Previous opinions from the Seattle U.
Following a comprehensive review of investigation possible in this case at this date, the following steps have been taken:
Statute of Limitations and Venue Issue
Previous opinions from the Seattle U.S. Attorney's Office and DOJ from 1976 (serial 6841, Sub JJ and DOJ letter dated 8/11/1975 - attached) indicate that this was a capital offense and thus not subject to a statute of limitations. It is this opinion that has been used as a basis for the case remaining pending. In addition, Portland filed a "John Doe" indictment in 1976, just prior to the tolling of a normal five year statute. It was apparently the opinion of the Seattle USA's Office and DOJ in 1976 that subject COOPER was not sufficiently identified to present such an indictment. Portland decided at the last minute to file an indictment apparently as a fail-safe. The investigative file for this case has always resided in Seattle.
On 4/24/1998 SA requested that Seattle AUSA

one per month requires follow up. Of these, about four/five per year require leads be set to other Divisions.
The only significant outstanding lead at this time involves a deathbed confession of an individual who claimed to be COOPER (DUANE LORIN WEBER Sub 1055). This lead is being pursued.
It is likely that any identification of COOPER at this date will result from either a spontaneous confession or application of newer investigative technology. In this regard, two steps were undertaken:
1. The DNA Unit was contacted and agreed to perform an unknown subject analysis on the numerous cigarette butts left by COOPER on the aircraft that day.
The DNA Unit was contacted and agreed to perform an unknown subject analysis on the numerous cigarette butts left by COOPER on the aircraft that day. They believed it likely that DNA could be recovered. Unfortunately, it was discovered that this evidence had been destroyed years earlier in Las Vegas.
2. Leads were set out for the Latent Fingerprint Section to perform automated analysis of the 70 latent fingerprints recovered from the hijacked Northwest Airlines aircraft in 1971. These Latents will be processed through a variety of FBI and state AFIS systems that did not exist until a few years ago.
There are additional investigative steps possible which involve considerable manpower. It is suggested that these be held in abeyance pending the receipt of the written updated DOJ opinion.

As you are aware, from time to time this investigation continues to garner significant media attention, even though the hijacking occurred in November of 1971. It remains the only unsolved skyjacking in U.S. history. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) continues to receive numerous inquiries and occasional tips which necessitate significant investigation to include or exclude an individual as a possible subject. Although over the years there has been a system developed to streamline the review of these potential suspects, nevertheless, significant investigative resources are expended, not only by the Seattle office of the FBI but numerous offices throughout the United States. It is, of course, the policy of the FBI that any pending investigation, if prosecutable, will continue to be pursued to the fullest extent possible until such time as prosecution becomes unlikely or a deceased subject is identified.
of the FBI that any pending investigation, if prosecutable, will continue to be pursued to the fullest extent possible until such time as prosecution becomes unlikely or a deceased subject is identified. In light of the passage of 26 years since this crime, we believe an updated review of the statute of limitation and venue issues is necessary.

RE: NORJACK
Per our telephone conversation this date, the Laboratory Division, Latent Fingerprint Section (LFS) will make every effort to complete the requested latent print examination in the referenced case by the following dates:
June 12, 1998 -- Comparison of any latent prints on memo and resume submitted with Seattle EC 6/18/97 and previous latent prints with available prints of DUANE LOREN WEBER
June 19, 1998 -- Comparison of any unidentified latent prints on memo and resume with elimination prints to be submitted by Seattle Division
June 26, 1998-Comparison of suspect prints generated as a result of automated searches of previous and/or
latent prints on memo and resume with elimination prints to be submitted by Seattle Division
June 26, 1998-Comparison of suspect prints generated as a result of automated searches of previous and/or current latent prints
July 2, 1998-Comparison of unidentified latent prints on memo and resume with previous latent prints (if feasible)
Obviously, there could be unforeseen circumstances that will prevent the LFS from meeting these target dates, but in the event that appears likely, you will be immediately advised of the situation by Fingerprint Specialist or me.
You will be telephonically advised of any positive results as soon as that information becomes available and of the results of each completed stage of the examination.

