So far Cooper has successfully eluded 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.L. headquaters in Seattle has vowed to scr- utinize every foot of land between the Sea-Tac airport - and Reno to turn up clues in the case.
Despite 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.
anonymous interviewer from the twice weekly newspaper the 'Seattle Flag' has produced a story from a taped interview with D.B. Cooper which is validated by the presentation of one of the recorded 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 they had the 5,000 dollar reward out for Coopers head also television stations would have requested a tape from which voice prints could possible be produced.

The area believed to be the drop zone of the subject in 1971, is described as that area in the State of Washington bounded on the morth by the Lewis River, the east by the Clark County-Skamania County line, and the Columbia River. advised the only likely river feeding the Columbia River within the above described drop zone that would be capable of moving several bundles of money or a package about 16x16x4 inches to the Columbia River would be the Washougal River. A logical time, if the money came down the Washougal, would have been during the December 2, 1977 Washougal flood when parts of the river were approximately ten feet over the normal winter flood stage.

There are several other streams that feed the Columbia River upstream from the however, due to size, or the degree of slope of the streams, it is unlikely that a small package would have made it to the Columbia.

stated that based on the three feet per second speed of the Columbia River, if a small package entered the Columbia River at Washougal, Washington, and floated in the main stream of the river to the a distance approximately thirty miles, it would take 14.7 hours.

Waterways Maintenance Branch, Navigation Division, U.S. Army Engineer District, 319 S.W. Pine, telephone was contacted regarding dredging operations on the Columbia River since November 24, 1971. The purpose of obtaining this information was to determine if it was possible that the bait money located on the beach property on the Vancouver, Washington, on February 10, 1980, could have been placed there through dredging operations on the Columbia River.
after a review of his records, advised that the only dredging operation between November 24, 1971, and the present in the vicinity of the was during August 6 through September 18, 1974. .
Material dredged from the river channel in the Columbia River was placed in several locations on or near the as well as one location across the river on the Oregon side.
The dredge material deposited at the site where the money was located came from the north half of the ship channel, which is 300 feet wide, between river mile 96 plus 38 feet and river mile 97 plus 17 feet.

The channel is maintained at 40 feet in depth and all the material above 40 feet is dredged out. The dredge "Washington" of the General Construction Company did the dredging on this project. It had a 24 inch pipe with wiper bar inside the pipe. The wiper bar keeps large objects such as rocks from passing through the pipe. stated it would be possible for a 16x16x4 inch pack- age to get through the pipe; however, it is likely that a package that size or a human body or parts thereof would

advised that he found the beach area b6 b7C in the vicinity where the money was found to be in approximately four different layers. These layers consisted of an upper sand layer, a post dredging sand layer, a clay lump (dredge) sand layer, and below that an older sand layer. The upper layer con- sisted of six inches to eight inches of reworked beach sand and is the sand which contained the fragments and bundles of the recovered money. This sand also contained soda pop cans and other debris, which were not severely damaged or rusted. The post dredging sand contained older soda pop cans, rusted nails and spikes, and other rusted artifacts, which were in a much more deteriorated condition.
The post dredging sand contained older soda pop cans, rusted nails and spikes, and other rusted artifacts, which were in a much more deteriorated condition. The clay lump (dredge) sand was a mix- ture of course sand and fragments of organic clay material, ranging from one inch to five inches in size. Based on U.S. Corps of Engineering records which reflect that they dredged the Columbia River at this site in 1974, stated this clay layer b6 b7C
in all probability, was deposited during that 1974 dredging. The older sands, which were light in color and uniform in texture and which were found below the clay lump sand, were deposited prior to the 1974 dredging.

