Cooper could not even keep hold of all the cash, there is no way he kept his bail out rig.
DNA analysis wasn’t a thing back in 1971. But if they had kept the cigarette butts that Cooper had used, the mystery might have been solved years ago.
Bombshell has become the most meaningless word in the English language.
Reminds me of days gone by when people dressed well to travel. Today it’s slippers and pajamas.
I thought Cooper demanded and received 5 parachutes, one of which was used for the escape. It would be stupid to keep it.
So everyone remembers the DB Cooper heist, but until reading this I never heard of an identical crime just 5 months later, with the guy caught.
I doubt it...
Interesting
4 years is not "nearly a decade".
'That rig is literally one in a billion,' he told the outlet.
No.
With just a little plastic surgery, Cooper could have easily become a replacement for Mitch McConnell. Enquiring minds want to know!
I think $200,000 went a lot further 53 years ago. Nowadays, it would get you a new pick-up truck, and a medium priced house renovation.
Look! A squirrel!
I was in jump school a few months after that, I thought it was pretty cool the way he pulled that off, it sure beat the airline hijackings and terrorist acts of the era.
FBI: “We have reason to believe it was Donald Trump”
AM host Lars Larson pegged McCoy about a decade ago.
I’m sure he had a parachute strapped on when he jumped out, and I’m sure it was still strapped on when he hit ground.
McCoy had been ruled out before because DB Cooper witnesses looked at photographs of McCoy and said he wasn’t the guy. One would think an eyewitness involved in a hijacking would have his description locked down on their memory. But eyewitness can sometimes make mistakes. But they will have to have significant evidence to offset the eyewitnesses.
Some of it depends on exactly what modifications had been made to that rig and how unique they were and whether this particular rig had those same modifications.
Since we don’t have that info and the FBI does there is not way to evaluate this yet.
What about the rumor that he had some dirt on the Clintons way back then?/s
