Ariel has party for D.B. Cooper
ARIEL, Cowlitz County -- (UPI) -- Hundreds of people showed up yesterday at the Ariel Tavern for the third annual D.B. Cooper Party -- some from as far away as Cleveland and Toronto -- and maybe, just maybe, one of the guests was the skyjacker himself. "We're not sure," said Germaine Tricola, who along with her husband Vince owns the tavern and adjoining grocery store. "I've been looking them all over in the face. But, by golly, I don't know." Seven years ago, on a foggy Thanksgiving eve, a man got $200,000 in ransom from Northwest Airlines after threatening to blow up a Boeing 727 on a flight from Portland to Seattle. The suspect, listed as D.B. Cooper on the passenger log, parachuted out of the plane over Southwestern Washington and neither he nor the marked $20 bills have been seen since. It is the only unsolved skyjacking in this country. In honor of Cooper's leap, four parachutists had planned to land right in front of the Ariel Tavern yesterday. Because of the fog, a not uncommon occurrence around Ariel, the jump had to be made a mile away. Ariel, an unincorporated town on the Lewis River, is located in rugged country about 10 miles east of Woodland. "This is not a concrete jungle," said Mrs. Tricola, "this is fir trees and many, many caves. If you come through here in the fog, there's a very mysterious feeling. "Most everyone, they seem to think Cooper got away. Some say he's sitting up on a mountain looking down at us. The worst thing I heard is that the Sasquatch got him." At least one person at the party claimed to be D.B. Cooper. "One man (at the party) named Cooper said he used his 200 thousand for a hair transplant," said Mrs. Tricola. "He was about the right age, had a thin jaw line. . . ."
