I think the money came from a ransom package kept at banks so all of the bills were marked and had their serial numbers logged. Apart from the bundle found at the river, none of those bills have ever been identified in circulation meaning it's unlikely they were ever spent. Pretty strong evidence he never survived the jump and wound up being composted into the Washington forest.

Hard to believe he died if they haven't found a body, a parachute, or the majority of the money (believe they only found 5,800 dollars washed down the river. If they found one of those things I would definitely say he died on the jump.

In the 70s and 80s if you went anywhere besides Canada and the US and paid for meals, drinks, etc. in cash I have a hard time believing that serial numbers on 20 dollar bills would be recorded and the information sent to the US Government. Maybe I'm wrong though.