Re: News article from Associated Press dated 11/25/96

Federal Bureau of Investigation 915 Second Ave. Room 710 Seattle, WA 98174
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am doing a study of the D. B. Cooper hijacking that may or may not have been successful, and there are a number of questions that are quite puzzling to me, and probably many other folks also, and I'm hoping your office might be able to supply some insight.
My questions have to do with a few things that were not made clear in the news articles, and perhaps there are reasons for the omissions, or maybe no one thought they were important.
My questions have to do with a few things that were not made clear in the news articles, and perhaps there are reasons for the omissions, or maybe no one thought they were important.
The first inquiry has to do with the type of conveyance used to carry the money. If it was some sort of a satchel with a handle or a heavier hand-bag or zippered bag, and he bailed out with two chutes on, he would be traveling at free-fall speed of about, what, sixty miles an hour or so? He would never be able to hold on to the bag when the chute popped open. If he were carrying the money in a package, he would have lost it.
The article also said that there were two pilots and a flight attendant aboard, when the plane took off from Seatac Airport. All of the passengers and two flight attendants deplaned there as part of the deal, and the money and four parachutes were put aboard. Now the Boeing 727 requires a three-man crew-what happened to the flight engineer? Did Cooper not know he was up there? Did he get off with the passengers? If not, there were five people aboard not four. In addition, the B-727 is a difficult aircraft to operate without a flight engineer that operates all of
In addition, the B-727 is a difficult aircraft to operate without a flight engineer that operates all of the systems.
Cooper had asked for four parachutes. Has anyone figured out why he wanted four chutes?
Another question that's troubling me; where did you get-four parachutes-late-at-night? That's a hard thing to find during daylight hours! I'm assuming they were military-almost had to be.

DB Cooper-21328I am hopeful you'll be able to shed some light on these thoughts. I certainly understand that your department has more than its share of tasks to perform without fooling around with these kinds of requests, but I'm an old man trying to put a story to bed, and I could use a little help.
I agree with who inherited the case when it happened. He had long maintained that Cooper either landed in the Columbia River and drowned, or died in the mountains. What's more, I can only speculate as to what actually happened, but I would certainly appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer that would help me to build a story.

Details: Referenced EC advised that an updated prosecutive opinion from DOJ concerning any statute of limitations issues was requested from Seattle AUSA in April, 1998. b6 b7C
On 1/28/1999 AUSA advised that he has spoken with appropriate DOJ officials. These conversations have caused him to conclude that "the statute of limitations is infinite" in this matter. AUSA further advised that a written legal brief will be forthcoming to this effect. This is consistent with prior opinions from DOJ and the United States Attorneys Office.
The continuing need to automate at least the list of suspect names in this file was also discussed in April, 1998. It was determined that this task would be held in abeyance pending the USA's review, or time available by the support staff. Since April, it is estimated that this list has needed to be manually searched by SA at least 8-10 times as a result of calls from other Divisions.
Since April, it is estimated that this list has needed to be manually searched by SA at least 8-10 times as a result of calls from other Divisions. As there are over 1100 names, considerable Agent time was required to perform these searches, and the result is imperfect. These inquiries continue. NORJAK manual indices are incomplete and not easily accessible. It was estimated by Squad 5 rotor that one workday would suffice to automate these names.
Although additional requests of the LAB may be made in the near future concerning this case, most of the calls received continue not to warrant setting investigative leads.

Dear
Have read the accompling article and have concluded from the facts stated in the article that DB Corpen did mat jump. There are some facts that tell Me this. He knew the
plane had an car stairs that would Lower in flight. This indicates that he knew the plane. I content that he walked off The plane while everyone was in the caseale il montan looking for him.
Is he knew about the Mean stains, he could have known about a hiding place in which to stay until later when he jast walked off, a else when the
plane landed in Preno and was atwong
to turn around, he just wolkee down
the stairs.

