Details: Captioned case is described in the enclosed synopsis. It remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. Recently a letter was received in Seattle from Bossier City, Louisiana Attorney [REDACTED] advised he was contacted by an individual who could identify the subject in this case who used the alias DAN COOPER at the time of the hijacking. [REDACTED] inquired as to the existence of a reward for this information.
New Orleans should be aware that many people who contact Seattle have studied media accounts of this crime over the years and may base their 'knowledge' on these accounts, which are frequently in error. This case has appeared on the Discovery Channel again recently and is continually rerun on Unsolved Mysteries. Seattle filters these responses based on a process developed over the years, and sets relatively few investigative leads. Due to this offense being a capital crime in 1971, DOJ has advised no statute of limitations exists. In addition, a 'John Doe' indictment was returned in 1976.
Any information of significance that leads to the identification of the UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER, could result in the
