Otis Cox of the bureau's Washington, D.C., office said little else has been revealed about : the money. Lab technicians continue to study ¡the loot, particularly for evidence of where it f might have been before it washed up on the
banks of the Columbia River, Otis said, The lumpy wads of money were found buried in shallow sand west of here.
The fate of Cooper, America's first sky-) jacker-for-money, has never been learned, al- though the F.B.I. maintains he is probably long; dead.

PORTLAND - For more than; eight years, Ralph Himmelsbach,j + y an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, followed a nar- row trail of clues and tips in his , quest of a legendary hijacker called D.B. Cooper. But the first real break in the case didn't come : until Himmelsbach's F.B.I. career was drawing to a close.
After 29 years with the bureau, Himmelsbach retired as of Fri- day, a few months before he reaches the mandatory-retirement age of 55.
Himmelsbach was the agent re- ·garded as the bureau's expert on the puzzling case that started ! when the still-unknown sky pirate . Joaped from a Northwest Airlines 727 with 10.000 $20 bills and two parachutes on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971.

- Human skeletal remains found in a rough section of Southwest Washington are those of a teenage girl and not the bones of D.B. Cooper, the airline hijacker, said Federal Bureau of Investigation officials yesterday.
Special Agent Jolm Pringle said Dr. Arch Hamilton, Clark County coroner, determined the skull found near the western boundary of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest belonged to a young girl.
Pringle said the girl's age or identity has not been determined.
The skull and other bones were found Sunday by Jack Bannister, of Yacolt, Clark County, and his son, Jack, as they were panning for gold about five miles from Yacolt, according to the Clark County sheriff's office.
While the sheriff's office said it didn't think the bones belonged to the famed hijacker, speculation had run high that the skull was Coo- per's because it was found in the general area where Cooper bailed out of a plane with $200,000.
Cooper hijacked the plane in Seattle in November, 1971, after pick- ing up $200,000 and bailed out somewhere over Southwestern Washington.

No money, no fish Treasure hunters fail to find more Cooper loot
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) When the fellas gather at Tena Bar, fish stories abound. Hardly anyone wants to talk about the D.B. Cooper money that got away.
T'ena Bar isn't a local watering hole. It's a local fishing hole - and the sand bar on the Columbia River on which the D.B. Cooper loot 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 boy found weathered packets of $20 bills in the sand,
On Wednesday, however, the only evidence of last week's frantic search of the
000 ranson money taken by Cooper in the nation's first hijacking-for-profit nine years ago, after a boy 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 said.
. 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 8-year-old Brian Ingram found the Cooper money. Cooper hi- jacked a Northwest Airlines plane in 1971 and jumped from the back of the jet with $200,000.
The Fazio Brothers, who own the beach next to their farming opera-
tion, seem glad it's over.
"As soon as the FBI left Friday, said Richard Fazio, "Two people came.

Meanwhile, local FBI agents assigned to the case are awaiting the results of tests of the money by the bureau's crime lab in Washington, D.C .; and checking all the leads that invariably crop up when anything to do with the Cooper case is publiciz- ed.
"Every time you have anything un the Cooper .case that gets any publicity, the fallout is a great number of leads - Icok-a-like leads.

By LESLIE L. ZAITZ of The Oregentan etafl
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Guernsey cattle and puzzled fishermen watched with curiosity Tuesday as 20 casually attired FBI agents combed the Columbia River shoreline near here, looking for more of a hijacker's treasure.
The agents, working with garden vrakes and shovels, carefully sifted through the sand on what is known locally as Tena's Bar, a sloping beach about nine miles northwest of Vancou- ver. The beach is owned by New Co- lumbia Gardens Co., which operates a truck and dairy farm behind the beach.
What attracted the searchers was the find Sunday afternoon of a dozen bundles of worn $20 bills, part of the ransom paid more than eight years ago to the legendary "Dan Cooper." A man using that name hijacked a Northwest Airlines jetliner in November 1971 and; parachuted out of the aircraft with 211 pounds of cash totaling $200,000.

The bundles on the beach were! found by 8-year-old Brian Ingram, who was helping his parents, Harold Dwayne and Patricia Ingram, build a fire for a picnic. The family, which moved to Vancouver recently from Oklahoma, had never heard of the man who was widely known at the time of his crime as D.B. Cooper.
Dorwyn Schreuder, the FBI agent ¡supervising the beach search, said the. Ingrams put the money aside after dis- covering it and continued with their "picnic. They reported their discovery to the FBI on Monday.
The site, a popular fishing spot for .Vancouver residents, was guarded by agents Monday night and the search, started about noon Tuesday.

