"I understand that kids in the area have been trying to shoot the parachute out of the tree for about three years," the doctor said. "When the snow melts, we can go up there and find more bones and maybe a billfold that will tell us his name."

Conditions were poor for a jump when "Cooper," dressed in oxfords and a business suit, plummeted into the cold air. Investigators have subse- quently agreed with the opi- nion of an FAA regional security chief:

"One of these days some hunter in Oregon or Washington is going to find the skeleton of this man screwed into the ground up to the elbows."
