Teletype routing header from Las Vegas FBI field office (file 164-60) to Director FBI, Seattle, and Portland, sent urgently on November 25, 1971. Subject line identifying the case: unknown subject (UNSUB) on Northwest Flight 305, November 24, 1971; classified as CAA-Hijacking and Extortion. Las Vegas field office reports finding two parachutes on the aircraft. The chest pack is identified as number two with a pink canopy (differing from the Seattle teletype description). The back pack is also identified as number two with a white canopy. Latent prints were obtained during aircraft processing and will be forwarded to the Bureau on November 26 via AMSD-RM. FAA Reno advises the aircraft and crew departed Reno, Nevada at 11:02 AM on November 25 en route to Seattle to unload baggage, ETA unknown. Elimination prints of the crew are needed and should be obtained and forwarded to the Bureau. Closing block of the teletype with routing codes, FBI Seattle receipt stamp dated November 25, 1971, file number 164-F1-6, and handwritten annotations including what appears to be a name (possibly Harrell) and references to Minneapolis handling.
