What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Title: UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER; NORJAK CAA - HIJACKING
---
ARMED AND DANGEROUS
Synopsis: To set additional leads for investigation and collection of DNA samples for submission to the Laboratory, DNA 1. This case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United States, and is commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" investigation. Items collected should be forwarded directly to the Laboratory, DNA 1, Attention [REDACTED]. The EC should be uploaded to SE 164A-81-DNA. Due to the nature of this particular San Francisco lead, Seattle requests it be assigned to an experienced Agent.

Enclosures: For each receiving office is one case information sheet. Enclosed for San Francisco, Santa Rosa RA, are copies of various serials related to previous investigation of SHERIDAN PETERSON, 1050 Third Street, #701E, Santa Rosa, CA.

Details: Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects meriting subfiles have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated, some required extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained of interest and could not be included or excluded through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. Although it is very likely that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's.
