Title: MYSTERY REMAINS IN SAGA OF D.B. COOPER Character: or DAILY Classification: 164-457 Submitting Office: Los Angeles

Mystery remains in the saga of D.B. Cooper
ORTLAND, Ore. — The mystery surrounding D.B. Cooper's skyjacking and disappearance eight years ago has been rekindled by a Vancouver, Wash., family's inad- vertent discovery of worn packets of $20 bills on the Columbia River shoreline — part of Cooper's $200,- 000 ransom.
The saga which changed the nature of airline piracy began on Thanksgiving Day, 1971, when Cooper boarded Northwest Air- lines flight 305 for a flight from Portland to Seattle. Once aboard, he handed a crew member a note, saying he was carrying a bomb in a satchel and wanted $200,000 in unmarked $20 bills.
When the jetliner landed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Air- port that evening, authorities had arranged the cash and had also obtained four parachutes, as in- structed by Cooper.
Cooper then allowed the flight's 36 passengers and all crew mem- bers but two pilots and one stew- ardess to disembark. He then ordered the aircraft to take off for Reno, Nev.
At one point in that flight, the crew felt a fluctuation in cabin pressure, which suggested the jet- liner's rear cabin door had opened.
