I don’t like it they’re using DNA companies to find criminals through their relatives but Cooper is likely dead by now so why not.

He jumped from the side door of a 727. Dangerous jump with likely injury.
No. He jumped from the rear door:
Boeing 727
Tests were conducted over Thailand in 1968 and the aircraft seemed uniquely capable of quickly air dropping pallets of cargo as well and jumpers while retaining overall airliner appearance and performance. The extent of which this capability was used once it was proven is not clear, but I have been told that it was in fact used repeatedly in Laos and other "border regions" where America was not technically supposed to be.
Primarily as a result of DB Cooper, the rear door was phased out.
