Standard FBI teletype transmission form header, FD-36, dated November 29, 1971, sent via teletype with urgent priority in plaintext. Routing information for the teletype from Portland FBI office to Seattle FBI office, regarding the UNSUB (unknown subject) on Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Portland to Seattle, November 24, 1971, classified as a hijacking and extortion case with Seattle as the office of origin. Portland Police received a telephone call from Chief of Police Joe May of Woodland, Washington, reporting that an individual from Portland, Oregon appeared in Woodland and told the chief that someone in Portland resembled the composite sketch of the unknown hijacking subject. Portland indices, Portland Police Department records, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office records, and DLR (Driver License Records) in Salem, Oregon were checked with negative results. DMV records showed the individual's address in Portland, Oregon, as registered owner of a 1968 Dodge Valiant. Bottom section contains distribution notation (4 copies to Portland), drafter initials KBM:pjb, handwritten approval date 11/29/71, Special Agent in Charge approval signature, filing stamps showing case number 164-81-218, a received stamp dated November 29, 1971, handwritten filing notes referencing 12/6/71, and the Vault page identifier DB Cooper-2049.
