The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane. proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

"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.
The 28-year-old Vancouver resident said he now regrets his 8-year-old son.Brian's finding of D.B. Cooper's hijack ransom money last month.
"I regret it for myself, but not for Brian," who, he said, has enjoyed all the attention.
Brian and his family made national headlines after a family outing on a Columbia River beach near Vancouver Feb. 10 turned into a major media and FBI event. Brian was preparing 'a campfire when he scooped out about $5,000 of the $200,000 Cooper had demanded and received before jumping out of an airliner in 1971.

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.
"These people are great here," Ingram| said of his fellow employees. "They want to! back me 100 percent."
"He's been treated unfairly," Tanner said.

B. ".
That story and the words in their entirety are: "He was cool, he was calm, the man with the "bomb", who boarded flight 36 with ease. And pilot Bill Scott, not suspecting the plot, took off with the man called D. B. They were just in the air, when the stew caught the stare, of the man in the back of the plane. He passed her a paper, which he thought she'd read later, she thought him a flirt and quite vain. "Read the note," his wave told, and she thought him quite bold, to make such a pass in mid flight. But she did as he asked, and she read and she gasped, as the jet flew on into the night. The crew was quite shocked, to find this short hop, this all stop, short hop flight skyjacked.

It has been explained to that he can make available to the FBI, the fingerprints which he has and that a comparison will be made and he will be advised of the results. He states, however, that on advice of his attorney, he does not desire to make these fingerprints available until the FBI has signed an agreement with him that they will not prevent him from publishing his book. It has been explained that the FBI will in no way inter fer with the publication of his book and that obviously an identification of the subject would be a great benefit for him in marketing his book. He has stated, however, that because of his attorney's advice, he desires to have an agreement signed prior to making the fingerprints available. .

Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, telephone number 974-3685, telephonically contacted SA stated that during the evening hours of 2/11/80, the residence of
Encino, California,
was set on fire. In connection with the fire on 2/11/80, arson investigators found gasoline cans in the residence and evidence that gasoline had been poured on the carpets throughout the residence. Because the house was tightly closed it only partially burned. A security guard was retained by to protect the residence. The following night the residence burned again and the security guard, who was chosen at random, admitted to setting the fire. He denied being initially involved.
