Leads are not being set out in this report but rather are being set out by separate communications.
The FBI Laboratory advised by communication dated 4/19/74 as follows:
It should be noted that this crime was committed on 11/24/71. Due to the amount of time that has passed since that date, the value of any further hair comparisons is very limited.
San Francisco Division advised by communication dated 1/2/74 as follows:
U. S. Parachute Associa- tion, Monterey, California, has advised his office staff is rather small and his own work schedule usually crowded and therefore, he would prefer checks of his records be limited to those suspects on whom he might provide worthwhile infor- mation. | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf#page=249 | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf |

DETAILS:
Investigation to identify Unsub. to date has been negative.
Prior to the hunting season which began in October, 1973, the Seattle Division again disseminated information con- cerning this matter to hunters via the Washington State Game Wardens responsible for the area into which Unsub. parachuted,
At the end of the 1973 hunting season, no positive results were achieved from the leads that were received because of the publicity made available to Pacific Northwest hunters.
On 12/17/73, EARL COSSEY advised that the parachute supplied to Unsub. was made of a white "rip-stop" material in- vented since 1945. Several of the canopies shown to him as. possibly being identical with Unsub.'s parachute were made of a "twill" material manufactured prior to 1945. Further, COSSEY stated, the parachutes supplied to Unsub. were of a nonstearable variety with no stearing devices whatever. | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf#page=251 | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf |

"The plan can be used with or separate from the newspaper's offer to pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill to be turned in that can be verified by the FBI to be part of the money Cooper obtained from Northwest Orient Airlines prior to jumping from a jetliner he had commandeered. It can be used to return the money, enter into negotiations for its returnor to provide information on the whereabouts of the elusive hijacker.
"The 'Secret Witness' plan will enable someone with one or more of the missing bills to surrender the money and still keep his or her identity secret.
"Here is how to use the plan:

"The media had erroneously identified the skyjacker as D. B. rather than Dan Cooper.

"Northwest Airlines, which offered a $25,000 reward for recovery of the ransom, has canceled the offer.

Nothing more was said and never got any information on the $20 bill, location where found (other than very general in dry wash area which is quite large), name of hunter or any other information. las no further information on this.
Only when he (later that day) heard about the parachute being spotted did he feel that he should have found where the $20 was located by the unknown hunter. However he could offer no information other than that set forth above. However in view of the very wide, wild and heavily brushed area and no specific location and also nebulous information set forth above no search of the area appears to be feasible or necessary.

On 12/3/74, an anonymous male caller, loud and possibly elderly, telephonically called the Seattle FBI Office and asked the writer if he was an "authority or a flunky." I gave him my name and position, and he demanded he be connected to a special agent. I asked him what information he had, and he then explained that he tried to talk to SAC JULIUS MATTSON, FBI Pordland, but could not get through to him. He said he will mail us a list of questions in a couple of days, and those questions will deal with captioned matter. He said the crime was a "great thing," and that fifteen people took part in it, not one. He then said he would like to be there when the Victim plane is Esearched by the FBI. He would not explain further.
The caller was asked if he will have his name on the communication, so as to enable the FBI to | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf#page=459 | cooper_d_b_part034.pdf |

For the Portland Division at this point in time to take a non-cooperative posture with the media can only diminish the credibility of this Division's media relations, not to mention the overall Bureau credibility with the media. I am confident that the information released prior to my arrival in the Portland Division and am equally certain that the information released subsequent to my arrival in the Portland Division has in no way invaded the privacy of witnesses or . otherwise had any adverse affect on the prosecutive potential of this case. To the contrary, it has been the notoriety generated by Portland's cooperation with the media that has maintained a steady flow of information coming from the general public. It can be readily understood that the failure to solve this case is not the type of publicity which any individual office of the Bureau as a whole would be soliciting.

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 itens 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. The case would have dropped directly in the flight path of the plane and could possibly be visible from the air. The length of time Unsub would have to throw the case or any other time is limited to 33 minutes, and therefore the area covered is relatively small when compared to the entire | cooper_d_b_part076.pdf#page=118 | cooper_d_b_part076.pdf |

He explained it would be very tedious, cumber- some and expensive to print and publish the list of bait bills if it was an extensive list.

He made available to the writer a paste up sheet which is what is used to set stories, articles etc. in the paper and said this could possibly assist the Bureau in determining size of a page and content.

