From the article: "I have a suspect (William "Wolfgang" Gossett) who worked for the military, was a trained military parachuter, had special knowledge of aircraft and CIA operations in Southeast Asia, was obsessed with road flares, and retired from the Army at Fort Lewis, Wash. (near where the D.B. Cooper incident took place)...Cook maintains Gossett, a former ROTC instructor at Weber State who was 73 when he died in 2003 in Oregon, is the elusive hijacker. He described Gossett as the consummate chameleon who eluded authorities despite a string of highly visible jobs that included private investigator, radio talk show host and priest in the Old Roman Catholic Church."

It is an intriguing mystery.

I doubt that Cooper went to visit this lady and told her to shut up. That doesn’t make sense. Why would anyone do that, in person, no less.

$200,000 was a lot of money back then.

In 1970 the average income was around $10,000.

Since the guy died, couldn’t they examine his finances and see if he had this kind of money stashed away?

the more I think about this case, the more I think it is somehow connected to the JFK assassination!

"Janet has no reason whatsoever to lie, so I believe her story...."

The problem with this is that some people will lie for no reason.

William Gossett
On August 4, 2008, Canadian Press reported that a Spokane, Washington, lawyer believes that the ransom money is stored in a Vancouver, British Columbia, safe deposit box under the name of William Gossett, a college instructor from Ogden, Utah, who died in 2003. Lawyer Galen Cook says that Gossett matches the sketches circulated by the FBI. Also, Gossett is alleged to have bragged to his sons about the hijacking and shown them a key to the safe deposit box.[52] Gossett is also said to have confessed to two people, including a judge and a lawyer, and his own son also believed his father to be the hijacker.[53] By fleeing from the country, Cooper would be out of law enforcement boundaries. (The value of this is unclear given Canada’s extradition treaty with the United States, though the current treaty came into effect five years after the hijacking.)
