Skyjacker's fate still debated 20 years later
By Hal Spencer The Associated Press
SEATTLE - Yesterday was D.B. Cooper's 20th anniversary. But was it the 20th year of the legendary skyjacker's death or 20 years since he began a new life with a bagful of stolen green- backs?
As is their annual custom, Cooper fans from Seattle to San Jose, Calif., to Salt Lake City organ- ized celebrations to honor their hero, who they believe melted into society after committing the perfect crime - parachuting from an airliner over Washington state with $200,000 in ransom money on Nov. 24, 1971.
Two decades after the unique exploit, which a retired FBI agent calls stupid and almost certainly fatal, Cooper's real identity is still a mystery.
Two decades after the unique exploit, which a retired FBI agent calls stupid and almost certainly fatal, Cooper's real identity is still a mystery. No- body knows if he's a pile of bleached bones in the mountains of Washington or the guy next door.
Cooper's crime seems almost quaint in today's violent world. And his $200,000 in marked money would hardly make him a rich man.
The story began Thanksgiving eve, when a man wearing dark glasses boarded a Northwest- Orient Airlines Boeing 727 at Portland Interna- tional Airport. He used the name Dan Cooper to purchase his plane ticket. The name became pop- ularized as D.B. Cooper after a law enforcement official erroneously referred to him that way.
Once airborne, "Cooper" handed the stew- ardess a note saying he had a dynamite bomb in his attache case. The man, who chain-smoked Ra- leigh filter-tipped cigarettes and who appeared to be in his middle to late 40s, demanded $200,000 in used $20 bills.
He collected the money - provided by the airline - during a brief stop at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where the 36 passengers were released and the four crew members were kept
He collected the money - provided by the airline - during a brief stop at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where the 36 passengers were released and the four crew members were kept aboard.
Airborne again, Cooper parachuted into a freezing rainstorm at 10,000 feet near tiny Ariel in southwestern Washington, wearing only a busi- ness suit and loafers. The temperature' was 7 below zero, not counting the wind chill factor at the plane's speed of 200 mph.
"It was obviously not well-thought-out .... It was stupid," said Ralph Himmelsbach, the retired
The Associated Press
Sketches made in 1971 are of man believed to be the skyjacker known as D.B. Cooper
FBI agent who spent nearly a decade investigating the crime.
If Cooper didn't freeze to death on his way down, he probably died when he hit the ground, said Himmelsbach, reached at his home in Red- mond, Ore.
"And he came down right smack dab in the middle of the woods in really rugged country," he said. "There are steep, up-and-down ravines in really heavily wooded country. It was a bad place to land, and it is doubtful we would ever find the body.
"There are steep, up-and-down ravines in really heavily wooded country. It was a bad place to land, and it is doubtful we would ever find the body."
The very fact that Cooper's identity has never emerged tells Himmelsbach the man was proba- bly an ex-con.
Himmelsbach said he was further convinced that Cooper was dead after boys playing on the Columbia River in February 1980 found $5,800 in crumbling $20 bills that turned out to be from
Cooper's loot. He speculated that either Cooper landed in the Columbia and drowned, or died In the mountains and the money was washed out.
As usual, Cooper believers are having none of that. Each year, anniversary celebrations are held at taverns named D.B. Cooper in Salt Lake City and San Jose, and at a little bar in Ariel, where, legend has it, Cooper paid an anonymous visit dur- ing an earlier party in his honor.
At the Salt Lake City tavern, where a cele- bration is set for Thanksgiving eve, the customers have a new explanation of Cooper's fate, said bar- tender John Nicolaisen.
A recently published book argues that Cooper was actually Richard F.

Cost of emission control devices on cars has oil, auto industries pointing fingers

WASHINGTON -- There's no dis- pute that toxic and smog-causing fumes spew out of automobile tanks with every fill-up. But there's no agreement on how to control them.
Technology isn't the issue; there already are two proven methods for stopping the emissions.
But the debate has pitted Big Oll against the Big Three automakers. Neither wants to foot the bill for any new controls to ston the emissions.

Centerville, b7C
Tennessee, advised as follows:
She previously had telephone number She currently has telephone number She did watch a program in the fall of 1989 known as "Unsolved Mysteries" and telephonically contacted the telephone number listed on that show about an individual she knows in Centerville.
She currently has telephone number She did watch a program in the fall of 1989 known as "Unsolved Mysteries" and telephonically contacted the telephone number listed on that show about an individual she knows in Centerville.
She has only met the individual known to her as ROBERT ROBERTS, aka Bob, on one occasion. However, she has had several telephonic conversations with him. He resides in a house on Arnold Street, Centerville, Tennessee. She believes ROBERTS has lived in Centerville approximately 18 months. She had a girlfriend who had met ROBERTS. ROBERTS apparently got telephone number from the girlfriend and called one evening. He apparently first contacted her by mistake thinking he was calling the girlfriend: This would have been several months ago. Through her telephonic conversations with ROBERTS, and from her girlfriend, she ascertained that ROBERTS came to Centerville, Tennessee, from California. He was divorced from his wife and family. He appeared to be agitated about the divorce and ROBERTS had moved to Tennessee. ROBERTS, at one time or another, has claimed he was in the U.S. Air Force and/or Navy and has jumped from airplanes or has been a parachutist.
ROBERTS, at one time or another, has claimed he was in the U.S. Air Force and/or Navy and has jumped from airplanes or has been a parachutist. He even claimed he hurt his toes in a parachute drop and cannot straighten his toes. He alluded on one occasion as to his previous wife being from somewhere in Tennessee. He seems to be a rather strange individual, has no visible means of support, and is always talking about various jobs he had in the past, and she wondered about his background.
She recalled on one occasion she asked him about his money and he told her his wife had obtained his money when she divorced him. On one occasion, he even claimed he had $200, 000.00 that he could not touch and could not use the money. However, ROBERTS was always coming up with some wild story and she really did not know when he was telling the truth or trying to "put one over on her". On one occasion, her friend was having

