On 1/6/72, the NWA 727 which was actually involved. . in the hijacking, was flown to Seattle, by for the purpose of conducting a test to see if the "pressure bump" experienced during the hijacking, was caused by some- thing leaving the aircraft.
The conclusion from that test was that the cabin pressure change occurred when the stairs were forced upward by the air pressure after the weight had been removed. according to
who was a member of the hijacked crew, and also a member of the crew when the test was performed, the occurrence was identical with the incident on the night of the hijack. Also the instrument in the cabin which reacted so violently on the night of the hijacking, also reacted the same way when the test was performed.
based on . the test flight above, then prepared a memo showing the steps by which he arrived at the best probable bail out point of the hijacker, and plotted this area on a map.

DB Cooper-24996The attached plot in ficates the envelope of possible landing points of the high jack r (HJ). It is based on the following;
-- Aircraft position from USAF rodor data from MeChord AFB furnished by
-- Probable jump fine (0411 GLIT) from en analysis of the recorded communie; tion; from the flight icletive to the cabin pressure fluctuation. Flight tests conducted on January 6 confinned that the pic. uire fluctuation almost certainly occurred at the time the HJ left the airplane.
- Wind information from 10,000' MYSL to the ground as determined by NWA
"- Hluman bady freiectorics from data furnished by The Boring Company (free fall) and NWA (parachute open condition) who is an expert para- chutist.
- Time correlation from the above USAF radar information and from the NWA communications network tope recording.
-. Airplane airspeed and altitude from the airplane's flight recorder.
- Time correlation from the above USAF radar information and from the NWA communications network tope recording.
-. Airplane airspeed and altitude from the airplane's flight recorder.
The plot is explained as follows:
1. The heavy dashed line C-D-E-S defines the airplane's probable ground track.
2. Line G-I-J-K defines the westernmost, and Line L-M-N-O the easternmost probable airplane ground tracks based on the stated position tolerance of 1.5 nautical mile of the USAF radar plot.
3. Lines A-B, H-P, and O-R are the average wind vectors between 10,000' MSL and the ground, and are the lings parallel to which the HJ would drift after the parachute had opened-
4. Line H -- S-T definos the northernmost (earliest) points over which the HJ probably . left the airplane. Line K-P-O defines the southernmost (latest) points over which the HIJ probably loft the eirplene. The north-south span of possible jump positions is a product of the radar position tolerance of L.5 mile, and the possible communication time determination tolerance of ±1 minute.
5. The area within the boundary defined by Points H-P-Q-R-O-K-J-1-H marks the extreme limits of probable landing points based on
The area within the boundary defined by Points H-P-Q-R-O-K-J-1-H marks the extreme limits of probable landing points based on the above tolerances. That is, assuming the highest probable degree of inaccuracy in aircraft position, jump time, wind vector, etc., all probable HJ landing points would lie within the area defined by this ling.
6. If it is assumed aircraft position, jump time, wind vector, and other inputs ured are all accurate (without allowance for the above stated tolerances !:
a. The HIJ's landing point would be at Point A if his 'chute did not open, or if he opened it so scon thet the high speed caused 'chute doma ?? that resulted in the equivalent of a free-fall to the groundl. (The horizontal body trajectory due to

b. If the 'chote was open ual without damage immediately after the HJ left the airplane, ho would drift with
If the 'chote was open ual without damage immediately after the HJ left the airplane, ho would drift with the wind along Line A -- B and would land at Point D. The more expert he was, the longer he would probably irce -- fall (to limit his drift with the wind). The lowest probable altitude to which he would free-follis 2000' MSL. If ha free -- fell to 2500' MEL, his landing would be at Point U.
Based on the above, the most favorable search areas, listed in their order of priority, would be as follows:
-- At Point A.
- Along Line A-B, favoring the segment between U and B.
- South of Line A -- B.
- North of Line A-B.
Inaddition to the above, the following are pertinent:
-- The landing point is more likely to be south of Line A-B, and it is more likely to be in the northwest portion of arca A-B-R-O-K-J-A than in the southeast portion thereof.
'- It is substantially less likely that the landing point is north of Line A-D. If it is, the most probable point is south of the Lowis River, and in the south west portion of the area defined by Points A-B-1-J-A.
If it is, the most probable point is south of the Lowis River, and in the south west portion of the area defined by Points A-B-1-J-A.
- It seems highly unlikely-though possible -- that the landing point is north of the Lewis River, but if it is, it is more likely to be in thesouthwest portion of the area defined by Points O-M-V-I-H-P-Q.
If there are any questions relative to the above, they should be referred to the under -. signed.

