They're still singing about D.B. Cooper, and 1 man is searching
There is a little latch near the tail of many airliners with rear stairways. During flight, the wind flips the latch up so no one can lower the stairs. In the industry the latch is called "the Cooper Vane." But it has been nearly 15 years since airlines began install- ing them, and some people have for- gotten why.

This time, Richard Tosaw says, he is going to find D.B. Cooper. "I know where he is," Tosaw said. "I don't know who he is, but he's from the Seattle area, and maybe we'll get lucky and there'll be a wallet with some piece of identification."
On Nov. 24, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving, a man who came to be
Larry Batson's America
known as D.B. Cooper held a North- west Orient airliner, its crew and, briefly, its passengers for ransom. He got parachutes, $200,000 in cash, released the passengers and part of the crew, ordered the pilot to take off for Mexico City, but quickly low- ered the rear stairway and leaped into the darkness, never to be seen again.
Not yet, anyway.
Tosaw maintains that Cooper's re- mains, his parachute and a canvas bag still holding $194,000 lie up- stream from a Columbia River

beach where nearly $6,000 of the ransom was found six years ago.
And how did the $6,000 get there?
As Tosaw explains it, when Cooper released two of the three flight at- tendants in Seattle before the final take-off, he pulled some bills from the bag and offered them a "tip." They refused.
"I believe he stuffed those bills in- side his coat or clothing, maybe un- der his belt, That's the $6,000 that came up (Actually $5,800; 10 bills were missing from one packet). The rest is in the bag. If the bag had opened, a lot more would have been found. That beach is a popular place, with people on it every day of the year. Besides, the FBI dug up the whole beach area after the discov- ery.
That beach is a popular place, with people on it every day of the year. Besides, the FBI dug up the whole beach area after the discov- ery."
Tosaw obtained the piece of evi- dence key to his theory long after the bills were found.
"The money was still in packets, with the rubber bands around them, though the bands broke as soon as they were touched," he said. "That `showed it couldn't have come far. And it couldn't have been there iong."
Early reports said the packets were scattered near each other and cov- ered with sand.
But while talking with the mother of Brian Ingram, the 8-year-old boy
FBI/DOJ DB Cooper-34302
b6 b7Cwho found the money, Tosaw said he made a further important discovery.
"The packets were still in a clump, pressed together, not scattered, not really covered. They hadn't come far enough even to separate," he said. "That makes the eddy just above the beach the prime search area."

On Nov. 29, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, as is traditional, the IT annual D.B. Cooper Party will be held at Ariel, Wash., a hamlet in a in logging and vacation area north of the site Tosaw will search. One the -! ". ory, of many, is that Cooper landed vì near Ariel.

