In late 1971 the FBI distributed lists of the ransom serial numbers to financial institutions, casinos, race tracks, and other businesses routinely conducting significant cash transactions, and to law enforcement agencies around the world. Northwest Orient offered a reward of 15 percent of the recovered money, to a maximum of $25,000.[59] In early 1972 Attorney General John Mitchell released the serial numbers to the general public.[60]
In 1972 two men used counterfeit 20-dollar bills printed with Cooper serial numbers to swindle $30,000 from a Newsweek reporter named Karl Fleming, in exchange for an interview with a man they falsely claimed was the hijacker.[61]
In early 1973, with the ransom money still missing, The (Portland) Oregon Journal republished the serial numbers and offered $1,000 to the first person to turn in a ransom bill to the newspaper or any FBI field office.[59] In Seattle, the Post-Intelligencer made a similar offer, with a $5,000 reward.[62] The offers remained in effect until Thanksgiving, 1974, and while there were several near-matches, no genuine bills were found.[63]
In 1975, Northwest Orient's insurer, Global Indemnity Co., complied with an order from the Minnesota Supreme Court and paid the airline's $180,000 claim on the ransom money.[64]
