@goodday811 He's a brilliant person. He got a $200,000 ransom and he jumped out with a parachute. He also planed this flight to get the correct plane. Nobody ever thought of this.
@gatewayeast1609 there was 10,000 $20 bills, most banks admitted to not looking after a few months! think about it, how long do you think it would take to go thru 50 bills a day? there was 30 some pages of numbers to look at, every bank and every casino, business etc etc? the primary reason for taking the numbers was to be used as evidence in court! they could of very well slipped thru, does this mean he survived? no, but it answer the question about the money.
"At 7:37 pm, Flight 305 took off.... And did it ever. At 09:15/10:00 on this video, you see the 727 mysteriously camouflaged as a 747. That is the real Unsolved Mystery. Cooper remains the only person in history to have transformed a 727 into a 747. No doubt that was why he had the plane wait until 737 to take off.
@master82565 that is another hard one, if they did make it you would think these guys would of got in trouble again with the law because they were in trouble all the time, Clarence Carnes said he got a post card from them saying "gone fishing" meaning they got away, he also said they had a boat waiting for them so I'm not really sure they got away because you would think they would have broke the law at some point months or years later being career criminals, I think they had about a 60% chance!
@alumitech007 but i think 100% that morris and that 2 man escape from alcatraz ,police search sfrancisco bay but they did nit find bodies , shore is not far away .... boat? maybe they steal boat in the night and then escape who knows where.
@master82565 the current is very very strong in the bay, that is why Alcatraz was so tough to get away from plus the cold water! nothing was reported stolen at all the next day, no boats,cars,clothes nothing, the current would of took them out to sea very quickly and there was report of a body floating just outside of the Golden gate bridge.
@master82565 he said that was a message telling him they got away, just remember that Carnes was a convict and you really can not trust what he said about anything, when I was younger I thought they might of gotten away, but now I feel they were fish food.
maybe db cooper survived the jump from plane, but that money in the river after many years found, that mean 1 thing db coper survived the jump , beacuse money is evidence that he is alive. but where he hide so many years in woods? i dont think so he go somwhere maybe in mexico ,db cooper is not real name of him, fbi is guilty
@master82565 it's possible he lost all of the money and just disappeared? this could be one reason the money never showed up in circulation, I think it's possible he made it and washed the money outside this country, back in this time who knows what other Countries did with money! it's been proven many times the jump can be made, and they don't really know where he jumped I think it was some where close to portland myself.
@alumitech007 yeah you are wright so he jumped from plane ,he been somewhere in woods hidding, but how he escape in another country canada,mexico? fbi have his picture but i dont think that he is real name db cooper. everbody think that he survived jump only fbi think he not.
@master82565 everyone is saying "the woods" when he had two hours to jump! If his name is not Cooper he could of left the Country with no problem! remember we are talking about 1971 and not today where it is easy to trace and track things! who knows if we will ever find out what really happened!
@Young3Buck ok for a start, none of the passangers were aware that he was hijacking the plan, he made sure of that. the three male crew members were all in the cockpit and from what i understand they never left the cockpit and D.B. Copper never went in to the cockpit, the only people aware of what he was doing out side of the cockpit were female flight attendance. this guy had it all very well planned out and was most likely special forces or war vet. HE OWNED IT LIKE A FUCKING BOSS!
@Young3Buck because no-one other than the stewardesses and the pilot actually knew about the skyjacking until cooper got the plane to land and let all the passengers off
So how can a passenger get into an airplane without having his briefcase checked?thats why the 911 twin towers dissaster happened, the same problem the U.S. are never prepare and will never be prepared for nothing,they are a bunch of idiots.
@MultiSmartass1 another guy did it and asked for 500,000 thousand dollars and got caught after he told someone in a bar while drunk. so stop trying to sound smart.
