FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
1 Date 12/1/71
[REDACTED] residence [REDACTED] [REDACTED], was interviewed at the Reno Airport, Re[no], Nevada, on the late evening of November 24, 1971, and early morning hours of November 25, 1971. He [REDACTED] on Northwest Airlines Flight 305.
[REDACTED] advised that according to some notes he had made concerning the incident, it was at 2759 Zulu time or 3:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time that he received an emergency signal from hostess [REDACTED] on the intercom with a series of bells signaling that they had trouble on board. They had a pre-arranged flight signal for such emergencies and he made a notation in his book of the time of this notification.
Almost immediately thereafter, he received a note from [REDACTED] advising she thought they were being hijacked and added she was not kidding.
Subsequently, hostess [REDACTED] brought a note on what appeared to be a standard 6 x 9 tablet written with a felt pen as well as an envelope that had notations also containing the figure $200,000, two back parachutes, two chest packs and under it a time of 5:00 p.m.
Hostess [REDACTED] then went back to the compartment and sat with the hijacker at which time he insisted that all of the above items be physically present and waiting for them at the Seattle Airport upon their arrival and prior to their landing.
[REDACTED] received the impression that the above hijacking had been carefully thought out in advance in that the hijacker specified that the money was to be furnished in a knapsack and even insisted that a discarded match cover be returned to him. He also insisted on the return of the [illegible] original note and the envelope and appeared especially careful to see that nothing of his was left behind.
