THE REPORTER SAID HE HAD INFORMATION INDICATING THAT KIPERTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE NORTHWEST AIRLINES HIJACKING AND REQUESTED DETAILS. I TOLD HIM THAT WE KNEW OF NO SUCH CONNECTION AND THAT IF HIS SPECULATION WAS PROMPTED BY A STORY PRINTED IN THE OREGON JOURNAL, 11/6/73, I COULD RELATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HOW THE NAME D.B. COOPER AROSE IN THE CASE. I THEN ADVISED THE REPORTER THAT WHILE IT IS NOT KNOWN THAT KIPERTS ROBBED THE WILSONVILLE BANK, HE IS CONSIDERED SUSPECT. I RELATED THAT THE ROBBER OF THAT BANK WHEN HE ENTERED THE LOBBY, NOTICED THAT THE TARGET TELLER WAS OCCUPIED WITH A CUSTOMER. THE ROBBER WALKED TO A WALL DESK TABLE AND THERE SIMULATED NORMAL ACTIVITY BY WRITING OR SCRIBBLING ON DEPOSIT SLIPS. WHEN THE CUSTOMER LEFT THE TARGET TELLER WINDOW, THE ROBBER IMMEDIATELY TURNED FROM THE TABLE, ACCOSTED THE TELLER AND COMPLETED THE ROBBERY. LATER IN THE COURSE OF INVESTIGATION, THE VICTIM TELLER REMEMBERED THE ROBBERY HAD BEEN OCCUPIED AT THE WALL TABLE DESK. THREE SAVINGS WITHDRAWAL SLIPS WERE RECOVERED, BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN THE PRODUCT OF THE ROBBER'S SCRIBBLING THE NAME D. B. COOPER HAD END PAGE THREE
