As a Northwest Orient Air- lines stewardess handled the complicated instructions of the hijacker, only other flight-crew members knew he was threatening to dyna- Inite their 727 from the sky.
A FEW" PASSENGERS worried, Most said they be-
lieved the flight captain's an- nouncement that Flight 305 was experiencing mechani- cal difficulties and had to "burn" fuel by circling over Seattle.
Actually Capt. Bill Scott was burning time while ground- personnel complied with the hijacker's orders.
Questioned after they left a questioning session con- ducted by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, passen- gers recalled their abductor:
· "A quiet guy."
"He had dark glasses." " ... kind of relaxed in his seat."
"Sort of slouched.

The Drama of Seized Plane's Stop at Seu-Tac
BY DICK CLEVER
At 5:40 p.m. The Seattle-Tacoma Airport tower radioed to Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305:
"Everything is ready for your ar- rival.".
Flight 305 had been in the air for . more than 21/2 hours, much too long for a flight from Portland to Seattle;
A calm hijacker was in control of the 80-ton Boeing 727 and he had refused to allow the plane to land un- til the money and the parachutes were at the airport.
9:45 p.m .- Flight 305 touches down at Sea-Tac.
Pilot Bill Scott radios to the tower:

Pilot Bill Scott radios to the tower:
'We will ask you to stay right there until we get coordinated with our friend in the back !!....
The hijacker apparently had spent much of the flight in a rear lavatory ' with his hostage, stewardess Tina Mucklow.
Flight 305 rolls south along runway , 16R and stops halfway down the field , about 2,000 yards west of the airport administration building.
Tower to Pilot Scott: "Do you want the runway lights on bright?"
The hijacker had expressed a de- sire to land in a lighted place, Scott had messaged earlier, "so he can see what's going on."
But now Scott replies to the tower: "No, you better turn them down."
Immediately, the thousands of lights lining the several thousand feet of runway 16R dim to a faint glim- mer.
Scott asks that a fuel truck come out on the runway first to begin fuel- (
ing operations, adding that the hi- jacker wants the plane fueled "right now."
5:50-The first fuel truck arrives at the plane.
6:05-The $200;000 demanded by the hijacker is loaded onto the plane, along with four parachutes.

6:10-The first fuel truck reports its lines are vapor-locked. The fueling toperation cannot continue. A secondl truck is called into service. L [ The hijacker is remaining in the; jrear of the plane, Scott reports.
Tower: "If you are able to talk, can you say what kind of device it is?"
Scott: "The stewardess with him said she saw some red cylinders with wires attached in a briefcase. . It's like dynamite."
With the hijacker out of earshot of , the cockpit, there follows a brief dis-
cussion between pilot and tower of the options available to the crew once the passengers are safely removed.
A Northwest Airlines ground super- visor suggests by two-way radio that : once the passengers are clear the hi- jacker be . somehow distracted so the crew can evacuate the plane "and ". leave the sonuvabitch go."

Man Hijacks Jet
to Reno, Vanishes
37 Released
Here; Ransom Of $200,000
BY DICK CLEVER
, A man who hijacked a Seattle-bound jet- "liner and collected $200,000 ransom here before releasing 35 passengers and two stewardesses had vanished by the time the plane taxied to a stop in Reno last night.
The hijacker, thought to be armed with a.
jet- "liner and collected $200,000 ransom here before releasing 35 passengers and two stewardesses had vanished by the time the plane taxied to a stop in Reno last night.
The hijacker, thought to be armed with a. dynamite bomb, picked up the money and four parachutes during a tense refuel- ing stop at Seattle-Tacoma Airport before ordering the crew of the Northwest Air- lines 727 to fly him toward Mexico by way of Reno, Nev.
He was holding a stewardess, Tina Muck- low, as a hostage in the rear of the plane.
When the plane taxied to a stop in Reno, the hijacker was not on board.
the Federal Aviation Administration said the plane stopped long enough as was taxiing toward the terminal to allow the man to escape through an emergency exit.
Sheriff's deputies with dogs began a search for him among houses surrounding the airport.
The crew of three men and the steward- ess were unharmed.
The pilot of the 727, Capt. W. "Bill" Scott, said the hijacker had locked a door between the cabin and the back compart- ment and he did not know whether the hi- jacker had parachuted during the trip.
Pilots of two Air Force planes shadow- ing the hijacked jetliner said they had seen no one jump.

THE HIJACKED JET, Flight 305, originated in Washington, D. C., and- stopped in Minneapolis; Great Falls, Mont .; Missou- la, Mont .; Spokane, and. Portland.
It was liijacked as it left: Portland for Seattle. A stew- ardess said the man gave her a note and said he had a bomb in a briefcase.

The stewardess said she saw "two red cylinders and wires" in the briefcase.
The plane landed in Seattle at 5:43 p. m. after' circling for about two hours. It Ieft Seattle - Tacoma Airport at 7:37 p. m. and took 31/2 hours. to fly to Reno.
Along with the $200,000 in ransom money obtained from' Seattle-area banks by the airline, the hijacker also was given two parachute assem-, blies, each consisting of a chest pack and back pack. Three packs were found' aboard the plane in Reno.

Jet crew doesn't

hijacker jumped @
Crew members of a North- west Orient Airlines 727 jet hijacked Wednesday said in Minneapolis today they had no idea when the hijacker parachuted from the plane, with his $200,000 ransom on a flight from Seattle to Reno.
· (However, the last commu- nication between the hijack- er and the crew was while the plane was over Clark County.

This resulted in an intensive search of the area around Woodland, See A 7.) ."We first knew that he was not aboard when we ar- rived in Reno," Capt. Wil- liam' Scott, Medicine Lake, Minn., pilot of the plane told the United Press Internation- al. He said that the hijacker said his final destination was Mexico.
"When we landed at Reno, we thought he still was aboard," Scott said. "We were trying to call him on the P. A. (public address) system. I stepped into the
cabin and asked if there were any more instructions' but there was no answer. I looked around the curtain and determined he was not there."
The curtain separates the first-class and coach com- partments on the plane. Scott said the flight crew "never left the cockpit. The flight crew never saw the man.".
A STEWARDESS, Tina Mucklow, 22, Richfield, Minm, who remained with the hijacker while the other two stewardesses and 36 pas- sengers disembarked at Seattle, said she sat with him for about four hours on his orders.

