I thought they [the fbi] had someone pegged for this years ago, but he died in prison. This guy was former military & had pulled the same crime as this.
I might be wrong, but I don’t think so....
Well...
Maybe that was some sort of urban legend.
The link back for this thread is to the FBI Press Room website.
This case hasn’t died for the feds.
Apparently a g-man in the Seattle office has some time to kill so he is taking another crack at this caper.
I think he hit the ground at, pardon the phrase, terminal velocity.
You must be thinking of Richard McCoy, Jr.
On April 1972 McCoy highjacked a 727 in the same way as Dan Cooper. He was arrested two days later and at his home They found a jumpsuit and a duffel bag with $499,970.
