Latest on D.B. —

D. B. Cooper, the legendary skyjacker, alive and well in Tacoma? That's the case according to a news story in the Oregon Statesman in Salem, Ore. According to Al Torelli, quoted in the story, D. B. Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 between Portland and Seattle Nov. 24, 1971, and parachuted with $200,000 into a farm field near Woodburn, Ore., and has hidden the money. FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach, in charge of the case, discounted the story, and said "there is no reason whatsoever to think that we are in error in deciding he jumped over La Center, Wash." None of the money has ever turned up and Cooper's real identity has never been discovered.
