$1,000 offered for hijacker's $20 bill

United Press International

Portland, Ore. The Oregon Journal Thursday announced it will give a $1,000 reward for the first $20 bill re- covered from the loot col- lected two years ago by D. B. Cooper, the still miss- ing parachuting airplane hijacker.

The Journal said it was making the offer in ac- cordance with an FBI statement that obtaining any of the $200,000 ex- torted from Northwest Air- lines would aid its investi- gation.

A passenger listed as Dan Cooper boarded a North- west Boeing 727 jetliner here Thanksgiving eve 1971, hijacked the craft, forcing Northwest to give him the $200,000 in $20 bills at Seattle, then or- dered the plane crew to fly to Reno, Nev.

When the plane landed at Reno, Cooper, later la- belled D. B. Cooper, was not aboard. The flight crew and FBI believe he parachuted from the plane over southwestern Wash- ington.

No trace of either Cooper or the money has been found and officers admit they are baffled. Many be- lieve he was killed when he parachuted.
