On the premise that Unsub parachuted successfully into the previously calculated area of Southwest Washington, it is speculated he would have buried the ransom money and his parachute and then hiked to the nearest road or highway. From there, he would most probably have walked to the nearest phone to call a friend or relative for the purpose of being picked up.
Since all the homes in the drop area were checked and no strangers were reported in the area on 11/24-25/71, all the pay phones surrounding the calculated drop area within reasonable walking distance (ie 15 miles) were checked for long distance phone calls; (long distance is the only type of call which records can be obtained). A list was compiled of the numbers called from the pay phones on 11/24/71 and 11/25/71.
The records are not time correlated, however, based on the fact that the weather was cold and rainy during this period and the skyjacker jumped at approximately 8:11 PM on 11/24/71, more significance can be placed on calls made during the end of the day on 11/24/71 or during the beginning of the day on 11/25/71.
The names of all subscribers called during the above-mentioned time period were checked against NORJAK indices with negative results.
The Seattle file review currently in progress at Seattle continues. The purpose of this review is to determine if any new information of lead value can be developed. This review consists of an intensive serial by serial, subject by subject analyzation.
This file review, which commenced 8/3/72, has accomplished the following:
1. An intensive investigation has been conducted of the Boeing personnel involved in the 727 air stairs test with negative results.
2. A new color sketch has been made and disseminated. The purpose of the change to color was to shown Unsub's age and complexion more accurately.
3. Information concerning this matter has been made available to hunters during the 1972 and 1973 hunting seasons. All results to date have been negative, however, the remains of JAMES ANNIS, a hunter lost just prior to NORJAK, were found in the drop area as a direct result of this publicity.
