Seeking D.B. Cooper
Most students of American criminal history have at least heard of D.B. Cooper, the mysterious skyjacker who leaped from a high-flying plane and vanished into history.
About 37 years ago, a man calling himself Cooper seized control of a passenger plane by claiming he was armed with dynamite. He demanded $200,000 and four parachutes and jumped out somewhere between Seattle and Mexico.
That was the last anyone saw of him. His real identity has never been determined, and aside from a boy finding $5,800 of the money in 1980, little trace of Cooper has ever turned up.
Now the FBI is renewing the search for him. Agents want to find out who Cooper was and what happened to him.
New details, including updated sketches and analysis of the case, have been posted on the FBI Web site. Check it out here: www.fbi.gov/page2/dec07/dbcooper123107.html
Have any theories?
For my part, this is one cold case I hope never gets solved. The mystery of D.B. Cooper has fascinated me since I was a child, and it’d ruin it if I found out the truth now. Sometimes it’s better not to know.
