Latest on D.B. [guess: 4/[illegible]]

D. B. Cooper, the legendary skyjacker, alive and well in Tacoma? That's the case according to a news story in the Oregon States- man in Salem, Ore. According to Al Torelli, quoted in the story, D. B. Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 be- tween Portland and Seattle Nov. 24, COOPER 1971, and para- chuted 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 what- soever to think that we are in er- ror in deciding he jumped over La Center, Wash." None of the money has ever turned up and Cooper's real identity has never been dis- covered.
