Might I suggest, if you have a serial number you wish to check, to contact your local sheriff's office or bank as they should both be in possession of the ransom list.

DB Cooper-28989The FBI Asks Enquirer Readers
Help Us Find Skyjacker Who Escaped With $200,000 Cash
The FBI has asked ENQUIRER readers to help crack the mystery behind one of the great unsolved crimes of the past 25 years - who and where is skyjacker D.B. Cooper ?-
A man using that name hijacked a jetliner in 1971 and parachuted into the darkness over Oregon, carrying $200,000 in cash with him. No trace of him or the money has ever been found."
"Readers of The ENQUIRER could help us solve the mystery," x " said FBI Agent .
No trace of him or the money has ever been found."
"Readers of The ENQUIRER could help us solve the mystery," x " said FBI Agent . Ralph Himmelsbach, who has been working on the case- since the . hijacking. "Since we haven't found' him, the, case is still' open and we're: ,still looking."
SKYJACKER FBI artist's version of the mysterious D.B, Cooper.
Cooper - a tall, dark-complexioned . man neatly dressed in a business suit, topcoat and brown oxfords - hijacked -a Portland-to-Seattle jet on the eve- ning of Nov. 24, 1971.
. He demanded that 10,000 $20-bills be delivered to him'at Seattle along with four parachutes - or he would blow up the plane.
Airline officials complied with his demand. In return, Cooper allowed the 36 passengers and two of the three stewardesses to leave the plane.
He then ordered the pilot to fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200 mph at .10,000 feet with the wing flaps down. He ordered the crew members to stay in the cockpit.
A few minutes later in the dark skies over Oregon; Cooper unlatched the
jet's rear boarding ramp and jumped out, wearing one of the parachutes.
A few minutes later in the dark skies over Oregon; Cooper unlatched the
jet's rear boarding ramp and jumped out, wearing one of the parachutes. . The plane was flying at 196 mph, the temperature was 7 degrees below zero and there were winds of. up to 50 mph. As far as is known, Cooper wore no goggles or protective clothing.
Using a computer, the FBI calculat- ed he parachuted into a 24-square-mile area on the Washington-Oregon border near the rugged shores of Lake Mer- win in an area of dense woods and craggy foothills, almost impenetrable in many places.
"For him to have gotten down un- injured would have been a tremendous feat or a tremendous stroke of luck," said Himmelsbach.
If Cooper died, that night, no one has ever admitted finding his body .. or the $200,000 ransom.
"Let's assume Cooper didn't survive the jump," Himmelsbach said in ex- plaining how ENQUIRER readers could help.
"That means there is someone some- where who went missing about that "time and has never returned. And even if, Cooper did - survive, he may not have returned to his family.
"That means there is someone some- where who went missing about that "time and has never returned. And even if, Cooper did - survive, he may not have returned to his family.
"So, we'd be interested in informa- tion from ENQUIRER readers about any. missing person who might fit Cooper's description ..
"If he did survive the jump, that means that unless he is very careful about spending the money a little at a time, he might be noticeable by any changes in his life-style: If he was not a wealthy man and he started making purchases beyond his means, then this is something to look for. '
"ENQUIRER readers, especially bank tellers and others who regularly handle money, also could help by scan- ning their $20 bills and checking them against the list of missing bills.'
. Anyone who might have specific in- formation that might help solve this
mystery should call or write their local police or FBI office or write to: Special Agent in Charge, FBI, 915 Sec- ond Avenue; Seattle, Wash. 98174.
"Do not send any anonymous Infor- mation. Authorities may wish to con- tact you to confirm the information.

"The federal statute of limi- tations on that crime is five years," said Sidney Lezak, U.S. attorney in-Portland.

In the air, Cooper handed stewardess Tina Mucklow a note saying; he had a bomb. Following . Cooper's orders, Miss Mucklow sat beside him and wrote down instructions to the pilot.
He wanted 10,000 $20 bills to be delivered to him at Seattle in a laundry sack, along with two sets of-parachutes .. Other- wise, he would blow up the plane, he said.
Airline officials and FBI agents complied and Cooper allowed the passengers and two" of. the three stewardesses. to disembark at Seattle.
Then he ordered the plane to fly south to Reno, Nev., at 200 miles per hour, at 10,000 feet, flaps ;down. The crew was to stay in the cockpit.

That was the last ever heard of him,

I gave him my name and position, and he demanded he be connected to a special agent.

He said he will mail us a list of questions in a couple of days, and those questions will deal with captioned matter. He said the crime was a "great thing," and that fifteen people took part in it, not one. He then said he would like to be there when the Victim plane is researched by the FBI.

Before reveal the locality of the ransom money, (and I can pinpoint the spot where you can recover !) let me fill you in as to "Cooper's" XXAXEY 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 mper" 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, aving the recorder running with directions, etc. He planned the jump so that the wind was ming from the Southwest at a certain tate of speed, and would blow him toward the North-northe st! 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 ve stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgles, wou. t you think? The Secret SErvice is so secret, I wonder if they know what is real?
Both ve stupidly ignored me, although it is the duty of the same to check all possible amgles, wou. t you think? The Secret SErvice is so secret, I wonder if they know what is real? But that is side 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 Ids 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, bad bald, is enjoying the holidays his leisure with his accomplice, a very attractive ted-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- ck, 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 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 dirt road on the east side of lake Kachess, which is, by the way, a dead end road. When you ve captured them, and as God, even Jehovah the Father, is my witness, you WILL capture then, d the maximum penalty of DEATH is too good for them, you will then contact me at the above dress, 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 g with the money, and only a qualified disposal man should handle it. when the bag is recover. . The bag is slightly torn and a few bills are missing, but "Ya can't win 'em all!" b6

It is also Jehovah's will that I receive the reward for Cooper, and also for e ransom money, the total of which, as I believe, is $50,000. Along with that, out of the ndness of your heart, you will present me, as a messenger of God, with two honorary lifeOtime! rkets to all parts of the world on your airlines, and honoured by other airlines.
