Children on a Sunday picnic found three bundles of bills - about $3,000 in $20 bills printed in 1963 and 1969 - that were part of Cooper's loot. The serial numbers showed they matched the $200,000 Cooper extort- ed from Northwest Airlines in 1971. The partially decomposed clumps of money were being sent to the FBI laboratory in Washington, D.C., but agents on the case were sure all of the bills found were from the loot.
FBI agents continued searching today at the beach on the Fazio Ranch where agents found bits of bills in the same area where the families had found the money in the sand Sunday.
"They're very small pieces of money, about the size of a nickel," said FBI agent Tom Nicodemus. He
"It indicates to us there's been a lot of sand shift there and the money has been there for some time," Nicodemus said.
The discovery of the money was the first solid lead in the case since Cooper jumped from a Northwest Airlines flight after a hijacking that began at Portland.
The hijacker, who actually used the name Dan Cooper on boarding the plane, told a stewardess he had a bomb in his briefcase and demanded $200,000 and four | cooper_d_b_part009.pdf#page=205 | cooper_d_b_part009.pdf |

If not for my inherent procrastion you might have gotten this letter a year or two earlier, and if not for the urgings of many of my friends you may not have received it at all. You may not. be the best person contact; but I lifted your name from the Seattle P I Sunday Northwest magazine section. To shorten what otherwise could be a long story I will say that it is possible I may know the real name of the man called "Cooper."
My friends have urged me to contact the FBI and tell the same story I have told them. They labor under the delusion I'll get rich from all"rewards. But reward or not I will relate to you, or some other agent, what I know ( and do not know) if you can do what you can to keep my name confidential.
I have no need at all for a homocide bent, revenge crazy crook on my trail sometime in the future!
I lost track of this man sometime in 1964, but from what little I know of the hijacking case everything fits. The composite sketch is not a likeness, but two of the features are certainly his.
I haven't said anything up to now for two reasons.

Morrow said the FBI is investigating Jerry Cooper's whereabouts at the time of the 1971 Thanksgiving eve incident, . . and added the issue is "almost resolved."
, The FBI began its investigation after an anonymous caller told Fairfat Coun- ty, Va. police he had seen $15,000 cash in Jerry Cooper's apartment and sus- `pected him of being the elusive hijacker.
The caller directed police to Coop- er's sister-in-law, Carol Wood: After she was questioned by an FBI agent she told her brother-in-law who "voluntar- . ily came into our office and was most cooperative," Morrow said.

Farmers in the area were warned not to spread the pesticide in areas used by waterfowl, Kaiser said.

Ransom money in the amount of $200,000 wer ma.k. up entirely of used, random 20 dollar bills. It was ob:sin- ed from the Seattle first National Bank, Main Office, and was part of a rancon package of $250,000. which had been maintained by the bank for such emergencies. The package measured approximately one foot by one foot by eight or nine inches and weighed 19 pounds.
A check of the Federal Aviation Administration flight section at Portland International Airport reflected that on November 24, 1971 between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, there was a coiling of 5,000 feet, 3, 500 feet broken clouds, and at 1, 500 fect scattored and broken clouds at times with a wind of 12-14 knots. The temperature at the end of the air stairs at the time of the jump was approximately 0º c.
On October 5, 1972, Mr. DONALD W. NYROP, President, Northwest Orient Airlines, Minneapolis-Saint Paul Interna- tional Airport, advised he authorized a finers fec of $25, 000 total reward or 15% for any portion of the ransom money that is returned. | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf#page=253 | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf |

The conclusion from that test was that the carin pressure change occurred when the stairs were forced upward by the air pressure after the weight had been removed. according to the hijacked crew, and, also a member of the crew when the test was performed, the occurrence was identical with the incident on the night of the hijack.

This aircraft was described as an extremely sonhis- ticated acrial reconnaissance plane which would photograph a strip 20 miles wide with photographic resolution of detecting objects on the ground 2 feet square. The film strip would then be reviewed by trained and qualified U.S. Air Force personnel.
By communication February 17, 1972 the Sacramento Di-
vision advised that photographic over-flights using SR-71 aircraft were conducted on five separate occasions with no photographs obtained due to limited visibility fror very high altitude.
SR-71 Flights from Beale Air Force Pase advised each such flight requires minimum of one week advance clearance with FAA due to sonic boom problem, specialized computer programming of aircraft, filing of flight plan and compliance with FAA requirements. Accordingly, weather on flight date cannot be accurately predicted. He stated no future flights over specific arca where hijacker possibly exited could .he schueduled since ST .- 71 aircraft committed for military missions.

By communication, November 1, 1972, Seattle Division advised the Bureau and Norfolk that Unsub had in his possession, prior to the time he jumped, the following paraphernalia:
A. Parachute Pack Pack
B. Parachute Chest Pack
. C. Briefcase or attache case
D. Dark overcoat F. A 4x12x14 paper bag
F. A pair of dark slip-on shoes G. Wrap-around sunglasses with dark rims H. 10,000 $20 bills

Since none of the above was found when the plane was searched at Reno, Unsub must have taken them with him, or discarded some of them prior to jumping.
The above-described attache case supposedly contained a bomb. It is believed Unsub threw this attache case from the plane prior to his jumping, because of the numerous other items he had to carry. If he did throw it prior to jumping, it would fall almost directly in the path of the aircraft. The 727 air stairs were lowered sometime after 7:12 p.m. and Unsub jumped prior to 8:15 p.m. on November 24, 1971. The plane covered a distance of approximately 87 miles during this time. | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf#page=286 | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf |

His plan was to land in Cooper Lake, not far from Salmon La Sac, a public camping area. He miscalculated the wind and drift, and landed instead in LAKE KACHESS!
I have shared this information with the F.B.I. and also the Secret Service, Both have stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgles, would- n't you think? The Secret Service is so secret, I wonder if they know what is real? But that is beside the point. It is just exasperation upon my part, so forgive me my ravings, will you?
Now to the meat of the subject, as I told the above "security" organizations: I know the exact whereabouts of "D.B. Cooper" and his accomplice, and also the EXACT SPOT that holds the money hidden from the human eye. I will go a little further and say that Cooper, who is about 35 years of age, and slighty, or a little more so, ikad bald, is enjoying the holidays at his leisure with his accomplice, a very attractive ted-headed woman of about the same age that has a miniature sized dog as a pet. | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf#page=301 | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf |

Northwest 727 hijacker
Cooper made a quantum leap into mists of mythology By John Kerans
You can't tell a book by its cover. Nor a crook by the crime he's com- mitted. But if you can't read the" book, or you can't find the crook- then surely some speculation's per- mitted.
Take the case of D. B. Cooper, who 71/2 years ago used a bomb threat to take command of a 727 jet, then par- achuted to freedom with $200,000 ex- torted from Northwest Airlines. No trace of Cooper was ever found. And since it's the only such unsolved crime in American history, you could say Cooper wrote the book on skyjacking. But he took the book; along the night he made his quantum Jeap. And that's where the specula- tion begins .. .
The playwright:
John Orlock began to wonder about D. B. Cooper a few weeks after the : crime was committed. Orlock found a letter purportedly from Cooper re- printed in the New York Times and he clipped it out. | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf#page=367 | cooper_d_b_part078.pdf |

stated he had tbt thought of as being identical with unsub until he saw the artist sketch but now feels he has the same description and he has the personality to commit this act and he would not be surprised if he is identical with unsub.
