Lewis Maintains Position On 'D.B. Cooper' Case
By DENISE KALETTE Sun Staff Writer
William "Jack" Lewis, who has been repeatedly questioned by the FBI in connection with a federal investigation of the "D. B. Cooper" hijacking case, said today that his "whole sup- position remains the same." "But," Lewis added, "there's no way in the world I'll be able, to contact this guy" at the pres- ent.
Lewis said he feels he may know who the hijacker is, "but I've got no proof and until I have proof I can't name any- body."
That hijacking of a Boeing 727 took place Nov. 24 and net- ted a skyjacker $200,000. The skyjacker parachuted from the plane after it took off from Se- attle, headed toward Reno.
Lewis said he would be sitting in the office of his attorney, Curtis Coons, at 9:30 a.m. Mon- day.
Coons has been in California; and he has not been in contact with him recently, he said.
"When he gets back to his office, I will sit down and try to explain the whole thing to him," Lewis said. "I don't real- ly know what to do until I talk to my attorney."
Lewis, who has been in con- tact with other news media this week, said he is "talking to the press" because "I want them to take my comments and not suppositions on what the FBI is talking to me about."
He said FBI officials "went through each long distance call I've ever made in the last six months." They have been ques- tioning friends and associates of his, also, Lewis said.
He said the Seattle business- man questioned this week was a friend of his. "They drug him out of a restaurant in the middle of a meal and drug him in for questioning. The guy had noth- ing to do with it."
"Well, hell, if this guy (Coop- er) ever was gonna give me a handful of money to invest for him, Christ, now he never will. He'll be out to Timbuktu by now and I don't blame him if he is."
Lewis said FBI officials in- formed him of his rights Wed- nesday, and that they have not questioned him since.
