Leap hijacker likely killed after jet hijack over Indiana
The hijacking of an American Airlines jet led to the seizure of 500000 dollars in ransom and a submachine gun. Police believe the masked man with a pockmarked face parachuted from the plane and probably did not survive the descent. FBI and state police widened a search across Indiana farmland near the Mississinewa Reservoir, while a missing 2500 dollars remains unaccounted. Stewards received a portion of ransom from the suspect. A farmer found a Spitfire submachine gun and part of the ransom money in his cornfield within the search area.