SECOND TERRAIN · SEARCH
In attempt to determine the accuracy of the first search area, the following was learned:
The first search area was calculated using a system of plotting known as "GEOREF" (i.e. Geographical Reference) which has a plotting error of plus or minus one mile. A new plotting system using a computer generated latitude and longitude has a plotting error of plus or minus 1/2 mile. Using the new system, Northwest Orient Airlines plotted a new course for the NORJAK airplane and a new search area based on the new course. The new search area based on the new course. The new search area is partially outside the first area. (See maps. )
It is felt that if Unsub's parachute opened, he is no longer in the southwest Washington area, but if his parachute did not open he would be in a corridor along the flight path. The time of jump is known, and an area approximately one mile by seven miles represents the area Unsub would have landed in if his parachute did not open.
Because some of the above corridor fell in the old or first terrain search area; only an area 2 miles by 1/2 mile was searched during the second terrain search.
Because some of the above corridor fell in the old or first terrain search area; only an area 2 miles by 1/2 mile was searched during the second terrain search.

FARRELL, February 16, 1972, it is noted that Unsub requested the following flight configuation prior to taking off from Seattle-Tacoma Airport:
Gear down
Flaps - 150 down Altitude - 10,000 feet
Aft door open and the air stairs down.
When it was explained to the hijacker that the plane could not take off with the air stairs down, he re- portedly said in a low voice, "Yes they can, but the cockpit can put it down after they get airborne."
On July 26, 1972, advised that if the hi- jacker was a member of, or had consulted with a member of. the Boeing Test Team, he would have known that the 727 could not have taken off with the air stairs down, nor would it have be been necessary since the air stairs can easily be lowered in flight.
Stewardess remarked upon being inter- viewed shortly after the hijacking, that the air stairs and the controls for the air stairs were the only functions of the aircraft that the hijacker did not seem to be fully aware of.

FIRST SKYJACKING UTILIZING PARACHUTES
In an effort to determine the origin of the D. B. COOPER hijacking (i.e. the original idea behind the skyjack plan), a review was conducted of the magazine and newspaper articles written just prior to NORJAK.
the original idea behind the skyjack plan), a review was conducted of the magazine and newspaper articles written just prior to NORJAK.
The below quoted newspaper article described the first known skyjacking in which a parachute was used by the skyjacker.
The Seattle Times, November 13, 1971:
"Calgary, Alberta - (UPI) - A masked hyjacker carrying more than 40 pounds of dynamite was knocked un- conscious today by. an Air Canada crewman wielding a fire ax. The crewman's action 3,000 feet in the air ended a six- hour hijacking which skipped back and forth over the United States - Canadian border.
"The hijacker, reported in fair condition today with a possible skull fracture, was putting on a parachute to bail out of the DC8 over Calgary when he was struck by the ax.
"The hijacker, carrying a shotgun in addition to the dynamite, took control last night of the Calgary to Montreal flight carrying 123 persons. Claiming to be a member of the Irish Republican Army, the man demanded $1.5 million and a free passage to Ireland. (A touring I.
Claiming to be a member of the Irish Republican Army, the man demanded $1.5 million and a free passage to Ireland. (A touring I.R.A. spokesman denied that the hijacker belonged to the I. R.A. )
"After landing in Great Falls, Montana, the man accepted $50,000 ransom. The plane took off, landed again at Great . Falls, and the man let the passengers to unharmed. But, he ordered the plane with its five-member crew to take off again. Indecision on the part of the hijacker led the plane back and forth across the border before he ap -. parently decided to jump.
"An Air Canada official said that as the hijacker was preparing to jump,

jumped him and came up behind him and 'let him b6 b7C
have it with a fire ax. '
"Flight 812 made its first landing at Great Falls after the hijacker had taken over 40 miles west of Winnipeg, Manitoba. There it was refueled and the $50,000 was handed to the hijacker by a policewoman. The money was raised by bankers as the plane circled the city for two hours.

The money was raised by bankers as the plane circled the city for two hours.
"The plane then took off for a scheduled stop in Regina, Saskatchewan, to let the 114 passengers aboard disembark. The plane did not land in Regina, however, but turned back and set down in Great Falls again where the passengers and three of the nine crew members were set free.
"On its . second take-off from Great Falls, Air Canada officials said the hijacker wanted to be taken to New York City before proceeding to Ireland. The man, des- cribed as 5-feet-7, dark-haired and in his 30's then decided he wanted to go to Phoenix, Arizona, but finally settled for Calgary.
"At Great Falls Airport, Gov. FORREST ANDERSON and hundreds of onlookers stood by. ANDERSON said he came to persuade the hijacker to surrender or at least release the passengers. He never saw the hijacker, however,"
The Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Calgary, Alta. - (UPI) - A masked man armed with a sawed-off shotgun and dynamite who could not make up his mind where he anted to go was knocked out by a crew member early today to end a bizarre hijacking flight on an Air Canada DC 8.

