FBI reported hunting bald hijack suspect
BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — An authoritative source has indicated that a man sought by the FBI in connection with the Dan Cooper case is bald-headed, the Bremerton Sun has re- ported.
Cooper was the name used by a hijacker who comman- deered a Northwest Airlines jet last Thanksgiving eve, then apparently bailed out between Seattle and Reno, Nev., after being given $200,000 and four parachutes. The hijacker originally was described as having short, dark hair.
Several businessmen in Bremerton, including the manager of a wig shop, have reported being contacted by the FBI during the past week and asked to identify a man from photographs. One pho- tograph showed a man with a wig and the other pictured the same man without a hairpiece, the wig shop man- ager said.
She said the FBI told her the man resembled the hi- jacker.
The FBI has refused to comment on the reports.
