Chanté and Rick McCoy III say their father, Richard McCoy Jr, was the man who identified himself as Dan Cooper when he boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines jetliner from Portland to Seattle in November 1971.
“That rig is literally one in a billion,” Gryder said of the parachute, according to the Cowboy State Daily. He said FBI agents had visited the property of the McCoys’ mother, Karen, who died in 2020, last year. Agents searched “every nook and cranny”, according to Gryder, and the McCoys handed over the parachute.
McCoy, a former military helicopter pilot who served in the Vietnam war, was among a number of suspects investigated by the FBI after he hijacked a plane on 7 April 1972, leaping out of the aircraft with $500,000 cash, over Provo, Utah. McCoy was arrested two days later and sentenced to 45 years in prison, but he escaped in 1974 – after three months on the run he was killed by an FBI agent.

The FBI never had much doubt he was DB Cooper, they just couldn't prove it.
—” good luck proving none of your family assets came from that money”
On the positive side like the Norks and a few others, Kim Il-Sung once said that any person who has anti-government sentiments should be wiped out entirely and up to three generations of their family should be punished.
In the US they crush you with lawfare, imputed income tax, and penalties.
—”A fingerprint got him caught after conducting an identical hijacking a few months later.”
“In fact, the dearth of information on the fingerprints is so complete that I’ve never written about it before, and this chapter was not included in previous editions of this book. Along those lines, the early works on Cooper barely mention the fingerprints at all, such as Richard Tosaw’s Dead or Alive – DB Cooper, and they fail to declare any specificity as to number, types, and clarity. More troubling information comes from Geoffrey Gray, who, even with his unlimited access to FBI files, was unable to deliver any definitive statement on the fingerprints in his SKYJACK, and in an email to me in 2020 stated: “However many sets there were… we know the quality and origin are… no good or incomplete.”
The FIBS botched again.

... not.
—”In case we missed it the first seven times it was posted here?”
Nothing comes up on a title search.
Sure Jan.
Thank you! I don’t think they look anything alike. The only resemblance is that they are both men.
The original article ends in TDS calling to stop Trump from shackling the fake news. The DB Cooper story was an effective hook.

Are you shure?

Like Bridge Guy in the Abby and Libby case. One sketch looked to be 20ish and the other a rough guy at least 40. It’s no wonder it took so long finding Bridge Guy who worked at the local CVS store but looked nothing like either sketch. Sadly, too many sketches look nothing like the perps or the deceased Doe victims. The only clay creation that is spot on is the John List one.
Lots of relatives have come forward saying their dad or uncle was Cooper.
I opened the original article and in the last paragraph the author slammed Trump for his fake news stance. Check it out.
It’s weird how memories change. I think the clothes that Bridge Guy was wearing kept changing too. It might not seem to matter but the witness can lose credibility if their story has changed a lot.
I had involvement in a big murder case and everyone went on about how the artist sketch was so good. I don’t get it. I tried to copy them here but can’t make it happen. I can’t even post a link because they include so much other info it’s not worth it. But it was Rodney Alcala if you want to look at it. The sketch looks nothing like him or photos except for curly hair. I don’t get it.
Last lines of the article:
“McCoy was arrested two days later and sentenced to 45 years in prison, but he escaped in 1974 – after three months on the run he was killed by an FBI agent.
Perhaps McCoy died hiding the secret of the DB Cooper hijacking with him – and 50 years on, the truth may finally have come to light.

Not sure what you may be reading?

My bad. I read right into the article below, not recognizing that it was a different article.