"The hijacker was captured when a crew member struck him with a fire ax as the man was bending over to put on a parachute he was carrying, Air Canada said. A local hospital reported the hijacker suffered lacerations on his head.
"The plane - originally bound from Vancouver, B. C. to Montreal - was commandeered with 127 persons aboard.
DB Cooper-25021SE 164-81
"It had flown back and forth between Canada and the United States at the orders'of the hijacker who at first said he wanted to go to Ireland. He claimed to belong to the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
"The passengers were released on the second of two stops the hijacked plane made at Great Falls, Mont.
"Just before landing here of the four- engine jet radioed that the hijacker was unconscious, Air Canada officials said. however, called for bomb disposal experts to stand by.
"Right after landing in Calgary the man was whisked away by ambulance.

"Right after landing in Calgary the man was whisked away by ambulance.
"Earlier the man had extracted $50,000 ransom for the release of the passengers and most of the crew dur- ing the second time it landed at Great Falls.
""The guy was wearing a mask and holding what appeared to be dynamite and a sawed-off shotgun,' an Air Canada spokesman said in Montreal.
"The hyjacker first demanded $1.5 million ransom and a flight to Ireland. After hijacking the plane fol- lowing a stop here; he ordered it to Great Falls where a policewoman carried two suitcases- with $50,000 to the cock- pit and they were raised by a rope 
"The hijacker then ordered the plane to fly to Regina, Sask., where he said the passengers would be released, but after a half hour, the plane returned to Great Falls and the passengers were released there.
"While the plane was on the ground in Great Falls, an unidentified FBI agent tried unsuccessfully to talk the hijacker into giving up.

"Five crewmen, including a stewardess, remained' on the plane.
"The passengers were taken by police van from the plane to the air terminal. Officers refused to let newsmen talk with them.
"Police said the hijacker warned the passengers not to talk about what happened on the four-engine aircraft or he would kill the crew. Officers said he had a transistor radio and was listening to local newscasts while the plane was on the ground.
"One passenger, a young woman, appeared distraught and was placed in a wheelchair after she was helped out of the plane.

U.S. AIR FORCE SR-71 AIRCRAFT
By communication December 3, 1971, the Sacramento Di- vision advised that Reale Air Force Base, California, had offered, free of charge to the Bureau, use of an SR-71 air- craft to photograph terrain over which the hijacked airplane had flown on its trip to Reno.
This aircraft was described as an extremely sophis- ticated aerial reconnaissance plane which would photograph a strip 20 miles wide with photographic resolution of detecting objects on the ground 2 feet square. The film strip would then be reviewed by trained and qualified U.S. Air Force personnel.
By communication February 17, 1972 the Sacramento Di-
vision advised that photographic over-flights using SR-71 aircraft were conducted on five separate occasions with no photographs obtained due to limited visibility from very high altitude. SR-71 Flights from Beale Air Force Base advised each such flight requires minimum of one week advance clearance with FAA due to sonic boom problem, specialized

Since none of the above was found when the plane was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him, or discarded some of them prior to jumping.
The above-described attache .case supposedly contained a bomb. It is believed Unsub' threw this attache case from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping, it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after 7:42 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24, 1971. The plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles during this time.
The items could possibly be lodged in thickly wooded, mountainous terrain. The search area would cover a strip of land approximately 87 miles long by one-half mile wide. It has been suggested that infrared photography might possibly indicate non-living material, such as an attache case, in a darker shade than living material, thereby enabling the case to be found using infrared high resolution photography.
Since Unsub. possibly discarded the attache case prior to jumping, he could not have buried or hidden it.
Since Unsub. possibly discarded the attache case prior to jumping, he could not have buried or hidden it. The case would have dropped directly in the flight path of the plane and could possibly be visible from the air. The length of time Unsub would have to throw the case or any other time. is limited to 33 minutes, and therefore the area covered is relatively small when compared to the entire flight path.
By communication November 9, 1972, the Norfolk Division advised that interviews were conducted. with the following individuals assigned to the Langley Air Force Base, Virginia:

