LISTEN ONLINE ON KFI

Sorry I didn't post sooner. This is fascinating about D.B. Cooper. They may have actually identified who he was --- he survived the jump.

On the page where they show the pictures, the younger suspect picture is pretty much a dead ringer.

They make a compelling case. It’s looking an awful lot like the true identity of “D.B. Cooper” may be known soon

Before he died, he told his sons who he was. One Christmas, when Greg was young, his dad whipped out a wad of 100-dollar bills. He never really had money before.

KFI...
Thanks for the link, but KFI, like many US stations will not stream to a foreign IP.

Other options for FReepers out of the US is WABC.

I am listening now to Kook to Kook.
WABC also has Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingram, and others.
The only downside is IMUS...yuk.

Nov 25, 1971, everyone was looking for him in Washington. He made it over the Columbia River and made it into Oregon. He apparently planted some money on the Washington side of the river to throw them off track. An 8-year-old kid had found some money in the mud not too long ago that they apparently believe was linked to the hijacking.

Greg and a stepmother were either told or saw a key to a safe deposit box in Vancouver.

If it was on C2C or in the weekly world news, the chances it is true are very low.

Many stations stream it, but I don’t know how many to a foreign IP.

DB was a gambler. He may have lost most or all of it at the casinos.

DB died at 73, broke and nearly homeless. Some friends took him in. All he had at the end was his dog, jogging shoes, and lime green socks he always wore jogging. He had a few strokes and heart attacks.

Next Wednesday, a newspaper is going to run the full story.

Coast listener Kent B. sent in this modified illustration of D.B. Cooper (center) to show just how little would need to change for the original 1972 FBI composite drawing of Cooper (right) to match Galen Cook's suspect photo (left).

I do not know why, but over a year ago, stations stopped streaming to foreign IPs.
Maybe they had to pay more fees to do it and not worth the cost. I don’t know.
I can no longer get my home station WREC from Memphis which
carried all my prigrams.
Other option for those outside of the US is to use a proxy server thats in the US.

Wasn’t there a TV show advancing this theory? It had a lot of detail, but I’m just assuming they were talking about the same guy.

Well, the jawline/chin is different. But the upper picture shows a thinner chin.

“We originally thought Cooper was an experienced jumper, perhaps even a paratrooper. We concluded after a few years this was simply not true. No experienced parachutist would have jumped in the pitch-black night, in the rain, with a 200-mile-an-hour wind in his face, wearing loafers and a trench coat. It was simply too risky. He also missed that his reserve chute was only for training and had been sewn shut—something a skilled skydiver would have checked.” --Special Agent Larry Carr
