200 thou was nothing,even then, but he did invest it with Warren Buffett, and he’s now a billionaire. Don’t ask how I know, but I do.

So do they think he’s at the end of the ropes? Squashed in the dirt?

I’ve wonder every once in a while about what happened to DB Cooper.

Of course, his identity is not known for sure. The name he used to buy the ticket was “Dan Cooper,” and “D.B.” was a misunderstanding by the media.

"FBI agent Larry Carr says they pulled on the fabric as much as they could, then cut the ropes. "
Seems rather remiss the FBI didn't dig up the entire area immediately. I guess they need a search warrant before proceeding.

I liked what Journeyman did with the story. Too bad they cancelled the show before it had a chance.

I’m still curious why the FBI doesn’t believe that Richard McCoy was Cooper.

This is Oregon and the proper terminology is...MUD.

Wikipedia:
"That was the last time D. B. Cooper was known to be alive. The FBI believed his descent was at 20:13 over the southwestern portion of the state of Washington, because the aft stairway "bumped" at this time, most likely due to the weight of Cooper being released from the aft stairs. At the time Cooper jumped, the plane was flying through a heavy rainstorm, with no light source coming from the ground due to cloud coverage.[5] Because of the poor visibility, his descent went unnoticed by the United States Air Force F-106 jet fighters tracking the airliner.[22] He initially was believed to have landed southeast of the unincorporated area of Ariel, Washington, near Lake Merwin, 30 miles (48 km) north of Portland, Oregon.[23] Later information puts the jump location about 20 miles (32 km) farther east. To date, his precise landing zone remains unknown."
