Where Is D.B. Cooper? And Where Is The Cash?
PORTLAND (UPI) -- It's Thanksgiving time and thoughts around here not only turn to turkey, pumpkin pie and football, but also to D.B. Cooper, history's first and only successful parachuting sky bandit. Where is he and where did he stash the cash?
Three years ago on Thanksgiving eve Cooper went aboard a Northwest Orient Airlines flight in Portland for a short hop to Seattle. The plane wasn't airborne much more than five minutes when one of the more bizarre crimes in history was committed.
Cooper, threatening to set off an explosive device, demanded and got $200,000 in $20 bills de- livered, along with three parachutes, to the plane in Seattle. Then after allowing the passengers to debark, he ordered the crew to fly the 727 to Reno, Nev., following a course down the western sector of Washington and Oregon before cutting across the mountains on a direct flight to Reno. Somewhere in route he bailed out via the tail exit. No trace of Cooper or the money ever was found.
It set off a chain of similar skyjackings that changed the face of air travel throughout the world. [illegible] But only Cooper beat the law at taking the money and jumping. The law still is looking for him.
"The case is an active one, not only here but through the United States," said Julius Mattson, agent in charge of the FBI Portland office. "We're still getting leads," he said, "but not quite as heavy as we were. The case still is in the public mind and when the public thinks of it, it also thinks of us."
"There really has been no substantive development. The work now is mostly eliminating possibilities, proving or disproving tips offered.
"Not one of the $20 bills has turned up anywhere."
Cooper apparently strapped the money to his body for the jump. A theory that he may have fallen into Lake Merwin east of Woodland in Southwest Washington about 30 miles north of Portland could not be proved.
