Re Atlanta airtel to Seattle dated 7/23/79 and Atlanta airtel to Seattle dated 11/20/79.

Enclosed are four artist's composits, two black and white and two color, depicting the NORJAC unknown subject, also known as D. B. Cooper, with and without glasses.

Crime

On 11/22/71, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 p. m., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his briefcase contained a bomb, which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safey of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed in Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received his parachutes and money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
