I remember watching a TV docu-drama about D.B. Cooper when I was a kid. I think Treat Williams played D.B. Cooper in the movie. After landing in the wilderness D.B. Cooper (Treat Williams) used several hundred dollar bills to light a cigar in celebration of his escape.
Anyways...this case has always intrigued me. It would be interesting if the feds could solve it once and for all.

One of the parachutes left behind by Cooper and the canvas bag it came in. Cooper asked for four chutes in all; he jumped with two (including one that was used for instruction and had been sewn shut). He used the cord from one of the remaining parachutes to tie the stolen money bag shut. See a larger version.
This map was made to help investigators figure out where Cooper landed.
Come on! Everyone that was solved years ago. DB Cooper was Newsradio’s Jimmy James. Ha, Ha.
FBI wanted poster of D.B. Cooper
He’s dead. The money was not spent.
FBI sketch of D.B. Cooper age progression.
Illustration of how the 727's rear airstair was used by Cooper to effect his escape. The airstair had not been designed for deployment in flight and was gravity-operated, meaning it fell open and stayed that way until the aircraft landed.
I am D.B. Cooper.
lol
For your sake, I hope the feds aren’t monitoring this thread!

I was 11 years old at the time and quite big for my age.
I thought they [the fbi] had someone pegged for this years ago, but he died in prison. This guy was former military & had pulled the same crime as this.
I might be wrong, but I don’t think so....
“DogByte” = D.B.
hmmmmm....
The FBI re-opening a case from 1971 ???? Clearly, they have too much time on their hands....or way too many agents. What a joke !!!! With “open borders”, a rampant “drug trade” and millions of “islamics” trying to kill us anywhere they can, someone in the FBI administration needs a swift kick in the ass wake up call to help identify priorities !!!
Well...
Maybe that was some sort of urban legend.
The link back for this thread is to the FBI Press Room website.
This case hasn’t died for the feds.
Apparently a g-man in the Seattle office has some time to kill so he is taking another crack at this caper.
Even the larger version of the map is too small to show any details.