The Bureau advised by teletype dated 12/17/71 as follows :
"It is expected the Seattle Office will continue to give this matter close supervisory attention and insure investigation is conducted promptly and thoroughly."
In view of this, the enclosed information is being submitted in memorandum form, first for supervisor evaluation and approval prior to being forwarded to the Bureau for approval.
A key witness, was very adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception was not a good likeness of the hijacker. In an FD-302 dated 12/2/71, stated that the coneption was not, in her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out photo #KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that is him, except for the years and hair." She explained that the person depicted in that particular photo closely resembled the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo KK5-1. | cooper_d_b_part027.pdf#page=122 | cooper_d_b_part027.pdf |
file-cooper_d_b_part027_pdf-636F6F7065725F645F625F706172743032372E706466-page-117 |
Witness advised on 11/29/71 the man depicted in artist's composite appears younger than UNSUB actually is.
Stewardess on 11/25/71 advised the man depicted in artist's composite is "too young."
From a review of Seattle report of SA CHARLES E. FARRELL dated 2/16/72, it is apparent that the only witnesses to see UNSUB for any length of time, at a close distance, were the three Northwest Airlines stewardesses. Therefore, their opinions should be given more consideration and any artist's conception of UNSUB should reflect more of their views than those of the other witnesses.
To date 475 suspects have been developed based on appearance, as well as other features. Many of the suspects were developed because of their resemblance to the artist's composite of UNSUB. A great number of these suspects have turned out to be in their 20s or early 30s, with light or fair complexion. According to witnesses, UNSUB's age is in the mid-40s and his complexion is olive or Latin in appearance. The artist's composite clearly looks like a man in his late 20s or 30s and his complexion is difficult to determine from the black and white sketch. | cooper_d_b_part027.pdf#page=123 | cooper_d_b_part027.pdf |
file-cooper_d_b_part027_pdf-636F6F7065725F645F625F706172743032372E706466-page-118 | The artist's composite clearly looks like a man in his late 20s or 30s and his complexion is difficult to determine from the black and white sketch.
Many agent hours are necessary to eliminate a suspect once developed. To investigate a suspect who should never have been considered is inefficient as well as ineffective. Redoing the artist's composite to better approximate the age and complexion of UNSUB should save many fruitless hours of agent investigation time.
In view of the above the following lead is suggested:
A Bureau artist should recontact the three Northwest Airlines stewardesses and amend the current composite to better reflect his age and complexion. The sketch should be done in color showing full face, full face with dark glasses, side profile and a sketch showing the hijackers height and build in a standing position. All sketches should be in color to indicate UNSUB's swarthy complexion.

In fact, the FBI doesn't know to this day if there ever was a Dan Cooper. Hundreds of people reported they knew the man after seeing the posters put out by the FBI.
"We investigate every re- port and so far have proved that the various men report- ed to be Cooper could not have been the man who hi- jacked Flight 305," Mattson said.
"We have no physical evi. dence to go on except the $20. bills. We have circulated the numbers on all 10,000 of them far and wide, but not one has ever turned up," Mattson said.
But the Cooper case is not closed, "not by any means."
Reports are still being inves- tigated, Mattson said.
Are you satisfied he is not hanging from a tree some- where in the Ariel arca?
"No," said Mattson, "the terrain is just too rugged in a couple of places to be thor- oughly searched on the ground, although we have gone over it by helicopter.
"And there is still the pos- sibility he may have landed in Lake Merwin, which is too deep to drag and too deep for skin divers to search. Be- sides its 30 miles long and nearly a mile wide."

Also, WALLACE told BOYNTON that COFFELT knew J. EDGAR HOOVER and HUBERT HUMPHREY. WALLACE told BOYNTON that it is CBS' opinion that the reason the FBI does not consider COFFELT a legitimate suspect and the obvious reluctance to discuss COFFELT of SA RALPH P. HIMMELSBACH and SAC REED of Seattle is because COFFELT is obviously an informant or an asset of some sort of the FBI, and additionally, was a personal friend of J. EDGAR HOOVER and HUBERT HUMPHREY. In effect, WALLACE is accusing the FBI of covering up the COFFELT/ COOPER Relationship.
advised the bottom line, of course, regarding response to WALLACE's accusations is, "How did we positively eliminate COFFELT as being D. B. COOPER?"

Dear
C
In response to your recent letter, please be advised that the Federal Statute of Limitations of five years has been tolled, (stopped from running) , because of a Grand Jury indictment which was returned on November 24, 1976. This means that the hijacker may be prosecuted anytime he is located regardless of the passage of time.
The relative interests of the victim airline and the insurance company are civil matters not within the investigative jurisdiction of this Bureau.
I an sorry to have to inform you that the provisions of the Privacy Act forbid the furnishing of the information you requested concerning a certain individual.
Your interest and concern in this matter are appreciated.
Very truly yours, 1mm ARTHUR G. BARGER Special Agent in Charge

The first, postmarked from Chicago, thanked the Cricket for the invitation. "I won't say I will accept, and I won't say I won't," the writer said. The brief note was signed by Daniel B. Cooper.
The second letter, mailed in Los Angeles, was received late last month after the play opened. Written on the same type of green notepaper with apparently the same typewriter, it was longer and full of grammatical errors.
The writer claimed to have visited Minneapolis to see the play. "The actors and actresses were wonderful," the writer said. "I wish I had known them in my own actual life."
What do you do with two such letters? Copy them and put out a news release, of course.
Another question is whether anybody at the Cricket really believes the letters could be genuine literary products by D.B. Cooper. A spokesman for the theater said Producing Director Bill Semans. "firmly believes" the letters are on the level.
PLAYWRIGHT JOHN Orlock doesn't buy any of it. "I think it was (written by) someone who couldn't resist the challenge," he said. "If perhaps ! | cooper_d_b_part096.pdf#page=241 | cooper_d_b_part096.pdf |
