What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

COOPER MONEY
VANCOUVER, WASH. (AP) -- THE CRUMBLING REMAINS OF $20 BILLS UNEARTHED BY A VANCOUVER FAMILY MORE THAN TWO WEEKS AGO REPRESENT ABOUT $5,800 OF THE $200,000 TAKEN BY SKYJACKER D.B. COOPER IN 1971, THE FBI SAYS.
RAY MATHIS, SENIOR AGENT FROM THE BUREAU'S SEATTLE OFFICE, SAID WEDNESDAY THAT OFFICIALS COUNTED THE DECAYING GREENBACKS DURING FBI LABORATORY TESTS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
OTIS COX OF THE BUREAU'S WASHINGTON, D.C., OFFICE CONFIRMED THAT THE COUNT WAS MADE, BUT SAID LITTLE ELSE HAS BEEN REVEALED ABOUT THE MONEY. LAB TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO STUDY THE LOOT, PARTICULARLY FOR EVIDENCE OF WHERE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEFORE IT WASHED UP ON THE BANKS OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER, OTIS SAID.
THOUGH LUMPY WADS OF THE MONEY WERE FOUND BURIED BENEATH A SHALLOW COVER OF SAND, COOPER, AMERICA'S FIRST SKYJACKER-FOR-MONEY, HAS NEVER BEEN LOCATED. AUTHORITIES TEND TO BELIEVE HE IS DEAD, BUT ACKNOWLEDGE THEY DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
