Paper claims hijack talk
SEATTLE (UPI) —The Seattle flag, a biweekly newspaper just five editions old, has published what it asserts was a transcript of a taped interview with hijacker-extortionist "D. B. Cooper." The newspaper said in Monday's edition it paid $1,000 for the interview conducted by an anonymous "ordinary looking man of 20 years plus" and signed "an agreement of confidentiality." Part of the agreement, said the Flag, required destruction of the tape after transcription. Asked about the Flag report, special FBI Agent J. Earl Milnes at Seattle said, "We have absolutely no comment."
D. B. Cooper was the name used by the man who hijacked a Northwest Airlines 727 on a Seattle to Portland, Ore., flight last Nov. 24. The hijacker extorted $200,000 from the airline, then ordered the plane to fly from Seattle to Reno at 10,000 feet altitude. The hijacker escaped by parachute during the Seattle-Reno flight. The newspaper, staffed primarily by persons in their 20s, said it agreed to buy the interview after the anonymous reporter showed a photograph of a $20 bill which had a serial number identified as among those in the marked bundle of $20 bills given to "Cooper."