"The Ingrams' find had been about 6 . inches. beneath the surface, Schreuder said. FBI agents Tuesday afternoon, found fragments of at least two other $20 bills. By late Tuesday, several more fragments had been found as deep as 3 feet below the surface.
"We'll be taking some heavy equip- ment, probably backhoes, in there Wednesday to dig deeper," said Bill Baker, assistant special agent in charge of the Portland FBI office.
Schreuder and other agents at the site said they still supported the long- held FBI theory that Cooper died in his parachuting attempt.
"He's probably not alive today," Schreuder said. "If he were, I think he'd be with his money."
The FBI initially was cautious about disclosing the precise location of the discovery. 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.

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 the farm. A Clark County sheriff's deputy guarded the entrance, preventing thell public from getting to the beach.

FBI agents were,to remain on the scene overnight to keep out would-be treasure hunters.
The FBI said how much of the beach would be searched would be determined . after the agency consulted with hy- drologists and others who could provide !! expert advice about from where thel money may have come.
Only half-joking, Schreuder said the agents "could search all the beach from here to Astoria."

FBI calls off search for more hijack money
The FBI has, at least temporarily, called off its search along the Columbia River for more of the money obtained eight years ago by the airplane hijacker : who used the name Dan Cooper.

Jack Pringle; assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle office, said, the search was called off late Thursday night after several days of sand-sifting produced no new evidence. The Seattle office has coordinated
search efforts in the Cooper caper, the only unresolved hijacking on record since it occurred in 1971. -
Pringle said search efforts might be- renewed next week, after the results of laboratory tests are received on the sev- eral thousand dollars in badly decayed $20 bill fragments found by a picnick- ing family Sunday about nine miles downstream from Vancouver.
He said there was a chance the tests "could find additional debris that might give us an idea where (the money) may have been" before it washed onto the river bank.
A geologist serving as consultant to . the FBI has said he believes the money had spent most of the past eight years underwater and was deposited on the sandy beach only within the past year.

The $20 was given to the boy by. Mike Heywood, Hough Elementary School PTA president. Accompanying. the bill was a certificate praising the - boy for his find.
Since finding the money, Brian and his parents, H. Dwayne and Patricia,. have been the subject of network televi- sion newscasts and newspaper articles. Saturday night, the three were satirized on the "Weekend Update" segment of the weekly television show "Saturday. Night Live."

Geologist's finding contradicts theory
By Bud May The Daily News
A thorough search of a Columbia River beach where part of D.B. 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.
1
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
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.
Earlier, Ralph Himmelsbach, a Portland FBI agent who has had charge of following new leads in the Cooper case for a number of ' 'years, said he believed the money must have been deposited within a couple of years after the skyjacking.
He says discovery of the money provided a major break in the case, but puts authorities no closer to locating Cooper, whom Him- melsbach believes is dead.
Agents say the money was tied to Cooper when he bailed out of L the plane, but was no longer with him when it was deposited on the !! : beach. i
If it had still been attached to his body at the bottom of the river when the channel was dredged in 1974, the body would have clogged up the dredge and have been found, agents believe.
Jack Pringle, assistant agent in charge of the Seattle FBI Office, told The Daily News this morning
Jack Pringle, assistant agent in charge of the Seattle FBI Office, told The Daily News this morning that small bits and pieces of $20 bills were located Wednesday when agents continued digging in sand surrounding the spot where a Vancouver family discovered money Sunday.
The Harold Dwayne Ingram family was on an outing north and west of Vancouver when their 8-year-old son, Brian, uncovered ¡several thousand dollars in decomposed bills.
Ingram contacted the Portland FBI Office, and a check of serial numbers conclusively established that the money was part of $200,000 in $20 bills Cooper had when he bailed out of a Northwest Orient Airlines jet over the Lewis River area on Nov. 24, 1971.
Pringle said the area was still being searched today, but no new. . evidence had been located as of this forenoon.
"Some of the area is inaccessible, and there's no way we can search the whole area," Pringle said in Seattle this morning.