"He was not nervous. He, seemed rather nice, and he; was never cruel or nasty," she said.

Scott said one of the mostl. tense moments in the ground halt at Seattle was a delay in fueling, apparently because of a vapor lock in one of the lines.
Miss Mucklow, dicussing the time interval in which the hijacker jumped, said that "right after the, takeoff (from Seattle) he said, *Go to the cabin, pull the curtain, and don't come Back.'" She said she obeyed him.

' The' search by Federal Bu- reau of Investigation agents and sheriff's deputies is being concentrated in a five- mile corridor between Wood- land and Battle Ground, north of Vancouver.
. J. Earl Milnes, special agent in charge of the Seattle office of the F. B. I., said the area' is being searched because of the po- sition of the plane at "the last time he was known (by the crew) to be aboard."
. Milnes added: "Actually, he could be anywhere be- tween there and Reno."
!
THERE WAS an uncon- firmed report that the crew reported a slight shift in the plane's balance while over a Clark County farmland ro gion Wednesday night. „¢ Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration officials said their ra- dar could not pick up an ob- ject as small as a parachu- tist.
Two jets sent to follow the hijacked plane apparently were too far away to observe the jump. If they weren't, 'of- ficials were not saying.

The Clark County area near Portland also was sus- pect because the hijacker boarded the plane in Port- land. There: was speculation someone might have been waiting. on the ground to pick him up.
. Airline executives and the F. B. I. declined to say whether the ransom money was marked or serial num- bers were recorded.
THE HIJACKER took over the flight from Portland to Seattle Wednesday by show- ing a stewardess what he said was a bomb in a brief- case. He collected $200,000 ransom at the Seattle-Taco-
ma Airport in exchange for the plane's 36 passengers and two stewardesses.
He ordered two parachute assemblies, each consisting of a chest pack and a back pack, then demanded the back door be left open as the plane flew to Reno. When it arrived in Reno, he was gone.
A three-man flight crew and a stewardess said they. were confined to the cockpit after the plane left Seattle and did not see the hijacker jump.
IN PICKING a 727, the methodical hijacker chose one of the few commercial jets with an exit at its ex- treme rear, under the tail - one acceptable for a para- + chute jump.

Three years have passed
Sur B
since 'DIB. Cooper'
By Allen Nacheman Associated Press Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- It has been three years since the iskyjacker called Dan Cooper parachuted from a Northwest Airlines jet with $200,000 in ransom money and wrote himself into the folklore of the Pacific Northwest.
Two more and he'll be home free - if he's alive.
"The federal statute of limitations on that crime is five years," said Sidney Lezak, U.S. attorney in Portland. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Cooper is the only person ever to hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed or brought to justice.
"We know nothing more about him today than we did at 11: p.m. Wednesday, Nov.
Department of Transportation, Cooper is the only person ever to hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed or brought to justice.
"We know nothing more about him today than we did at 11: p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1971," says Julius Mattson, special agent in charge of the Portland FBI office. "I just wish we had something to go one. We don't have a thing. Just a big zero;"
These are the events of that Thanksgiving Eve as authorities reconstructed them:
A man who gave his name as Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket at Portland International Airport to Seattle aboard: Northwest Airlines flight 305 which originated in Washington, D.C.
No antihijacking measures were in operation as the 36 pas- gengers boarded the Boeing 727 for the 25-minute flight. In the air, Cooper handed stewardess Tina Mucklow a note paying he had a bomb. Following Cooper's orders, Miss Mucklow sat beside him and wrote down instructions to the pilot.

DB Cooper-22517He wanted 10,000 $20 bills to be delivered to him at Seattle in a laundry sack, along with two sets of parachutes. Otherwise, he would blow up the plane, he said.
Airline officials and FBI agents complied and Cooper allowed the passengers and two of the three stewardesses to disembark at Seattle.
Then he ordered the plane to fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200 miles.per hour, at 10,000 feet, flaps down. The crew was to stay in the cockpit.
After takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding ramp had been
After takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding ramp had been unlatched.
Nothing was heard from Cooper for about 20 minutes. At 8:10 p.m., as the plane crossed the Lewis River in southwestern Washington, Capt. William Scott thought the skyjacker was having trouble with the ramp and called back over the plane's interphone:
"Anything we can do for you?" There was no answer.
Another light flashed showing the ramp was fully extended. A few seconds later Cooper came back on the interphone: "No.'
That was the last ever heard of him.
When the plane landed in Reno, the rear ramp was down and Cooper was gone. The 21-pound sack of money was gone, One set of parachutes was gone. The skyjacker, who had carefully reclaimed his note to the stewardess, had left no fin- gerprints.
Authorities pinpointed Cooper's jump point near Woodland, Wash, The little town was transformed into a bustling command: post for a small army of newsmen, FBI agents, police and. soldiers from Ft.
Authorities pinpointed Cooper's jump point near Woodland, Wash, The little town was transformed into a bustling command: post for a small army of newsmen, FBI agents, police and. soldiers from Ft. Lewis, Wash.
With planes, helicopters, jeeps and track dogs, they combed the vast, densely wooded region northeast of Woodland.
The skyjacker had left the plane clad only in a light business suit and street shoes. He parachuted into the blackness of a raging thunderstorm, into a 200 m.p.h. wind and 7-degrees- below-zero temperatures.
He could not have survived, the police reasoned. They were simply looking for a body and a bag of money and that could wait until the spring thaw. A week later, the searchers went home.
Cooper soon became a legend. in the Northwest. A hit record- ing lauded him as a Robin Hood who beat the establishment. T-shirts bearing his name sold by the thousands.
Then, late in March 1972, 300 soldiers combed the thawing terrain for 18 days and found not a trace of Dan Cooper or his bag of money.
Mattson says the FBI is still actively searching for Cooper, "I just wish we had a development, something to go on," he says.

