While the hijacking was in progress on the evening of 11/24/71, it was established that a DAN COOPER had boarded the flight at Portland, but was not among the passengers who deplaned at Seattle.
As a result, the name "DAN COOPER" was checked through the Bureau indices, which revealed an Identification Record for a [REDACTED] FBI Number [REDACTED] born in [REDACTED] Washington, with an arrest on [REDACTED] in b6 [REDACTED] for [REDACTED] b7C
In checking on suspect [REDACTED] that evening, the Portland Division advised that he definitely had been eliminated. A police officer of The Dalles, Oregon Police Department, visited him in The Dalles, and definitely identified him as the above [REDACTED] and the fact was noted that he could not have been on the plane since he was at The Dalles.
There was no FBI release to the press concerning the above suspect, but the press coverage in Oregon, and in the State of Washington was so intense, it may have be- come known to the press, that the above [REDACTED] b6 was contacted by a police officer b7C
