Most Americans have heard of the case of DB Cooper, who is accused of pulling off the only plane hijacking in the history of the United States that has never been solved.
Now, 44 years after the brazen air heist, a Michigan author has put forward a new theory linking the mystery of DB Cooper to an obscure missing person case involving a married father of four who vanished two years before the skyjacking and was never heard from again.
Over the years, the facts of the skyjacking history have become the stuff of legends: on November 24, 1971, a man known by the name Dan Cooper bought a ticket at Portland International Airport in Oregon and boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 to Seattle, Washington.
Author Ross Richardson suggested in his 2014 book 'Still Missing' DB Cooper may be missing Michigan man Richard Lepsy.

"Ferget it already. She crashed and burned." "She bought the farm!"
Neither expression has much chance of being true. "She's sleeping with the fishes" is the more likely scenario, since she disappeared somewhere here:

Iâve heard the theory that D.B. Cooper and the Zodiac Killer were the same man.
D.B. Cooper murdered rubber boats?

Watch the Cronkite report and a reporter asks an FBI agent if Cooper could have jumped from the rear of the plane after it touched down. It was all the FBI agent could do not to say “Are you that stupid?” He stared at the guy a while and finally said “We had the airport covered.”
To: Hootowl
Yep. It was Dan Cooper. When the media started saying D.B. Cooper the FBI left it like that so they could tell real leads from fake leads. If anyone called in with info on D.B. they figured it was probably a hoax.

Have D. B. Cooper and Hilary Clinton ever been seen in the same room together?

I remeber they made a movie about him and the best line from that movie was:
“That’s not just a car, It’s a 1969 Ford Galaxy 500”
“Here’s $2000 for it.”
“It’s your car, man.”

He sorta resembles Lee Harvey Oswald. I wonder if he wasn’t the other sniper on the grassy knoll too?
