The indictment of the m[an]
identified as Cooper is pri-
marily an attempt to prevent
such a problem in the hijack-
ing case, he said.
There has been no trace of
Cooper or the money since
that windy, wet, stormy night
when he bailed out the rear
door of a Northwest Airlines
727 jet with 21 pounds of mon-
ey strapped to his chest.
"Not one of the 10,000 bills
has shown up, and we know
the serial numbers on every
one of them," says FBI agent
Ralph Himmelsbach, who has
worked on the case from the
outset.
Cooper had boarded a
Portland-to-Seattle flight
Nov. 24, 1971, clutching a pa-
per bag. Soon after take off,
he told stewardesses he had a
bomb, and that he wanted
$200,000 in cash and four para-
chutes.
Cooper's demands were
met -and, on his orders, the
plane departed for Reno with
only himself and the crew on
board.
