ad in newspapers around
Oregon a nd Washington,
asking Cooper to contact
him.Later, while Fleming and
millionaire Max Palevsky .
were organizing LA, an in-
termediary offered to put
the n ew srn a n in contact
with Cooperfor $30,000.
Palevsky put up the money
and Fleming flew up to
meet Cooper, d r a g g in g
along two tape recorders, a
motion picture c a m e r a,
two cameraman and $30,-
000 in cash.
The l~e2.dli:ie on the
third ami final installment
&#39;read: ls D. B. Cooper the
real D. B. Cooper?" There
is considerable reason for
doubt, since the men who
police say talked to F lem-
ing - and who allegedly
took his $30,000 -- have
been arrested by the FBI
on charges of defrauding
Fleming oi his money.
i Arrested Before Story
The arrest took place on
May 2, long before Flem-
ing wrote his story for LA.
Why did Fleming pub-
lish the story in a manner
that led some readers, un-
&#39; aware oi the fraud arrest,
to" believe that the early
installments were the real
thing! IFleming doesn&#39;t feel that
- the initial installment wasdeceptive. n o t i n g that"there were disclaimers in/92._,_
- e.

as I did," Fleming says.
It&#39;s an adventure siory, ~
as much about me as
about D. B. Cooper, and Iwanted go put the readerm my s oes. If the reader
was reasonably alert, hewould tliave seen in thepress t at these guys had
been busted by the FBI."lithe man Fleming in-
terviewed was not D._B.
iolopei -I and 1;lEII1ll&#39;lg- otai y sure e was
not the hijacker-then he
was a masterful con man,
to hear Fleming tell it.

"I gave n&#39;iin the whole_$30,000 at our first meet-
