0:08
so you have perhaps one of the most
0:11
notorious items of paper money that I've
0:16
not only seen at this show but may have
0:18
seen at any show in my entire time of
0:21
coming out traveling the country and
0:23
that is paper money fragments relating
0:28
to a very notorious unsolved crime you
0:31
tell me a little bit about it well it's
0:34
a very unique collection that I've been
0:35
trying to collect for maybe five or six
0:37
years now and it got a unique
0:39
opportunity to buy it it's some of the
0:42
and this is actually the ransom money
0:44
that was issued to DB tuber when he
0:46
hijacked a plane in 1971 the original
0:54
from what we understand from all the
0:56
research that's been done the money was
0:58
there was only fifty six hundred dollars
1:00
of it was recovered by mistake
1:05
when he was eight years old he was
1:07
camping in upstate washing
1:11
of that $5,600 the majority of it is not
1:19
but from our best research that we found
1:24
there's approximately 70 notes found to
1:29
Ingram Ingram actually was issued than
1:32
those I think that we are given to keep
1:35
as a memento for finding the money
1:38
Cadillac reward for finding us obviously
1:40
the way the FBI was able to verify that
1:44
these were the notes from that hijacking
1:47
was by matching serial numbers but many
1:49
of these notes are in such a state of
1:51
disarray that one imagines would have
1:53
been very difficult to ascertain what
1:56
they were without the circumstantial
1:59
evidence of being in a and a cache of
2:01
fifty six hundred dollars right so what
2:03
what caused these notes to be so
2:06
deteriorated well you know the hijacking
2:09
was in 1971 and the notes were actually
2:13
discovered in 1980 so they were found
2:16
along the bank of the Columbia River
2:18
from what we understand and somewhat
2:21
buried so paper money after a period of
2:25
in the elements would deteriorate so I
2:27
think that's I think that's what calls
2:29
the damage of the notes but I think
2:31
Laura Kessler actually was the main
2:37
helping attribute you know the notes and
2:40
telling that that they were a real the
2:43
serial numbers and piecing the notes
2:44
together or some of the pieces fit and
2:47
she she was making truth attributor of
2:50
it as well but the FBI actually had the
2:53
majority of the money to to examine
