Artist's conception of Dan Cooper, the hijacker who bailed out of a Northwest Airlines jet with $200,000 a year ago last No- vember. (From FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin)
FBI still hunts for 'D. B. Cooper'
Northwest Orient Airline's flight 305 was enroute from Port- land to Seattle on the gray after- noon of November, 1971. A polite, soft-spoken passenger informed a stewardess he had a bomb in his briefcase. He said he would blow up the plane and its 36 passengers unless his demands were met. The stranger gave his name as Dan Cooper, later to be publicized over the world as "D. B.
He said he would blow up the plane and its 36 passengers unless his demands were met. The stranger gave his name as Dan Cooper, later to be publicized over the world as "D. B. Cooper."
There was no argument. When the plane landed at Seattle-Taco- ma airport, all passengers and two stewardesses were allowed to get off. Northwest Airlines deliv- ered $200,000 and four parachutes, and Cooper ordered the rest of the crew into the front first class sec- tion. He told them he wanted to go to Mexico City.
The plane had a rear exit, and Cooper's plans had taken this into
consideration. He ordered the pilot to fly low and at slow speed, then retired to the rear of the plane.
Somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nev., the hijacker disap- peared with his parachutes and the $200,000. Massive subsequent searches failed to find a trace of him.
If anyone sees a man answering his description they should notify the nearest FBI office. Telephone numbers are usually found on the inside of the front cover of the phone directory.
Cooper is described as 5-10 to 6 feet tall, weighing 170 to 180 pounds, having an olive complex- ion and a Latin appearance but no foreign accent.
