Synopsis: Reference telecal to SA [REDACTED] 6/9/2000. To set lead for forwarding to Laboratory of human skull allegedly found on a bank of the Columbia River.

Details: For the information of Omaha, on June 8, 2000 Seattle was contacted by [REDACTED] Pierce County SO concerning a human skull that might be related to captioned case. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] advised that he had received a fax from the Police Chief in Cozad, Nebraska who related the following: A female resident of Cozad, name unknown, has recently died. Family members had long ago discounted a story she had related about finding a human skull along the Columbia River in Washington State in the mid- 1980's. However, a inventory of her residence by family members recently located a nearly intact human skull.

Captioned case involves the hijacking of a Northwest Airlines flight between Portland and Seattle on 11/24/1971. The subject jumped from the aircraft carrying $200,000 in ransom money and two parachutes in southern Washington State. This case remains the only unsolved aircraft hijacking in U.S. history. In February, 1980 a portion of the money was found deposited along the Columbia River.

It is unknown as to the specific location from where this skull was retrieved, and if this evidenced remains that could have come from captioned case, or merely ancient remains or those from an unrelated death.