Richard Purdy, 39, owns the Ariel store and bar where the parties are' held. Purdy, a musician, wrote "Thea Ballad of D.B. Cooper" and has at- Jn tended and played at most of the parties. He bought the bar this yeari
If Tosaw finds Cooper, this will be m i, the last party, Purdy said.
"I decided we'd keep it going until somebody found him, dead or alive. If he's dead, we'll hold a wake and bury the party with him."
The man who bought a ticket from Portland to Seattle used a name onl once. "Dan Cooper," he replied when the ticket agent asked. That night a reporter's mistake trans- formed it to D.B. Cooper and nobody would ever accept anything else, not? even after the original remark be- came public.
Cooper and nobody would ever accept anything else, not? even after the original remark be- came public. So D.B. Cooper, who wasn't, really isn't. Or however you want to put it.
He was middle-aged, sald the young flight attendants - called steward- esses then. Medium everything. Un- remarkable in every way. He walked aboard. There were no X-ray ma- chines and luggage searches were rare. He sat in the middle of the last row and just before take-off handed attendant Florence Schaffner an en- velope.
She thought he was making a pass at her. She was annoyed but stuck it in Ther pocket. Cooper rose from his seat.
"You'd better read that note," he said.
She did. "I have a bomb in my brief- čase ... "
For the record, the plane was a Boe- ing 727-100, the flight had originated in Washington, D.C., but a new crew had come aboard at Minneapolis-St. Paul International: Commander Wil- liam A. Scott, co-pilot William J. Ra- taczak, second officer Harold E. An- derson, attendants Alice Hancock, Schaffner and Tina Mucklow.
Ra- taczak, second officer Harold E. An- derson, attendants Alice Hancock, Schaffner and Tina Mucklow. At Northwest headquarters in Minneso- ta, Paul Soderiind became closely involved, talking with the crew throughout the flight, offering advice and direction, plotting a course and eventually outlining the area in which the search should be concen- trated.
Cooper showed Schaffner the bomb, red sticks like road flares (or dyna- mite) wired to a battery. He picked up a second wire, " ... all I've got to do is touch the end of this wire to the terminal ... "
Schaffner carried Cooper's demands to the cockpit and spent most of the time there until she was released. He had Mucklow sit beside him.
"Tina was the only one to really see Cooper," Tosaw said. "I was able to talk with her by telephone with per- mission of her mother superior.".
Mucklow is a nun now, a member of a cloistered order in Oregon. "She's very happy in her life," a friend said. The other two women are homemakers now, Tosaw said.
"She's very happy in her life," a friend said. The other two women are homemakers now, Tosaw said. Scott & lives at Medicine Lake; Rataczak still flies for Northwest, and Soder- · lind retired and lives in Montana.
Cooper was polite but occasionally
impatient, Mucklow said. What sur- prised her and what investigators considered a prime clue was his knowledge of the aircraft, of the Se- attle area, of airport procedure. He knew the crew's terminology for equipment, how long it should take to refuel, how long to bring para- chutes from McChord Air Force Base, that the rear staircase would lower in flight far enough to allow a jumper to clear the plane. Finally, when he had collected chutes and ransom, he told the pilot to take off, fly at 10,000 feet with landing gear down and to lower the flaps 15 de- grees. Flaps govern speed and set- tings vary for various planes.
"He knew that plane intimately and he planned to jump right away," Tosaw said. "Tina said he put the chute on as if he'd done it every day.
"He knew that plane intimately and he planned to jump right away," Tosaw said. "Tina said he put the chute on as if he'd done it every day. He just had a little trouble getting the stairs down, He went farther than he planned. He had no idea where he was when he jumped."
Cooper had four parachutes brought to the plane. He cut cords from one of them to lash the money bag into a bundle and to tie it to his waist. Not long after take-off he sent Mucklow to the first-class compartment and told her to draw the curtains. At 8:13 p.m. crew members felt a sudden brief pressure in their ears. That, they decided, was when Cooper jumped. They took no chances, how- ever, and flew on to Reno, Nev., where Cooper had said they could refuel,
The dangling stairs scraped the run- way as Flight 305 landed. Sparks flew up.
It was eight years before anyone found any hard evidence to indicate what had become of Cooper.

Richard Purdy's store and bar and a few houses hidden under gigantic evergreens is all there is to Arlel. When Cooper jumped, "I had a band, Cabin Fever, and I got caught up in the interest and wrote the song (The Ballad of D.B. Cooper). I bought this place in February from Vince and Germaine Tricola."
Airline calculations put Ariel and the lake behind nearby Merwin Dam in the center of the area where Cooper jumped. The FBI came, the Army ·came, private citizens came, said Germaine Tricola, who lives in near- ‘by Woodland.
"The woods got so crowded for a while that a couple of people had to hide their stills. That was funny."
Tricola is a native of Hugo, Minn,, and has relatives "there, in Edina, in St. Paul, half the state." In 1971 her husband worked for Boeing in Seat- tle while she ran the store.
Paul, half the state." In 1971 her husband worked for Boeing in Seat- tle while she ran the store. In 1976 she gave the first D.B. Cooper party.
"It was slow and dull and boring after Labor Day. Toilet-Seat Dave was there one day and I told him I'd just as well close. We got to thinking about how to liven things up. You have to make your own fun up here."
Everybody up and down the river calls him Tollet-Seat Dave, Several couldn't think of his last name. "He makes clear epoxy toilet seats with coins or whatever you want in them," Purdy said. "I guess that's how he got the name." No, said Tri- cola. "He worked for a plumbing supply company in Portland."
'Anyway, his last name is Butterfield.
"It was just an excuse for a local party," Butterfield said, "But the television and all the media picked up on it. Germaine started getting calls from all over. People came from up and down the coast."
This will be the 11th party. If it's like the others, upwards of 500 people "will drift in and out.

This will be the 11th party. If it's like the others, upwards of 500 people "will drift in and out. Most Ifkely the FBI will be represented. The Cooper file is still open. People eat and drink, sing and dance, trot out their theorles.
'Sid Tipper comes to the party once In a while, Tipper, 87, born in Eng- land, came to Vancouver in 1923. He was fishing on the beach the day the boy found part of Cooper's loot. He was fishing the day the FBI moved in
[
to search. Unless it's Christmas and he is playing Santa at a local store,- he'll be fishing there when Tosaw puts his divers in,
"I think Cooper's caught up in one of those creeks (along the Columbia)," Tipper said. "High water lifted that money out. It was one of the highest stages in years."
Many prefer to think otherwise.
"Personally," a man at the bar said, "I think he made it."

