AIRTEL AIRMAIL

TO: ACTING, DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2111) AND SAC, NORFOLK (164-41)

FROM: SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) (P)

SUBJECT: NORJAK (OO:SE)

The following background information is being provided to the Norfolk Division: Unsub had with him prior to the time he jumped the following:

A. Parachute Back Pack B. Parachute Chest Pack C. Briefcase or attache case D. Dark overcoat E. A 4x12x14 paper bag F. A pair of dark slip-on shoes. G. Wrap around sunglasses with dark rims. H. 10,000 $20 bills.

Since none of the above was found when the plane was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him, or discarded some of them prior to jumping.

The above-described attache case supposedly con- tained a bomb. It is believed Unsub threw this attache case from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping, it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after 7:42 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24, 1971. The plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles during this time.