It was the consensus of opinion among the three individuals above, each of whom has had considerable experience

with infrared imagery, that efforts to locate the attache case by this means would probably prove futile. The terrain, as described, would neutralize any effort, particularly if tall ' : trees and mountains are part of its makeup. Further explained was the necessity for the presence of heat which would need to be generated by the object' (attache' case) in contrast
Further explained was the necessity for the presence of heat which would need to be generated by the object' (attache' case) in contrast to the surrounding terrain for successful infrared high resolution photography. The size of the attache case provides a poor target for any type of aerial photography, including visual photography .
All three individuals interviewed continued to express their negative feelings as to the success of either of the aerial photography procedures in this particular instance.
The Alexandria Division was requested to determine the feasibility of routing a visual aerial photography training mission over the area of interest. Alexandria advised by airtel dated February 8, 1973, that
was contacted and he advised that he had made inquiny: into this matter and stated that in the event Seattle wished to have military assistance in this matter then Seattle should request the Director to submit a letter of request to the Special Assistant to: the.

Secretary of Defense, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Pentagon, Washington, D. C. 20301. In this letter the full particulars of the matter should be set forth as well as whether or not the Bureau or Department of Justice is willing to observe the additional cost if any to the Air Force. advised that he could not state positively that the request would be granted, however, advised that it was his opinion that if this were to be a reimbursable project, that it would probably receive more favorable action. However, in any event, upon receipt of the letter a conference would be held within the appropriate military organization to ascertain the feasibility of such missions and the Bureau would be properly notified.
In view of the above information no further request was made to have a visual aerial photography training mission at this time. Consideration may be given to this type of survey if new methods or monies become available.

RE NEW SUSPECT OWEN REYNOLDS
Bellflower, california, directed a letter to the Los Angeles Office and was subsequently interviewed. He advised as follows:
He is of the opinion that OWEE REYNOLDS, a person with whom he worked in the early 1950's is a good likeness to the Unknown Subject in this matter. He bases this opinion on the fact that the mouth, nose, and hairline of the artist's conception resembles those of REYNOLDS. Ne recalls REYNOLDS was once married and resided in Seattle, Washington, and had claimed to have survived three air crashes while serving in the United States Air Force during World War II.

About là years ago, in Fresno, I had some business with who mentioned that he formerly made frequent airplane trips between Reno and Portland and Seattle, and on several of these flights he became acquainted with a person, known to him as who apparently made frequent flights, knew the country "like the back of his hand, " and

Sadistic Rapist Attacks Napa Woman
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A nationwide descrip- tion has been issued' of a man without a navel who police believe raped, beat, stabbed and shot a Napa woman in a hotel here, offi- cials said.
"It's one of the more perverse and sadistic inci- dents we've had," Inspector Chris Sullivan said Wednes- day. "It was definitely set up. He already had a chain, handcuffs and tape in the.
"It's one of the more perverse and sadistic inci- dents we've had," Inspector Chris Sullivan said Wednes- day. "It was definitely set up. He already had a chain, handcuffs and tape in the. room when he brought her . there." . . .. . ..
Victim 'Mutilated' The woman, 25, is hospi- talized in stable condition. Sullivan said she was muti- lated, "her buttocks beaten
'raw" and a bullet creased her forehead.
He said she told police she accepted a shared cab ride with a man. She said when they arrived near his hotel he shoved a gun into her side and forced her to accompany him.
. The woman was assault- ed for a 22-hour period on the 19th floor of the Holi- day Inn on Kearny St., Sul- livan said.
Left Nude, Bound
The woman told police the man left Wednesday morning, saying he had to catch an airline flight. She lafer managed to reach the hallway, nude and still bound, where she was dis-
covered by a chambermaid, Sullivan said.
He said the assailant had registered under the name Henry H. Cooper of Reno, Nev. "He spoke with a west- ern twang, dressed in ex- pensive western clothes and.
Cooper of Reno, Nev. "He spoke with a west- ern twang, dressed in ex- pensive western clothes and. cowboy boots and was loaded with $100 bills.
"But the most unusual thing about him was that he didn't have a belly button," Sullivan added. "It's not im- possible, I understand, if he had surgery for a hernia as a youngster."

Re Los Angeles airtels to Seattle 11/9/73, and 11/15/73; and Portland airtel to Seattle 12/4/73. 1 1 Re Suspect:
Photos of the captioned individual were previously displayed to witnesses in this matter and he was not found identical or similar to the hijacker. He is described by associates as a blond headed, blue eyed, light to medium complexioned, Caucasian male and not Latin in appearance.
Based on the above, it would not appear he should be considered as a likely suspect, however, in view of his highly unusual activities and the results of recent extensive invest- igation at Los Angeles, it would appear investigation is warranted to postively eliminate him as a suspect in this matter and to ascertain if he is the subject of any other crimes, either Federal or local.
