On November 24, 1971, a Northwest Orient Airliner was hijacked enroute from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. The hijacker diverted the aircraft to Reno, Nevada but parachuted from the plane after extorting $200,000.00 in cash from the airline. Investigation revealed the possibility of a D.B. Cooper as being the hijacker.

This office learned of a Darryl Bruce Cooper who now resides at 2649 Walker Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana (phone 317-7044 [illegible]) and is employed by the Glenn Container Corporation of America there. He is considered [a/as] suspect because of physical description, past Boeing employment, past residence in the area, name similarity and criminal history.

Suspect's full name is Darryl Bruce Cooper, white, male, American, 6 ft., 150 lbs., DOB 8-2-[illegible]. He has been employed by Boeing Airplane Company in Everett, Washington in the wind tunnel section, has lived in Carson City and Reno, Nevada. On September 25, 1963, he was arrested, by Seattle Police on Grand Larceny by check, ($2,525.00) and placed on probation.

Request the following be established:

Subject's location on November 23, 24, 25, and 26, 1971 and verify beyond doubt.

Interview suspect at residence or other than place of employ- ment and fix beyond doubt his location from November 23 to November 26, 1971.
