2 charged in plot to impersonate 'D. B. Cooper'
United Press International
Seattle, Wash. Two men were arrested by FBI agents Tuesday on charges of trying to bilk a magazine editor by selling him a fake interview with parachuting skyjacker "D. B. Cooper" for $30,000.
William J. Lewis, 33, Silverdale, Wash., and Donald S. Murphy, 49, Bremerton, Wash., were charged with conspiracy to defraud Karl P. Fleming, a former contributing editor of Newsweek magazine.
The suspects were arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Charles Schaaf who set bail at $50,000 for Lewis and $8,000 for Murphy.
The charges said that Lewis responded to newspaper advertisements placed by Fleming who said he wanted to contact "Cooper" for a confidential interview. "D. B. Cooper" was the name given by a man who hijacked a Northwest Airlines jetliner last Thanksgiving Eve and extorted $200,000 in marked currency. Cooper then parachuted from the plane on a flight between Seattle and Reno, Nev. He never has been found.
