RE: REMNANTS OF A PARACHUTE HARNESS FOUND IN SKAMANIA COUNTY

The remnants of a parachute harness, located by the Sheriff's Office in Skamania County, were inspected on 5-31-72 by EARL J. COSSEY who advised that they are remnants of a parachute harness but positively are not part of any of the four he packed and which were used in the hijack situation. His elimination was based on the fact that the straps are olive drab whereas the missing chute is sage green in color. Further, one of the remnants has a piece sewn to it to extend its length, plus the fact that part of the remnants found was a Capewell quick-release which the missing chute does not have.
