No trace of Cooper was found after he parachuted from the jetlin- er near Portland, but some of the cash surfaced along the Columbia River in 1980. Most ' investigators believe the man perished.
McCoy was convicted of skyjack- ing a Denver-to-Los Angeles flight on April 7, 1972, and bailing out over his hometown of Provo, Utah, with $500,000. McCoy was sentenced to 45 years in prison and was shot to death Nov. 9, 1974, by FBI agents in Virginia Beach, Va., after escaping with three others from a federal prison at Lewisburg, Pa.
In the recently completed manu- script, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (D.B. Cooper - No Longer a Mystery)," Bernie A. Rhodes, form- er FBI division chief in Salt Lake City, and Russell P. Calame, form- er chief U.S. probation and parole agent, contend McCoy was Cooper. .They cite parallels in the hijack- ings, such as both men getting four parachutes, both using the phrase . "no funny stuff" in their ransom notes and both showing knowledge «of pilot terminology.
At the time of the McCoy hijack- 'ing, it was thought to be a rather inept copy of the earlier, greatly

Since last month Ingram has:
O Lost 11/2 days pay - about $100 - in ; order to return the money and attend an FBI press conference.
&: @ Watched as a fire caused about $1,000 damage to the upper floor of his home at 1500 Markle St. Saturday.
Been arrested Monday on an Oklahoma warrant alleging he left that state unlawfully
with mortgaged property ~ a car.
Officials in Oklahoma said they recognized Ingram from newspaper photographs that appeared after the famous find. Ingram had been wanted for about six months before the story first appeared in the paper, they said.
The warrant was issued because Ingram allegedly is behind in payments for his car.
"I have every receipt," Ingram said Thursday. "I don't have a payment due on that car until the 20th of next month."
"I feel confused, really confused," Ingram said Thursday. "And I feel pretty unlucky. I'm not angry; I'm kind of hurt. I really care what people think about me."
Ingram said he bought his car from a new car salesman, paid $200 or $300 down, and arranged for financing.

presumed that he came to earth -
, before about $5,800 in compressed, wet and eroded money was found along the banks of the Columbia River in February upstream from the Lewis.
The Washougal River scenario is the private view of geologist Chris Fiedler, who handled the soil analysis on the money, and not part of the agency's official report to the Seattle field office coordinating the
investigation.
Still, it seems to be the only clue -- that might help the investigation the FBI was able to glean from a recert analysis of the bills in its Washington, D.C., research area known as The Laboratory.
The official report says little was found on the wad of money. The basis for the new information is Fielder's research of the sand particles found
among the bills and his discussions with federal geologists in the field.
Hle has concluded that the range of sind particles found among the bills ill similar to sedinient along the Columbia River and a number of its tributaries.
Fiedler's opinion has been disavowed firmly by his mineralogy division section chief.
"He could have landed in the
Columbia River," Fiedler said.

The family found the money-"several thousand dollars," according to one official- about five miles northwest of the Interstate 5 bridge that spans the Columbia and sepa- rates Washington from Oregon, FBI agent William M. Baker said in Portland. The bills were partly buried in sand that the family was scooping out to build a fire.
The discovery, by Harold Dwayne Ingram, 27, his wife, Patricia, 26, and their 8- and 3- year-old sons, marked the latest twist in the bizarre saga of the now-legendary .Cooper, who parachuted from a Northwest Airlines etliner on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, never to be seen or heard from again.
Law enforcement authorites long have be-
lieved that Cooper died in his plunge from the Boeing 727, because he was wearing only a business suit and street shoes when he jumped into a howling wind and freezing . rain with an unreliable parachute,
The saga began when Cooper boarded the jetliner in Portland for a flight to Seattle. Once airborne, he demanded that the airline have $200,000 in $20 bills and three para- chutes on hand when the plane landed in Se- attle.

