Hard to believe this. I was saying in a past thread how people always claim they are a famous person from the past. In the 30s and 40s it was old white guys saying they were Western Outlaws. The dozen or so mobsters who said they killed Jimmy Hoffa, the random nuts who confess to high profile murders, the woman who said she was Amelia Earhart etc.

It was a rainy, windy night, and he jumped out wearing loafers. Likely they fell off before the parachute opened.

Wonder if his skeleton is in a tall Oregon tree.

The Rackstraw story is actually pretty old. It was a History Channel special and the subject of at least one book, ‘The Last Master Outlaw’.

The main ‘investigator’ is a Hollywood producer. Presumably, Rackstraw is being paid for the harassment so the producer doesn’t get the pants sued off him.

Interesting. I knew a fellow from one of the poker clubs who was trying to peddle a story about DB cooper being alive. This was at the advent of the proliferation of email. He had none and asked me to contact some news reporters via email.

He committed suicide that year. Shotgun in the mouth type. But he lost a tremendous about of money that year having been suckered into a scam from one of the many con artist you find hanging around free money.

This was in San Diego.

Some of the money (serial #s matched) was found on a riverbank by a kid, just a few years after the jump.

A parachute found some years ago and thought to be the Cooper chute was not a match.

IMHO, the late Kenny Christiansen was D.B. Cooper.

If he was Cooper couldn’t he just admit it now?
And become rich and famous.

Statute of limitations...am I wrong?

... and the guy is a rickshaw operator,

it’s believed he gave all his illicit gains to the NRA/ILA, and a rottweiler farm in Fresno.

No, really.

Why do they keep saying “D.B.”? The hijacker used the name Dan Cooper.

Doesn’t the FBI have DNA from the hijacker’s tie? Why no mention of that?

Hard to believe that a guy could act like that and not a single video released. Makes me wonder if the FBI is hiding something here.

Maybe he worked for the FBICIASWAMP, so they had to protect him.
