Parachute not that of missing skyjacker

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KELSO, Wash. — The FBI says it has ruled out any connection between a partly buried parachute found in a wooded area of southwest Washington and the 8-year-old disappearance of skyjacker D.B. Cooper.

The parachute was found by logger Darrell G. Ray and turned over to Cowlitz County sheriff's deputies Monday, after a friend told Ray the discovery might be a clue to the nation's only unsolved skyjacking.

But Bill Williams, an FBI spokesman in Portland, Ore., said Tuesday, "We have determined after examining the chute that it is not related to the case at all, even though it was found in the general area where Cooper left the plane."
