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.

Title: NORJAK; CAA - Hijacking
---
Synopsis: To outline current status of DNA Project and reassign DNA subfile.
Reference: SE 164A-81 Serial 9393
Details: Major long term violent crimes cases in the past have clearly shown that the ultimate person charged/convicted had been previously contacted early in the investigation. This case is the only unresolved hijacking in U.S. history. The investigation is not bound by a statute of limitations, as hijacking was then a capital offense.
Referenced serial outlined a three step investigative plan to address the DNA profile that was recently obtained from an item belonging to the hijacker. As part of this plan it is essential to review each of the 1,057 subject subfiles opened in this matter so as to locate possible candidates for DNA comparison.
Step one, entry and comparison of the DNA profile into the CODIS system has been completed with negative results.
Step two, review of each subject subfile has been partially completed. 501 of the 1,057 subfiles have been reviewed by SA [REDACTED] (1-500, and subfile 1055). Five of these subfiles were selected for DNA followup based on criteria developed by SA [REDACTED]. This criteria included, the strength of the initial reason for opening subject, how or if the subject was eliminated, how well the subject could match characteristics of

the UNSUB, receipt of any recent additional information concerning the particular subject, and other considerations.
Step three, setting of DNA recovery leads for those identified (five so far) have been set and is reflected in SUB DNA.
It is essential that the remaining 556 subfiles be reviewed as soon as possible to identify additional DNA comparison candidates. Due to the passage of time, many of these subjects will now be in their 70's, some are deceased. Prior to review of these subfiles, a detailed working knowledge of this case must be achieved.
