1410-10I certainly hope I can be of some help in finding this sky pirate, although this is just a hunch!
I am sure you remember when those gas station attendants were killed ... executed. I was in my late teens then and read about that horrible episode. I called the Seattle Police Station, I am sure it was, and told them I realized that all those men killed had last names that had four letters in them and they all had a meaning in every day life. For instance, Fair was one of the names. I do not remember the ofliens off others hand. Now this was just a hunch but it was in the papers the next day as being a possibility that the killers worked this way for some weird reason.
As for the guy who parachuted out of the plane with $200, 000 and gave a name as D.
Now this was just a hunch but it was in the papers the next day as being a possibility that the killers worked this way for some weird reason.
As for the guy who parachuted out of the plane with $200, 000 and gave a name as D. B. Cooper --- that's hardly his real name --- I think he may have used a name that is part of his real name, like Cooper Beatty, which could be possible. He is a sort of clever fellow, he appeared calm and did not seem to have a care in the world, according to passengers. It could be Cooper Beatty is another alias -- but ,maybe not. He may be laughing up his sleeve, thinking he pulled this off, just because the authorities did not think of such a simple thing as reversing his name --- reversing the last name with the first two initials.

DB Cooper-522Call me a name freak if you wish, but it's worth think- ing about.
Cooper Beatty, pronounced Beedee. I really hopt that I have been of some help.
Thank you.

Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings PlaWith regard to the recent hijacking of a plane involving a $200,000 ransom payoff:
My son has a friend who drops by the house occasionally. One evening about a week ago the friend came by and, in the process of the conversation, he mentioned that he was going to have a $200,000 wedding. Jokingly I asked if by some chance he was in on the hijacking of the airplane. His answer was yes, and my uncle who lives in the vicinity of Vancouver, Washington, even looks like the hijacker and even owns a Cessna 310, is an ex-paratrooper and does sky diving.
The last name of the friend's father is The father is a pilot and works for City Transfer in Kent, Wash.
The last name of the friend's father is The father is a pilot and works for City Transfer in Kent, Wash.
My son informed me that his friend or his friend's father went to Portland or vicinity at about the time the hijacking transpired.

There is a man named who works as Oregon. The man fits the physical description and wears dark glasses most of the time. After the time of the hijacking he has become very much less sociable. The man's history has been somewhat unstable as far as employment, which includes work in a bank. The above information is hearsay but was convincing enough to be very believable in addition to other information I cannot ac- curately remember enough to convey correctly.
