PORT OF SEATTLE OFFICER'S REPORT

At approximately 1030 hours this date while on duty at "C" Checkpoint, a man came up to the Scanray who looked very familiar to R/O. The first thing that caught my eye was his hair, and I thought it was D. B. Cooper who hijacked Northwest Airlines flight 305 on 11-24-71. The description I got from looking at him was as follows: approximately 6' tall, 170 lbs., black hair (receding), W/M/A, age in 40's, olive complexion, wearing a brown suit and carrying a briefcase approximately 14" long, 10" high and 4" wide. When he arrived at the checkpoint the first thing he did was put out a cigarette in the ash can. He looked at me and immediately turned his head. The description of subject on composite is as follows: W/M, middle 40's, 5' 10" to 6', 170 - 180 lbs., dark brown or black hair, heavy smoker, wearing black or brown suit, carrying brief case.

After I had been relieved on the checkpoint, I came up to the office to see if we had a picture of subject and none could be found. I went back to the detectives' office and asked [REDACTED] and he said he would recognize him if he saw him. We both then went down to C-6 and they were boarding the flight. [REDACTED] said that it was very close resemblance. We stood so that as they were walking to the gate we could get a face-on view and when he saw us, he put his boarding pass under his nose to hide his mouth. We let him board and I then contacted FAA and gave them the information and they took over.
