TO : FILE (164-81) DATE: 11/26/71

FROM : SAC, SEATTLE

SUBJECT: UNSUB; NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT 305 PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION OO: SEATTLE

On 11/26/71 SAC CAMPBELL from Las Vegas, advised that when they entered the airplane there was an open para- chute in the plane, draped over one of the seats in the vicinity where the hijacker was located, which parachute was (white.)

Examination of this parachute reveals there was no drogue chute on it.

The stewardess on the plane when interviewed said that the hijacker was upset when the money was not delivered in a knapsack. As a result she saw him wrap this money in some white material.

SAC CAMPBELL speculates that the money was wrapped in the drogue chute. He advised that the second parachute in the plane is a backpack, which has never been opened. It is pink and it is being taken to the National Guard in Reno at once to see if it is in workable condition.
