Airline Asks Search for Hijack Cash

SEATTLE (AP)—Hunters moving into the southwest Washington wilds for the opening on the general hunting season Saturday have been asked to look for $200,000—the money Northwest Airlines paid to the hijacker known as D. B. Cooper.

And they have been of- fered a $25,000 reward if they come up with the whole amount. The re- ward scales down to 15% of any lesser amount re- covered.

Cooper, the only suc- cessful parachute hijack- er, is believed to have bailed out of a Northwest 727 jetliner last Thanks- giving Eve somewhere over the southwest Wash- ington area. Law enforce- ment agencies have scoured the area several times but without success. Northwest, still con- vinced Cooper didn't sur- vive the jump, hopes a hunter will stumble on the loot.