RE: D.D. Cooper
I had the pleasure, or should I say the opportunity of talking to D.D. Cooper in Portland Oregon, in a night club, right after his celebrated Hijacking, in which he parachuted out of an airplane, and into history.
It was actually a chance meeting, but he was talking to me in a low voice about how he didint need the money, only the prestigue of knowing that the F.
It was actually a chance meeting, but he was talking to me in a low voice about how he didint need the money, only the prestigue of knowing that the F.B.I. could be had, he stated to me that the F.B.I. only respect a sharp. and wise criminal, and that the sharper you are the less crime that you do.
D.D. Cooper mentioned to me that the latest pictures of him in the paper were not accurate, and that he was going to have Plastic Surgery, his words were Cosmetic Surgery.
D.D. Cooper was the coolest man that I had ever met, he seemed so professional; He talked of pulling one more job, on the level of the great Brinks robbery, this Was to be done in Las Vegas, because he stated that few people had ever pulled off . a big heist in Las Vegas, and lived to tell about it; I replied; D.D. That's Mafia money you're talking about, and he said yeah, I know, that's what keeeps me motivated.
I'LL say one thing for D.D. he loves Tatoos, he has them all over his arms, and legs. He claims that he paid a fortune to have them did when he wes in the army.
I could go on talking about D.
He claims that he paid a fortune to have them did when he wes in the army.
I could go on talking about D.D. Cooper all day, but I must close now; For D.D. Along with Former President Richard M. Nixon are like so many other self-tortured souls who are vengeful of the F.B.I. for turning them down, when they so desperately wanted to be a member of the F.B.I. b6 b7C

Enclosures: Enclosed for the Special Project Section are two color copies of a composite sketch prepared by the Exhibits Section, Administrative Division, dated 1/2/1973, one depicting subject in dark glasses. Also enclosed is a synopsis of captioned event to include subject's physical description and age as of the date of the hijacking, 11/24/1971.
Details: Above-referenced telcalls with SSA Special Projects, has indicated that aging of these photographs should be possible. A review of the case subfile concerning this sketch has determined that the original sketches were maintained by the Exhibits Sections under Bureau file number 164-2111. These sketches, although not the first prepared by the Exhibits Section for this case, were determined to be
These sketches, although not the first prepared by the Exhibits Section for this case, were determined to be the best likeness of subject Cooper.
DOJ and the Seattle U.S. Attorney's Office have recently reaffirmed that the statute of limitations in this crime is infinite due to hijacking being a capital offense in 1971. Captioned matter remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. It is anticipated that the original sketch and aged sketch will receive nationwide media attention as several networks, including ABC and the Discovery Channel are apparently planning to once again run presentations on this case.

The color sketch prepared of Unsub in captioned case, which is marked "D" and dated 1/2/79, is considered by Exhibits Section at this date to be the best likeness obtainable from descriptive data available. The original artist's sketch, with and without sunglasses and designated as "A" sketch, was a black and white rendering of Unsub prepared immediately following hijacking. Subsequently the color sketch, with and without sunglasses, was developed and inarked as "B" sketch. Although a divergence of opinion regarding certain characteristics has appeared in descriptions given by the various witnesses, the consensus indicates that a good likeness of Unsub is shown by the artist's sketch and that the "B" sketch with the added dimension of color more accurately shows the Unsub's age and overall likeness.
In view of the numerous contacts with the witnesses who supplied the descriptive data from which the sketch was prepared and the lapse of time since they observed the hijacker, it is felt no construc- tive purpose can be served by further attempts at modification based on contact with these same witnesses.

THE CRIME
A lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight Number 305 at Portland, Oregon, on November 24, 1971.
THE CRIME
A lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight Number 305 at Portland, Oregon, on November 24, 1971. At approximately 3:22 p.m., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to a stewardess that his briefcase contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seatlte, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two of the airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which enabled the rear door of the plane to be opened during the flight. 3 - 164-81 1 - Each agent'with CIs and PCIs

She also stated that the mouth of the individual she observed on this flight did not appear quite as full, in other words, was "a older looking mouth". She indicated she would define "older mouth" as being very slightly wrinkled around the lips and not having as full an appearance in the lips.
On 12/1/72, NWA, Stewardess, who was also aboard Flight 305, stated that she believed sketch "B" is more similar to the appearance of Unknown Subject than the earlier black and white and colored sketches. She stated that in her opinion, however, the current sketch was not a vivid presentation of the appearance of Unknown Subject.' She did note that she observed the Unknown Subject from the side and never did see a full-face View of him.

In accordance with the request of the Seattle Office 8/7/72, a color artist's conception was prepared and forwarded to the Seattle Office. To date the Bureau has received no evaluation of this color sketch. Seattle's request for mats will not be further considered until the Bureau receives an evaluation by the witnesses of the color sketch.
For the information of the Seattle Office, commercial engravers charge $10 per 50 minutes plus an initial charge of $8 for a 4" x 5" plate. These mats will only reproduce in black and white. Many publishers both large and small presently use the offset printing process which does not require a mat.
The Seattle Office should promptly coordinate review of the Bureau's color sketch for the purpose of evaluation. If it is deemed advisable that the mats be prepared, resubmit your recommendation.