Four-legged namesake of D. B. Cooper at 'Acres
By BETTY HOPPER RENTON -- (AP) - D. B. Cooper is alive and well and running at Longacres Race Track, where his bag is full of oats instead of caslı.
The four-legged D. B. Cooper was named after the man who used that name before he hijacked a North- west Airlines plane and par- achuted into the Thanksgiv- ing. Eve darkness with $200,000 ransom two years ago and disappeared.
How did they become con- nected? There by hangs a tale . . . or perhaps a tail.
ACCORDING TO D. B.'S owner, Joe Shabaz, the colt was foaled about the time. D. B. parachuted, possibly in the area of the Shabaz ranch, near LaCenter in southwest, Washington.
Law-enforcement agen- cies and military teams
searched the area for weeks. The helicopters. swooping low over the farmlands, and the constant ground parties engraved the name of D. B. Cooper on the minds of the residents.
swooping low over the farmlands, and the constant ground parties engraved the name of D. B. Cooper on the minds of the residents.
"We got to thinking," says Shabaz. "We were trying to get a name for this guy. He was always an active little colt that was al- ways jumping here and jumping there, always all over the place. So one of the hands said, 'Why don't we call him D. B. Cooper? If he had a parachute, he'd probably try to bail out of something.'
"So we named him D. B. 'Cooper, and when the wife sent the name in, the Jock- ey Club wrote back and wanted to know if we'd get permission from D. B. Cooper to use his name.
"She explained to them that he was a hijacker of an airplane and she didn't think there'd be any reper- cussions from him about us- ing his name, so they ap- proved D. B. Cooper and that's how we would up with that name for him.
"I doubt if he's ever going to be a big horse, but he's a .nice, good-looking colt and he's got a good. body on him. If he just runs a little bit that's good enough for me.
"I'm not out to make a killing.
body on him. If he just runs a little bit that's good enough for me.
"I'm not out to make a killing. It's just a lot of fun, although not a very luera- tivo-operation with the' price of hay and grain these days."
So far, D. B. hasn't tested his legs competitivoly He's been setting used to the changes from farm life to racing life, the difference in food, the noise of the start- ing gate, the sounds of the crowd, but Shabaz says he expects to start racing the 2-year-old next month.
Shabaz, who races nine horses, says his wife does all the . naming. "She gets the good names but I can't get the run out of them so there's something wrong somewhere. But maybe D. B. Cooper will do the the running for us." ? A police sketch of the oth- er D. B. hangs besidle his stall to spur him on.

Cooper Bill List Creates 'Unusual Interest' In $20s
Banks in the Portland area are reporting an "unusual interest" in $20 bilis.
They believe the demand for the bills is the result of the decision of The Journal to publish the numbers of all the $20 bills included
They believe the demand for the bills is the result of the decision of The Journal to publish the numbers of all the $20 bills included in $200,000 extorted by airline hijacker D. B. Cooper two years ago.
A man calling himself Coop- er extorted the money from Northwest Orient Airlines, then apparently bailed out of a skyjacked plane over Southwestern .Washington.
John Kodel of First National Bank said all of the tellers. of the bank's Head Office
branch had been asked to change money into $20 bills by persons hoping to cash in on The Journal's offer to pay $1,000 to the person bringing in the first $20 bill from Cooper's haul.
The money may also be turned in to any office of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion.
Kodelsaid fairly large sums of money were being exchanged for $20 bills, many by people carrying copies of The Journal's list- ings.
The largest sum was brought in by a man who laid five $100 bills on the
counter , and asked for $20 bills in return," said Kodel,
One woman wrote The Journal from Orlando, Fla., saying that she had asked for her Social Security pay- ment in $20 bilis.

For two years, the FBI has combed the woods for a clue to the location of the airline hijacker who called himself Dan Cooper and of the $200,000 he extorted from Northwest Orient Airlines.
"We've never stopped looking for the man or the money or both," J. Earl Milne, agent in charge of the Seattle office of the FBI, in- formed The Journal Tuesday in thanking the newspaper for publishing the serial numbers of the missing $20 bills.
The baffling Cooper case falls under the jurisdiction of the Seattle FBI office be- cause the actual extortion of the money occurred in Seat- tle, although the crime had its beginning in Portland.
"Leads continually are being received and we check them out," Milne said.
"But I. would like to add my continued plea for people to look for the missing bills. If we could recover just one of those $20 bills, it would put us far ahead of where we have been."
The Journal is offering $1,000 for the first of the missing bills to be turned in either to the newspaper or to any office of the FBI. Au- thenticity of the bill as a part of the Cooper ransom money will be verified by the FBI and then The Journal will pay the $1,000 to the per- son who had it.
Au- thenticity of the bill as a part of the Cooper ransom money will be verified by the FBI and then The Journal will pay the $1,000 to the per- son who had it.
The reward offer has af- tracted attention across the nation. Inquiries about it have been received by the newspaper from as far away as Virginia, New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii.
" Reproduction of the FBI's official 34-page booklet of the 10,000 "Cooper cash" serial numbers was started in The Journal Thanksgiving Day and will be continued in installments. ' Persons who cannot easily obtain copies of the newspaper could in- quire at the FBI office near- est their home cities as to whether they could obtain or inspect a copy of the FBI's list,
Since making the reward offer, The Journal has re ferred to the FBI informal tion coming to it on the find- ing of part of a parachute at the 6,700-foot level on the northeast slope of Mt. Hood.
The find was recent and may have no connection with the Cooper case, but Julius Mattson, agent in charge of the Portland office of the FBI, said a part of the find is being sent to Seattle for comparison with what is known about the four para- chutes
no connection with the Cooper case, but Julius Mattson, agent in charge of the Portland office of the FBI, said a part of the find is being sent to Seattle for comparison with what is known about the four para- chutes delivered to the hi- jacker. The parachutes and the money were delivered to "Cooper" as ransom for the passengers and some crew members of the jet he com- mandeered out of Portland.
Milne said the compostte" picture of the hijacker pub- lished on Page 1 of this edi- tion of The Journal "is the best likeness we have ever had of the man."
The hijacker bought a tick- et to Seattle, giving the name Dan Cooper, about an hour before he boarded NWA flight 305 at Portland Inter- national Airport on Thanks- giving Eve, 1971. He hand- ed his demand note to a stewardess, displayed what appeared to be a dynamite bomb in the briefcase he car- ried, and warned, "No fun- ny stuff."
The crew cautioned against intervention from, law enforcement people for fear the hijacker would car- ry out his threat. The jet! spent several hours on the ground at Seattle while the money was rounded up. Then the passengers and all but a skeleton crew were released and the 737 took off toward Reno.
spent several hours on the ground at Seattle while the money was rounded up. Then the passengers and all but a skeleton crew were released and the 737 took off toward Reno.
The hijacker disappeared from the jetliner after the rear stairway was lowered in flight. So did the money.
Cooper spoke in a low voice and intelligently. There was no particular ac- cent, according to the wit- nesses, although possibly he spoke as someone from the mid-West section of the Unit- ed States.
He smoked Raleigh filter- tipped cigarets. He was dressed in a black or brown suit, narrow black tie, white shirt, black rain-type over- coat or topcoat and brown shoes. He carried a dark briefcase and a paper bag.
During part of the flight, he put on dark wrap-around sunglasses with dark frames.
He was thought to be in his mid-40s, 5 feet 10 to 6 feet, 170 to 180 pounds and had an olive or Latin appearance. He parted his dark hair on the left and combed it back.

