From all that I have read, it is absolutely impossible for the money found a Teena Bar to have gotten there from the satchel that D. B. had in the airplane without direct human intervention. While it is possible that someone in Southwest Washington St. came upon the dead body of D.B. in the wilderness and took the money while concealing the body and parachute, it seems so much more likely that D. B. Survived and got out with the money (Occam’s razor and common sense). Still, it is hard to see how burying two bundles of bills on a beach along the Columbia might fit in to with either scenario.
From what I can tell, the beach is on private land that some people, with permission on the owner, have access to in the summer. In the winter, there would probably be few people around and someone could probably bury something there discreetly but the presence of people in the summer might make it susceptible to being found. Could that have been the intention all along? I don’t have a real handle on the” lay of the land” there. A beach is an easy place to dig a hole, but it would be extremely difficult to find that exact spot months or years later if the intention was to retrieved it at a later time.
The name of the place is Teena Bar and the name of the flight attendant who stayed with him was Tina. Just a coincidence or a weird joke?
I think there is a real possibility that most of the money was hidden in an appropriate place in that general are but DB, for some reason, placed two bundles in that spot. Whatever the reason, he would have had no intention of ever retrieving that money.
At this time, almost 50 years later, it is unlikely that any evidence of other digging or a hidden cash in the general area, could be found.