DB Cooper-21341 Twenty-fiveyears after his bigjump, D.B. Cooper's legend flies hig
By GEORGE TIBBITS The Associated Press
SEATTLE - It's been 25 years since he took that big step out of a Boeing 727 at 10,000 feet, yet tips on D.B. Cooper still trickle in.
One of the most daring -- or dumbest-criminals ever remains at large, having either flouted the laws of society or been foiled by the law of gravity.
"It's still a pending investigation," says Seattle-based FBI agent Ray Lauer, who adds that the case will stay open "probably forever."
The FBI here still stores 60 vol- umes of interviews and other docu- ments telling how Cooper hijacked a jetliner, demanded and received $200,000, then jumped from the plane over the Cascade Mountains of southwestern Washington and into legend.
He hasn't been heard from since, although $5,880 of his loot was found by a boy playing on the banks of the Columbia River in 1980.
He hasn't been heard from since, although $5,880 of his loot was found by a boy playing on the banks of the Columbia River in 1980.
A few taverns and restaurants mark the anniversary of the nation's only unsolved skyjacking case. And now and then someone calls the FBI with a tip or suggestion.
"Surprisingly, yeah, we still get quite a few of them," Lauer says. They tend to come in spurts, when they might get two to four in a week,
then might not get any more tips for several months."
The FBI dutifully checks them out.
Wherever Cooper is, it's a safe bet his skydiving days are over: If he sur- vived, he'd be 70 or older now.
On Nov. 24, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving, a man in his mid-40s wearing dark glasses boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines plane in Portland.
He bought a ticket under the name Dan Cooper - a law enforce- ment official later erroneously re- ferred to him as "D.B." and the ini- tials stuck - and took seat 18F in coach. He ordered a bourbon and wa- ter and handed flight attendant Flo Schaffner a note.
" and the ini- tials stuck - and took seat 18F in coach. He ordered a bourbon and wa- ter and handed flight attendant Flo Schaffner a note.
He apparently lacked a strong criminal presence; the busy Schaffner stuck the paper in her pocket, think- ing it was a mash note, according to an account published in Northwest's 1986 corporate history, "Flight to the Top."
Not until takeoff did she bother to read the message: "Miss, I've got a bomb, come sit next to me - you're being hijacked."
Fellow cabin attendant Tina Mucklow Larson recounted how she and Schaffner relayed dozens of mes- sages from Cooper to the cockpit - including his demands for $200,000 in used $20 bills and four parachutes.
He had no unusual characteris- tics, Larson recalled. He wore a dark suit, dark tie, white shirt and the sunglasses, which he never took off, and chain-smoked.
He also had a black briefcase, which he opened for Larson, showing her a couple of red cylinders, wires and a battery.
He collected the money, provided by the airline, during a stop at Seat- tle-Tacoma International Airport, where the 36 passengers and two flight attendants were
He collected the money, provided by the airline, during a stop at Seat- tle-Tacoma International Airport, where the 36 passengers and two flight attendants were released. Lar- son and the two pilots remained on board. Cooper demanded the plane be flown to Mexico, agreeing to a refuel- ing stop at Reno.
Just after takeoff, Larson said, Cooper asked how to lower the rear stairs of the 727, the only jetliner equipped with that feature. He then told her to go to the front of the plane and pull the first-class curtain shut.
About 40 minutes after takeoff, the cockpit's stair signal light flashed on. When the jet landed in Reno, the stairs were down and Cooper was missing, along with the money , and two parachutes.
Such an exit would be impossible today: Cooper's lasting contribution to aircraft design is the "Cooper Vane," a latching device on Boeing 727s that prevents the tail stairway from being lowered in flight.
Cooper dove into a freezing rain-
storm at 10,000 feet, wearing only a business suit and loafers. The tem- perature was 7 below zero, not count- ing a wind chill factor estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph.
The tem- perature was 7 below zero, not count- ing a wind chill factor estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph.
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent assigned to the case before his retirement in 1980, has long main- tained Cooper was a bumbler and a fool.
If the cold didn't kill him, if he withstood the powerful turbulence, Cooper was still parachuting into dense forest at night, at the onset of winter, with no food or survival gear.
"It was a bad place to land, and it is doubtful we would ever find the body," Himmelsbach said in a 1991
interview. "This was a desperate act you wouldn't expect from a normal man in his mid-40s. This was some- thing you would expect from some- body who had nothing to lose."
Himmelsbach believes Cooper ei- ther landed in the Columbia and drowned, or died in the mountains and the money was washed out.
An extensive search turned up no traces. Nine years later, Mount St. Helens erupted and blanketed much of the area with ash.
Each year, celebrations are held at restaurants named D.

