In this episode, we consider what the hijacker's actions and words tell us about his prior life experience; whether that experience included military service; and what kind of occupation might have given him the necessary and sufficient knowledge to pull off the hijacking.
We go on to consider the only irrefutable trace of the hijacker's passage: the three bundles of ransom money, once worth about $5,800, found in 1980 at Tena Bar on the Columbia River. Keeping Occam's Razor in mind, we reflect on the simplest hypotheses that might account for the money's journey to Tena Bar.
Finally we look to draw together the strands, and to construct a picture, not of the hijacker's identity which is not our concern, but of the possible next steps that could be taken to shed light on this 53-year old mystery.
