces of the children ... children like Maria at Father López's orphanage in El Salvador.
Like the other children Father Lopez cares for, Maria is a victim of El Salvador's war. Her world was a peaceful, happy place until her parents died and she lost everything.
Even now she wakes up in the middle of the night, calling out for her mother. But I told Maria how people like you help, because we are all one family in Christ, caring for each other. "Even though you lost your parents, you still have a family who cares very much about you," I said.
"Even though you lost your parents, you still have a family who cares very much about you," I said. "Just as Jesus does."
Sadly, all 50 orphanages have children who have suffered as no child ever should. Their stories are similar, as are their needs. Your gift, matched dollar for dollar, will go far in helping these orphans.
Sheldon is shy and quiet, a victim of parents who are drug addicts. His thin body needs lots of food. When he came to the Living Water orphanage in Trinidad, he was severely malnourished. And, the orphanage is down to their last bag of rice and beans.
Little Glen Roy was found in his dying mother's arms at an abandoned airport in Grenada. Roma, his new "Mom," is so poor she has only two diapers for Glen Roy. She begged me for diapers and baby food for him and the other orphans she took under her wing.

Too poor to feed her, her mother walked off, leaving Annie alone in the street. Annie is barefoot and her clothes are threadbare. She receives love at the orphanage, but little else. They can't afford decent clothing for her and the other children.
Sharlene is another child you will help through your gift. She is only five years old, but old enough to remember how she was neglected. At the Maxfield Park Home in Jamaica, her bed is a crib with peeling lead paint. There are no blankets: "No sheets.
You are such an important part of Food For The Poor, I don't know how I can help all these orphans without you. I promised the 50 orphanages food, baby blankets, diapers, clothing and shoes, sheets and other essentials they need. These poor children are so hungry and destitute that a hot, nutritious meal means more to them at Christmas than toys.
It will be a great loss to the children and the orphanages we need to help if we don't match this gift of $400,000. That's why your gift this holiday season is so crucial.
I've enclosed two Matching Gift Checks made out to Food For The Poor for two different amounts.

Remember, your gift for these poor orphans will be doubled in value through this remarkable matching gift opportunity. We'll be able to help thousands of orphans ... Maria in El Salvador ... Sheldon in Trinidad ... Glen Roy in Grenada ... Annie in Haiti ... Sharlene in Jamaica ... and many, many more.

This is your chance to make your gift double in size and give directly to those who need you the most - abandoned children and orphans of the Caribbean and Latin America. I don't want to let the children down. I know you don't want to either.
I am pleading with you, please help the orphans this Christmas.
