Over the years, there have been many D.B. Cooper sketches. There’s the Bing Crosby sketch, released shortly after the hijacking; the one that followed that; the aged depiction of Cooper; all are different in their own ways, have merit in their own ways, and were based on the recollection of three witnesses: Stewardesses Tina Mucklow, Florence Schaffner, and Alice Hancock, who worked in first class.
One witness, however, that was not interviewed by Bureau artists was Robert Gregory, owner of a paint company in Seattle, who sat directly across from the hijacker in row 18. While stewardesses Mucklow and Schaffner were closest to the hijacker and Mucklow spent the longest time with him, Gregory was the most detailed and specific in his observations, according to the Bureau case files.
For instance, Gregory noticed the sunglasses the hijacker was wearing had “horned-rims” and the suit jacket the hijacker was wearing had “wide lapels.” Working with paints, Gregory was likely an expert in picking out colors. According to the Cooper case files, Gregory believed the hijacker’s suit was not black or brown as had been suggested, but was a different shade entirely: “russet.”
Most critically, Gregory described the hijacker’s hair in a very specific way: “Marcelled,” an old French style of creating curls with hot irons. The observation of “marcelled” hair is critical in the case because stewardesses’ Mucklow and Schaffner described the hijacker’s hair as straight. There was one witness though who did back up Gregory’s claim of curly hair: Alice Hancock, the first class stew, who described the hijacker’s hair as “wavy.”
Attached is a new sketch of the hijacker, the “Gregory” sketch, designed as a supplement to the other Cooper sketches out there, and composed by the talented illustrator John Burgoyne. To read more about the sketch and recent Cooper news,
