UNKNOWN SUBJECT; Also Known As Dan Cooper, D. B. Cooper
On November 24, 1971, unknown subject boarded United Airlines Flight 305 scheduled to fly from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, using the name of Dan Cooper. Unknown subject displayed to a stewardess aboard the flight a black attache case which was said to contain a bomb. Unknown subject, the hijacker, requested $200,000.00 and two parachutes.
At the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, hijacker was provided with four parachutes and $200,000.00 in $20.00 bills and a canvas bank bag.
The plane departed the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with three crew members in the cabin and a stewardess in the rear of the plane with the hijacker. Within minutes after takeoff at 7:36 p.m., the hijacker had the stewardess show him how to lower the steps and he then ordered her to go to the first class section which she did. At 8:05 p.m., the captain was in touch with the hijacker by the intercom. This was the last communication he had with the hijacker. Just prior to this communication, the captain had a signal indicating that the stairs had been lowered. At 8:12 p.m., the captain experienced "oscillation" in the plane and thought perhaps the hijacker had departed the plane.
