I think I found him:

"Gary Larson had Cooper landing into a ring of dogs on a rottweiler farm."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..Check my home page here and scroll down to the bottom.

Here lies the crook D.B. Cooper
a wannabee paratrooper.
He jumped into the night,
fell out of sight,
landed in a balsam fir.

[skeptoid]

I thought they [the fbi] had someone pegged for this years ago, but he died in prison.

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.

DB Cooper update supposedly on Coast (aka Art Bell's old show) during first half-hour of the show.

That is, this half hour.

How can they state with certainty that the money has never surfaced? Is every 7-11 clerk in the nation checking every $20 bill received against a list of numbers? When a store's receipts are turned into a bank, is every serial number checked for 37 years just to catch this guy?

DB went to Hollywood!

Good one! :-)

The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper (1981) .... D.B. Cooper

[Star Traveler]

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....

[justiceseeker93]

Unlike Vince Foster or Ron Brown, or perhaps TWA 800, you can’t blame the D. B. Cooper thing on the Clintons!

[DogByte6RER]

Then again...who is to say that the Clintons didn’t meet D.B. Cooper at Woodstock?

lol

Finder Hopes to Sell ‘71 Hijacking Cash

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Map, News) - In 1980, 8-year-old Brian Ingram found the sole link to the only unsolved airline hijacking in U.S. history buried in the sandy banks of the Columbia River dividing Washington state from Oregon.

Now 36, Ingram hopes to auction the weathered bundle of $20 bills as the FBI launches a new effort to find the unknown hijacker who parachuted into the night after taking over the 1971 Northwest Orient Airlines flight.