Cooper's infamous skyjacking, I thought I would throw my hat into the ring now in hope the information that I am about to relate to the Bureau will, perhaps, receive more closer scrutiny then if I had waited until after the media showcases the legendary event. Furthermore, if this letter contains the "smoking gun" you are looking for, the Bureau will have sufficient time to investigate the case in time to "shock" the nation on Thanksgiving Day.
In the enclosed color copy of page in the Oregon State College (now Oregon State University) yearbook, do you see Dan Cooper? I do! If we analyze the Cooper Drawing and description in the 11-25-96 Tacoma News Tribune's article, you will find remarkable similiarities. is quite similar, his dark suit and tie with white shirt brings out his preference of dress style. ; The shape of his head, protruding jaw, small mouth, and ears are also quite similar.

In order to receive a Business degree at OSC, it had to be in combination with a Science minor since the University of Oregon had long established its Business Administration program and had grabbed its share of prominence in the state of Oregon. I saw frequently in when we would get together over a cup of coffee and compare our notes before and after examinations. I saw him less frequently in He graduated in the Spring of with a degree in and left Corvallis with a firm job offer with hopes of establishing himself in the business world. I haven't seen him since, although I inquired about his whereabouts in 1989 when paranoia overcame me to determine if he was still alive, Keeping in mind the finding of $5,880 of marked bills on the banks of the Columbia River in 1980 was sufficient evidence to believe Dan Cooper perished when he parashooted into the wilds; I was discouraged to learn from the Oregon State University Alumni Association that contact with was a matter of record until 1984.

However, the fact that he was living in an apartment in 1984 might suggest that after years of pursuing his dreams in the business world that he probably stumbled a time or two and his marriage ended in divorce. I checked out the Mountain View, California street address a few months ago with the postal directory and it appears to be bonafide.

Snow, ice still play havoc with Spokane-area power
SPOKANE - Snow and ice con- tinued to hit electric companies when they were down Sunday, and keeping thousands of people in the Spokane area without power.
"It's real frustrating because we no more than get a line back up than another tree comes back down," said Dave Clinton, Inland Power and Light Co. assistant manager for op- erations and engineering.
Sunday was the sixth day where aftereffects of an early winter storm could still be felt. Since last Monday when the storm first blew through the Northwest, at least six people have died in the state, including three in the Spokane area.
Inland Power had 2,500 customers Sunday in rural Eastern Washington without power, but by the afternoon that number increased to 3,000.
Inland Power had 2,500 customers Sunday in rural Eastern Washington without power, but by the afternoon that number increased to 3,000.
Washington Water Power still had 20,000 customers without power, down from 25,000 Saturday. About 500 customers in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, area were still without power Sunday.
Saturday night 301 people stayed in six emergency shelters, said Peg- gy Berkaana, Executive Director of the Inland Northwest chapter of the American Red Cross.
Since Tuesday, 8,000 meals have been served.

D.B. Cooper is still missing, and the legend lives on
25 years since most famous hijacking
By George Tibolts The Associated Press
It's been 25 years since he took that big step out of a Boeing 727 at 10,000 feet, yet tips on D.B. Cooper still trickle in.
One of the most daring - or dumb- est - criminals ever remains at large, having either flouted the laws of so- ciety or been foiled by the law of gravity.
"It's still a pending investigation," says Seattle-based FBI agent Ray Lauer, who adds that the case will stay open "probably forever.
"It's still a pending investigation," says Seattle-based FBI agent Ray Lauer, who adds that the case will stay open "probably forever."
The FBI still stores 60 volumes of interviews and other documents telling how Cooper hijacked a jetlin- er, demanded and received $200,000, then jumped from the plane over the Cascade Mountains of Southwest Washington and into legend.
He hasn't been heard from since, although $5,880 of his loot was found by a boy playing on the banks of the Columbia River in 1980.
A few taverns and restaurants mark the anniversary of the nation's only unsolved skyjacking case. And now and then someone calls the FBI
with a tip or suggestion.
"Surprisingly, yeah, we still get quite a few of them," Lauer says. "They tend to come in spurts, when they might get two to four in a week, then might not get any more tips for several months."
Wherever Cooper is, it's a safe bet his sky- diving days are over: If he sur- vived, he'd be 70 or older now.
On Nov. 24, 1971, the day be-

