What does the scan show?
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.

Details: To set leads for the Laboratory, DNA1, and Latent Fingerprint Unit.
This case remains the only unsolved hijacking in the United States, and is commonly referred to as the "D.B. Cooper" investigation.
Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects have been processed by Seattle with the assistance of virtually every Field Division. Most were quickly eliminated, some required extensive investigation to eliminate, some remained of interest and could not be included or excluded through normal means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. As this was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has advised that no statute of limitations exists.

Above items were provided by [REDACTED] DUANE LORIN WEBER (deceased). [REDACTED] has long held that WEBER told her on his deathbed that he hijacked referenced flight.
---
Laboratory, DNA1 is requested to extract DNA from any of the items numbered 1-15 deemed suitable and compare to DNA retrieved under referenced Laboratory number. Latent Fingerprint Section is requested to retrieve latents from item 16, and from 1-15 (after DNA collection). DNA collection is the priority with items 1-15. Any latents developed should be compared with the known fingerprints of DUANE LORIN WEBER, FBI#3552803. Upon completion forward all submitted items directly to Jacksonville Division, Attention [REDACTED] Pensacola RA, for return.
