Cooper' Hijack Link Studied
Associated Press
The FBI said yesterday it is "consider- ing" the possibility that the hijacker who bailed out of an airliner with $500,000 late Friday might be the same man as "D. B. Cooper" who pulled a similar escapade last November.
A massive search for the latest hijack- er—who parachuted from a United Air- Lines 727 jetliner after leaving San Fran- cisco—was conducted in the Provo, Utah, area yesterday. But the search had all but ended last night after a local official re- ported a suspect has been identified but not apprehended.
Meanwhile, the search was continuing in the Woodland, Wash., area for the mys- terious Cooper, who parachuted Thanks- giving Eve from a Northwest Airlines 727 jetliner with $200,000.
The FBI at Las Vegas said the possibil- ity that the United hijacker might be the same man who used the D. B. Cooper name was "under consideration."
He said there was "always a possibili- ty" that the two might be the same, but added that there was no evidence at this time to indicate the possibility was true.