24, 1971, the day be-
Cooper drawing
fore Thanksgiving, a man in his mid- 40s wearing dark glasses boarded a Northwest Airlines plane in Port- land.
He bought a ticket under the name Dan Cooper - he was later erro- neously referred to him as "D.B." and the initials stuck - and took seat 18F in coach. He ordered a bourbon and water and handed flight atten- dant Flo Schaffner a note.
The busy Schaffner stuck the pa-
per in her pocket, thinking it was a mash note, Not until takeoff did she bother to read the message: "Miss, I've got a bomb, come sit next to me - you're being hijacked."
Fellow cabin attendant Tina Mucklow Larson recounted how she and Schaffner relayed dozens of messages from Cooper to the cockpit -including his demands for $200,000 in used $20 bills and four para- chutes.
He had no unusual characteris- tics, Larson recalled. He wore a dark suit, dark tie, white shirt and the sunglasses, which he never took off, and chain-smoked.
He also had a black briefcase, which he opened for Larson, showing her a couple of red cylinders, wires and a battery.
He also had a black briefcase, which he opened for Larson, showing her a couple of red cylinders, wires and a battery.
He collected the money, provided by the airline, during a stop at Seat- tle-Tacoma International Airport, where the 36 passengers and two flight attendants were released. Lar- son and the two pilots remained on
board. Cooper demanded the plane be flown to Mexico, agreeing to a re- fueling stop at Reno.
Just after takeoff, Larson said, Cooper asked how to lower the rear stairs of the 727, the only jetliner equipped with that feature. He then told her to go to the front of the plane and pull the first-class curtain shut.
About 40 minutes after takeoff, a stair signal light flashed on. When the jet landed in Reno, the stairs were down and Cooper, the money and parachutes were missing.
Such an exit would be impossible today: Cooper's lasting contribution to aircraft design is the "Cooper Vane," a latching device on Boeing 727s that prevents the tail stairway from being lowered in flight.
Cooper dove into a freezing rain- storm at 10,000 feet, wearing only a business suit and loafers.

Cooper dove into a freezing rain- storm at 10,000 feet, wearing only a business suit and loafers. The tem- perature was 7 below zero, not count- ing a wind chill factor estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph.
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent on the case before his retire- ment in 1980, has long maintained Cooper was a bumbler and a fool.
If the cold didn't kill him, if he withstood the powerful turbulence, Cooper was still parachuting into dense forest at night, at the onset of winter, with no food or survival gear.
"It was a bad place to land, and it is doubtful we would ever find the body," Himmelsbach said in a 1991 interview. "This was a desperate act you wouldn't expect from a normal man in his mid-40s. This was some- thing you would expect from some- body who had nothing to lose."
Himmelsbach believes Cooper ei- ther landed in the Columbia and drowned, or died in the mountains and the money was washed out.

First lady applauds Thai anti prostitution program
Hillary Clinton visits school in Thailand
By Grant Peck The Associated Press
MAE CHAN, Thailand - First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton visited a school Sunday that discourages poor families from selling their daughters into prostitution and said that girls must decide their own futures.
The first lady is visiting the rugged hill country of northern Thailand before joining P .Went Clinton on the first state visit to the country by an American president since 1969.
Her trip focused attention on Thailand's most tragic social problem - the sale of girls into the country's flourishing sex trade.

As she walked past umbrellas and colorful banners, young women threw flower petals in her path. A dozen silk-clad dancers and a traditional orchestra performed for her.
The first lady toured the Mae Chan Wit- taya Khom school, part of a program that has trained about 1,200 girls to become gem cutters, textile workers and nursing assis- tants.

"This project is an example of how to help protect young girls and women against ex- ploitation and abuse. You are examples and pioneers for young women around the world looking for the opportunity to decide for them- selves what is best for themselves and their families."
The project was founded in 1993 by Chakrapand Wongburanavart, dean of so- cial sciences at Chiang Mai University. The U.S. Agency for International Development gave $300,000 to start the project.
Chakrapand's counselors try to persuade parents to let their girls learn skills that will earn about $200 a month, a tenth of what some prostitutes make.
Girls can be sold for $1,000 and send re- mittances home to their parents. Having a daughter as a prostitute can mean the dif- . ference between poverty and a new home, motorcycle and status.

