The Hijacker Is Everywhere

Another 'Look-alike' Has Problems With Police

LOS ANGELES — (AP) — A suburban West Covina man says he was detained by police three hours because he resembles the Northwest Orient Airlines plane hi- jacker who parachuted to freedom after receiving $200,000.

Jiri Fencl, 38, said Monday that he was picked up by police at Sacramento Airport four days after the Nov. 24 hijacking and questioned and photographed by officers.

"I went through it calmly because I knew I was innocent," Fencl said.

Authorities are still looking for a middle-aged man identified as "D. B. Cooper" who bailed out of a Boeing 727 jet last month between Seattle and Reno, Nev., after extorting the $200,000 with a bomb threat.

The FBI has reported no leads in the case — and has not said whether other middle-aged men with parachut- ing experience have been questioned.

Fencl said when he was arrested he had $800 in his wallet to pay a moving van company for transporting his property from Rocklin, near Sacramento, to West Covina.

He said a card in his wallet indicated he had been an Army parachutist, and a check of his driver's license further disclosed he once had lived in Seattle.

Fencl is the new manager of the Pomona National Country Club.
