Standard FBI FD-36 teletype transmittal form header dated December 2, 1971, sent via TELETYPE with NITEL priority in plaintext code 009. Routing information for a teletype from SAC Seattle to SAC Albuquerque regarding the NORJAK case — the hijacking and extortion involving Northwest Airlines Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle on November 24, 1971. A source states that a subject, described as a white male with brown hair and medium complexion, physically resembles the artist conception of the UNSUB in the D.B. Cooper hijacking case. The subject is believed to be located somewhere in New Mexico. Heavy redactions obscure the source identity, subject name, age, and specific location details. Instructions to Albuquerque field office to conduct a logical investigation at a redacted New Mexico location to locate the subject and establish his whereabouts at the time of the hijacking. If unsuccessful, a secondary investigation should be conducted in Albuquerque since the subject is believed to have worked there during a redacted time period. Handwritten annotation shows a case sub-file number. Approval and transmittal line showing the teletype was drafted by agent with initials MRM, typed by slb, approved by the Special Agent in Charge, and sent at 7:34 PM via OCA. Document is numbered DB Cooper-2779 in the FBI Vault collection.