Boorda note cited medals
By James Risen Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON - In a note writ- ten before his suicide in May, Adm. Jeremy Boorda, then the Navy's top officer, indicated that he was deeply concerned about recent criticism of the service and "couldn't bear to bring dishonor" to sailors over ques- tions about whether he had improp- erly worn combat decorations.
The suicide note, published for the first time in the December issue of Washingtonian magazine, is consis- tent with the official description of the contents provided by the Navy immediately after the 57-year-old chief of naval operations took his life.
for the first time in the December issue of Washingtonian magazine, is consis- tent with the official description of the contents provided by the Navy immediately after the 57-year-old chief of naval operations took his life. It suggests that Boorda felt he was under enormous pressure - in addi- tion to the questions over the medais.
"To my sailors," he wrote, "I could- n't bear to bring dishonor to you. ... For those who want to tear our Navy down, I guess I've given them plen- ty to write about for a while. But I will soon be forgotten."
The Navy had declined to release the text of the note. It is included as part of a Washingtonian-article by Nick Kotz, a free-lance writer. The article noted that the Navy faced in- tense scrutiny during Boorda's two years at the top, including scandals involving sexual harassment and wrongdoing at the U.S. Naval Acad- emy.

Tips trickle in 25 years after D.B. Cooper's skyjacking
11-25-96
FBI checks reports, keeps case open
By GEORGE TIBBITS Associated Press
SEATTLE - It's been 25 years since he took that big step out of a Boeing 727 at 10,000 feet, yet tips on D.B. Cooper still come in.

"It's still a pending investiga- tion," says Seattle-based FBI agent Ray Lauer, who adds that the case will stay open "probably forever."
The FBI here still stores 60 volumes of interviews and other documents telling how Cooper hi- jacked a jetliner, demanded and received $200,000, then jumped from the plane over the Cascade Mountains of southwestern Wash- ington and into legend.
He hasn't been heard from
since, although $5,880 of his loot was found by a boy playing on the banks of the Columbia River in 1980.
A few taverns and restaurants mark the anniversary of the na- tion's only unsolved skyjacking case. And now and then someone calls the FBI with a tip or sug- gestion.
"Surprisingly, yeah, we still get quite a few of them," Lauer says. "They tend to come in spurts, when they might get two to four in a week, then might not get any more tips for several months."
The FBI dutifully checks them out.
You're being hijacked
Wherever Cooper is, it's a safe bet his skydiving days are over: If he survived, he'd be 70 or older now.
You're being hijacked
Wherever Cooper is, it's a safe bet his skydiving days are over: If he survived, he'd be 70 or older now.
On Nov. 24, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving, a man in his mid-40s wearing dark glasses boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines plane in Portland.
He bought a ticket under the
name Dan Cooper - a law en- forcement official later erroneously referred to him as "D.B." and the initials stuck - and took seat 18F in coach. He ordered a bourbon and water and handed flight attendant Flo Schaffner a note.
He apparently lacked a strong criminal presence; the busy Schaffner stuck the paper in her pocket.
Not until takeoff did she bother to read the message: "Miss, I've got a bomb, come sit next to me - you're being hijacked."
Fellow cabin attendant Tina Mucklow Larson recounted how she and Schaffner relayed dozens of messages from Cooper to the
cockpit - including his demands for $200,000 in used $20 bills and four parachutes.
He had no unusual characteris- tics, Larson recalled, He wore a dark suit, dark tie, white shirt and the sunglasses, which he never took off, and chain-smoked.
He had no unusual characteris- tics, Larson recalled, He wore a dark suit, dark tie, white shirt and the sunglasses, which he never took off, and chain-smoked.
He also had a black briefcase, which he opened for Larson, showing her a couple of red cylin- ders, wires and a battery.
He collected the money, provided by the airline, during a stop at Seattle-Tacoma International Air- port, where the 36 passengers and two flight attendants were re- leased. Larson and the two pilots remained on board. Cooper de-
manded the plane be flown to Mexico, agreeing to a refueling stop at Reno.
Missing with parachutes
Just after takeoff, Larson said, Cooper asked how to lower the rear stairs of the 727, the only jetliner equipped with that feature. Wher the jet landed in Reno, the stairs were down and Cooper was missing, along with the money and parachutes.
Cooper dove into a freezing rainstorm at 10,000 feet, wearing
only a business suit and loafers. The temperature was 7 below zero, not counting a wind chill estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph.
The temperature was 7 below zero, not counting a wind chill estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph.
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent assigned to the case before his retirement in 1980, has long maintained Cooper was a bumbler and a fool. If the cold didn't kill him, if he withstood the powerful turbulence, Cooper was still para- chuting into dense forest at night, at the onset of winter, with no food or survival gear.

