Agent 'explains' beachfront deposit
PORTLAND (UPI) -- Ralph Himmelsbach, the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent who has headed the D.B. Cooper case since the 1971 hijacking, outlines this "possible scenario" to explain how some of the Cooper money washed up on the beach west of Vancouver:
"Probably the money (in the bag) came down close to the bank of a stream. When the water got high enough it washed downstream, bumping along the bottom. The bag finally degraded.
"Perhaps it could have burst on impact, but that is not likely. We think finally, tumbling down the river bottom, it broke open and the money was carried on, wearing off little bits and pieces around the edges, grinding it down like it had been ground with sandpaper or a file, leaving the center portion."
