'Cooper' Bill Reward Offered
The Journal, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is publishing the complete list of serial numbers of 10,000 $20 bills paid to the man identified as "D.B. Cooper" Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, in return for the release of passengers and some stewardesses of a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 jet he hijacked out of Portland. Because of the enormity of the task, the list of serial numbers will be published in installments. The first grouping of numbers is at the left. There are 34 pages of numbers in the FBI's official list and each of these pages will be reproduced by The Journal. Readers can clip and mount the reproductions on notebook paper and create their own copies of the official list. The currency paid to Cooper was collected in a few short hours in the Seattle area that night two years ago while the hijacked jetliner waited on a runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and airline and law enforcement officials negotiated for release of passengers and some crew members. The money was all in $20 Federal Reserve notes. It disappeared with Cooper when he parachuted from the rear stairs of the jetliner between Seattle and Reno. Banks and other financial institutions have had copies of the list of serial numbers since it was first prepared by the FBI shortly after the air piracy occurred. This is the first time that the list has been made available to the public. "The series year for the bills, if known, is shown after the serial numbers." Readers are requested to examine all $20 bills now in their possession or which hereafter come into their possession to ascertain whether they have any of the missing ransom money. The Journal will pay $1,000 for the first $20 bill from that ransom money that is turned in either to the newspaper or to the FBI. Check the list of serial numbers published in this and subsequent editions of the newspaper. You may have one of the missing bills.
