The second fact was that the money was found in the surface layer of the upper reworked beach sand. The third fact was that the distribution of the money was in this surface layer only, and none was found to be in the post dredging sand.

The third fact was that the distribution of the money was in this surface layer only, and none was found to be in the post dredging sand. When reminded of the fact that the rubber bands holding the money together were still in place, but extremely brittle and crumbled upon touch, stated that the condition of the rubber bands would tend to lend credence to the assumption that the money had been at the location where found a longer period of time. Even with this, he still felt the money was not at the site for more than a year. At the height found, the money was definitely de- posited more than four years after the dredging of the Columbia River in 1974.

He advised that this could be caused by many reasons, but most probably caused by the different elevations of the beach sand at

Pine, telephone was contacted regarding dredging operations on the Columbia River since November 24, 1971. The purpose of obtaining this information was to determine if it was possible that the bait money located on the beach property on the Vancouver, Washington, on February 10, 1980, could have been placed there through dredging operations on the Columbia River. after a review of his records, advised that the only dredging operation between November 24, 1971, and the present in the vicinity of the was during August 6 through September 18, 1974. . Material dredged from the river channel in the Columbia River was placed in several locations on or near the as well as one location across the river on the Oregon side. The dredge material deposited at the site where the money was located came from the north half of the ship channel, which is 300 feet wide, between river mile 96 plus 38 feet and river mile 97 plus 17 feet.

The dredge material deposited at the site where the money was located came from the north half of the ship channel, which is 300 feet wide, between river mile 96 plus 38 feet and river mile 97 plus 17 feet. This material was deposited on the beach area of the between August 19 through the 25th, 1974, and consisted of 91,100 cubic yards of fill. The channel is maintained at 40 feet in depth and all the material above 40 feet is dredged out. The dredge "Washington" of the General Construction Company did the dredging on this project. It had a 24 inch pipe with wiper bar inside the pipe.

The material deposited on the beach was spread with tractors probably over a area of 50 yards in each direction. Because of the flow of the Columbia River, sand deposited on the bank by the dredge is washed away. Additionally, an amount of dredge material deposited on the beach slides back into the river. added that the dredge works 24 hours a day and any objects such as money or bones would go unnoticed if deposit- ed on the shore during the night. provided six aerial photographs of the Columbia River which show the area where the 1974 dredge material was deposited on the The September 6, 1974, photographs show the deposit left after the dredging and is marked to indicate where the money was located.

advised the only likely river feeding the Columbia River within the above described drop zone that would be capable of moving several bundles of money or a package about 16x16x4 inches to the Columbia River would be the Washougal River. A logical time, if the money came down the Washougal, would have been during the December 2, 1977 Washougal flood when parts of the river were approximately ten feet over the normal winter flood stage. There are several other streams that feed the Columbia River upstream from the however, due to size, or the degree of slope of the streams, it is unlikely that a small package would have made it to the Columbia. It is also unlikely that a small package would have passed through Lacamas Lake downstream to the Columbia. stated that based on the three feet per second b6 speed of the Columbia River, if a small package entered the Columbia b70 River at Washougal, Washington, and floated in the main stream of the river to the a distance approximately thirty miles, it would take 14.7 hours. This is assuming that the package did not tumble along the bottom of the river or get caught on any snags.