Bureau artist developed composite drawing of NORJAK Unsub with sunglasses based on interviews with stewardesses and On 11/27/71 stewardess while viewing original sketch prepared, commented that it was "almost 100% like him" and stated she could suggest nothing additional to make sketch a better likeness.
With reference to photo KK5-1 in the Bureau's Facial Identifica- tion Catalog, it is noted indicated on her initial interview it would bear a resemblance to Unsub if modifications were made. She selected ten additional photos as resembling various features of Unsub. This plus the comments and look-alike photos selected by stewardesses and
went into the preparation of composite drawing with sunglasses. The sketch was modified to show the eyes when additional witnesses later selected look-alike photos of the eyes.
The attempt to depict the apparent age of Unsub has proven difficult from the beginning since witnesses did not describe age lines or features that lend themselves to
The attempt to depict the apparent age of Unsub has proven difficult from the beginning since witnesses did not describe age lines or features that lend themselves to the aging process. Preparation of the drawing in color may contribute to the aging factor as well as show the complexion color. In view of more recent comments, an additional sketch in color and labeled "B" has been prepared by Exhibits Section with and without sunglasses. The "B" sketch is based on photo KK5-1 from the Catalog with changes suggested by Original Sub-K sketch previously prepared from combined descriptions of several witnesses will be retained in Bureau files.

RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION
Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section of the Facial Identification Catalogue, and a copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.
The following information is being submitted for Bureau review, and the enclosed leads are being set forth on an UACB basis:
Or 12/2/71, a key witness, insisted that the artist's conception was not a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out photograph KR5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that is him, except for the ears and hair." She explained that the person depicted in that particular photograph resembled the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo KK5-1. She was very adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception shown to her was not a good likeness of the hijacker.

A review of Birmingham file reflects that all requested investigation has been completed; however, the file has been maintained in a pending status, awaiting receipt of composite drawing of UNSUB.
To date, a composite drawing of UNSUB has not been received for circularization as set forth in Bureau airtel. This case is therefore being RUC'd.

She explained that the person depicted in that particular number photo closely resembled the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude as far from the head, and she felt that the hair line should be some lower than that on the man depicted in photo number KK5-1.

supplanted the Rojas dictatorship. As first president, from 1958 to 1962, he led his coun- try out of anarchy.
But the coalition government, intent on long-range planning, neglected grass-roots politics, and its presidential candidate, Misael Pastrana Borrero, nearly lost the 1970 elec- tion. The ex-dictator Rojas, promising jobs, land, and lower taxes, almost regained the presidency via the ballot box. The govern- ment had to exert firm measures-martial law and a curfew-to prevent urban violence by the aging general's disappointed followers.
Nevertheless, the coalition's achievements have been considerable.

Subsequently I called in Division 6,
and told him witnesses did not
see subject's eyes; they saw him only with the dark glasses. I told him with regard to witness that this witness thought the eyes were "good." This witness still maintains however, that the forehead should be slightly broader; the nose around the nostrils should be broadened and the cheeks were to flat and should be made rounder.

I told him that we had used only law enforcement personnel; that this was extremly rugged terrain and not the kind of territory you could lay off in a grid and search minutely at arm's length. He said to include in our next teletype something about the terrain.

4. He also said to include in our next teletype something about weather conditions in the drop area at the time the drop occurred.
5. He also wanted to know if we had given consideration to hiring a professional parachutist or make a simulated drop with a dummy and following it to the ground.
He also wanted to know if we had given consideration to hiring a professional parachutist or make a simulated drop with a dummy and following it to the ground. He wondered if anything could be gained by such a maneuver.
SAC b6 b7C
I pointed out to him that anything we did by way of simulating the conditions would be a very broad approximation since we didn't know exactly where the plane was, assuming that the hijacker did go out at 8:12 PM, when they felt the "oscillation", Since this would vary with such factors as wind direction; which side of the flyway the plane happened to be on at the time, etc. He said he understands this but he would like us to think about it.
