I posted this in the other FReeper thread on this subject...

—

There was an article from a few years ago, in which a woman was claiming that her recently deceased husband was D.B. Cooper, but that she didn’t know about it while he was alive. She only figured it out later and she provided evidence and proof for the fact that he was. She was on TV and there were several articles written.

I was in Portland, OR at the time the plane left Portland, on the way to Seattle, WA. I was at work and it was a stormy night. It was raining “cats and dogs” and was cool. It was around Thanksgiving and we listened to the developments on the radio at work. I can still remember that particular event and what we were doing at work, at the time, because the whole thing was so memorable.

I think the FBI should pay attention to that lady and what evidence that she has. They may solve it that way. I wish I could easily find that article once again. I may try looking for it and posting it here when I find it...

Okay, the following is from the other D.B. Cooper thread...

Thanks, the Wikipedia article has a good explanation of it — under Duane Weber. However, they also said —

“An FBI report released in February 2007 stated that DNA taken from the J.C. Penney tie that Cooper left on the plane was not that of Duane Weber.”

So, that would seem to close the case as far as that particular suspect is concerned. But, I don’t know, though. I would hold out a bit and wait and see what else they come up with. It’s entirely possible that there was other DNA on that tie and the “match” they were trying to get (from the DNA on the tie) may not be the right person that they should have been trying to match.

I’m still holding out for that guy, Weber...

P.S. — I also remember when they found that cash from D.B. Coopers stash, just recently on the Columbia River. I thought that was *absolutely amazing* that it was found that much time later. That just goes to show you that D.B. Cooper *did* get away....
