On December 1, 1988, the Vancouver office of the FBI was telephonically contacted by of Camas, Washington who has a home phone of stated that on
the night of the hijacking he had been listening to his television and had followed their account of the incident as it unfolded. He stated that shortly after the takeoff from Seattle Airport he went outside his residence and watched for low flying aircraft.
He stated that shortly after the takeoff from Seattle Airport he went outside his residence and watched for low flying aircraft. He stated that sometime after the takeoff. he heard a aircraft flying very low over his residence and then cross the Columbia River and continue heading in a southerly direction.
went on to explain that the aircraft flying south from the Seattle Airport routinely flew directly over his property in the Camas/Washougal area of Washington. He feels that because of the flight path of the airplane it may be possible that Mr. D.B. COOPER had parachuted from the aircraft and landed in the Columbia River adjacent to his residence. He felt that this would explain the money being discovered sometime later down river. concern was that the search for subject's body in the Columbia River has been taking place too far west, he feels that it should be conducted in an area which would be in direct line, if you were to draw a line on the map from Renton, Washington through Ariel, Washington down to a location in Camas, Washington.

Bail set at $5 million for suspect in family slaying
A judge in Elizabeth set bail at $5 million yesterday for a man authorities say is John Emil List, who pleaded innocent to murder- ing his wife, three children and mother almost 18 years ago. 
2
The suspect maintains he is Robert P. Clark, although federal officials say they have positively identified him through finger- prints taken when List served in the military.
List disappeared in November 1971. A few weeks later, police found the bodies of his wife, Helen; three teen-age children, Patricia, Frederick and John; and mother, Alma, in the family home.
