Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan DB Cooper-4503
In reference to the recent hijacking committed by (D. Cooper) I've been reading various news articles and I believe I've discovered something of value. Consider the enclosed news- paper clippings. There is a definite resemblance between the photo of John E. List and the artist conception of D. Cooper.
It would seem that Mr. List has the type of grooming, background and intelligence that has been described by witnesses in the hijacking incident. Also, Mr. List would have the motive because if he were killed during the hijacking, he would have nothing to lose since he had already murdered his family. It is suspected in both cases that each man has left the country.
