My father was an avid skydiver during the time of this incident, and was approached by the FBI (as were most experienced skydivers in the northwest at the time) and after being cleared as a suspect, was offered a sum of money to recreate the jump so they could get an idea of where he landed. I don’t know what the amount they offered was, but I remember my father saying it wasn’t enough to attempt the recreation, because the weather conditions and the fact that only one of the ‘chutes he took with him would have opened (the reserve was a ‘dummy’ used for instruction only) were very dangerous and even an experienced skydiver would only have a 50/50 chance of making it. (For you current skydivers, keep in mind this was in the days of the round).