He extorted $200,000 from the airline that night as ran- som" for the release of the passengers and some of the crew of the jet he originally hijacked just after it left Portland for Seattle.
To date, neither Cooper nor the money has shown up. The Journal fast Nov. . 22 offered to pay $1,000 for the first of the missing $20 bills to be turned in to the news- paper or to any FBI office in the nation. The offer trig- gered requests from all parts of the country, by telephone and letter, for copies of the list of serial numbers that the newspaper has been pub- 'lishing in installments.
In checking bills in their possession, many peopleil have come close to matching them with the serial num- bers of the missing currency, but so far none of the money Cooper took has been re- covered.
Many readers have pre- pared their own booklets from the newspaper listings and with this edition those readers will have complete copies of the official docu- ment prepared by the FBI and heretofore distributed mainly to financial institu- tions.

For perhaps the first time, most people in the Portland area know whose picture is on a $20 biff.
That's because they have been checking serial num- bers on bills in their posses- sion against the list of serial numbers being published
That's because they have been checking serial num- bers on bills in their posses- sion against the list of serial numbers being published in The Journal of the $20 bills extorted from Northwest Ori- ent Airlines in the $200,000 "D.B. Cooper" hijack of 1971.
The newspaper will pay $1,000 for the first of the "Cooper cash" to be turned in either to the newspaper or to the FBI.
Publication of the 10,000 serial numbers began in last Thursday's Journal and will be continued in installments until the entire list is repro- duced for the newspaper's readers from the official FBI list.
The fate of the man who bought a ticket at Portland under the name "Dan Coop- er" and then parachuted into the night with money he ex- torted from the airline is a baffling mystery. Not so baf- fling is what happened to those who thought Cooper's road to riches worth trying.

B. I. special agent, said yesterday the robbery suspect, Arvidis J. Kiperts, 41, of Vancouver, Wash., was not the man who called himself Cooper in the hi- jacking of the Northwest Airlines jetliner.
The agent said Cooper was de- scribed asthin but Kiperts is storky. He added that witnesses. to the hijacking looked at a picture of Kiperts and said he was not Cooper. ' The F. B. I. said it had conclusive
evidence that Kiperts was some- where else at the time of the plane hijacking.
Kiperts was arrested in San Diego Monday night on an Oregon bank -. robbery charge and is a suspect in a second bank robbery in Oregon in which the holdup man doodled the name D. B. Cooper on a bank-depos- it slip.
A man who called himself D. B. Cooper hijacked the plane between Portland and Seattle on Thanksgiv- ing Eve, '1971, and demanded the ransom and four parachutes. He bailed out of the plane belween Seattle and Reno and disappeared.
Kiperts is being held in liju of $150,000 bail and is scheduled fo ap -: pear before a United States magis- trate in San Diego November 19.

DB Cooper-22544 Skyjacked $20 Report May Be Secret
By ROLLA J. CRICK Journal Staff Writer
The Journal is making its "Secret Witness" plan avail- able for use in helping re- cover the "Cooper cash," the $200,000 that disappeared the night of Nov. 24, 1971, with the parachuting hijacker popularly known as D. B. Cooper.
The plan can be used with or separate from the news- paper's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in that can be verified by the FBI to be part of the
The plan can be used with or separate from the news- paper's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in that can be verified by the FBI to be part of the money Cooper obtained from Northwest Orient Airlines prior to jumping from a jet- liner he had commandeered. It can be used to return the money, enter into negotia- tions for its return or to pro- vide information on the whereabouts of the elusive hijacker.
The "Secret Witness" plan will enable someone with one or more of the missing bills to surrender the money and still keep his or her identity secret.
Here is how to use the plan:
1. Place the money in a place of your choosing and write down instructions for locating it.
2. Do not sign your name, but on Roth lower corners of the first page write a code, using any combination of
numbers and letters.
3. Tear off one of the cor- pers, making a jagged tear. Keep the torn off corner bearing your code and mail the report containing the du- plicate code to "Secret Wit- ness," The Journal, 1320 SW Broadway, Portland, Ore. 97201.

Jy to the Secret Witness plan coordinator at The Journal. If the codes and torn edges match, your agent will be given the $1,000 for the first $20 of the "Cooper cash" to be turned in.
The procedure listed in points 1, 2 and 3 can be fol- lowed for supplying informa- tion about what has hap- pened to Cooper.
Julius Mattson, agent in charge of the Portland office of the FBI, says he can visu- alize situations where people with the money might be willing to turn it in, but do not wish it to become known that they have the money.
"Suppose someone had found the money and has been holding onto it afraid to turn it in, or has even
"Suppose someone had found the money and has been holding onto it afraid to turn it in, or has even spent some of it and then become afraid of the consequences; such a person might wel- come the 'Secret Witness' opportunity," Mattson add- ed.
There has long been specu- lation that the hijacker per- ished in his nocturnal leap from the jetliner and that some day a hunter or hiker would find his body of the money somewhere along the flight path of the aircraft be- tween Seattle and Reno. It is this possibility to which Mattson refers.

