This part lost me.

““And please tell the lackey cops” was decoded to mean “I am 1st LT Robert Rackstraw,” according to Colbert.

Elvis is alive. I know because I hear him singing when I’am in the shower.

You mean DB is working at DQ?

[aynrandfreak]

That name, remorse, remorse!

[proxy_user]

Hard to say. People here are better-educated than they let on.

I once started posting in Anglo-Saxon, and several posters responded...

[ThomasThomas]

He was a Russian spy?!?!

[left that other site]

Even if he himself had said it?

And it’s greatly to his credit.

D.B. Cooper went out the rear exit, hit a 180 kt windstream, went ass over teakettle, balled up in his parachute, and plunged to his death.

Geez, he couldn’t even see as he fell. What must have been going through his mind......

Interesting that they had sketches of the guy-----the stewardess got a very good look at him.

But nobody ever surfaced saying," I went to school with that guy. Or "he was on my bowling league."
Or" I worked with him." Or "he went to my church."

Odd that not even one person recognized him from the sketch.

A very different FBI then and not run by DC

Sometimes sketches like that are uncanny - I can’t imagine how they do it - but sometimes they don’t look a thing like the perp.

I think he died in the jump.

This comes from a television producer who needs a hook for the next special he’s working on.

Sound like some crypto jumping “expert” did the decode.

OK, provide the cipher key if it’s true.

Well, at least it wasn’t Ralph Rackstraw...

From the article:

An earlier letter, addressed to four different newspapers, contained hidden identifiers — including his military units — that pointed to Rackstraw, now 74 and living in the San Diego area. Rackstraw, who could not be reached for comment, was previously investigated and cleared by authorities of being Cooper, but he remains the most likely suspect in the elusive case.

What must have been going through his mind....

A spruce tree?....................

[elcid1970]

Well, it sure wasn’t “At least I got away with the money, they’ll never find it!”

[Rinnwald]

This part lost me.

““And please tell the lackey cops” was decoded to mean “I am 1st LT Robert Rackstraw,” according to Colbert.

"Get the @!*%%#$ off my lawn!" means "Rinnwald is John Wilkes Booth reincarnated as Voldemort."

With the parachute not opening

[The Chid]

And he's EVIL!

No, Sorry, that was Johnny Johnson.

My bad!
