Attorney Tony Savage representing Murphy, saint Heming and Palevsky "got themselves in this spot_"
"Mr. Fleming is going to wind up a fool or a cheat, regardless of the verdict, and I suspect he'd prefer the former," Savage said.
He said Palevsky was angered at being sub- poenaed to testify at the trial because "he doesn't: want to get involved, he- cause he wanted to keep his skirts clean."
Palevsky last werk dropped his support of Fleming's newspaper, LA, causing it to suspend pub- lication.
Fleming said Palevsky was angered at him for not informing him that he; would have to appear at. the trial, an appearance that caused him to defer a trip to Europe.
Asked if this was thei reason Palevsky dropped this support for the news-i maper, Fleming repliery that it also could be "he- cause these proceedings have revealed I'm a pretty stupid guy.'

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 appropriate communications but also include the suspect(s) name and alias(es) if known on the first page under the title NORJAK.
For the information of all field offices, the Bureau advised by airtel September 15, 1972, that this is the only aircraft hijacking in which the subject has not been identified and apprehended nor the ransom money recovered. All leads in this important case are to be set forth expeditiously. The investigation of this case is to be vigorously pursued in all facets in order to bring it to a successful completion.
It is noted that the investigative period overlaps previous NORJAK reports. This has been done since previous reports were not distributed to all field offices.
It is noted that Unsub in this matter is almost universally called "D. | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf#page=284 | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf |
file-cooper_d_b_part060_pdf-636F6F7065725F645F625F706172743036302E706466-page-375 | Several sport parachutists have advised that a sport parachutist possesses an emotional ' attachment to his parachute and probably would not jump from an aircraft with anyone else's chute, nor would they jump with a chute they had not packed themselves.
The hijacker was furnished a parachute that opens quickly, has a high rate of descent, and one that was not steerable.
3. The hijacker was furnished two front parachutes, commonly called chest packs which are to be used in an emergency when the back pack parachute or main parachute fails to open properly. The chest pack parachute the hijacker took with him was a dummy parachute. It was designed for lectures to demon- strate to new parachutists the proper method of opening a chest pack parachute. It is felt' an experienced sports para- chutist would probably have noticed this defect.
4. Unsub's age has been described as mid 40's and it is noted that the average age in most sport parachute clubs is mid 20's. If Unsub was a member of a sport parachute club he would certainly be an unusual member, one that would be easily recognized by the other members, as well as one that was well known because of his unusual age. | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf#page=292 | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf |

DB Cooper-24995
b6 b7CSE 164-81
On 1/6/72, the NWA 727 which was actually involved. . in the hijacking, was flown to Seattle, by for the purpose of conducting a test to see if the "pressure bump" experienced during the hijacking, was caused by some- thing leaving the aircraft.
The conclusion from that test was that the cabin pressure change occurred when the stairs were forced upward by the air pressure after the weight had been removed. according to
who was a member of the hijacked crew, and also a member of the crew when the test was performed, the occurrence was identical with the incident on the night of the hijack. Also the instrument in the cabin which reacted so violently on the night of the hijacking, also reacted the same way when the test was performed.
based on . the test flight above, then prepared a memo showing the steps by which he arrived at the best probable bail out point of the hijacker, and plotted this area on a map. | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf#page=310 | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf |

It was noted that in getting into the thicket and under- brush growth, it was so heavy that even if an item was five yards from the observer, it could easily be missed due to overgrowth problems. The area covered in this physical terrain search was 1 '1/2 miles long and 2/3 of a mile wide and took approximately five hours. Negative results in the search.
DB Cooper-25005SE 164-81
FIRST TERRAIN SEARCH
The purpose of the first terrain search was to search for possible evidence left behind by Unsub and to find the remains of Unsub assuming he made an unsuccessful jump. The first terrain search commenced at 2:00 PM on March 21, 1972 with 218 Army troops including officers, 20 Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and 9 helicopters. The area to be searched covered approxi- mately 25 square miles.
Due to snowfall in search area on March 25, 1972, the search was temporarily held up. | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf#page=320 | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf |

"After landing in Great Falls, Montana, the man accepted $50,000 ransom. The plane took off, landed again at Great . Falls, and the man let the passengers to unharmed. But, he ordered the plane with its five-member crew to take off again. Indecision on the part of the hijacker led the plane back and forth across the border before he ap -. parently decided to jump.