Skyjacker Cooper: still a folk hero, still a mystery
( PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Two years after parachuting from a Northwest Airlines jet with $200,000 in ransom money, the skyjacker known us Dan Cooper remains a folk hero and a mystery.
He is, according to the U.S. Department of Trans. portation, the only person ever to hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed or brought to
portation, the only person ever to hijack a domestic airliner who has not been killed or brought to justice.
"We really know nothing more about him today than we did at 11 pm. Wednesday. Nov. 24, 1971," says Julltis Mattson, special agent in charge of the Portland FBI of- ffcc.
Authorities said this is what happened on that Thanksgiv- ing Eve:
A man who gave his name as Dan Cooper bought a one. way ticket at Portland Inter- national Airport to Seattic aboard Northwest Airlines' Flight 305 which originaled in Washington, D.C.
No antibljacking measures were in operation as the 36 passengers boarded the Boeing 727 for the 25-minute flight.
Once in the air, Cooper 1 handed stewardess Tina Mucklow a nole saying he had a bomb. Following Cooper's orders, Miss Mucklow sat be- side the skyjacker and wrote flown instructions to the pilet.

Cooper As passengers remembered him
HE WANTED 10,000 $20 bills to be delivered to him at Sealtle in a Jaundry sack, along with two sets of para- chutes. Otherwise he threat- ened to blow up the plane.
Airline officials and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents complied with his requests and Cooper allowed the pas- sengets and two of the Three stewardesses to disembark at Scottie,
Then he ordered the plane to fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200 miles per hour, at 10,000 feet. flops down. The crew was to stay in the cockpit.
Alter takeoff from Seattle, a red light flashed in the cockpit indicating the plane's rear boarding ramp had been un. latched.
Nothing was heard from Cooper for about 20 minutes. At 8:10 p.m., as the plane
crossed the Lewis River in southwestern Washington. Capt. William Scott thought the hijacker was having trouble with the ramp and called back over the plane's interphone:
"Anything we can do for you?"
There was no answer.
ANOTHER LIGHT flashed showing the ramp was fully extended. A few seconds later the hijacker came back on the interphone: "No.
ANOTHER LIGHT flashed showing the ramp was fully extended. A few seconds later the hijacker came back on the interphone: "No."
That was the last ever heard of him.
When the plane landed in Reno, the rear ramp was down and Cooper was gone, The 21- pound sack of money was gone. One set of parachutes was gone. The skyjacker, who had carefully reclaimed his hate to the stewardess, had left no fingerprints.
Authorities believed Cooper jumped from the plane near Woodland, Wash. The town was transformed Into a bus- tling command post for a small army of newsmen and dozens of FBI agents, police and soldiers from Ft. Lewis.
With planes, helicopters. Jeeps and track dogs, they combed the vast, densely wooded region northeast of Woodland. Much of it was rug- ged terrain, thick with freshly

The hijacker left the plane clad only in a light business suit and street shoes. He para- chuted into the blackness of a. raging thunderstorm, into a 200 m.p.h. hour wind and tem- peratures of minus 7 degrees.
WE COULD NOT have sur- vived, police reasoned. They said they were simply looking for a body and a bag of money and that could wait until the spring thaw. A week later the any of searchers was dis- bandled.
In the ensuing months Coo-
per. became a legend in the Northwest - pictured as a lone Robin Hood who stole from a giant corporation, hurt no one and got away. A song extolling his feat became a hit. "D. B. Cooper, Where Are You?" Tee shirts sold by the thousands.
The media had erroneously identified the skyjacker as D. B. rather than Dan Cooper.
Then, late in March 1972, 300 soldiers from Ft. Lewis searched the thawing terrain for 18 days. They found not a. trace of Cooper, "although we did find a body and cleared up a local murder," says FBI

"We investigated every re- port and so far have proved that the various men reported to be Cooper could not have been the man on Flight 305," Mattson says.
"WE HAVE NO physical evidence to go on except the $20 bills," he said, adding the numbers of all 10,000 bills were circulated to banks in a 34-page booklet. None has turned up.
Northwest Airlines, which
offered a $25,000 reward for recovery of .the ransom, has canceled the offer.
But last week, on the second anniversary of the hijacking, the Oregon Journal newspaper offered $1,000 to anyone who could produce one of the $20. bills. There have been no tak- ers.
Mattson, says a number of FBI agents have worked on the case, to no avail.

$1,000 For Hijacked $20 Bill Offer Stands

"Identity and whereabouts unknown; money not re- covered,"
Those seven words sum up what has so far been an ex- ercise in futility: the com- bined. efforts of law enforce- ment to mark finis to the so-called "D. B. Cooper ca -. per," the aircraft hijack that changed commercial air travel for everyone.
They also account, in part, for The Journal's offer to pay $1,000 for $20, providing that Twenty can be verified to be part of the $200,000 that the man known as Cooper extorted from Northwest Ori- ent Airlines in an act of air piracy that began at Port- land on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971.
The Journal will pay $1,000 to the first person who brings in one of the 10,000-$20 bills given to Cooper that
rainy November night in ransom for the Freedom of the passengers and some of the crew of the 727 jetliner he commandeered with a threat to explode a bomb. The money may be brought either to The Journal of to
any FBI field office in the nation or any law enforce- ment agency and The Jour- nal will pay the $1,000 when the FBI verifies that the bill is one of those Cooper had in his possession when he para- chuted from the jetliner somewhere
or any law enforce- ment agency and The Jour- nal will pay the $1,000 when the FBI verifies that the bill is one of those Cooper had in his possession when he para- chuted from the jetliner somewhere between Seattle and Reno.
What Cooper did had re- percussions no one foresaw at the time. Because it was never really determined what happened to him and. the money, a round of sky- jackings was touched off in the U.S. and overseas, some resulting in loss of life, and now everyone boarding a commercial airliner is sub- ject to some kind of. screen- ing process in a search for weapons,
The so-called "sterile con- course" concept is in force

Those seven words sum up what has so far been an ex- ercise in futility: The com- bined efforts of law enforce- ment to mark finis to the so-called "D: B. Cooper ca- per,", the aircraft hijack that changed commercial air travel for everyone.
They also account, in part, for The Journal's offer to pay $1,000 for $20, providing the twenty can be verified to be part of the $200,000 that the man' known as Cooper extorted from Northwest Ori- ent Airlines in an act of air piracy' that began at Port- land on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971.
The Journal will pay $1,000 to the first person who brings in one of the 10,000 $20 bills given to Cooper that rainy November night in ransom for the freedom of the passengers and some of the crew of the 727 jetliner
he commandeered with a threat to explode a bomb .. The money may be brought) either to The Journal 'or tol any FBI field office in thel nation or any law enforce- ment agency and The Jour- nal will pay the $1,000 when the FBI verifies that the bill "is one of those Cooper had in his possession when he para- chuted from the jetliner somewhere between Seattle and Reno.

