Title: NORJAK; CAA - HIJACKING

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

---

Synopsis: To set lead for Special Projects Section to conduct aging of original composites of subject Cooper.

Enclosures: Enclosed for the Special Project Section are two color copies of a composite sketch prepared by the Exhibits Section, Administrative Division, dated 1/2/1973, one depicting subject in dark glasses. Also enclosed is a synopsis of captioned event to include subject's physical description and age as of the date of the hijacking, 11/24/1971.

---

Details: Above-referenced telcalls with SSA[REDACTED] Special Projects, has indicated that aging of these photographs should be possible. A review of the case subfile concerning this sketch has determined that the original sketches were maintained by the Exhibits Sections under Bureau file number 164-2111. These sketches, although not the first prepared by the Exhibits Section for this case, were determined to be the best likeness of subject Cooper.

DOJ and the Seattle U.S. Attorney's Office have recently reaffirmed that the statute of limitations in this crime is infinite due to hijacking being a capital offense in 1971. Captioned matter remains the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. It is anticipated that the original sketch and aged sketch will receive nationwide media attention as several networks, including ABC and the Discovery Channel are apparently planning to once again run presentations on this case.