"Flight 812 made its first landing at Great Falls after the hijacker had taken over 40 miles west of Winnipeg, Manitoba. There it was refueled and the $50,000 was handed to the hijacker by a policewoman. The money was raised by bankers as the plane circled the city for two hours.

"Right after landing in Calgary the man was whisked away by ambulance.
"Earlier the man had extracted $50,000 ransom for the release of the passengers and most of the crew dur- ing the second time it landed at Great Falls.
""The guy was wearing a mask and holding what appeared to be dynamite and a sawed-off shotgun,' an Air Canada spokesman said in Montreal.
"The hyjacker first demanded $1.5 million ransom and a flight to Ireland. After hijacking the plane fol- lowing a stop here; he ordered it to Great Falls where a policewoman carried two suitcases- with $50,000 to the cock- pit and they were raised by a rope :selected:
"The hijacker then ordered the plane to fly to Regina, Sask., where he said the passengers would be released, but after a half hour, the plane returned to Great Falls and the passengers were released there.

Since none of the above was found when the plane was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him, or discarded some of them prior to jumping.
The above-described attache .case supposedly contained a bomb. It is believed Unsub' threw this attache case from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping, it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after 7:42 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24, 1971. The plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles during this time.
The items could possibly be lodged in thickly wooded, mountainous terrain. The search area would cover a strip of land approximately 87 miles long by one-half mile wide. It has been suggested that infrared photography might possibly indicate non-living material, such as an attache case, in a darker shade than living material, thereby enabling the case to be found using infrared high resolution photography.
Since Unsub. possibly discarded the attache case prior to jumping, he could not have buried or hidden it. | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf#page=341 | cooper_d_b_part060.pdf |

Dear Sir:
I telephoned SA to report possible relationship between the sky-jack between Reno and Portland or Seattle about le to 2 years ago, wherein the sky-jacker made a successful get-away with $250,000 (as nearly as I can recall) and has not been identified or located, and the sadistic rapist in San Francisco a week ago.

About là years ago, in Fresno, I had some business with who mentioned that he formerly made frequent airplane trips between Reno and Portland and Seattle, and on several of these flights he became acquainted with a person, known to him as who apparently made frequent flights, knew the country "like the back of his hand, " and

(Under the United-Capital formula, an employe must carry the virtually impossible burden of showing that his change in employment was caused "solely" by the merger and no other cause.)
(2) A change in the compensation for a displaced employe to include average compensation during the base period plus "subsequent wage increases" for the duration of the protection per- iod. (United-Capital excluded all such increases.)
(3) A change in the base period used for determining average compen-
sation to the one-year period "imme- diately prior to (the employe's) dis- placement" rather than one year prior to the merger as under the United- Capital provisions.
(4) An extension of the protec- tive provisions'coverage to all em- ployes whose job status may be changed by a carrier's rearranging of its work force in anticipation of a merger regardless of the date on which such a rearrangement actually takes place. | cooper_d_b_part020.pdf#page=225 | cooper_d_b_part020.pdf |

D. B. COOPER ENTHUSIAST PLANS TO CONTINUE SEARCH
PORTLAND, Dar. (UPI) _ A FORMER FBI AGENT, FASCINATED BY THE 11-YEAR-OLD LEGEND OF SKYJACKER D. B. COOPER, PLANS TO SEARCH THE COLUMBIA RIVER WHERE HE BELIEVES THE STILL MISSING COOPER LEFT SOME OF HIS $200, 000 RANSOM.
RICHARD TOSAW ALSO HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH FOUR BROTHERS WHO OWN FARM LAND WEST OF PORTLAND TO SEARCH AN AREA IN WHICH PART OF THE $200, 000 RANSOM PAID BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES ON THANKSGIVING EVE 1971 WAS FOUND.
AN 8-YEAR-OLD BOY PICNICKING WITH HIS FAMILY ON A BEACH ON THE FAZIO BROS. PROPERTY FOUND ROTTING PACKETS CONTAINING $5,800 IN $20 BILLS, THE ONLY MONEY RECOVERED FROM THE SKYJACKING.
TOSAW, A CERES, CALIF. , PROBATE ATTORNEY WRITING A BOOK ON THE SKYJACKING, WANTS TO START SEARCHING Nov. 24 _ THE 11TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY A MAN USING THE NAME COOPER BAILED OUT OF A NORTHWEST BOEING 727 WITH THE | cooper_d_b_part007.pdf#page=10 | cooper_d_b_part007.pdf |

