With regard to the recent hijacking of a plane involving a $200,000 ransom payoff:
My son has a friend who drops by the house occasionally. One evening about a week ago the friend came by and, in the process of the conversation, he mentioned that he was going to have a $200,000 wedding. Jokingly I asked if by some chance he was in on the hijacking of the airplane. His answer was yes, and my uncle who lives in the vicinity of Vancouver, Washington, even looks like the hijacker and even owns a Cessna 310, is an ex-paratrooper and does sky diving.
The last name of the friend's father is The father is a pilot and works for City Transfer in Kent, Wash. My son informed me that his friend or his friend's father went to Portland or vicinity at about the time the hijacking transpired.

DB COOPER-47231In regards to "D. B. Cooper" who hijacked the North- west Orient Airlines 727 on the night of November 24, 1971, I have the following information:
There is a man named Coovert who works as a Driver's Examiner for the state in Gresham, Oregon. The man fits the physical description and wears dark glasses most of the time. After the time of the hijacking he has become very much less sociable. The man's history has been somewhat unstable as far as employment, which includes work in a bank. The above information is hearsay but was convincing enough to be very believable in addition to other information I cannot ac- curately remember enough to convey correctly.

California, who has been engaged in parachute sales, manufacturing, repair and alterations for about 47 years, was contacted relative to suspects and general information in connection with this matter. has been contacted previously, primarily in connection with IGP cases in which a few parachutes, reportedly stolen, were sent to him for alterations. is apparently well regarded in this business and from previous contacts with him, it appears that he does repair and alteration work for numerous sky divers throughout the United States.
advised he can suggest no specific suspects, primarily due to the fact that he has very limited personal contact with his customers. He advised that most of his work is sent to him by the owner and that he returns it to the owner by mail or other commercial delivery. 2 - Seattle (Enc. 1) (RM) 2 - Sacramento DPF: epg (4)

advised he had reviewed his records relative to the name COOPER and located only two matters under that name. He advised on 12/10/70, he shipped some material to ROBERT D. COOPER, 23 West Galer, Apt. 309, Seattle, Washington. On 8/16/71, he shipped some material to ROBERT COOPER, P. O. Box 405, Snohomish, Washington. He advised he has no reason to consider the above as suspects other than the last name. He also advised from the handwriting on the letters received requesting material, it is likely that these are the same persons, as the hand- writing is similar. The handwriting is available, should it be desired for comparison purposes.
advised the only central records he knows of regarding a mailing list for sky divers or clubs would be the association in Monterey, California, which distributes a magazine nationwide and should have a mailing list.
advised that he doubts the person who committed this crime was a sky diver. He noted that he has heard that the parachutes furnished to the man were a commercial brand named "Pioneer" and a now surplus Navy parachute designated "NB-8".
He noted that he has heard that the parachutes furnished to the man were a commercial brand named "Pioneer" and a now surplus Navy parachute designated "NB-8". He stated if this is a fact, he doubts the man is a sky diver inasmuch as anyone with sky-diving experience would have asked for a sky-diving type parachute, which neither of the above are.
further advised that the above paradutes would be hazardous to use inasmuch as that type of chute would open very quickly, with a possibility of tearing, and both have a high rate of descent and very limited control. In his opinion, a person using such a chute would probably have prior military jumping experience but would not have skydiving experience. He further noted that an experienced sky diver would have asked for a chute such as a "Para-Commander", which would be readily available in an area such as Seattle, Washington. This type of parachute opens more slowly, is very maneuverable, and has a much slower rate of descent.

Re New Suspect:
RAYMOND TORREY HEALD,
Born 3/30/39
PETE (NMN) PICCIOLO, born 6/7/36, was recently referred to the Los Angeles Division as a possible suspect in this matter as a known parachutist who had seriously injured himself about one and one-half years ago. PICCIOLO's whereabouts on 11/24/71, was positively established through payroll records at his place of employment, Weber Air- craft Company, Burbank, California, where examination of time cards revealed he was at his employment the entire day of 11/24/71.
On 8/1/73, PICCIOLO, an avid parachutist who travels widely and writes articles concerning parachuting, was interviewed at his residence, 626 East Angeleno, Apartment I, Burbank, California. PICCIOLO studied the artist's conception and advised he believed it resembled

would probably not be considered in his mid forties unless disguised and recalled him to be in his early thirties. He knew HEALD to have been familiar with the Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon areas and believed him capable of such a crime. He advised he had last seen HEALD about two years ago in Antioch, California, at which time HEALD indicated he was training to be an air controller. The only specific information he knew was that HEALD's wife had worked for awhile at Weber Aircraft Company where he, PICCIOLO, had also been employed.

On the same date, records of Weber Aircraft Company revealed RITA R. HEALD was employed as a seamstress at Weber Aircraft from 1969 to 2/5/70. She had furnished her prior employments as the Elks Club, 515 S.W. Broadway, Portland, Oregon, during 1962 and the Jolly Joan Restaurant, 1314 Auburn Avenue, Auburn, Washington, from February to October 1963. She was a cocktail waitress on both occasions.

He had then applied for a position in Denver, Colorado, but something happened at the last minute ad he did not get the job in Denver.

On 8/3/73,
Santa Monica Airport Terminal Tower, Santa Monica, California, advised RAYMOND T. HEALD was personally known to him. In early 1971 he was advised by his superiors that HEALD, an air controller trainee at Palmdale, California, was being transferred to Santa Monica as a result of numerous problems he was involved in at Palmdale. confidentially
stated it was indicated to him that HEALD should be fired but due to the manner in which reams of evidence had been mishandled, his superiors did not feel a hearing at this time was feasible. He stated that among allegations was the fact that HEALD was involved in the sale of marijuana to trainees at the Air Control Center, Palmdale. Shortly after his arrival at Santa Monica, HEALD was known to be abusing the privilege of trainees wherein they were allowed to fly in the cockpits of aircraft to study traffic. On one specific

At the time HEALD left due to his resignation on 4/17/71, he indicated he was going to Oregon and just relax. Several months later (believed to be eight or nine months) in early 1972, HEALD stopped briefly at the Santa Monica Airport and indicated he was doing real well in Oregon, but no specifics were discussed. HEALD was noted at the time of this brief appearance to be wearing a light beard and recalled that just prior to his departure for Oregon in April he had very long hair and a long beard.
