[guess: to] D. B. Cooper disappearance
FBI hopes hunters may find clues
The FBI is hopeful that one of several thousand deer hunters beating the brush in Cowlitz and Clark counties this fall may run across evidence of D.B. Cooper (or whatever his name is) who parachuted out of a jetliner nearly a year ago with about 40 pounds of $20 bills.
The State Game Department is cooperating with the FBI and will distribute thousands of form letters asking hunters for their help and outlining what to look for.
J. E. Milnes, special agent in charge at Seattle, asks hunters or campers to contact the FBI if any of the following is noticed:
(1) The remains of a man, possibly dead for one year. (2) The remnants of a parachute, harness or parachute shroud lines. (3) Ten thousand $20 bills wrapped in a parachute canopy. The serial numbers are known and can be identified. (4) Deteriorated raincoat or overcoat. (5) Small briefcase or attache case.
Tom Manning, special FBI agent in Longview, urged anyone having any information concerning this matter to report to the nearest FBI office or call the Seattle office collect, MA2-0460.
The area where the search is being concentrated is bound on the west by Interstate Highway 5, on the south by the Columbia River, on the north by the Kalama River, and on the east by the Skamania-Clark county line.

DB Cooper-22372
Views of News (continued from Page 1) nearly a year ago. The FBI clings to the belief that skyjacker "Cooper" parachuted from a Northwest Airlines jet with 40 pounds in $20 bills somewhere in the rugged Lewis River drainage country. Because none of the $20 bills have turned up anywhere in the country, the FBI thinks the money and perhaps Cooper's remains are somewhere in far eastern Cowlitz County or northern Clark County. The bureau has spent thousands of dollars and employed the services of hundreds of Army troops in massive searches of the terrain around Merwin and Yale Lakes. They turned up noth- ing. "Cooper" is the only skyjacker who has never been caught or identified. That bothers the FBI and so it dogged- ly continues to search for its man. It will keep after the case until either "Cooper" or the money or both are found. Such determination is one rea- son the FBI is such a successful law enforcement agency. They just keep working at their cases until they are solved.