Tena Bar isn't a local watering hote. It's a local fishing hole - and the sand bar on the Columbia River on which the D.B. Cooper loct was found recently.
For awhile, all sorts of people gathered at the bar to search for some of the $200.000 ranson money taken by Cooper in the nation's first hijacking-for-profit nine years ago, after a toy found weathered packets of $20 bills in the sand.
On Wednesday, however, the only evidence of last week's frantic search of the beach by FBI agents were mounds of sand turned up by the searchers.
"We haven't seen anybody," said Bill Holcomb, a Vancouver resident and frequenter of Tena Bar.
Holcomb was fishing there with Virgil Nichols and Ken Troupe, both of Vancouver. The trio made up the entire fishing population of Tena Bar on Wednesday.
"We drag junk out of this river every day. Plastic, old shoes, things like that." said Nichols. "But never any money."
"There may be money here, but there's no fish," Holcomb sald.
: A long trench on the beach dug for use by river experts studying the layers of sand has been refilled, as has the large hole around the spot where

The same thing happened during my quest for D. B. The facts that I had in my burgeoning Cooper file were not enough. I began to fantasize in the stories I wrote; but the more I fabri- cated the truer they sounded.

Report: ing in a high-brow California magad zine, I told bow a lot of people up in Washington still think the hijacker was captured by the Sasquatch.
The story was illustrated with a full-page color drawing of Bigfoot, looking somewhat bereft without Fay Wray, scattering ransom money to the wind. Behind him the visage of D. B., Cooper - a rocky outcropping formed his nose - was superimposed on the heights of Mount St. Helens. A string of sky-written clouds spelled out -$200,000.
My province was of the imagina- tion. But it was by no means an exclu- ¡sive domain.

Operators of the farm said they knew something was unusual when several cars streamed along a road leading through the farmyard to the beach.
"We didn't know what it was about until we heard it on the radio," said one farm employee.
And three fishermen who routinely spend every day but Sundays fishing on the beach initially were confused and. then angry. ,
"These guys wouldn't tell us what "was going on," said Ken Davenport of Vancouver. "They asked us to move, but wouldn't tell us who they were or

Another fisherman, Mike Haddican of Vancouver, said they knew some. thing was up "because everybody was getting out of cars with shovels instead] of fishing poles."
The Guernsey . cows watched the beach show from their pens on a small bluff, scattering occasionally when hell -. copters chartered by news organiza- tions flew overhead.
Within an hour after the FBI an. . nounced where the money had been , found, private automobiles streamed : down Northwest Lower River Road, a narrow two-lane road leading to thel. farm. A Clark County sheriff's deputy, guarded the entrance, preventing thel public from getting to the beach.

Cooper's ransom money was found Sunday has turned up no new clues as to the fate of the legendary skyjacker.
The FBI said today that the search will continue today and Fri; day, then probably be suspended temporarily.
Brought to the beach to aid in Wednesday's search were a" backhoe and a geologist.
The FBI said the backhoe was used to dig a trench near the discovery site, making possible a study of the layers to sand.
An associate professor of geology at Portland State University, Leonard Palmer, was retained to inspect the sand and to assist in- vestigators in determining when the bundled money may have been: , deposited there.
Palmer, to the surprise of some authorities, concluded that the money was deposited on the beach in the past year or two because it Was above clay deposits put on the beach in a 1974 channel dredging operation.
According to the FBI, a coarse layer of sand sloped from a height of about six inches at the river's edge to two feet or more some distance up the river bank.

One of the more intensive searches in the FBI's history had failed to turn up any clue to the fate of the mysterious hijacker or his loot during the eight years since he bailed out of a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 flying at 7,000 feet over La Center, Wash., on ·Nov. 24, 1971, FBI spokesmen said. .
Cooper's was the first hijacking of a commercial airliner for money, and ¿started a chain of similar attempts, . which was responsible in part for the rigid security system now enforced at all United States airports and most ma- jor airports abroad.
Because of an erroneous report of the name used by the hijacker, he be- came known nationally as D.B. Cooper, although the airline manifest showed he had used the name "Dan."
The man who called himself Cooper paid cash for a ticket and boarded Northwest's Flight 305 at Portland In- ternational Airport just before it depart- ed. He sat in a rear seat in the cabin and waited until the plane was airborne. Then he handed stewardess Florence Schaffner a note saying he had a bomb in the satchel he was carrying and de- · manding $200,000 in unmarked $20 bills.
By the time the plane landed at ¡Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at 5:45 p.