What Cooper did had re- percussions no one foresaw at the time. Because it was never really .determined · what happened to him and. the money, a round of sky- jackings was touched off in the U.S. and overseas, some resulting in loss of life, and now everyone boarding a commercial airliner is sub- ject to some kind of screen- ing process in a search for weapons. IL
The so-called -"sterile con- fcourse" concept is in force at airports from Portland, Ore., to Portland, Me., and from Seattle to Miami whereby no .one enters an aircraft boarding area with- out screening.
It has worked, for there have been no hijackings in. the U.S. since August, 1972.
Meanwhile, only Cooper- if he did not die in his leap from the jet with the money -was successful among the - skyjackers and attempted hi- jackers of U.S. aircraft in the past 24 months.

Winner Of D.B. Cooper $20 Bill Hunt
Gets $1,000
Are you checking the seff- al numbers of the $20 bills in your possession against the list being published in The Journal of bills given to the aircraft hijacker identified as D.B. or Dan Cooper?
It's: a fascinating game which could pay you $1,000 for one of the Cooper 20s and could result in solution .of one of law enforcement's most baffling cases.
Cliecking serial numbers has resulted in solution of two Pacific Northwest crimes in the past decade, according to files of the FBI.
The Bank of California in Tacoma,' Wash,, was robbed Feb. 14, 1966 of $9,850 and the amount inchided 10 $20 ,bills that could be identified by serial number.
14, 1966 of $9,850 and the amount inchided 10 $20 ,bills that could be identified by serial number.
. Numbers of the bills wete circularized by Tacoma po- flics in shopping centers and; a few days later a man was arrested after he passed tivo bills identifiable as part of the bank robbery money.
He said he stole the money from a parked car, but in subsequent investigation he + and two other men were im- L plicated in the bank robbery . and each was later . sen- tenced to prison.
The second case had thrill- ing overtones and involved the leaving of $25,000 at a specified site in Anchorage,
Alaska, in answer to a de- mand from a man who tele- phoned an airline that "a crooked egg" (bomb) was aboard a Seattle-bound, jet- liner and would explode when the plane descended to 10,000 feet.
; The jet had. 118 passen* gers, including 72 children, and.9 crew members aboard. Under those conditions, the airline arranged for the mon- ey to be delivered to the des- ignated site and then await- ed a call to describe the hid- ing place of the bomb and how to disarm it.
Under those conditions, the airline arranged for the mon- ey to be delivered to the des- ignated site and then await- ed a call to describe the hid- ing place of the bomb and how to disarm it.
The call- never came and eventually the jet had to land after five tension-filled hours and did sg at Seattle with people praying and holding their breath, There was no bomb.
But in the bundle of bills making up the $25,000 was a number of bills in which the serial numbers had been re -; corded and these numbers: were distributed to airlines, banks, savings and loan as- sociations, car rental compa- nies, hotels, finance compa- nies, grocery stores and oth- er places.
The "extortion ' occurred Aug. 11, 1970. In mid-Sep- tember one of the identifia- Ble blUs turned up in a bank. FBI agents traced the bill to an apartment house manag- er, 'then to a renter of an apartment and finally to an- other bank. Eventually it was determined that a man
who had paid cash for rent- ing a car on Aug. 12 had lived in the area of the pay- off site, all because of the one bill that turned up.
Still later, the Klamath Falls Police Department in- quired about a man who had arrived in, that city with a
Still later, the Klamath Falls Police Department in- quired about a man who had arrived in, that city with a large amount of money and had paid off his wife's debts. FBI agents based in Port- land determined that the man had been a big spender while in Oregon, giving his wife . $1,400, his mother-in- law $400, paying $100 to a bar owner for loss of a bar- maid for one night, buying two cars and spending $500 to $1,000 per evening buying drinks for customers in a bar,
-Sept. 20,1070, the FBI ar-( -rested a - West German clti -!! zen in Portland and he ad- mitted making the hoax call's to the airline. He later that year was sentenced to five years' in the custody of the attorney general of the Unit- Red States on a charge of im- parting or conveying false information.
Checking the $20 bills in your possession against those in the so-called Cooper caper might result in solu- tion of that case also. The Journal is publishing. the serial numbers in install- ments (some are at left) and will publish more of them over the next sever- al days until the complete list has been made available to

The offer is made with the concurrence of the FBI that obtaining any of the missing money would be a substan-
tial ald to the two-yeo ing investigation of the xjon's most celebrated aise hi- jacking.
It is also made \ the be- lief that if any of ie money is in circulation that fact can be establicd by alert readers who c'Ck the serial
numbers on $20 bills in their bosse sion.
The man known as Cooper demanded and obtained $200,000 In $20 bills, plus four parachutes, and disappeared into the rain-spattered night somewhere between Seattle and Rono from the 727 he had commandeered at Port- land International Airport. Neither he nor the money have appeared since, but there is a chance that almost anyone by now may have come into possession of one of the bills.
To assist In the search for the money, The Journal is publishing on page 31 the serial numbers of some of the missing twenties and will publish more of the list on succeeding days, Serial. num- bers of the bills that were delivered to Cooper were re- corded before the delivery was made.

tion by the FBI shortly after the hijacking.

