Have they found D.B. Cooper? FBI probing whether 1971 murder suspect is the elusive hijacker
by Joshua Cooper Ramo. Times staff reporter
The FBI is investigating the possibility that a man recently arrested in the 1971 slayings of his family in New Jersey is the famed hijacker known as D.B. Cooper.
John List, who was arrested in Richmond, Va., earlier this month "may be a suspect, and we are investigating that now," said FBI spokesman Jon Eyer in Seattle. However, the prosecutor handling the List case in New Jersey said he doubts any connection.
"The D.B. Cooper link? Aw, come on!" said assistant Union County prosecutor Robert O'Leary. There is absolutely no evidence now to suggest that there is any link between the two.
Cooper hijacked a plane flying from Portland to Seattle on Thanksgiving Day, 1971 — 15 days after List allegedly murdered his mother, wife and three children.
Cooper wrote a note to a stewardess saying he had a bomb. When the plane landed in Seattle, Cooper asked for $200,000 and four parachutes. Once in the air and bound for Mexico, Cooper donned a parachute and jumped from the plane somewhere near Mount St. Helens.
The only trace found — $5,800 of the money that washed ashore on a sand bar on [guess: the] Columbia River in February 19[illegible]
When he was arrested June List was living under the alias Robert Clark. The arrest [guess: came] after "America's Most Wanted"

COOPER continued from B1
a television show that features unsolved crimes, aired a program on List on May 21.
List allegedly murdered his family on Nov. 9, 1971. According to police, he then fled New Jersey and resurfaced six years later in Denver as Clark. There, he worked as an accountant for a box-manufacturing company and married again. In 1988, List and his new wife moved to Virginia, where he took a job at a local accounting firm.
Eyer said the recent tip in the Cooper case is only the latest in a series that the FBI has investigated.
List's lawyer in Richmond, Va., told The Associated Press he also doubts a List-D.B. Cooper connection.
"I have heard that," said David Baugh. "But I also heard that Elvis is living in Detroit now. I put those two together."
