Standard FBI teletype transmittal form header (FD-36), dated December 4, 1971, marked URGENT, transmitted in PLAINTEXT via TELETYPE. Routing and subject line for FBI teletype. Sent from SAC Seattle to Director FBI, SAC Minneapolis, SAC Butte, and SAC Portland regarding the UNSUB aka Dan Cooper, Northwest Airlines Flight 305 hijacking on November 24, 1971. Body of teletype summarizing progress on resolving a suspect. Multiple witnesses reviewed suspect photos but could not positively identify. One witness noted ears stand out too much and face is too round but would not give a definitive yes or no. Another witness requested better glossy photos, which are being flown out. A stewardess in Minneapolis also reviewed the photo. Heavy FOIA redactions (b6/b7C) obscure suspect name, witness names, and other identifying details. Note: 'WITNEBSES' appears to be a typo for 'WITNESSES' in the original document. Transmission routing and approval block showing times sent to Washington (8:57), Minneapolis (9:10), Butte (9:16), and Portland (9:25 PM). Approved by Special Agent in Charge. Document reference number DB Cooper-3327.