Fishing for D.B.
Cooper's loot
1
By PAT MOSER Columbian Staff Writer WASHOUGAL - Bob Devaney watched the ducks peck away at something floating in the Washou- gal River near the Riverside Bowl.
It was March 22, 1977, and Devaney of 4221 F Circle, Washou- gal, was fishing for steelhead. The muddy runoff waters had cleared, and the river was in shape for catching the ocean-going trout.
"I watched the ducks nibbling away," Devaney said. "I waded out to see. That's when I saw the money. At first, I thought it was play money."
But Devaney picked up a bill and examined it.
That's when I saw the money. At first, I thought it was play money."
But Devaney picked up a bill and examined it. It was a real $20 bill, and there were six others to be grabbed from atop the water. '

significant last week when part of the D.B. Cooper hijacking money was found washed up on a Column- bia River beach nine miles down- stream from Vancouver. One theo- ry contends the money could have - washed out of the Washougal River watershed during the nearly 81/2 years since Cooper parachuted from an airliner over Southwest Washington.
A check with the Federal Bureau of Investigation list of serial num- bers on the $200,000 given Cooper didn't match those found by Deva- ney. Davaney still has his $140 tucked away in cellophane bags.
The D.B. Cooper money find also brought significance to a grien . bank bag found by Jack Smith viho lives up the Washougal River, in Skamania County.

Bills 1st solid clue in hijack mystery
By LEVERETT RICHARDS . of The Oregonten staff
The weathered bundles of $20 bills found on the Washington bank of the Columbia River nine miles northwest of Vancouver on Sunday were the first solid clues to the mystery of the "Dan Cooper" aircraft hijacking, FBI agents said Tuesday.
The weathered bundles of $20 bills found on the Washington bank of the Columbia River nine miles northwest of Vancouver on Sunday were the first solid clues to the mystery of the "Dan Cooper" aircraft hijacking, FBI agents said Tuesday.
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.

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.m., airline officials were gather- ting the money and the four parachutes he had demanded. The hijacker released the 36 passengers on board, along with all crew members except one steward- ess and two pilots. The plane then took off and headed south at 7,000 feet in stormy weather.
At 8:10 p.m. the pilots felt a fluctua- tion in cabin pressure which indicated the rear door had been opened. Later tests showed this was when the hijack -; er had bailed out, taking with him the . money and the device that he claimed was a bomb.
Computer calculations and a later reconstruction of the flight persuaded the FBI that Cooper had bailed out near Woodland, Wash., and would have : landed somewhere west of Lake Mer ;.

William Rataczak, first officer (co- pilot) on the hijacked plane who flew the later reconstructions of the hijack flight, said the pilots received no an- swer when they called on the inter: phone to their passenger and were not .. certain he was gone until they landed in Reno, Nev., at 11 p.m.
The "target area" was searched ret peatedly by the FBI, other law enforce-, ment officers and soldiers from Fort Lewis, Wash., but no trace of man or money was found. Northwest Airlines offered a reward, since expired, and hunters and woodsmen continued the search for years without success.
Before Sunday, the only item that had been found from the hijacking was a placard believed to have blown off the bulkhead of the 727 when the door was opened in flight.
It was found 13 miles east of Castle Rock, Wash., in January 1979. The placard, if indeed it came from the hi- jacked plane, "helped to confirm that " the plane was on course all the way, but didn't shed any light on what happened to

"Several thousand dollars" of thel $200,000 obtained eight years ago by: the celebrated airline hijacker who used! the name Dan Cooper was found Sun- day along the Columbia River down- stream from Vancouver, Wash., the FBI reported Tuesday.
Three bundles containing 12 packets of weatherbeaten $20 bills were found In river sand by a picnicking Vancouver family, about nine miles northwest of the city.
FBI agents searching the beach Tuesday afternoon found several more, fragments of $20 bills, some of them s under three feet of sand.
Harold Dwayne Ingram, his wife, Patricia, and their son, Brian, 8, were ypreparing to build a fire on the beach when Brian brushed the sand aside and turned up some of the bills, Ingram said.
"We dug around and found three . bundles of bills tied with rubber bands," Ingram said.
The bills were wet and badly worn, but the serial numbers were legible. The FBI identified the serial numbers and confirmed that they were part of the loot given Cooper when he hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727
The FBI identified the serial numbers and confirmed that they were part of the loot given Cooper when he hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 jetliner between Portland and Seattle on Nov. 24, 1971.
William M. Baker, assistant special agent in charge of the Portland FBI of- fice, said the Ingrams were relatively: new to the Vancouver area, moving there recently from Oklahoma. They had never heard of Cooper, Baker said.
"They took it (the money) home and were talking to some friends about it," Baker said. "The friends pointed out that It might be the money from the ' Cooper thing. That's when they called the FBI."
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent , in charge of the case since the hijack-, ing, said it was the first solid clue to the Cooper mystery since the hijacker bailed out near La Center, Wash., into a winter storm at 8:10 p.m. that Thanks-> giving Eve. The first hijacking for money, the Cooper case became a na- tional sensation.
Baker said it was possible the FBI laboratory In Washington, D.C., could discern fingerprints on the money.
Baker said it was possible the FBI laboratory In Washington, D.C., could discern fingerprints on the money.
"That would be a hell of a break,f he said.
Baker sald the money the Ingrams found had not been counted. At first the amount recovered was estimated at about $4,000, but "we have revised our estimate to several thousand dollars," he said.
Baker said the money was bundled into packages of several sizes at the time of the hijacking, "to make it ap- pear that it was randomly done, as if it was done in a hurry." Because of that, the actual amount could not be estimat- ed, he said.
FBI agents Tuesday were carefully combing the site of the Sunday discov- ery for further clues. The beach, open to the public, Is owned by the New Columbia Gardens Co., a truck and dal- ry farm.
Cooper was seen on the plane tying a nylon cord around his waist, presum- ably to tle the money into a parachute bag. The Ingrams said they did not see any sign of a cloth bag, but Himmels- bach said it would be hard to under- stand how the bundles of bills could have stayed together all these years if they were not in