"Because of strong wind currents, and other variables, we could have been a little off in our original cod mates."
According to Pringle, only one money bundle from the $200,000 hi- jack ransom was found on this beach nine miles downstream from the bridge over the Columbia River at Vancouver.
But since Cooper had all of his money in one canvas container. ac- cording to Moore, if any of the money is scattered - ali of it is likely to be scattered.
Cooper, whose real identity bas never been learned, literally dropped out of sight the night he plunged from the airliner. He had collected his bijack e loot in Seattle - bundles of money wrapped in a package six inches high, one foot across, and about IS inches long - later stuffed into a bag tied to his waist.
No trace was found of Cooper or his money until a family picnicking on this north bank of the Columbia, on property owned by the Fazio Brothers Sand Co. and dairy cow farm, found tattered bills three to six inches deep in the sand.
s' It was "Seattle day" at the FBI dig.

Manning recalls vividly the inten-
sive search conducted east of Woodland in the Lewis River area.
He says Charles Farrell of Seattle was the FBI agent in charge of the case, while Manning coordinated the . searches. Other agents from the Seattle and Portland FBI offices were also involved. In addition, about 200 soldiers from Fort Lewis were used in an inch by inch grid - search conducted in March of 1972 after the winter snows melted.
Despite the fact that no trace of Cooper was found, Manning and other agents remained convinced he had jumped somewhere in the Lewis River-Lake Merwin arca, .where crewmen of the Boeing 727 noted al fluctuation in the cabin rate of pressure indicator about 8:10 p.m.
Minutes earlier lights came on in. the cockpit indicating the rear airstair of the aircraft had been lowered.
"Using the same aircraft, we made some tests three days after the hijacking, and the results gave credence to the theory that he - jumped in the area the crew told us about," Manning said.

Children on a family outing on Sunday found the first half - decom- posed packets of $20 bills with which . Cooper bad parachuted from a North- west Orient jetliner on Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 24, 1971.
The total was between $1,000 and $4,000, Himmelsbach said, and serial numbers checked matched numbers on the marked bills given Cooper.
The money was found farther downriver from Vancouver than FBI agents had estimated Tuesday, when they announced the discovery, and it caused Himmelsbach to return to the theory he has bad since 1971 that Cooper landed - dead or alive - in the vicinity of Lake Merwin on the Lewis River about 25 miles north of Vancouver.
Himmelsbach, the agent in charge of the investigation since the hijack- ing took place, said he believes the dozen packets of greenbacks were gradually washed down the Lewis River and into the Columbia River. Then, he said, ocean tides could have pushed thein several miles up thu Columbia to where they were found.
There was speculation Tuesday
·that the site was too far up the Colum- · bia for the money to have come from the Lewis River.

The bills were the first evidence uncovered in the case since Cooper hijacked the jetliner in 1971.

· VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - It started as a Sunday 'pienic on a chilly river beach for a Vancouver, Wash., family and became a new chapter in the legend of D.B. Cooper.
With one sweep of his arm, 8-year-old Brian Ingram discovered Sunday what thousands of searchers failed to find - a bundle of $20 bills, now deteriorated, demanded by the infamous, parachuting skyjacker in 1971.
Tuesday night in an interview with the Vancouver Col- umbian, Brian, his father, H. Dwayne, and his mother, Patricia, recounted the events of a casual outing that unearthed what one official called the "most important

Its name is Earth - and its zooming through the Void at some- thing like 66,690 miles an hour.
"Bul even at that speed - or so his-
theory went - mnost people are still bored spitless.
"This man gave us the answer: The only way to get off that angst ridden' 'airplane IS TO JUMP!"
I saw it coming - all the way to the nearest FBI interrogation room.
"What was his name?"
"D. B. Cooper," I whispered.
"Any relation to James Fenimore?"
The stewardess' wink said it all. I closed my eyes. I wanted to slip on my dark glasses - but why tempt fate any further? I would have to cringe openly.
I pretended to sleep all the way to San Francisco.

