A phone tipster who would insist on remaining anonymous reached a special agent in the FBI’s Little Rock office in the summer of 1972. The caller, the resulting investigative report stated, said a man there “with a propensity for overspending” was D.B. Cooper. “Suspect described as white male American, five ft ten, one seventy-five, light complexion, light hair, heavy cigarette smoker, jolly attitude.” Needless to say, he’d have good reason to be jolly if he had parachuted out of a Boeing 727 in the dead of night with $200,000 in ransom and lived to not tell about it. But the FBI ultimately decided the suspect, whose name is redacted in the official report, wasn’t their man. The memo comes from the declassified D.B. Cooper case files Part 113, released on Jan. 6. That’s 391 more pages from the FBI investigation into the Nov. 24, 1971, hijacking of Northwest Orient Flight 305 out of Portland.
