Leads concerning suspects will not be set forth in this report as they are being handled by separate com- munication.
There are currently 637 suspects, 470 of whom have been eliminated. New suspects are being developed and systematic elimination of these suspects continues.
In an effort to facilitate interoffice communi- cations, it is requested that all field offices originating NORJAK communications, not only refer to the appropriate communications but also include the suspect(s) name and alias(es) if known on the first page under the title NORJAK.
For the information of all field offices, the Bureau advised by airtel September 15, 1972, that this is the only aircraft hijacking in which the subject has not been identified and apprehended nor the ransom money recovered. All leads in this important case are to be set forth expeditiously. The investigation of this case is to be vigorously pursued in all facets in order to bring it to a successful completion.
It is noted that the investigative period overlaps previous NORJAK reports. This has been done since previous reports were not distributed to all field offices.
It is noted that Unsub in this matter is almost universally called "D. B. COOPER" by the press, the public, and even by Bureau personnel. Factually, there is no basis for this alias. As a possible explanation for the existence of the alias "D. B. COOPER" the following sequence of events is offered:
While the hijacking was in progress on the evening of November 24, 1971, it was established that a [REDACTED] had boarded the flight at Portland, but was not among the passengers who deplaned at Seattle.
As a result, the name [REDACTED] was checked through the Bureau indices, which revealed an Identification Record for a DANIEL BARRY COOPER, FBI Number [REDACTED], born in [REDACTED] with an [REDACTED] in [REDACTED]