They wrote a song, they made a movie with Treat Williams as Cooper and Robert Duval as his nemesis. A person who claimed to know Cooper
got together with a writer and a book came out of that.
They wrote a song, they made a movie with Treat Williams as Cooper and Robert Duval as his nemesis. A person who claimed to know Cooper

ody wrote a letter to the New Y fimes de- scribing Cooper's motives and Min- neapolis playwright John Orlock wrote a play about that.
"One of the great acts of imagination of our time," Orlock said of Cooper's feat.
"A stupid, desperate rascal who en- dangered many lives," said retired FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach, who spent eight years on the case.
Tosaw came in late. He read a news- paper account on the tenth anniver- sary of the jump and it intrigued him.
"I couldn't believe that in 20th Cen- tury America a man could jump out of a plane and disappear. I'd just retired from my law practice, I had
The time and the money, so I decided ¿o investigate."
Tosaw, 61, spent five years with the- FBI before going Into practice at Modesto and suburban Ceres, Calif. Investments in real estate left him comfortably fixed, he said. He still maintains two offices from which he operates the Bureau of Missing Heirs, which he started a year or so ago.
He still maintains two offices from which he operates the Bureau of Missing Heirs, which he started a year or so ago.
The bureau searches for heirs that the state of California can't locate. Tosaw writes the helrs, presents their claims in court, does the legal work, and collects a third as commis- sion. Back to Cooper. Tosaw said that the accounts he found were inade- quate. So he set out to trace the whole event for himself, "step-by- step, seeing everybody." He wrote and published a book himself, "D.B. Cooper, Dead or Alive?" more as an
aid to the search than for hope of · profit. In it he listed the serial num- bers of the bills Cooper got and of- fered a reward for one of them. They were from a Seattle bank's ransom fund (since discontinued) . and had been microfilmed.
"I suppose I've spent, conservatively, $100,000 on the Cooper search," To- saw said. "I spent at least six months up there, not all at once but on many trips. There was the book. I hired two secretaries ... No, I can't make any money on this.
"I spent at least six months up there, not all at once but on many trips. There was the book. I hired two secretaries ... No, I can't make any money on this. But I'd like to finish the job."
It's fun, he said, not an obsession. "It would be if I were depriving anyone, but I have no family." And he is stimulated by the keen interest of others. "If the boy hadn't found that money, I'd be prepared to believe almost any story," Tosaw said. "But once he found it, that should have

Li foreclosed every other theory. Ther is no way the money, pressed togethy er with rubber bands around the packets, could have ridden the cur- rent, been washed for miles, been dredged up or even carried and dropped there."
Last year Tosaw had two divers search the eddy just above the beach. This time, he said he will have 10 divers, cover a great deal more area, and bring Cooper up.
"People don't want me to find him They don't want to hear that D.B. Cooper failed."

Dear
I cannot believe that I did it, but I did

Television is what I watch mainly, the Lakers, Dodgers, the football. Very funny the waay you put that in the play, . So I am no judge of thes things. But I laughed and cryed both and that makes me think it was a good play. The actors and actresses were wonderful. I wish I had known them in my own actual life. Funny, isnt it. -
I wish I could tell you what I felt lik when I stood with the people reading you have up in the b6 b7C
lobbie there. I listen to the things they said, mostly Okay, and I almost cryed, It was allso long ago, wasnt it.

