EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED THUS FAR HAS NOT DEVELOPED INFORMATION RE IDENTITY OF SUSPECT NOR HAVE IN SPITE OF EXTENSIVE CIRCULARIZATION ANY OF THE BILLS PAID TO HIJACKER SHOWED UP. THROUGH DETAILED ANALYSIS OF FLIGHT LOGS, TIME AND FLIGHT PATH BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES, U. S. AIR FORCE, TOGETHER WITH SIMULATION OF FLIGHT CONDITIONS BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES USING ACTUAL AIRPLANE USED IN HIJACKING, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT VERY LIKELY UNSUB LEFT THE PLANE AT SITE NEAR VICINITY OF LA CENTER, WASH. AT APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TWELVE P.M. ON NIGHT IN QUESTION. APPROXIMATE SITE OF DROP, ALLOWING FOR DRIFT THROUGH WIND AND DELAY OF OPENING PARACHUTE, ESTABLISHES THAT UNSUB VERY LIKELY CAME DOWN SOMEWHERE IN A WOODED AREA APPROXIMATELY THREE AND ONE HALF MILES WIDE AND SIX MILES LONG. SOME OF AREA HAS BEEN CLEARED, OTHER PARTS HAVE SECOND GROWTH TIMBER, AND BALANCE VIRGIN TIMBER, A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE BY FOOT. I PERSONALLY HAVE TRAVERSED THIS AREA AND FEEL IT IS POSSIBLE TO THOROUGHLY SEARCH AREA BY SUBSTANTIAL FORCE OF MEN IN EFFORT TO LOCATE BODY OF UNSUB IF HE DID NOT MAKE A SUCCESSFUL JUMP.
