There was something not right, in the primeval night, there were thumps, bumps, and the clumping of feet. When the morning mist cleared, and the story of D. B. was known, Thanksgiving was here, and the story of D. B. was known. The hills of Clark County, swarmed with hunters for bounty, and the seeds of a legend were sown. It spread near and far. In the taverns and bars, was repeated with relish and glee, Might you ever suppose, the woods will disclose, the bones of a man called D. B .? "
A review of Seattle file also discloses the report of a story which appeared in the 3/19/72 issue of the Los Angeles Times newspapers "West" magazine, wherein a song entitled "The Ballad of D. B. Cooper" appears along with the lyrics and its entirety. It is unknown whether the"Ballad of D. B. Cooper" and "A Ballad to the Man Called D. B. Cooper" are identical.

In the second paragraph, it is stated that, "Within two weeks the Bureau will send a letter to indicating the results of the comparison." This two week period could possibly create difficulty in getting the fingerprints to the Identification Division and compared within this time. indicated that he based this time period on information which had previously been furnished to him by persons he had contacted in connection with the investigation and his purpose for including this time period is that he desires the results as quickly as possible.
Paragraph three states in part, " ... the Bureau agrees to place no restrictions legal or other upon :selected: relative b6 b7c

It has been explained that the FBI will in no way inter fer with the publication of his book and that obviously an identification of the subject would be a great benefit for him in marketing his book. He has stated, however, that because of his attorney's advice, he desires to have an agreement signed prior to making the fingerprints available.

THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

The warrant for Ingram's arrest was filed last month, after Pittsburg County District Attorney Don Roberts recognized newspaper photos of Ingram that circulated nationwide in the wake of his family's discovery of a portion of D.B. Cooper's loot.
Cooper parachuted into a freezing rainstorm over Southwest Washington with $200,000 after hijacking a Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane Nov. 24, 1971.

THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the

She was unable to furnish the address where Maze resided during that year, but she noted who currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona, visited Maze in San Diego during that time and she would know. :unselected: continued, Maze had received a less than honorable discharge from the United States Army during World War II for being a "neurotic". :unselected: related that in 1970, Maze made a down payment on a hotel in the southern section of the state of Washington, near the state border.

She continued, in 1972, Maze paid off the debt owed on the hotel and he later sold it prior to his death. She noted the person or persons who bought the hotel are currently making payments on the debt to Maze's estate for which who resides in Phoenix, . Arizona, collects the payments and distributes the payments among
added, Maze did not have any savings or means of income and it puzzled members of the family as to how Maze could purchase the hotel and live so well.

She also related Maze exercised and took care of his health, having quit drinking for approximately eight years. She noted in 1972, although approximately 57 years of age, he looked about 35 years old in appearance.

:unselected: advised she has papers and photographs stored away and if she locates anything which would be of further value to the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning Maze, she will contact the interviewing Agent and 'furnish it to him.
In conclusion she stated in her judgment, the composite picture she identified is a picture of John Scott Maze, and Maze's complexion was even more tan than the complexion depicted in the colored composites when she last saw Maze in person in 1972.

THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.

When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

Washington, on November 24, 1971. I further understand that you have located fingerprints of this individual. If you will make these fingerprints available to this agency, they will be for- warded to our Identification Division where they will be compared with latent impressions that were located on the skyjacked air- craft. In the event the Identification Division is unable to identify the fingerprints you submit as identical with the latent impressions from the aircraft, you will be advised by letter, within five business days of completion of the examination. This letter will be sent to you by registered mail, at the above address. A copy will also be sent to your attorney,

If an identification is not made it may be because your fingerprints and the latent impressions are not from the same individual or because the fingerprints you submit or impres- sions from the aircraft are from different portions of the same hands and therefore are not comparable.