A flight recorder indicated that the rear door of the 727 was opened shortly after takeoff and it was assumed that Cooper had parachuted about then.

ma, Wash., supper club. Shoi was in Astoria when the hi- jack occurred and the name D.B. : Cooper was on every- one's lips.
Whether . prophetically or' 'not, 'she wrote lyrics and mu- sic within two weeks of the incident and indicated that Cooper died hanging in a tree. in the shrouds of a para- chute while his stolen money drifted to the ground.
The song further empha- sized the D.B. Cooper name in the minds of the public ing
those first weeks as the" isearch for the hijacker tranged from Seattle to Reno ... it enjoyed another briefj round of popularity a year" ago when FBI agents and . Army troops from Ft. Lewis, Wash., combed the woods of Cowlitz County.

Ironically, though, D.B. Cooper, is the wrong name. Somehow in the first hours after the hijack the name. . D.B. Cooper cropped up and , stuck. It may have been be- cause the FBI was checking on an individual whose name really was D.B. Cooper, but he was in jail at the time of the hijack.
When the hijacker bought his Portland to Seattle ticket in Portland, he gave the name Dan Cooper. The FBI now officially identifies the man they want as Dan Coop- er. That name was obtained by a process of elimination as the only passenger left on the 727 jetliner in Seattle af- ter the hijacker Iet the oth- er passengers go.
Curiously, there ' was a E bona fide Cooper who got off the still-to-be-hijacked! plane at Portland, The FBI investigated him and deter- mined that he had not flown . on to Seattle and thus could not be the hijacker. His first name was not Dan; it was Michael.
Dan Cooper was not the right name for the hijacker in any case, the FBI be- lieves. : But whether Dan or"D.B. or Rumpelstiltskin Cooper, - the FBI would like to talk to him, if he is the hijacker.

Could D.B. Cooper Be In Kansas?
Is D. B. Cooper alive and well in Kansas?
A Wichita resident who heard of The Journal's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in from the $200,000 the man known as Cooper disappeared with two years ago raised that issue in a letter to the newspaper.

He wrote that about the time The Journal began its search for the missing bills a Wichita television station re-
ported that a man who would not give his name was .pass- ing out $20 bills to motorists on a turnpike. He reportedly was rewarding motorists who were driving at 50 miles per hour.
"After reading about Mr. Cooper I got to wondering could he possibly be doing
something like this to get rid of- the money?" .wrote the Wichita resident.
Whatever happened to the money the hijacker Cooper got, none of it has so far sur- faced, not even in Kansas and not even with The Jour- nal's continuing reward of- fer.

Tape Story Challenged
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Experts familiar with the re- corder involved say Rose Mary Woods' version of huw a key White House tape was crased describes an accident that is either technically im- possible or highly unlikely.
One of Nixon's Watergate tapes-marred with whistles, hums and garbled noises - was played for the first time in public Tuesday in the court of Federal Judge John J. Sirica,
The tape contained conver- sations Nixon had with his former key aides, John D. Ehrlichman and H.R. Halde- man, on June 20, 1972. The judge ordered it played to try to determine if the re- refres had been altered in nhy way.
Stica granted phim sutul's request The Mis, Winds' typewriter and lamp be brought to court for sale- keeping. He balked at a suggestion from ber attorney that all her office furniture be brought in.
Several representatives of the communications industry challenged Miss Woods' ac- count of how the tape was erased.
The Los Angeles Times questioned technicians and executives in the audio in- dustry, who deal with the Cher 5000.
The Los Angeles Times questioned technicians and executives in the audio in- dustry, who deal with the Cher 5000.
Miss Woods, President. Nixon's secretary, told a ted- eral judge that she had acel- dentally punched the "re- cord" key instead of the "stop" key while transcrib-
ing from the tape, but kept her foot down on a pedal control that allows secreta- ries to control the tape by foot movements while typ- ing. That forced the tape through with the recording head activated, she said, erasing the recording of the first mucting between Presi- dent Nixon and H. R. Halde- man after the Watergate break-in.
A mysterious is-minute "hunt" apparently is all that rumions of the conversation Nixon had with Haldeman on June 20, 1072.

"i don't believe that can be done," said George Mun- yan, service manager for Magnetic TVI Corp., a firm selling the German-made Uher, after hearing Miss Woods' explanation.
Carl Bennett, service man- ager for Martell Electronics cf Los Angeles, the chief U.S. Importer of Uher ma- chinos, said the mistake de- scribed by Miss Woods was theoretically possible, but the chances she would make auch a mistake "are very,
very low because of the way it (the recorder) is de- signed." He said there "is no reason at all" for any com- petent secretary to make such an error.
Frank Larkin of Audio Vi- deo Craft, Inc., who has sold Uher recorders for many years, said "It's not some- things a person conid do acet- dentally. They make it very difficult to put the machine in the erase pusicon just so people won't accidentally wase their recordings."
Bennett noted that the crased portion was described as containing a hummag sound.

Bennett noted that the crased portion was described as containing a hummag sound. Thor puzzled him, he said, because if the tape had hoen erased by the Chur's nun recording head "there shouldn't be anything but a spht hissing noise.'
The technicians said the humming noise might have resulted if a microphone had been plugged into the record- ing circuit at the time Miss Woods says It was acciden- tally switched on, but then the mike should have picked up external sounds, such as a telephone call.
William Lindsey, a sules- man for Magnetic TVI, said he doubted that the accident described by Miss Woods could have happened that way because features de- signed into the machine, pre- choly to prevent such accs- dents, would have stopped her.

