Jet Age Jesse James (5)
On Feb. 10, 1980, 8-year-old Brian Ingram of Vancouver, playing in the sand along the Columbia River, found a stack of $20 bills frayed around the edges.
The serial numbers matched 294 of the bills -- or $5,880 -- given to Cooper. All the money was found in the top layer of sand on the Tena Bar.
FBI agents combed the beach but were unable to find the other 9,706 bills.
In 1986, the FBI presented Ingram with a $2,760 reward, including 15 of the original Cooper bills. His mother said he bought a motorcycle and VCR and the rest was deposited in a bank for college.
