full title DB Cooper case 'solved': FBI tells niece of skyjacking suspect they are ready to close one of America's biggest mysteries after 'matching' fingerprint
“Marla Cooper says her uncle came home the day after hijacking ‘badly injured’”
I’m not buying that Cooper jumped out of a 727, landed in rugged terrain dusted himself off, and then hiked home just in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

DB Cooper case 'solved': FBI tells niece of skyjacking suspect they are ready to close one of America's biggest mysteries after 'matching' fingerprint
This kind of sounds like the last episode of “The Fugitive” when the character played by J D Cannon finally gives in and admits to seeing the one armed man murder Richard Kimble’s wife.
“While the results of the fingerprint test have not yet been determined, authorities seem eager to end the investigation...”
Misleading headline.
Sounds a lot like Jesse James showing up for dinner in the 1950’s, Butch Cassidy going to Sundance’s wedding to Etta Place in 2005 and Elvis replying to his fan mail...oh, and Adolf Hitler fly fishing on a Chilean river.
And Spartacus ...
Does sound promising. When can they check the prints?
27 posts and the Far Side cartoon isn’t up yet?
Sounds like a Hollywood fairy tale to me.
thanks for the sensible chuckle
"The FBI announced that no fingerprints had been found on a guitar strap made by L.D. Cooper.[139] One week later, they added that his DNA did not match the partial DNA profile obtained from the hijacker's tie, but acknowledged, once again, that there is no certainty that the hijacker was the source of the organic material obtained from the tie."
