He did survive
I agree.
Survived, but never spent any of the money?
How do you know? They did find one pack of the money decaying in a creek but i think that was it
If they compare the sketch to Boeing Employees and contractors at the time, they may find their man
I agree-I think he survived and lived very quietly so as not to attract undue attention-MrT5 was convinced he went to Canada to live-and most people knew then how to launder small bills, like the ones Cooper specified he would get-it is much harder now to launder even small bills unless you own a business or know a drug cartel capo...
I did one night jump, on a military post,flat open terain,
A large fire in the DZ, to home in on.
About a mile away a group was having a campfire!
One very experienced individual homed in on the wrong fire and came down in some trees.
They found him OK still in the harness.
When ask why he did not climb down his reserve (S O P).
He said, he could not see the ground and did not know if the reserve would safely get him down.
Tall dense woods, freezing rain and ol’DB is not experienced at this.
A shattered ankle or two and you will not get very far.
