FBI case history; the recovered bills are documented fact
In November 1971 a quiet man in a suit jumped out of a Boeing 727 over the dark timber with $200,000 in marked twenties and was never seen again. In 1980 a boy digging a firepit on Tena Bar, a Columbia River sandbar, turned up $5,800 of those exact bills, rotting in their bands. The other $194,200 has never surfaced: lost in the Washougal drainages, buried in a bank of the Columbia, or long gone. The only unsolved air piracy in American history, and the money is still out there.
