With regard to the recent hijacking of a plane involving a $200,000 ransom payoff:
My son has a friend who drops by the house occasionally. One evening about a week ago the friend came by and, in the process of the conversation, he mentioned that he was going to have a $200,000 wedding. Jokingly I asked if by some chance he was in on the hijacking of the airplane. His answer was yes, and my uncle who lives in the vicinity of Vancouver, Washington, even looks like the hijacker and even owns a Cessna 310, is an ex-paratrooper and does sky diving.
The last name of the friend's father is [REDACTED]. The father is a pilot and works for City Transfer in Kent, Wash.
My son informed me that his friend or his friend's father went to Portland or vicinity at about the time the hijacking transpired.
