"Before he was jailed in Fox River, he ran under the name of \"D.B. Cooper\" as an aircraft hijacker who, on November 24, 1971, after receiving a ransom payout of $5,000,000, leapt from the back of a Boeing 727 as it was flying over the Pacific Northwest somewhere over the southern Cascades. The case was never solved, however, he was arrested for something else rather than the hijack. To keep thing quiet, the government announced that only a million was stolen. His wife died soon after leaving his daughter near-orphan. A grandfather clause in the prison's policy allowed him to keep a grey cat named Marilyn. The DOC had repeatedly attempted to transfer Westmoreland to other facilities, though he was unwilling to leave Marylin behind and became adept at using legal loopholes to block his transfers. According to a news article appearing in Michael's apartment, he is 59 years old at the time of the series. Many people, including Michael Scofield came to believe that he may have been the infamous airline hijacker D.B. Cooper. At first Charles denies this but later confesses to Michael by showing him a one hundred dollar bill from the hijacking."@en . . . "Charles Westmoreland"@en . ""@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
