A paleontologist named Tom Kaye has assembled a team that includes a scientific illustrator, a metallurgist, and Brian Ingram, the discoverer of the Columbia River ransom money. They have initiated a multifocal investigation which includes soil, water, and other experiments on the Columbia River and some of its tributaries. Using technology unavailable in 1971, such as satellite maps and GPS, they hope to relocate the exact point of Ingram's 1980 discovery, and then determine if the money floated freely to that location over time, or was found elsewhere and reburied there. Other team members are retracing the 727's flight path from Seattle to Reno, to more precisely estimate Cooper's landing zone. Others are using electron microscopy to examine pollen found on Cooper's tie, in hopes of pinpointing a specific region of the country from which it may have come.[84]
