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.

No Trace of Skyjacker's Parachutes
WOODLAND, Wash. (AP). -- Authorities hiked through rural woodlands seeking traces of a parachuting airline hijacker for the third day Sat- urday. But again they report- ed no clues.
The hijacker is believed to have bailed out over the 15- square mile search area Wednesday night after hijack- ing the Northwest Airlines jet at Seattle. He had demanded and received four parachutes and $200,000 ransom.
"We're concentrating our search for a parachute," said Tom Manning, FBI agent co- ordinating the search. "We think this will give us a clue as to what happened to the hi- jacker.
"We've determined the hi- jacker was wearing a sport- type back-pack parachute," Manning said. "That means it would be difficult for him to maneuver if he had any kind of bulk on him at all and we've been told $200,000 weighs over 20 pounds."
Authorities earlier said the ransom, largest ever paid a hijacker in the United States, was in $20 bills.
