F.B.I. says remains aren't D.B. Cooper's

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Human skeletal remains found in a rough section of Southwest Washington are those of a teen-age girl and not the bones of D.B. Cooper, the airline hijacker, said Federal Bureau of Investigation officials yesterday. Special Agent John Pringle said Dr. Arch Hamilton, Clark County coroner, determined the skull found near the western boundary of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest belonged to a young girl. Pringle said the girl's age or identity has not been determined. The skull and other bones were found Sunday by Jack Bannister, of Yacolt, Clark County, and his son, Jack, as they were panning for gold about five miles from Yacolt, according to the Clark County sheriff's office. While the sheriff's office said it didn't think the bones belonged to the famed hijacker, speculation had run high that the skull was Coo- per's because it was found in the general area where Cooper bailed out of a plane with $200,000. Cooper hijacked the plane in Seattle in November, 1971, after pick- ing up $200,000 and bailed out somewhere over Southwestern Washington. No trace of Cooper had been found until a 8-year-old boy found some of the $20 bills along the Columbia River two weeks ago.
