Aboard the airliner, FBI agents recovered 66 unidentified latent fingerprints,[4] Cooper's black clip-on tie and mother of pearl tie clip, and two of the four parachutes,[37] one of which had been opened and two shroud lines cut from its canopy.[38] Eyewitnesses in Portland, Seattle and Reno, and all individuals who personally interacted with Cooper, were interrogated. A series of composite sketches was developed.[39]

Local police and FBI agents immediately began questioning possible suspects. One of the first was an Oregon man with a minor police record named D.B. Cooper, contacted by Portland police on the off-chance that the hijacker had used his real name, or the same alias in a previous crime. His involvement was quickly ruled out; but an inexperienced wire service reporter (Clyde Jabin of UPI by most accounts,[40] Joe Frazier of AP by others[41]), rushing to meet an imminent deadline, confused the eliminated suspect's name with the pseudonym used by the hijacker. The mistake was picked up and repeated by numerous other media sources, and the moniker "D.B. Cooper" became lodged in the public's collective memory.[35]
