In 1980, 8-year-old Brian Ingram found the sole link to the only unsolved airline hijacking in U.S. history buried in the sandy banks of the Columbia River.
Now 36, Ingram hopes to auction the weathered bundle of $20 bills as the Federal Bureau of Investigations launches a new effort to find the unknown hijacker who parachuted into the night after taking over the 1971 Northwest Orient Airlines flight.
"Think about it, it was the biggest manhunt. They never found any clues to this man," said Ingram, who followed family ties to Arkansas and now lives in Mena, west of Little Rock in the Ouachita Mountains. "The money that I found in 1980 is the only evidence ever linked to this guy that jumped out of the 727 at the altitude that he did with the weather." - OregonLive
