Leads concerning suspects will not be set forth in this report as they are being handled by separate con- munication.
There are currently 637 suspects, 470 of whom have been eliminated. New suspects are being developed and systematic elimination of these suspects continues.
In an effort to facilitate interoffice communi- cations, it is requested that all field offices originating NORJAK communications, not only refer to the | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=8 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

While the hijacking was in progress on the evening of November 24, 1971, it was established that a b6 had boarded the flight at Portland, but was not among the b7C passengers who deplaned at Seattle.
As a result, the name
was checked b6 through the Bureau indices, which revealed an Identification b7C Record for a

that b6 evening, the Portland Division advised that he definitely had been eliminated. A police officer of The Dalles, Oregon Police Department, visited him in The Dalles, and definitely identified him as the above and the fact was noted that he could not have been on the plane since he was at The Dalles.
There was no FBI release to the press concerning the above suspect, but the press coverage in Oregon, and in the State of Washington was so intense, it may have become known | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=9 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

5. The area within the boundary defined by Points H-P-O-R-O-K-J-I-H marks the extreme limits of probable landing points based on the above tolerances. That is, assumir.] the highest probable degree of inaccuracy in aircraft position, jump time, wind vector, etc., all probable HJ landing points would lie within the area defined by this line.

On November 29, 1971, the area from Woodland, Washington, up the Lewis River Road to Cougar, Washington, and Yale Lake was covered on a house to house basis, all locations being in Cowlitz County. The business establish- ments and private homes contacted all had information concerning the subject and his physical description,
Further house to house coverage was afforded in an area near the midpoint of a circle specified by Northwest Airlines as the center of the suspected area in which the subject exited the airplane. Every house and business establishment in a 20 mile square area was contacted or recontacted and it was found all individuals contacted had information on the subject but no information of value other than that previously reported.
On November 30, 1971, all doctors, clinics, hospitals, and agencies which could render medical assistance to an individual who could have broken limbs or severe abrasions from being in a heavily wooded area were contacted and were also | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=44 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

The search recommenced 7:15 AM, April 8, 1972, with 265 Army personnel and 20 Agents. Snow, sleet and freezing rain hampered search on April 12, 1972. Remaining areas to be searched were reached only by helicopter in- sertion of search personnel and landing zones in most cases were under 6 to 12 inches of snow.
The search of the entire area was completed at 1:00 PM, April 17, 1972 with nothing found.
HUNTERS SEARCH
Prior to the 1972 hunting season, the following information was made available to Washington State Game Wardens who supervise the area into which the hijacker parachuted:
"On November 24, 1971, a man parachuted into the below-described area with $200,000 in $20 bills. If, while camping or hunting, you should discover any evidence con- cerning this skyjacking please contact the nearest FBI office.

Gear down
Flaps - 15° down Altitude - 10,000 feet Aft door open and the air stairs down.
When it was explained to the hijacker that the plane could not take off with the air stairs down, he re- portedly said in a low voice, "Yes they can, but the cockpit can put it down after they get airborne. "
On July 26, 1972, advised that if the hi- jacker was a member of, or had consulted with a member of the Boeing Test Team, he would have known that the 727 could not have taken off with the air stairs down, nor would it have be been | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=54 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

1& INDORSER :unselected: AM UNABLE TO EVALUATE THIS OFFICER FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON:
CPT Countryman has shown a definite improvement in performance of duty during the past few months. He has begun to take the initiative whenever discrepancies are dis- covered in his unit and install procedures which will prevent their recurrence. His unit has improved significantly in overall proficiency to the point that it is consider ed a satisfactory unit as compared to the unsatisfactory rating for the first few months he was commanding. CPT Countryman is a reserve officer who has never been on active duty and he does not possess the experience necessary to function efficiency as a. Captain in the U.S. Army. However, CPT Countryman has made great strides in adjusting and adapting to Army life in the past few months, and he has shown an awareness as to the responsibilities and the functions of an Army officer. I feel that if he continu to improve and apply himself, as he has in the past few months, he should bo votained on active duty after completion of his present commitment. | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=81 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

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 black hair and sunglasses and wearing a dark suit handed her a ; note.
Thinking he was just looking for a date, she stuck the note in her pocket. Then he ordered: "Look at it-now!"
As she read the note her eyes -widened in horror. It said simply: "I have a bomb in my briefcase."
Seeing the shock on her face, another stewardess, Tina Muck- low, hurried over. | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=279 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

This man has a very bad temper but doesn't look like it. I am afraid of him or I would give you my name and address. His hair is not black but brown and light but looks exactly like picture of sketches of D. B. Cooper.

PHILIP never adopted JONES and JONES is his true name, although he always used the last name of RACKSTRAW in school and when he went into the Army.
She realizes that a murder warrant has been issued against JONES for the murder of stepfather, but she will await the verdict of the court before deciding as to his guilt.
She denied any knowledge that ROBERT is identical to "D . B. COOPER", but she recalled that during the fall of 1971, ROBERT was just "floating around" because he was being sought on some fraud warrant out of Alabama. (Houston County, Dothan, Alabama) He intentionally did not keep his exact whereabouts known to his family.
She realizes D. B. COOPER had a knowledge of navigation and of parachuting and ROBERT is highly skilled at both. She believed he received his commercial flying license some time inthe fall of 1971, because at Christmas, 1971.
She recalled that it was about this time that he worked for some real estate firm in the Los Angeles area and part of his work was the promotion of some land in Oregon, back in an area so remote that there were no roads and ROBERT had to fly prospects in there to see the land. | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=307 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

I pointed out that this is an on-going investigation which has gone into the background of almost 950 suspects with approximately 910 of them being cleared and that this information is contained in almost 100 volumes of files.
He implied that we had fully cooperated with other news media representatives in this matter to which I replied that insofar as I was concerned, we had given all of the representatives about the same information. I also brought to his attention the fact that the last time the FBI had cooperated with "60 Minutes", one of the narrators had in- sisted on an interview with CLARENCE M. KELLEY, the then Director of the FBI, immediately after he had suffered a great personal tragedy. I commented that this interview was supposed to summarize Mr. KELLEY's thoughts on the Bureau, the changes which he had instituted, morale, etc., and that after granting the interview, which covered a period of about 2 hours (actual time believed to be closer to 4 hours), not one second | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=435 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

I told that in my opinion, his program lost a lot of credibility among Bureau personnel because of such action. At that point, he jokingly held his hands up as if in surrender and indicated that he had nothing to do with that particular program.
I further pointed out to that no matter how much "60 minutes" wished to theorize, take things out of context, "voice over-ride" my statements or any other Bureau representative, it was in their power to either make us look good or bad on this investigation and that we had no recourse or platform to publicly rebutt any misquotes, incorrect in- ferences, etc. I noted, however, that the bottom line, inso- far as this or any other investigation in which the Bureau is involved, is to be able to prove or disprove either a suspect is or is not identical with the Unsub and that if we release all of our "Identifiers" to the general public through the news media, it becomes virtually impossible to prove the | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf#page=435 | cooper_d_b_part041.pdf |

For the information of the Portland Division, RACKSTRAW has been suggested as a suspect in this matter because he resembles the artist's composite of Unsub, and because of his military background particularly his paratrooper training.
