A blonde haired man in his 20s is being questioned by the FBI after a manhunt for a hijacker who jumped from a United Airlines 727 with 200000 in ransom. Another hijacker extorted 500000 and heads for Algeria with a companion aboard a Western Airlines jet seized from San Francisco. Deputies near Reno Jail say the suspect matches the Reno hijacker description. FBI identifies Robb D. Heady as a 22 year old from Reno.
