D. B. Cooper disappearance

FBI hopes hunters may find clues

The FBI is hopeful that one of several thousand deer hunters beating the brush in Cowlitz and Clark counties this fall may run across evidence of D.B. Cooper (or whatever his name is) who parachuted out of a jetliner nearly a year ago with about 40 pounds of $20 bills.

The State Game Department is cooperating with the FBI and will distribute thousands of form letters asking hunters for their help and outlining what to look for.

J. E. Milnes, special agent in charge at Seattle, asks hunters or campers to contact the FBI if any of the following is noticed:

(1) The remains of a man, possibly dead for one year. (2) The remnants of a parachute, harness or parachute shroud lines. (3) Ten thousand $20 bills wrapped in a parachute canopy. The serial numbers are known and can be identified. (4) Deteriorated raincoat or over-coat. (5) Small briefcase or attache case.

Tom Manning, special FBI agent in Longview, urged anyone having any information concerning this matter to report to the nearest FBI office or call the Seattle office collect, MA2-0460.

The area where the search is being concentrated is bound on the west by Interstate Highway 5, on the south by the Columbia River, on the north by the Kalama River, and on the east by the Skamania-Clark county line.