Found by Family on Outing Part of 'D. B. Cooper" Loot
. WASHINGTON-A young Van- couver, Wash,, family on an outing along the Columbia River last Sunday suddenly stumbled across 12 stacks of moldering money-part of the $200,-
a howling wind and freezing rain in an unreliable parachute. It has been estimated that he hit the ground at a speed of 50 to 70 m.p.h.
With the bills now having been traced definitely to the Cooper loot, 30 agents from the Portland and Seattle FBI
With the bills now having been traced definitely to the Cooper loot, 30 agents from the Portland and Seattle FBI offices have begun an cx- tensive search of the area for more of the money-and possibly for some sign of Cooper or, more likely, his re- mains.
The money-"several thousand dollars," according to one official- was found in Washington about five miles 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. Cooper," according to the agency."
.Shortly after the hijacking, a cuit sprang up around D.
chute. Cooper," according to the agency."
.Shortly after the hijacking, a cuit 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.
Baker said in Portland that wheth- er Cooper got away with the rest of the money was an open question.
The saga began when "Cooper" boarded the jetliner in Portland for an evening flight to Seattle. Once air- borne, he demanded that the airline have $200,000 in $20 bills and three parachutes on hand when the plane landed in Seattle. He threatened to blow up the plane if his demands were not met.
The airline complied, providing the parachutes and money. However, the FBI said Tuesday that the serial numbers of the bills had been record- ed.
Cooper permitted the airliner's 36 passengers to leave the plane in Seat- tle. He then ordered the crew to take the plane to Reno and told the pilot to fly at a relatively low altitude and to cpen the plane's rear stairway.

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-
The decomposed money was found 17 to 20 miles from the jump site by the Ingrams' older son, Brian. The bills were partly buried in sand that the Ingrams were scooping out to build a fire.
"Here's some more wood for the fire, Daddy "' the father recalled his son as saying.

Compiled from news services WASHINGTON - The Federal Bureau of Investigation has found "about $4,000 of the money that the: legendary hijacker, D.B. Cooper, carried with him when he para- chuted from a commercial . jet over Southwest Washington in 1971, a bureau spokesman said Tuesday.
-
The spokesman, who asked not to be named, said a family wan- dering along the banks of the Co- lumbia River north of Portland, Ore., found a packet of money this week.
Held together by a rubber band, the packet of $20 bills was so bad- ly deteriorated the F.B.I. could not make an exact count of the amount, the spokesman said.
Despite the deterioration, the spokesman said the F.B.I. was able to identify the money as part of the $200,000 ransom given to Cooper in Seattle nine years ago.
was able to identify the money as part of the $200,000 ransom given to Cooper in Seattle nine years ago. When the money was given to the ghijacker, the F.B.I. kept records lof the serial numbers.
The packet was found 20 miles Edownstream from the point where' Cooper is believed to have bailed
out of the Northwest Airlines 727, the spokesman said.
He added that with floods along The river it was likely that in nine `years the packet had been carried some distance.
. The Portland and Seattle offices of the F.B.I. were conducting a search in the area, but the spokes- man said it was unlikely that dis- covery of the money packet would aid in the search for Cooper, the only parachute-ransom hijacker in United States history who has not been apprehended.
Cooper boarded a Northwest"
flight in Portland on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, using the name Dan Cooper. Before the plane reached Seattle, Cooper threatened to ex- plode a "bomb" in his brief case if he were not given $200,000 in $20 bills and four parachutes and flown to Reno, Nev.