As of 6 p.m. Sunday, Sioux Valley Southwestern Electric of Colman had restored power to about 1,300 customers, leaving 1,200 customers without elec- tricity, said company spokesman Martin McGrane.
The outages were scattered, but large numbers of homes were without power between Trent and Garretson and in the Humboldt and Hartford areas, he said.

McGrane wasn't certain when all of Sioux Valley Southwestern's customers would have power. The freezing rain that fell in the days before the snow storm caused about 400 electric poles to snap.
"A lot of them just splintered --- there was a lot of weight in this ice," McGrane said. "They snapped like a baseball bat."
Sioux Valley Southwestern called in about 100 workers from other electric cooperatives. in South Dakota and surrounding states to assist its 16 lines workers, he said.

"We will give them plenty of opportunity to change their be- havior, but there will be firm consequences," Smith said.
Students and parents give the proposed policy mixed reviews. Some like the message it sends, while others think the administra- tion refuses to trust students.
The policy allows students a chance to cut their suspensions if they and their parents participate in counseling sessions.
"Parents need to be a significant part of the solution," Smith said.

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 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.

As: The skyjacker who maybe got away
The original jumping skyjacker, Cooper boarded a Northwest Orient flight for Seattle on Thanksgiving Eve in 1971. Once aloft he threatened to blow up the plane and demanded $200,000 and four parachutes. After his demands were met, Cooper ordered the 727 to take off and then jumped from the rear of the plane somewhere
After his demands were met, Cooper ordered the 727 to take off and then jumped from the rear of the plane somewhere over Washington state. Despite exhaustive searches, Cooper's body was never found and his whereabouts are unknown.
Extra credit: The hijacker actually called himself Dan Cooper; a law officer mistakenly described him to the press as "D.B." and the name stuck.

Synopsis: Reference telecal to SA
6/9/2000. To set lead for forwarding to Laboratory of human skull allegedly found on a bank of the Columbia River.
Details: For the information of Omaha, on June 8, 2000 Seattle was contacted by Pierce County SO concerning a human skull that might be related to captioned case. advised that he had received a fax from the Police Chief in Cozad, Nebraska who related the following: A female resident of Cozad, name unknown, has recently died.
advised that he had received a fax from the Police Chief in Cozad, Nebraska who related the following: A female resident of Cozad, name unknown, has recently died. Family members had long ago discounted a story she had related about finding a human skull along the Columbia River in Washington State in the mid- 1980's. However, a inventory of her residence by family members recently located a nearly intact human skull.
Captioned case involves the hijacking of a Northwest Airlines flight between Portland and Seattle on 11/24/1971. The subject jumped from the aircraft carrying $200,000 in ransom money and two parachutes in southern Washington State. This case remains the only unsolved aircraft hijacking in U. S. history. In February, 1980 a portion of the money was found deposited along the Columbia River.
It is unknown as to the specific location from where this skull was retrieved, and if this evidenced remains that could have come from captioned case, or merely ancient remains or those from an unrelated death.

It is believed Rogers found the skull and other items in the early 1980s while vacationing on the Columbia River in Washington state, and had kept these items in her residence up until her death. It is requested this skull be analyzed since it was recovered in the same river that money from captioned skyjacking was found, and there is a possibility it is the skull of subject, D. B. Cooper.