Emerson said that the trouble with heroes is not their ceramic feet. It's that eventually they become a pain in the ass.
I wonder if the Sage of Concord would have been all that blase about the acturial little gent who called him- self Dan Cooper - especially if D. B. had kept him in groceries for almost 10 years. .
When I think back to that stormy Thanksgiving Eve of 1971, the night Cooper half-gainered his way to im- mortality, I find it hard to label him the criminal he officially is - dead or al- l'ive.

The money-"several thousand dollars," according to one official- was found in Washington about five thiles northwest of the Interstate 5 bridge that spans the Columbia and separates Washington from Oregon, FBI agent William M. Baker told a news conference in Portland.
Discovery of the money by Harold Dwayne Ingram, 27, his wife, Patricia, 26, and their sons, 8 and 3, marked the latest twist in the bizarre saga of the now-legendary Cooper, who pa- rachuted from a Northwest Airlines jetliner on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, never to be seen or heard from again. When found by the Ingrams, the stacks of $20 bills were bound by de- composing rubber bands, the FBI said. But there was "no trace of D. B. chute. .
Crew members last heard his voice on the plane's intercom when they were over the Washington-Oregon border. They said they believe he jumped, using the least reliable para- Cooper," according to the agency.
Shortly after the hijacking, a cult sprang up around D. B. Cooper, a name that never has been traced to its origins.
A private club was named in his honor, D. B. Cooper T-shirts were manufactured, bumper stickers were run off and anniversary parties were held.

By CYNTHIA TANK Columbian Staff Writer "I hate to think the thoughts people will be thinking about me all over the United States," said Harold Dwayne Ingram as he sat in his boss's office Thursday afternoon.

"I regret it for myself, but not for Brian," who, he said, has enjoyed all the attention.

His boss and attorney, Joe Tanner, said this morning he has been told by the Pittsburg County, Okla., district attorney that that office now has verification of Ingram's car payments. Ingram, in fact, is paid ahead to July on the car, Tanner said.
Tanner said a few details need to be worked out, but when they are the district attorney has told him the charges will be dropped. That will not occur until Monday, Tanner said he was told. The district attorney was unavailable for comment this morning.
As for Ingram's other bad fortune, just before midnight Saturday, two bedrooms. on the upper floor burned, and his landlord - who bailed him out of jail Tuesday - started remodeling the next day.
Tanner, vice president of U-Cart Concrete Systems Inc. of Vancouver, where Ingram is employed, said the company is behind him. Tanner, a lawyer, said he will represent Ingram without charge.
Until the charges against him are dropped, Ingram faces an April 17 identification? hearing in Clark County District Court.

First the briefcase bomb was only real in the sense that it worked, it was constructed of gillette shaving cream cans, painted red and rigged up with prima-cord fuses. When he flashed them to the stewardesses they carried `out his instructions because they were well-indoctrinated and thoroughly trained. Also they obeyed instructions from Mr. Nyrop of the head of Northwest.
Nyrop figured that it was easier to paya mere 200,000 . than to risk four lives and a $ 5 million dollar airplane. Cooper could smell xeros fluid on the money and knew that the twenties had been duplicated.
He stayed close to his original plan, only having ode nervous moment when he was still negotiating on the

Final determination re reward offer is being left to the discretion of Seattle and, of course, Minneapolis based on Northwest's receptiveness to this campaign effort. If Northwest is not particularly inter- ested in becoming reinvolved, Seattle should consider con- tacting other possible donor sources to the reward offer. It is felt that several organizations might be interested in the publicity that could be obtained by offering a re- ward of this type, however, discretion should be utilized in the choices considered and Seattle should advise the Bureau prior to accepting a source other than Northwest.

As part of the evidence to substantiate his claim, unsub reportedly made available xerox copies of a $20 bill which was reportedly part of the ransom money. The serial number on this bill was L51279635A, series 1969.
It is noted that the serial number of the $20 bill used in the Seattle "Flag" article is identical with the $20 bill recently obtained from Secret Service, who in turn obtained it from a local Seattle service station. This $20 bill was passed by a white female who apparently did not know of the alteration that had been made to it. The last three digits in the serial number have been changed by cutting out three digits from a $1 bill and inserting them into a $20 bill, using scotch tape.
This $20 bill will be retained in the LA section of the Seattle file 164-81.
