Suspect may be D.B. Cooper
SAN DIEGO -- (AP) -- The [F.] B. I. says it is investigating [wh]ether a man arrested here for an [Or]egon bank holdup may actually [be] D. B. Cooper, the first successful [pa]rachuting skyjacker. [A]rvid Julius Kiperts, 41, of Port[la]nd, was arrested Monday in San [Die]go's Ocean Beach area and or[de]red jailed in lieu of $150,000 bond. [Co]oper was the name used by a [ma]n who parachuted over Southwest [Wa]shington from a commercial jet which he had hijacked on Thanksgiving eve, 1971. To his chest was strapped $200,000 in ransom. Cooper was never arrested and none of the money, whose serial numbers had been recorded, has turned up. The F. B. I. said Kiperts, charged with an October 29 robbery at the King City, Ore., Savings & Loan Co., is suspected of 15 other Oregon bank robberies since 1970. Julius Mattson, the F. B. I. special agent at Por[t]- land, said a possible link with Cooper was discovered at one of those 15 bank holdups. Mattson said the incident took place in December 1971 while a Wilsonville, Ore., bank was being robbed. Arrangements are being made to show a photograph of Kiperts to the crew of the hijacked plane, an F. B. I. official said. He said Kiperts roughly matches the description given of the hijacker.
