UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

TO : [REDACTED] SAC, SEATTLE (164-81) DATE: 6/28/79 FROM : [REDACTED] SAC, PORTLAND (164-41) (P) SUBJECT: NORJAK (OO: Seattle) Bufile 164-2111

For information of Seattle, on 5/29/79, [REDACTED], Lewis River News, Woodland, Washington, telephonically contacted the Portland Office to furnish the following information:

Since the hijacker in this matter parachuted from the Northwest Orient airliner in the vicinity of Woodland, Washington, his newspaper has monitored the investigation and the readers have followed it with interest. He wondered whether there had been any recent developments in the investigation, and he was advised that investigation was continuing to identify and process logical suspects.

---

[REDACTED] advised that he understood there was a discrepancy between the name "D. B. COOPER" by which UNSUB is generally known and the name "DAN COOPER" by which UNSUB was also known. The reason for this discrepancy, which was an error in reporting made by an Associated Press reporter on the night of the hijacking, was explained to [REDACTED].

---

[REDACTED] then advised that recently a crude homemade gravestone had been discovered in a Woodland cemetery. This gravestone was made of concrete, and had the name "D. B. COOPER" scratched into it. The gravestone did not mark an actual grave, and was obviously merely a prank.

The above is for information of the Seattle Division.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
