Journal Completes 'Cooper' Bill Listing
The Journal in this edition reproduces the last of the official FBI list of serial numbers of $20 bills that dis- appeared with the hijacker known as D.B. or Dan Coop- er when he parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines jet Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, between Seattle and Reno. He extorted $200,000 from the airline that night as ran- som for the release of the passengers and some of the crew of the jet he originally hijacked just after it left Portland for Seattle.
To date, neither Cooper nor the money has shown up. The Journal last Nov. 22 offered to pay $1,000 for the first of the missing $20 bills to be turned in to the news- paper or to any FBI office in the nation. The offer trig- gered requests from all parts of the country, by telephone and letter, for copies of the list of serial numbers that the newspaper has been pub- lishing in installments.
In checking bills in their possession, many people have come close to matching them with the serial num- bers of the missing currency, but so far none of the money Cooper took has been re- covered.
Many readers have pre- pared their own booklets from the newspaper listings and with this edition those readers will have complete copies of the official docu- ment prepared by the FBI and heretofore distributed mainly to financial institu- tions.
Persons who are missing key editions of The Journal may order them from the Circulation Department by telephoning 221-8240 or writ- ing to The Journal, 1320 SW Broadway, Portland, Ore. 97201. For people who are outside of the normal circu- lation area of the newspaper, check with the nearest FBI office for permission to in- spect a copy of the list there.
