To: Seattle

From: Seattle Squad 5 Contact: SA [REDACTED]

Case ID #: SE 164A-81-9463 (Pending)

Title: UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER; NORJAK CAA - HIJACKING

---

Synopsis: To set lead to Tacoma RA to interview unknown local couple who are represented through [REDACTED] regarding their knowledge about the case.

Enclosures: A case information sheet is enclosed. A copy of the FD-71 dated 07/06/2006 taken by the Tacoma RA is also attached.

Details: The hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft with $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. This case remains the only unresolved airplane hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is likely that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would be in his mid-70's. Hijacking was a capital offense at the time and DOJ recently advised that no statute of limitations exists.

Due to the extensive and counterproductive media coverage that, in some cases, may result from contacts with witnesses, all offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with leads.

Tacoma should contact [REDACTED] [REDACTED] to facilitate the interview of the unknown couple.