"NOT A THING'' WAS FOUND THURSDAY AS AGENTS FINISHED SIFTING THE SANDS ON THE NORTHERN BANK OF THE RIVER, SAID JACK PRINGLE, ASSISTANT AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE SEATTLE OFFICE.
"'THEY REALLY HAVE NO FURTHER PLACES TO SEARCH'' THE BEACH; PRINGLE SAID. IN ADDITION, HE NOTED THE AREA WAS COVERED BY A FRESH SNOWFALL ...
HE SAID ANY DECISION ON EXTENDING OR MOVING THE SEARCH' TO OTHER AREAS WOULD NOT BE MADE UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK.
KEN MOORE, THE SEATTLE AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE DIGGING, SAID THE MONEY PROBABLY WAS WASHED DOWNSTREAM INTO THE COLUMBIA, MOST LIKELY FROM THE WASHOUGAL RIVER OR FROM ONE OF SEVERAL SMALLER STREAMS IN THE AREA IN WHICH COOPER PROBABLY LANDED.
"TOURISTS WHO WANT TO LOOK FOR MORE COOPER MONEY PROBABLY SHOULD LOOK ON THE WASHOUGAL RIVER,'' MOORE SAID.
THE FBI SAID A GEOLOGIST HAD CONCLUDED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS FOUND SUNDAY BY A YOUNG BOY HAD BEEN DEPOSITED ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER BEACH AFTER 1974.
THE SEARCH BEGAN TUESDAY THREE MILES SOUTHWEST OF VANCOUVER AFTER A COMPARISON OF SERIAL NUMBERS CONFIRMED THE BOY'S FIND WAS PART OF THE COOPER RANSOM. | cooper_d_b_part007.pdf#page=20 | cooper_d_b_part007.pdf |

THE SEARCH BEGAN TUESDAY THREE MILES SOUTHWEST OF VANCOUVER AFTER A COMPARISON OF SERIAL NUMBERS CONFIRMED THE BOY'S FIND WAS PART OF THE COOPER RANSOM. ADDITIONAL SCRAPS OF MONEY WERE FOUND ON WEDNESDAY.
NO TRACE.OF COOPER, THE FIRST PERSON TO HIJACK AN BIRLINER FOR MONEY, HAS BEEN FOUND.
FBI AGENTS HAD BELIEVED HE PARACHUTED FROM THE PLANE ABOUT 20 MILES NORTHEAST OF WHERE THE CRUMBLED AND WEATHERED BILLS WERE FOUND.
HOWEVER, MOORE SAID IT WAS UNLIKELY THAT THE BILLS HAD WASHED DOWN THE LEWIS RIVER AND THEN BEEN PUSHED UP THE COLUMBIA BY TIDAL ACTION "THERE IS NOTHING INFALLIBLE ABOUT OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF WHERE HE LANDED, PRINGLE SAID. "BECAUSE OF STRONG WIND CURRENTS AND DO&JA URROABLES WE COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE OFF IN OUR. ORIGINAL ESTIMATES. ~ 1980

In geologist's opinion 'Cooper' money spent 8
By LESLIE L. ZAITZ of The Oregonian staff
At least some of the cash from "Dan Cooper's" 1971 escapade has spent much of the past eight years under wa- ter and only recently was washed up on the Columbia River bank where it was found Sunday, according to a geologist assisting the FBI.
Leonard Palmer, a Portland State University geologist, reached that con- clusion after examining the river bank nine miles northwest of Vancouver, Wash., where a family building a camp- fire found three packets of badly deteri- orated $20 bills. | cooper_d_b_part046.pdf#page=81 | cooper_d_b_part046.pdf |
