The case of D.B. Cooper is one of the most famous crimes in American history. It is also the only skyjacking in the world that has gone unsolved. Over the past three decades, the FBI has investigated nearly 1,000 suspects. They might as well be looking for Sasquatch. D.B. Cooper is folklore now. He’s inspired books, movies, safety regulations for airplanes, and treasure hunters.

Lyle Christiansen contacts the detectives at Sherlock Investigations, a P.I. agency on the Upper West Side, claiming his brother, Kenny, is "without a doubt" Cooper.

See the article. Looks like there is a very good chance his brother was the guy.

Having read the article at the link, and further links, I agree the arguments are compelling.

But thorough as they seem to be, the articles fail to address a few very relevant points:

Was it possible in 1972 to track the approximate location of the 727 when Cooper jumped? How about the on board navigation equipment? Did keeping the plane at 10,000 prevent any attempt at tracking?

Next, someone had to prepare the parachutes that were delivered to Cooper and would know for a fact whether the parachutes were fully functional or rigged to fail.
The FBI would certainly know that and this long after the fact, there is no reason to keep this detail secret.
