Details: Over the years, over one thousand possible subjects meriting subfiles 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. Although it is very likely that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's.