@KrishnasLittleHelper Typical closeted gay guy you are, you call other people fags because you can't come out of the closet. Just leave straight men like me alone and stop trying to digress. If he wanted 500,000, he would have asked for it-he didnt he asked for 200,000. This was a well planned crime. simple as that.
iam sorry to bring bad news but they found 100,000 not too long ago in a remote forest,the serial numbers matched what they gave cooper,sucks eh,i always hoped he got away with it.
this is show was so great, I remember watching this all the time when it used to be on, then one day I saw it on again but they changed everything from the host to the music. It just doesn't have the same feel anymore. It kind of sucks because they still only show the old stories but everything else is different. I wish they would just rerun these older ones they were so much better
Skepticim is always recommended but Marla Cooper's story is pretty compelling - and she did a 5+ hour polygraph with the FBI and passed. Clearly, she believes that what she is saying is the truth. Her Uncle shows up the next day, looking beat to hell.....she overhears the men in the family saying, "We did it, we did it...- we hijacked an airplane". He was obsessed with a comic book, as the FBI predicted - and on and on. Only time will tell - but her story seems pretty damned good.
I love how this is supposed to be 1971, but everyone is obviously from the mid-late 80s with their clothes and hairstyles. They didn't even bother to try and make this reenactment look like 1971.
The second Cooper woulda told me "All I hav to do is attach this wire to th..." I'd been like BAM!-BAM!-BAM!, landing left crosses all up in his face.
"Is that even a REAL bomb, bitch?!"
BAM!
"Yeah, cap'n? We got another wannabe loser hijacker in aisle 20, oh, it's ok though, he's ALL knocked-out. You want we should call terminal authority or just toss this clown out at 20 000 ft?"
I don't know about this new suspect--where is the money? It is a cliche now but follow the money....if this new suspect is viable what happened to the money? Why hasn't itt ened up in circulation? Why several thousand end up in a river? WHere is the money? That is the central question unless the guy just did it for the thrills...
The day before Thanksgiving (one of the busiest travel days of the year) and there were only 35 passengers on a plane seating over 100, and he walked up and bought a ticket? Wow, those were the days.
And also, what is the statute of limitations for air piracy? I know there's none for murder, but nobody died here, and the FBI said they'd never stop looking.
Glad this case is back in the news-fascinating on so many levels. Thanks for posting - I loved this show as a kid.
@hibob418 I don't believe there is any S.O.L.'s on Federal crimes. ANY Federal crime is AUTOMATICALLY a felony. Federal crimes are open indefinitely until solved.
@hibob418 It is assault with a deadly weapon, threatening to harm is as good as causing harm in a court of law, it's as if he attempted to blow up the plane, if he still lives he'll send the rest of his life in jail if found, especially in a post 9/11 climate.
An Oklahoma City woman is taking to the media that she's "thoroughly convinced" her uncle, Lynn Doyle Cooper (who died in 1999) was DB Cooper. He was from Oregon, would have been around the estimated age of Cooper and obviously the last name matches.. This well may be the most promising lead yet, and a final resolution to this mystery may finally be near.
I'm not an expert in hijacking negotiations, but why not give him 4 defective parachutes? If he decided to take hostages with him, one defective parachute amongst all of them could have been enough to kill them...am I missing something here? I don't understand the reasoning behind only 1 defective parachute????
@elderlyjr Supposable they were in a rush to get the parachutes and a defective one got put in with the others. I would imagine the reason not to give all defective parachutes would be i he had been able to tell which parachutes were defective (he didn't but still) those hostages would be put in unnecessary danger.
@elderlyjr According to the In Search Of episode on this incident, the defective parachute was an error...a ground training parachute that was mixed in by accident at the sky diving school where FBI obtained the parachutes. ..otherwise I agree it would make no sense.
@elderlyjr i have checked several other sources--becuase it baffled me too--and they all say the defective parachute was a class room practice parachute that got mixed in by mistake probably because the sky diving school was rushing to get them to the FBI. But why didn't Cooper notice it was dummy one? The sky diving school said any pro would have instantly known it was a dummy parachute. So possibly that implies he wasn't a pro or trained sky diver.
200k dollars is not alot of money, which was a smart thing he did, if he asked for too much he would have been shafted, it looks like now there is a "tip" from an unknown source to the fbi. which means somebody close to him snitched. thats why you never tell about your misdeads to anyone, especially those closest to you. all the greatest escape artists have been ratted out by those closest to them especially women. james bulger style
@cryostation 200k in 1971 was a lot of money , would be equivalent to over 2 million today at least, Inflation buddy. If this man lived and somehow laundered the money and banked it over the years, He his a wealthy man today and laughing at these agents and theorists.
