PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- An 8-year-old boy has uncovered part of a ransom missing since the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history -- but officials say the whereabouts of the legendary sky pirate D.B. Cooper are still a matter of conjecture.
The three bundles of weathered $20 bills found along the Columbia River are the first evidence uncovered since Thanksgiving eve, 1971, when Cooper bailed out of a jet over southwestern Washington with $200,000 tied to his waist.

Polk County Sheriff Louie Mims said Tuesday that corrections officers Bill Corbet, [guess: 21], of Lakeland, Gene Teske, 21, of Fort Meade and 44-year-old James Reynolds were given the option of submitting resignations or being fired for falsifying information on their employment applications.
