PRESS INQUIRY
Arthur G. Barger, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the State of Oregon, announced today the $20 bills located on a sandy beach near Vancouver, Washington, on February 10, 1980, and verified as a portion of the ransom money given to the hijacker of a 727 jetliner at Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, has been examined by the Laboratory Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The results of the examination place the amount recovered at approximately $5800. As expected, no fingerprints were present on the bills. The examination reveals that the bills had, in fact, been immersed in water for an extended period and silt deposits among the bills indicate a probability that they were washed onto the site where they were found rather than having been dredged from the Columbia River.