FBI man vows to hunt down ® America's parachute skyjacker
By BARRIE WATTS
AN FBI man has sworn he will never stop trying to solve . one of America's most bat- fling mysteries-where is sky pirate D.B. Cooper?
Cooper, whose real identity has never been discovered, is believed to have parachuted from .a hi- jacked Northwest Airlines Boeing 727, $200,000 in ransom strapped to his body, as it flew over rugged terrain in Washington State on Nov.
a hi- jacked Northwest Airlines Boeing 727, $200,000 in ransom strapped to his body, as it flew over rugged terrain in Washington State on Nov. 24, 1971.
But. military jets tailing the plane did not see him bail out. He and the money vanished without trace despite a massive, comput- er-coordinated manhunt.
Even so, Ralph Himmelsbach, an FBI special agent who has worked doggedly on the case since the beginning, told THE STAR he will never give up the search.
"I dearly want to get him," he £said. "Someone, somewhere, must know who Cooper really is. Sooner or later a clue must come to the surface."
To Himmelsbach, the Cooper affair is the greatest unsolved puzzle in modern-day piracy. But he has no respect or admiration for the man who hijacked the Northwest flight between Port- land, Ore., and Seattle, Wash., on that fateful day.
The flight began like any other for stewardess Florence Shaffner. She was checking that passengers had fastened their seatbelts when a tall, dark-complected man with Weak hair and ourwineand not

The man in back, he said, was getting "awful nasty:"

Cooper looked at him bleakly and growled: "Let's get this show on the road." The FAA; man left. fast.
When the jet was back in the air, Cooper told Tina Mucklow to "go forward, pull the curtain and don't come back."
It was the last anyone ever saw . of-Cooper. From that moment un- til he vanished. into limbo, he communicated with the crew by phone.
-Three Air Force jet fighters lurked above and behind the plane, "anticipating that Cooper might jump. Radar followed the plane from the ground.
The jet lumbered at low speed as Cooper called the flight deck. He told Scott to open the jet's rear door. Scott did as he was told. From the rear exit, which extended beneath the tail, debar- kation stairs led below and away from the fuselage. Cooper was going to walk into space.
Intensely cold air rushed into the cabin as the rear- door' was lowered. The plane was becoming Being investigated

Few drawn to Cooper Caper
By COLUMBIAN STAFF, AP ARIEL - Skies were overcast and people almost as scarce as D.B. Cooper, himself, as this community near Mount St. Helens held its second annual party in honor of the legendary skyjacker's disappearance Saturday.
Only a handful of people gathered around a steaming cauldron of buffalo stew at the Ariel Store and Tavern. And inside the tavern where another 30 people were gathered, beer flowed more freely than talk of old D.B., who either pulled off one of the greatest swindles of the age ' or died trying.
Cooper parachuted from a Northwest Airlines jet with 10,000 $20 bills somewhere near Ariel, 10 miles northeast of Woodland, on Thanksgiving r Eve in 1971.
Not one of the bills has turned up, and there has been no trace of the man who gave his name as Dan Cooper when he bought the ticket that : carried
Not one of the bills has turned up, and there has been no trace of the man who gave his name as Dan Cooper when he bought the ticket that : carried him into legend.
The Cooper Caper, as it is called, is sponsored mainly by Vince and Germaine Tricola, owners · of the Ariel Store and Tavern, with the assistance of such people as Dave Butterfield, publicity chairman and chief stew stirrer, and a few others.
The. avowed purpose of the celebration, aside from commemorating the fete of skyjacker- Cooper, is to bring a little prosperity to the' settlement of about 250 people who in ordinary life do such things as work in a shingle mill.
As one resident put it: "We hope Cooper will show up and spend some of those $20 bills."
But Cooper did not show up Saturday and no one seemed particularly surprised.
"I've been looking, but I haven't seen him yet," Butterfield said, grinning as he stirred the stew. "We'd like him to show, but he probably won't. He's one of the few truly free men -- if he's alive. I kinda think of him as being like Robin Hood.

6 years after jump Despite search, tips, still no sign of Cooper
By LEVERETT RICHARDS of The Oregonian staff
Dan Cooper, where are you? After six years and some of the Inost intensive searches on record the fate of this first high-finance, high- jumping hijacker remains a baffling . mystery.
"We really don't know any more today than we did 8:10 p.m. Wednesday Nov. 24, 1971, when a man who called himself Cooper dived out the rear end of a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 with $200,000 and vanished without a trace," said Ralph Himmelsbach, veter- an FBI agent.
24, 1971, when a man who called himself Cooper dived out the rear end of a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 with $200,000 and vanished without a trace," said Ralph Himmelsbach, veter- an FBI agent.
""Not one of those 10,000 $20 bills ·has turned up," Himmelsbach said. "Neither has his parachute, money bag, or any solid evidence of any kind."
Thousands of reports have been in- vestigated, scores of suspects checked out and hundreds of "clues" studied, but to no avail.
"A dozen or so new suspects were, reported and investigated this year, only to be eliminated," Himmelsbach . said. "We still don't know his identity. No one by that name or description has been reported missing."
No organized searches have been .. conducted in the past year, but dozens * of individuals have asked for maps of . the "target area," two miles east of La Center, Wash., where the hijacker is. believed to have landed on that wild . and windy night after boarding the air- liner in Portland.
"From my investigations I lean to the hypothesis that Cooper landed in the dense woods either dead or mortally hurt," Himmelsbach said.
"From my investigations I lean to the hypothesis that Cooper landed in the dense woods either dead or mortally hurt," Himmelsbach said. "It could be years before his remains are found. That country is too rugged, too steep and too choked with brush to be, searched thoroughly. A lot of hunters have probably been through there, but they don't plough through the thickets." They walk around them, just as the. wild animals do."
Cooper's skyjacking inspired a wave of hijackings for large ransoms, leading to a rigid airport security system. The. increased security has cut the number of hijacking attempts dramatically. No one- has hijacked a plane and escaped. since the the system went into effect, Himmelsbach said.
. In the first six months of this year, Federal Aviation Administration securi- ty agents apprehended 370 individuals: for carrying firearms at 71 airports. around the country.
Every anniversary of Cooper's hi- jacking brings a flood of calls from peo- ple reporting they have suspicious $20 bills, Himmelsbach said. "Anyone find- ing 'a $20 bill that he thinks is suspi- cious should first look at the face of the
"Anyone find- ing 'a $20 bill that he thinks is suspi- cious should first look at the face of the bill.
"At the lower right hand of the pic- . ture of Andrew Jackson you will find a date and a letter - like 1973, with a C under it. That is the date the bill was issued:
: "Obviously, if it was issued after 1971 it could not be one of the missing biļis," Himmelsbach pointed out.
In Ariel, Wash:, near where Cooper is believed to have bailed out, the mys- terious skyjacker will be feted Satur- day, Nov. 26.
Ariel residents have extended an in- vitation for Cooper to come back and spend a few $20 bills at a buffalo stew feed In the general store.
