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

It is noted that the serial number of the $20 bill used in the Seattle "Flag" article is identical with the $20 bill recently obtained from Secret Service, who in turn obtained it from a local Seattle service station.

At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, hijacker was provided with four parachutes and $200,000.00 in $20.00 bills and a canvas bank bag.
The plane departed the Seattle-Tacoma Inter- national Airport with three crew members in the cabin and a stewardess in the rear of the plane with the hijacker. Within minutes after takeoff at 7:36 p.m., the hijacker had the stewardess show him how to lower the steps and he then ordered her to go to the first class section which she did. At 8:05 p.m., the captain was in touch with the hijacker by the intercom. This was the last communication he had with the hijacker. Just prior to this communication, the captain had a signal indicating that the stairs had been lowered. At 8:12 p.m., the captain experienced "oscillation" in the plane and thought perhaps the hijacker had departed the plane.

The intent of this change to the artist's composite is to more clearly show UNSUB's age and swarthy complexion,
A release of an interim composite (one that had not been fully evaluated by NORJAK eyewitnesses) in the December FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin makes it imperative that this final version not be released to the news media at this time.
This is the only unsolved hijacking; it should receive expeditious handling with every investigative effort expended to resolve this matter.

MONTHLY SUMMARY
Re: Seattle airtel to the Bureau, 2/7/73.
SEARCH AREA AND COURSE
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.c. Geographical Reference) which has a plotting error of plus or minus one mile. A new plotting system using a computer generated latitude and longi- cude 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 is partially outside the first area.
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.
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 arca approximately one mile by seven miles represents the area Unsub. would have landed in if his parachute did not open.

Dear Sirs:
This letter concerns the skyjacking of Flight 305 on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, by so-called D.B. Cooper. I would seriously like to offer a theory and some basic facts as to who this individual is.
Of course, I fully realize that the checking of any story requires time and resources, and that I could be completely wrong in my assumption. Nevertheless, should you decide to use my idea, and should it prove worthwhile, is there a reward still in force in this case? Thank you for your time. I await your reply.
Sincerely yours.
