Skyjacking loot bagged

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Anyone who wants to take a chance on finding some of the loot from the nation's only unsolved skyjacking should look somwhere other than the banks of the Columbia River, FBI agents say.

Agents expected to halt today the search for more of the ransom that had until this week been missing since D.B. Cooper parachuted from a jet with $200,000 strapped to his waist nine years ago. Ken Moore, the Seattle agent in charge of the digging, said the money probably was washed downstream into the Columbia, most likely from the Washougal River. No trace of Cooper, the first person to hijack an airliner for money, has been found.
