DB Cooper case 'solved' ['matching' fingerprint]
Daily Mail, It's a steady job, But he wants to be a paperback writer ^ | Tueday, August 28, 2018 | Thomas Durante

Burdened by guilt over her knowledge surrounding the case, Marla Cooper came forward earlier this year, claiming she had a 40-year-old family secret protecting her uncle, a man named Lynn Doyle Cooper.

Marla Cooper said she was eight years old when her uncle, whom she called LD Cooper, came to her home, badly injured, for Thanksgiving in 1971 - the day after the infamous incident. He claimed his injuries were the result of a car crash.

Later, she said, her parents came to believe that L.D. Cooper was the hijacker. Mrs Cooper never saw her uncle again after that day and was told he died in 1999...

Marla Cooper also provided investigators with a photograph of LD and a guitar strap that he owned for fingerprint testing.

While the results of the fingerprint test have not yet been determined, authorities seem eager to end the investigation...

In addition, Marla Cooper said that her uncle was fixated on a comic book character named 'Dan Cooper,' the name the skyjacker gave the airline before boarding...

As for the $200,000 ransom, she believed Lynne Cooper lost it all as he parachuted to earth...

There were more than 1,000 possible suspects considered over the past four decades...

Many believe that Cooper was Richard McCoy, a Vietnam War veteran, experienced parachutist and BYU political science student who staged a similar hijacking several months later.

Does sound promising. When can they check the prints?

“concrete of the cornerstone of the Renaissance Center”

My dad (a detroit native) believes that Hoffa was in the trunk of a car that went into car crusher and then into the furnaces on Zug(?) island.

Prints are matched via an electronic data bases. It's a two minute job.

So I call BS....at least temporarily.

I'm guessing never. The FBI is too busy trying to pull off a coup d'etat.

Imagine that! And here lately, Muller and the FBI had me thinking that D.B. Cooper was Donald Trump!

Are there any prints to check against?

Since they’re eager to end the investigation, I’m inclined to think they’ll declare a match whether they have a print to check against or not. Sort of like blaming the Olympic Park bombing on Eric Rudolph...theretofore, had the IOC or USOC supported abortion??

There’s probably as many stories about where as there are storytellers. :^)

Heh heh... not sure I’d seen that one... of course Far Side can’t be posted per the leftist twang who drew it, but it’s posted everywhere else on the web.

Yup. I knew the jets stadium one is false, because why truck a body cross-country when you have perfectly good car crushers or cement contractors or pig farms.

Pig farm, that’s the disposal method of choice for the current Italian mob — but they don’t kill the guy first.

That was a great series finale of a top rate show.

I have the CD soundtrack.

No, he bought his ticket as “D. Cooper.” There was no “B.”

I had a call once on what it would take to do a magnetometer survey over the Everglades to look for a 55 gallon drum. Seems these guys had a lead that Jimmy had been chopped into pieces, put in a drum, and then dropped out of a plane!

I told them “good luck!” (Impossible project, and “treasure hunters” never pay.)