Whether you believe the following information, and how I came to obtain it is a etter for you to decide. By rejecting the information, you are still minus $250,000 and a aniac that has motivated hijacking and mass murdering aboard Airlines.
By rejecting the information, you are still minus $250,000 and a aniac that has motivated hijacking and mass murdering aboard Airlines. I am in no way affiliated with EVIL, or the hijacker "D. B. Copper." I am a man of od., and when the timex comes, you will know just how close I am waitingxwithxbox walking with od. For the time being, we will let it stand, and get to the point.
"D.B. Cooper" ordered the aircraft to circle SEA-TAC airport, as you well know. bu also know, although it is not general public information, that a tape recorder had been bund that had been issuing orders to the pilot long after "Cooper" jumped. What you do not know but God knows) is WHERE he jumped, and the disposition of the money. His letter to you sometime go was a pxyzhuigkext psychological blunder, pointing out the fact that he lost the money bag fter jumping from the aircraft, due to the force of the wind ripping it out of his hand. Before reveal the locality of the ransom money, (and I can pinpoint the sp ot where you can recover (!) let me fill you in as to "Cooper's" MXBYBY plan of operation.
Before reveal the locality of the ransom money, (and I can pinpoint the sp ot where you can recover (!) let me fill you in as to "Cooper's" MXBYBY plan of operation. In the first place, he had accomplice, whom I will reveal a little later. "Cooper" as you have suspected, is a "fire imper" for the National Forest Service. The very name "D.B. Cooper" means, Double Back (to) ooper (Lake)!")
When the aircraft circled around above Sea-Tac Airport, "Cooper" bailed out, saving the recorder running with directions, etc. He planned the jump so that the wind was oming from the Southwest at a certain bate of speed, and would blow him toward the North-northe; ast! His plan was to land in Cooper Lake, not far from Salmon La Sac, a public camping area. 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 ave stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgles, would It you think? The Secret Service is so secret, I wonder if they know what is real?
and also the Secret Service, Both ave stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgles, would It you think? The Secret Service is so secret, I wonder if they know what is real? But that is eside 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: know the exact whereabouts of "D. B. Cooper" and his accomplice, and also the EXACT SPOT that olds the money hidden from the human eye. I will go a little further and say that Cooper, who about 35 years of age, and slighty, or a little more so, kiad bald, is enjoying the holidays this leisure with his accomplice, a very attractive hed-headed woman of about the same age at has a miniature sized dog as a pet. (A check of the passenger list at the time of the hi- ack, and the memory of one of the stewardesses will reveal this to you.) First things first!
You will find the two depraved and mad outlaws about four and one half miles in a a dirt road on the east side of lake Kachess, which is, by the way, a dead end road.
You will find the two depraved and mad outlaws about four and one half miles in a a dirt road on the east side of lake Kachess, which is, by the way, a dead end road. When you ive captured them, and as God, even Jehovah the Father, is my witness, you WILL capture them, ad the maximum penalty of DEATH is too good for them, you will then contact me at the above Idress, and I will lead you to the ransom money. I have tried several times to recover it, but now know why I have been unable to. "Cooper" left the very unstable plastic explosives in the ag with the money, and only a qualified disposal man should handle it. when the bag is recover- 1. The bag is slightly torn and a few bills are missing, but "Ya can't win 'em all!" b6
I am mailing a copy of this letter to a friend of mine, (b7C he Sattle Post*Intelligencer, knowing that he is an honest man, and that he will not foolishly eveal this information for the same reason you won't.

You have your information, and the rest is between you and God (if you believe God), between you and the Devil, (because he would have you disbelieve so that the murder and abomi tions that are continuing to happen because of the desperado fame of this man has gone unchecke name, by the way, and when thex events
ve taken place, he is to have soul rights to the information and "Scoop." this is the will of Heavenly Father. It is also Jehovah's will that I receive the reward for Cooper, and also for he ransom money, the total of which, as I believe, is $50,000. Along with that, out of the indness of your heart, you will present me, as a messenger of God, with two honorary life0time izkets to all parts of the world on your airlines, and honoured by other airlines. This is not ery much to ask, for I will not use them for my own pleasure, but to spread the good news of ir Lord Jesus Christ, and the name of our Father, JEHOVAH.

Dear :
This letter is in regards to the parachuting skyjacking on November 24, 1971 of a Northwest Airlines plane between Seattle, Washington and Reno, Nevada. This case has, so far, not been solved and the skyjacker who collected $200,000 is known only as D.B. Cooper.
In a telephone conversation on November 8, 1973 with at Northwest Airlines, St. Paul, Minnesota, we discussed rewards offered in this case. He told me of rewards having been offered of 10% of recovered amounts, or possibly $25,000 if all is recovered. also told me of a Seattle newspaper offering $5000.
By telephone conversation on November 6, 1973 and personal meeting on November 8, 1973, gave
information to special agent Bob Stranger of the Wilshire Office of the F. B. I. in Los Angeles. This information concerened possibilities of a as a suspect in the November 24, 1971 skyjacking.

To obtain classifiable fingerprints:
1. Use printer's ink.
2. Distribute ink evenly on inking slab.
3. Wash and dry fingers thoroughly.
4. Roll fingers from hail to nail, and avoid allowing fingers to slip.
5. Be sure impressions are recorded in correct order.
6. If an amputation or deformity makes it impossible to print a finger, make a nota- tion to that effect in the individual finger block.
7. If some physical condition makes it impossible to obtain perfect impressions, sub- mit the best that can be obtained with a memo stapled to the card explaining the circumstances.
