Facts of Complaint

[REDACTED] called to report that about two years after the 1971 skyjacking, he and three friends were fishing on Rife Lake near Mossy Rock, Washington. He advised that he hooked a box about fourteen inches square, tied in both directions with what appeared to be white nylon rope. As they attempted to pull the box into the boat his line broke and the box sunk to the bottom of the lake. At that point by the lake, the shore line consists of a cliff and other land that is very rugged. [REDACTED] reported that one of his friends noticed what appeared to be a parachute in a tree by the cliff. The next day he went to the Lewis County S.O. and reported what they saw. He stated that they just ignored him or didn't take him seriously.

[REDACTED] stated that he suspects the box, because of it's weight, and location (Rife Lake is formed by a dam that backs up the Cowlitz River) might contain Cooper's money. He stated that he is reporting this to us now because he just heard a news report that the lake is at it's lowest point in years and recovering the box should be easy. Indices negative on [REDACTED]
