Facts of Complaint

Complainant called to advise that he was a co-conspirator in the D.B. Cooper skyjacking incident. The complainant knows where the remaining $184,000 from the heist is located (allegedly in close proximity to the Mt. Ranier area) and is willing to arrange for its return. The complainant stated that he was closely associated with the main subject, Cooper (allegedly a false name), and that he was the person that was to pick Cooper up at the prearranged landing sight after he jumped from the plane. The complainant claimed that the idea for the skyjacking was, in fact, his.

After the skyjacking, the complainant recovered the bag with the stolen money, took out approximately $16,000 and then buried the remaining funds. He spent part of the money in Carbonado, Washington, with some acquaintances, who were subsequently arrested when the money was traced to the skyjacking. Due to his acquaintances' arrests, the complainant abandoned approximately $5,800 on a riverbank in the Portland, OR area, and then fled to Nevada and left the money buried. He has returned to the location