ROBERTS was always telling her things and
was not sure if he was telling the truth or making up stories. She had told ROBERTS she was going to watch the television show "Unsolved Mysteries" and ROBERTS had told her not to watch the following week. That was the week she had seen the episode on D. B. COOPER. She had read the book about D. B. COOPER and his hijacking of the airplane back in 1971. She had then begun to think about it after he numerous talks with ROBERTS and his strange actions and thought he might somehow be involved or might be that individual.
She described ROBERTS as follows:

Age	About 70 years
She described ROBERTS as follows:

To be very truthful would not have thought much about it other than the fact that ROBERTS had brought up the $200, 000.00 and because he acts so strange and tells so many tales, she put the two together and thought he perhaps could be a suspect.

There is no arrest record for ROBERT I. ROBERTS at the CENTERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT. However, one of the Centerville detectives is familiar with ROBERTS.

In a recently completed manuscript, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (D. B. Cooper - No Longer a Mystery)," RUSSELL P. CALAME, former SAC, Salt Lake City Division, and BERNIE A. RHODES, former Chief U.S. Probation and Parole Agent, contend RICHARD FLOYD MC COY, JR., (Suspect Number 386) was COOPER.
MC COY was considered a suspect because he hijacked a plane five months after NORJAK using essentially the same scheme as UNSUB. MC COY's physical description is similar to UNSUB; however, his age at the time of NORJAK was 29. UNSUB's age was described by witnesses as mid-40s.
MC COY was placed in a Brigham Young University classroom on 11/23/71, the day prior to NORJAK. UNSUB was last seen at about 8:00 p.m. on 11/24/71, when he parachuted into dense woods in southern Washington State. A friend placed MC COY at his residence in Provo, Utah, at 10:00 a.m. on 11/25/71. In April of 1972, all three stewardesses stated they were quite certain MC COY was not identical to COOPER after viewing his photograph.
In April of 1972, all three stewardesses stated they were quite certain MC COY was not identical to COOPER after viewing his photograph.
When Mc COY's home was searched after his arrest, $499,970.00 were recovered from his UNITED AIRLINES hijacking on 4/7/72. No NORJAK ransom money was found.
A comparison between MC COY's fingerprints and NORJAK partials was made with negative results.
This case was featured on "Unsolved Mysteries, " a National Broadcasting Company television series, on 10/12/88 and again on 3/10/89. As a result of that exposure, 206 telephone calls were received after the 10/12/88 show and 193 calls were received after the 3/10/89 show.
The telephone calls fit into five categories:
1. SIGHTING: The caller had recently seen an individual resembling the artist's composite of UNSUB. (No lead)
2. RESEMBLANCE: The caller had an acquaintance who resembled the artist's composite of UNSUB. (No lead)
3. FORMER SUSPECT: The caller was suggesting a suspect that had been previously processed as a NORJAK suspect.

Las Vegas has never been associated with the most famous skyjacking in American history, but in the 1970's an investigation of incredible dimensions was centered in this gambling capitol, one which led to the identification of the legendary Northwest sky- jacker D.B. Cooper. Conducted by a unique pair of characters-an unemployed -aircraft engineer and his son, who was an investigative reporter and freelance writer here -- the investigation shattered the myth surrounding the D.B. Cooper affair and in striking fashion exposed many obscure, never-before-revealed facets of the famous skyjacking, causing one local FBI agent to admit to the two: "You have accomplished the im- possible.
In 1975, freelance journalist Byron Brown met a Hollywood producer who was in Las Vegas to film a sporting event for CBS television, and in- terested him in the idea of making a movie about a bizarre journey he had taken the year before with his father and an old prison buddy of his-a man who claimed to be the legendary D.B. Cooper.' Before long Byron was traveling regularly to Los Angeles to assist in the development of a movie script and to engage in meetings with motion picture executives.
' Before long Byron was traveling regularly to Los Angeles to assist in the development of a movie script and to engage in meetings with motion picture executives. Strategy sessions in Las Vegas nightspots resulted in his going on the road to develop leads and uncover major evidence.
As a native of the Pacific Northwest, I have always been intrigued by the famous skyjacking. Even in Nevada, people instantly recognize the name D.B. Cooper and comment upon the veil of mystery surrounding the crime. Las Vegas, the pre-eminent city of gamblers, obviously appreciates one of its kind; a man who forced the odds to turn in his favor when the chips were down. So when I first met Byron Brown (ironically, not long after.I had seen the movie 'In Pursuit of D.B. 'Cooper), I began to realize that he had, in fact, uncovered the truth about Cooper and also stumbled . upon one of the most exciting stories ever to come across my desk. His sincerity and the massive documentation he showed me he has the only

known photographs of the man now identified as D.B. Cooper, which will be published in Las Vegan's November issue-convinced me that he had spent many years professionally researching and investigating obscure leads and myriad new facts about the skyjacking. Byron, then completing his book on the sub- ject, was hesitant to share his information at first, but my inquisitiveness about the famous criminal prompted him to begin work on this exclusive two-part series for Las Vegan.
The D.B. Cooper matter is a complex and serious one. Shortly after the skyjacking, FBI agents in charge of the investigation concluded that Cooper had probably died in his extraor- dinary leap from the commercial airliner. But to be on the safe side, in 1976 the U.S. Justice Department issued a re-indictment of Cooper in Portland, Oregon, which effectively nullified any statute-of-limitations on the crime. Technically, therefore, Cooper still may be prosecuted, so the FBI has never clos- ed its file on the case.
