TO : DIRECTOR, FBI (164-2111) FROM : SAC, SEATTLE (164A-81) (P) SUBJECT: NORJAK OO: SEATTLE

NORJAK Suspects at Start of 1989: 1,003 NORJAK Suspects at End of 1989: 1,041 Number of Suspects Processed and Eliminated During the Year: 24

Occasionally, suspects are reopened because new evidence indicates a "second look" is warranted. One suspect that received national press coverage was JOHN EMIL LIST (Suspect 203).

LIST was considered a suspect because he became a fugitive 15 days prior to NORJAK. He matches the general description of UNSUB, also known as DAN COOPER. He killed his family partially because he was despondent over monetary problems. He served in the military and may have had airborne training.

The Newark Division advised by airtel dated 7/24/89, that a review of LIST's U.S. Army records reflect no receipt by LIST of airborne training. A review of suspect File 203 reflected that LIST's photograph has been displayed to the three victim stewardesses. All three stated that LIST was not identical to UNSUB.

No further investigation will be conducted by Seattle concerning JOHN EMIL LIST.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS
