The Air Force disclosed that pilots of eight chase
planes which tailed the jetliner did not see a person leave
the plane. Five planes followed the jetliner all the way and
three picked it up en route to Reno. But officials had said
earlier that the chase planes would have difficulty spotting
a skydiver at night if he did not open his parachute imme-
diately.
When the plane landed at Reno for refueling, the man
was gone.
So was the $200,000, the briefcase a stewardess said
had contained objects appearing to be sticks of dynamite,
some food rations, two parachutes and part of a third. The
FBI speculates the man may have used parts of the torn
parachute to bind the money to him when he jumped.
