FBI calls off search for more hijack money
The FBI has, at least temporarily, called off its search along the Columbia River for more of the money obtained eight years ago by the airplane hijacker who used the name Dan Cooper.
Jack Pringle, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle office, said the search was called off late Thursday night after several days of sand sifting produced no new evidence. The Seattle office has coordinated
search efforts in the Cooper caper, the only unresolved hijacking on record since it occurred in 1971.
Pringle said search efforts might be renewed next week, after the results of laboratory tests are received on the sev- eral thousand dollars in badly decayed $20 bill fragments found by a picnick- ing family Sunday about nine miles downstream from Vancouver.
He said there was a chance the tests "could find additional debris that might give us an idea where (the money) may have been" before it washed onto the river bank.
A geologist serving as consultant to the FBI has said he believes the money had spent most of the past eight years underwater and was deposited on the sandy beach only within the past year.
The Northwest Airlines plane was hijacked between Portland and Seattle by a man who said he had a bomb. The hijacker obtained $200,000 in $20 bills when the plane landed in Seattle and then parachuted with the money over Southwest Washington.
The bills found Sunday represented the first trace of the hijacker or money since the Thanksgiving Eve hijack oc- curred.
