Cooper who skyjacked Northwest Orient Flight Number 305 on November 24, 1971. :unselected: viewed the four artists' composites and stated in her judgment, the black and white artist's composite without the sunglasses looks just like John Scott Maze, who died of a heart attack in November, 1974, in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the age of 59.

She noted in addition to the information she furnished to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Charlottesville, Virginia, on April 11, 1980, John Scott Maze did smoke cigarettes of the filter type but she could not recall the brand.
She also noted he was always extremely polite, even to her whom he did not care for at all.
She noted the composite she identified as looking just like John Scott Maze, looked like him without the "David Niven" type mustache he always wore.
She also recalled he alwa's talked at a low modulation as he had an adversity towards loud noise. She added, she talks loud and that was one of the things Maze did not like about her. | cooper_d_b_part045.pdf#page=347 | cooper_d_b_part045.pdf |

On 5/2/80, Sambo's Restaurant, located on Riverside Drive, Danville, Va., (Telephone: 799-0041) telephonically contacted the writer in the Richmond Office to advise that she had seen publicity concerning the D. B. Cooper on television about one month ago and had immediately associated the composite of the UNSUB on the TV with a customer of hers known to her as (phonetic) . She explained that she had waited one month to contact the FBI as she had been reluctant to do so for fear of being considered a "nut".

This FBI badletin shows a composite sker; to d' the sought-after hijacker.
It was approximately 8:15 p.m., and the northwest was experi -: encing a heavy rain storm with occasional snow ffurries, winds up to 80 knots and temperatures of 20 degrees at altitude. Wear -: ing a long, flat backpack parachute and chest-mounted reserve over his business suit and slip-on loafers, Cooper descended the lowered aircraft steps. Investigators believe he held onto the hand rails and stood on the stairs at 10,000 feet in the wind and rain for up to two minutes .- before jumping into the night.
The Missing Man and Gear
The Northwest Airlines co-pilot politely and repeatedly informed Cooper over the intercom that they had to refuel in Reno before continuing. It was only after they landed that the crew discovered that Cooper, the money, his briefcase, raincoat and one backpack and reserve parachute were gone. | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=134 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |
file-cooper_d_b_part077_pdf-636F6F7065725F645F625F706172743037372E706466-page-127 |
The Manhunt
By calculating the last verbal contact with Cooper and when the jet's pressure gauges indicated the back stairway snapped shut (with the release of Cooper's weight) and open again, investiga- tors estimated that Cooper most likely exited over the rural and densely forested town of Ariel, Washington. Fifty-foot fir trees cover steep hills, rolling down to the 12-mile-long Lake Merwin.
Authorities combed the area inch by inch, looking for some sign of a parachute, broken trees or branches, money or dothing. They found nothing. How easily something could be overlooked in the difficult terrain was demonstrated by the fact that two elderly women found the body of a missing college student who had been strangled. Authorities had missed it. One wealthy investor, convinced that D.B. Cooper and the cash lay at the bottom of the lake, used his private miniature submarine to search the floor of the lake inch by inch. Again, the search came up empty.
News of the hijacking immediately hit the airwaves all across the United States. | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=135 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |

Agent Him- melsbach even made a skydive once and says, "It was an enjoyable experience, but I prefer the power and control of an airplane."
As for the whereabouts of D.B. Cooper today -- that unanswered question is what keeps the mystery alive.

Is it a bird ?- Is it a plane?
The pensioner plunges
When the average man reach- es the ripe old age of 71, he might expect a small party, perhaps a big cake or a slurpy bowl of longevity noodles.
But Sheridan Peterson is not what you might call your aver- 1) age man."
For Peterson's idea of a 71st birthday celebration was to throw himself out of a high- flying aeroplane.
He attempted his birthday freefall parachute jump at the Beijing Aero Sports School in Baishan, Changping County recently.
The result?
A few bruises, plus a fourth generation Californian became the oldest person to ever make : a parachute jump in China, . | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=136 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |

Results of Nuclear DNA Examinations:
Specimens Q57 through Q62 were subjected to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at the amelogenin sex typing locus and the nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci of the AmpFISTR® Profiler Plus™ ID PCR Amplification Kit.1
Based on the typing results from the amelogenin locus (for sex determination), male DNA2 is present in the DNA obtained from specimens Q58 and Q61. No amelogenin typing results were obtained from specimens Q57, Q59, Q60, and Q62.
No STR typing results were obtained from specimens Q57, Q59, Q60, and Q62. | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=305 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |

Methods
Items of evidence submitted to the Latent Print Operations Unit for examination may be examined visually, examined with various light sources, and/or processed with chemicals and

powders to detect the presence of latent friction ridge prints. The specific sequence of examinations and processes depends upon the nature of the evidence.
Friction ridge print examinations are conducted using the Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation, and Verification methodology (ACE-V), which includes an assessment of the quantity and quality of the information present. The steps of ACE-V are applied to each examination as appropriate.
Analysis is the assessment of a friction ridge print to determine if sufficient reliable details are present to conduct a comparison with another print and to reach an identification conclusion. If these conditions are met, the print is determined to be "of value".
Comparison is the direct side-by-side observation of friction ridge prints of value to determine whether or not the information in two prints is in agreement. | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=309 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |

Preliminary information received from MSP Planning Office (MSPPO) : HJ demanding $200,000 (denomination not restricted), 2 chest-pack parachutes, 2 back-pack parachutes. All to be available and ready at airplane parking site before landing will be permitted at SEA.
Apparently has a bomb in briefcase. Passenger apparently poarded at PDX.
.720* Crew advised they would hold over Lofall intersection until all material available. No info yet on destination HJ desired after SEA T.O. HJ had said there was to be no "funny stuff" at any time or he would detonate the bomb. Specified that only the fuel truck, air- stair truck, and, automobile with che money and 'chutes approach the airplane. That airplane be marked in an "isolated" position. ! Gave a deadlin: of 1900 CST for all demands to be met. HJ remained in tourist cabin with one stewardess sitting next to him and aware of what appeared to be a bomb (dynamite sticks, wire, battery). Pas- sengers not advised that high-jacking in progress but that reason for the holding was "minor mechanical prob .. em".
Crew described passenger as white, 6' 1", black hair, 175#, approximately 50, black suit, black rain coat, | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf#page=374 | cooper_d_b_part077.pdf |

Cloud covering is an advantage but not knowing where the ground is, is a problem because of the peaks in the area. The above procedure would be in effect if I was not in familiar territory. Another advantage of an early chute opening would be for the jumper to select the best drop zone possible.
In unfamiliar territory and wherein a light might be observed, would' give the jumper not only an idea of his altitude but an opportunity for steering himself toward a suitable drop zone.
In chuting in familiar territory, this type of dropp would be rather "simple to an experienced jumper". This would allow the jumper to "free-fall" for the full
