Interesting. It could be a spoof, but who knows?


A buried parachute suggests he lived?

In 1980, a family on a picnic found 58-hundred dollars of the loot
on a Columbia River beach, near Vancouver. How it got there is
another mystery. Some scientists believed the money bag traveled
down the Washougal River, which is upstream from the beach, miles
from where this parachute was recently found.

One quarter of the ransom suggests he died?

Perhaps he survived the jump, but succommed to the elements?

Have you any more specific idea of the distance between the 'chute
find site, and the money beach site?