· Clarl: County sheriff's deputies arrested Ingram at his rented home in Vancouver Monday afternoon. He was released Tuesday night after a local bail bondsman posted Ingram's $500 bail, sheriff's deputies said.
Kathy Kelly, a legal assistant in the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's office, said ingram is scheduled to appear in county district court April 17 for an identification bearing to determine if he is, in fact, the seme Jiarold Ingram sought in Oklahoma.

The warrant for Ingram's arrest was tiled last month, after Pittsburg County District Attorney Don Roberts recognized newspaper photos of Ingram that circulated nationwide in the wake of his family's discovery of a portion of D.B. Cooper's loot.
Cooper parachuted into a freezing rainstorm over, Southwest Washington with $200,000 after hijacking a Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane Nov. 24, 1971. ..
Ingram's son, Brian, unearthed several thousand dol- lars of the ransom money Feb. 10, as he dug a fire pit in .the sand along the banks of the Columbia River down- stream from Vancouver.
The next day, Ingram turned the money over to the FBI, which announced the find with great fanfare at a press conference featuring the Ingram family.
"Several of us read the paper and recognized bim." Roberts told The Associated Press. "We had a warrant sworn out to have him brought back."
Ingram's arrest is the latest in a string of reversals that have followed his family's brief glow in the lime- light.

Two weeks after the money was discovered, Ingram's; wife, Patricia, reported that her husband was forced to i give up Il% days of' pay - about $100 - in order to
return the money'and attend the FBI's press conference. "We live from paycheck to paycheck, and we could: sure use that $100," she told The Post-Intelligencer at the time.
Mrs. Ingram told The P-I that recovery of the skyjack foot also resulted in family strife that arose when a relative tried to take credit for finding the money.
Late Saturday night, about 35 hours before Ingram was arrested, a fire broke out in an upstairs bedroom of the Ingram home and caused $1.000 damage before : Vancouver firefighters could put it out.
Vancouver Fire Marshal Gordon Gage said the blaze was caused by a short in an extension cord.
. And as of yesterday, Ingram had missed three days of . work this week at the U-Cart Concrete Manufacturing Co. in Vancouver.
"We're trying to reach him, because we really want to help him," U.Cart owner Jce Tanner said yesterday. Tanner said his firm intends to advance Ingran the money "to get this thing in Oklahoma squared away.

"I've been told be (ingram) has been making pay- ; ments on this car loan, and he's only a couple ofi payments behind," Tanner said.

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.
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.
Since last month Ingram has:
@ 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.

Officials in Oklahoma said they recognized Ingram from newspaper photographs that appeared after the
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. He said he notified the finance company when he and his family moved here from Oklahoma last winter.
His arrest Monday was an unhappy surprise, he said.
"I had no idea I had a warrant on me," he said. "That's obvious, or I wouldn't be flashing my face all over the world."
He might have been late with a payment or two, he said, "but rich people do that, too, don't they?

He might have been late with a payment or two, he said, "but rich people do that, too, don't they?"
But things were looking up for Ingram
today. 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.
"These people are great here," Ingram said of his fellow employees. "They want tol back me 100 percent."
"He's been treated unfairly," Tanner said.

"It is expected the Seattle Office will continue to give this matter close supervisory attention and insure investigation is conducted promptly and thoroughly."
In view of this, the enclosed information is being submitted. in memorandum form, first for supervisor evaluation and approval prior to being forwarded to the Bureau for approval.
A key witness, was very adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception was not a good likeness of the hijacker. In an FD-302 dated 12/2/71, stated that the coneption was not, in her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out photo #KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that is him, except for the years and hair." She explained that the person depicted in that particular photo closely resembled the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should be. somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo KK5-1.

A comparison of the artist's composite of UNSUB and photo KK5-1 revealed the primary difference between the two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much younger than theman depicted in photo KK5-1. The man in / KK5-1 appears to be in his mid-40s while the composite shows `the man in his late 20s or early 30s. SEARCHED INDEXED

He also insisted on the return of the original note and the envelope and appeared especially careful to see that nothing of his was left behind.

After the plane was airborne, there was conversation and the hijacker regarding her opening the rear door and extending the stairway. She told him that she was fearful of being sucked out of the airplane and, accordingly wanted to tie an emergency safety rope around her waist and attach it to a seat in order to prevent being sucked out of the door when she opened it. He told her at that time it would not be necessary for her to use the emergency safety rope inasmuch as he would cut one of the parachute shroud lines for her to insure her safety when she opened the door. It was at this time that he was still working with the para- chute to in some way secure the money to his body. . Shortly thereafter he asked her to demonstrate to him the procedure for opening the rear door, and extending the stairway.
