The F.B.L and other state and local law enforcement agcats assisted by companies of G.L's from Fort Lewis have futilly wasted many hours and thousands of tax- payers dollars looking for cooper.
So far Cooper has successfully cluded his following in the same ingenious manner that he pulled off his skyjack caper, cooly staying a safe distance away from danger.
The F.B.I. headquaters in Seattle has vowed to ser- "utinize every foot of land between the Sea-Tac airport J' Pro to turn up clues in the case.
spite rewards of 5,000 dollars by'the Medias " Fink on your Friends" programe the public has generally granted Cooper adoration and somewhat a hero status.
da anonymous interviewer from the twice weekly newspaper the 'Seattle Flag' has produced a story from a tapel interview with D.B. Cooper which is validated by the. presentation of one of Wie recordol twenty dollar bills included in the ransom money.
Cooper which is validated by the. presentation of one of Wie recordol twenty dollar bills included in the ransom money.
This story was run in the "Flag' because the inter- viewer was unable to send it to the 'Post-Intellingener' because Uicy had the 5,000 dollar rewardout for Coopers Lead also television stations would have requested a tape from which voice prints could possibile be produced. Therefore, running the story in the Flag was the only solution.
Cooper said that the witnesses description were off by about fifteen pourls and a couple of Inches. Also that the artist's impression were very poor. When asked why we was stil in Washington state he added that he felt it ; safer to hide where no one would imagine him to te rather thien to go to some place like Mexico or South America where the authoritieswould naturally expecthim to go.

He described jumping from a lot going 200 miles an hour as being cold, dark, lond, windy and scarey, very scarey!

it was a calculated risk that's why he jumped in bad weather and at night, also he waited a little longer than usual before pulling his ripcord. Adding that his -free fall was about 5,000 of the total 2,000 feet. Which was very risky doing at night
He came down about a hundred miles away from S. W. Washington contrary to the F.B.L report that he touched down near Vancouver Washington.
The first thing he did on landing was bury his chute, he was within five miles of where he had intended in an' evergreen wooded terrein. Hle credited this accuracy to luis projected calculations and his japanese watch. He wouldn't say whether he had an accomplice on the ground. He said he had lived in Seattle and had once

Che of the pilots brought out the money and the two parachutes he had ordered. A stewardess came back with the money in a canvas tog 'to where cooper was holling another stewardess as hostage in the rear of the passenger cabin.
Cooper checked out the loot, first thing and noticed that they recked of duplicating flud. Then the stewardess made two more trips out on to the run way to bring in the chutes.

Then one of the fuel trucks pulled up ... then he ord- erol the passengers off the plane, and everyone else into the cockpit .. a middle-aged, executive looking man started to push his way back through the line Into the tourist cabin. Cooper tensed up expecting the guy to try something heroic - but he had just left his briefcase on his seat and was retrieving it ..
He figured if the F.B.I. was going to make a move it would be at Sea-Tac. Everybody but the stewardess he was holding hostice and the three man crew was clear of the plane. Buzzing the cockpit he asked the caplain what dre hold-up was. Trouble with the vapor lock was the' answer. And another truck was coming. Cooper told the Captain: "Not more than one fuel truck at a time" but eventually five fuel trucks came out, only ! three of which were able to deliver. Cooper almost bley his cool, he went forward to the cockpit and told the captain it was take off time, and to take the plane to Mexico.
Cooper almost bley his cool, he went forward to the cockpit and told the captain it was take off time, and to take the plane to Mexico.
The plane was again airborn at 7:40 pm four hours and fourty two minutes after leaving Portland.
The parachutes were unacceptable so he decided to jump without a reserve chute .. he cut the extra chute up and used the strips to tic the money to his waist.
Next he took the stewardess forvard and ordered the captain to lock the door froth the Inside. Then he returned aft, closing the first class and tourist compartiments behind him.
Then he got on the intercom and told the captain to \ hold the aircraft at 7,000 feet, aud speed at 200 miles. per hour.
Last he ordered that noboly, under any circunstances, was to atlemtp to make any further contact with him. Shortly after he jumped.

Occasionally, suspects are reopened because new evidence indicates a "second look" is warranted. One suspect that received national press coverage was JOHN EMIL LIST (Suspect 203) .
LIST was considered a suspect because he became a fugitive 15 days prior to NORJAK. He matches the general description of UNSUB, also known as DAN COOPER. He killed his family partially because he was despondent over monetary problems. He served in the military and may have had airborne training.
The Newark Division advised by airtel dated 7/24/89, that a review of LIST's U.S. Army records reflect no receipt by LIST of airborne training. A review of suspect File 203 reflected that LIST's photograph has been displayed to the three victim
A review of suspect File 203 reflected that LIST's photograph has been displayed to the three victim stewardesses. All three stated that LIST was not identical to UNSUB.

There is a definite resemblance between the photo of John E. List and the artist conception of D. Cooper. It would seem that Mr. List has the type of grooming, background and intelligence that has been desdribed by witnesses in the hijacking incident. Also, Mr. List would have the motive because if 'he were killed during the hijacking, he would have nothing to lose since he had already murdered his family. It is suspected in both cases that each man has left the country.
