Title: UNKNOWN SUBJECT; NORTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT #350, PORTLAND, OREGON, TO SEATTLE, WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 24, 1971
Character: CRIME ABOARD AIRCRAFT - HIJACKING; EXTORTION
Synopsis: On November 24, 1971, a white male skyjacked a Northwest Airlines Flight from Portland to Seattle. The hijacker demanded and received $200,000 and four para-chutes upon landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. After receiving the ransom money, the hijacker allowed the passengers to leave. The plane then took off for Reno and at 8:11 p.m. a pressure oscillation was noted by the plane's crew. That pressure oscillation was probably caused by the hijacker leaving the aircraft. Search of the aircraft at Reno revealed the hijacker was not in the plane when it landed. Extensive searches of the area into which the hijacker would have landed failed to locate the hijacker or any evidence of value. The initial black and white artist composite drawing of the hijacker was changed to a color sketch to more accurately reflect the hijacker's age and swarthy complexion.
