UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum
TO : ALL AGENTS (#75) DATE: 11/26/71
FROM : SAC J.E. MILNES
SUBJECT: UNKNOWN SUBJECT; NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT #305, PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, 11/24/71 CAA - HIJACKING; EXTORTION OO: SEATTLE
---
The following information is being furnished for the assistance of all Agents in covering any leads which might be assigned to them and to properly evaluate any information which might be received from a citizen.
The UNKNOWN SUBJECT apparently boarded the above captioned flight at Portland, Oregon, and since the only person who was not available for interview when the plane arrived in Seattle, was a DAN COOPER, who boarded at Portland, ti is assumed this is the name used by the subject.
Shortly after the plane left Portland, the UNSUB approached Stewardess [REDACTED] and gave her a note telling that the plane was being hijacked. UNKNOWN SUBJECT retrieved that note. [REDACTED] then told Stewardess [REDACTED] who thereafter sat with the subject and transmitted his instructions to the Captain.
When he first announced the hijacking, the UNSUB asked for two parachutes. He later changed his instructions and asked for four parachutes, two back chutes and two chest chutes, plus the $200,000.00. Further, the subject wanted everything collected at SEA-TAC Airport before he would allow the plane to land and he wanted all this done by 5:00 PM. The plane circled SEA-TAC Airport for approximately 1½ hours during which time the parachutes and money was collected and brought to the Airport.
The plane landed at SEA-TAC at approximately 5:45 PM and after the subject knew the money was being brought to him and the gas trucks were at hand, he allowed all the passengers as well as the other two stewardesses to leave the aircraft. [REDACTED] was ordered to remain and he had her bring the parachutes, money, etc., into the aircraft to him.