@Airportris not really, they already found 60k at least of the money, that were waterlogged which suggests he probably drowned, however if he did survive, they just recieved a tip from someone close to him, which means he was foolish enough to reveal his secret to someone clsoe to him. i believe if hei s still alive now only a matter of time before he is caught. all cases involving snitching are allways resolved, because there is no power greater then human jelousy
They had an employee as a suspect. This employee was disgruntled with the exact airline he hijacked. Later this employee bought a house with over 200 thousand dollars cash. Plus he had parachute training.
I'm actually quite certain that Will Gossett was D. B. Cooper. Check out his ID pictures in comparison to the FBI composite sketches on Google Images and you'll see what I'm talking about. In addition, Gossett changed his name and became a Catholic priest in later life. That must count for something…
If you're looking for a fun conspiracy theory and you like D.B. Cooper, then check out Under Suspicion - the Legend of D.B. Cooper. It's on Amazon and is also a Kindle book. The basic theory is that it was an inside job and the only way Cooper would ever be caught is by accident. Lots of fun.
For God's sake, are all airport security so stupid that they think nothing can possibly result from a person who acts like a regular person?
That's what the damn security officer at Logan Airport thought about the terrorists who passed through security on Sep-11, 2001. He said they looked like the angriest people he'd ever seen but he let them through b/c "they were wearing business suits."
@vickiormindyb lmao i dont mean to be mean or anything but he letting them pass cuz thy had suits on was really funny i could imagine him saying that to ppl n have them be likfe wtf lol
I don't believe that Mr. Cooper is still alive. My reason being is that no one has seemed to resemble the profile as described anywhere.... usually missing persons such as this don't stay away for over forty years. I am willing to bet he's dead.
@Jantv81 There is many countries he could have fled to where you can live without anyone knowing you exist, in America this is known but not as much in the rest of the world.
Im not sure but didnt someone find any buried money that must have meant that somebody had the money atleast, even if its not him.
@BIGJOEDAPOET its not creepiest, its just a cool old school 80s horror flick classic tune, also used in alot of 80s metal bands, usually songs about serial killers or hunted houses.
@vickiormindyb First of all, its likely Cooper did not have a bomb. The batteries and Dynamite might have been real but it probably wasn't wired to blow.
Secondly, there were no scanners or security checkpoints in 1971. Cooper could easily have brought a bomb or a gun on board with no problems whatsoever.
Part of the reason Cooper probably hasnt been indentified is because you didn't have the tight security including cameras that are standard issue at any airport today.
@MultiSmartass1 They didn't even have good security in 2001, they waited until my former husband (daughter's dad) and 3,000 others died before they took terrorism seriously.
NOW they treat US like potential terrorists, as if we had no reaction to watching him die right under our noses and would want to become terrorists to put another family through the same thing.
Just b/c THEY'RE animals doesn't mean we are, and they waited until it was too late IMO before they did anything.
However compared to 1971, there was at least some level of security at airports in 2001: metal detectors, security guards and police, cameras.
I'm sorry your ex died and I do agree that the average pasenger even if not stripsearched and detained is sometimes made to feel like a suspect but it seems-like in the Cooper case-it takes a hijacking or a tragedy to get authorities to act in terms of safety.
I call it a master plan! No video from inside the airport. It worked perfectly! How did the woman live? 200K sounds like a nice retirement stash to me!

Keep in mind that Cooper might not have done this just to get a huge amount of money.
If so, he would asked for far more say $500,000.
Cooper-whoever he was-probably knew that 21 pounds-$200,000 was enough of a drag on his aerodynamic ability and he wasnt greedy-I'll give him that.

@hibob418 It is assault with a deadly weapon, threatening to harm is as good as causing harm in a court of law, it's as if he attempted to blow up the plane, if he still lives he'll send the rest of his life in jail if found, especially in a post 9/11 climate.

An Oklahoma City woman is taking to the media that she's "thoroughly convinced" her uncle, Lynn Doyle Cooper (who died in 1999) was DB Cooper. He was from Oregon, would have been around the estimated age of Cooper and obviously the last name matches.. This well may be the most promising lead yet, and a final resolution to this mystery may finally be near.

I'm not an expert in hijacking negotiations, but why not give him 4 defective parachutes? If he decided to take hostages with him, one defective parachute amongst all of them could have been enough to kill them...am I missing something here? I don't understand the reasoning behind only 1 defective parachute????
elderlyjr 7 months ago
@elderlyjr Supposable they were in a rush to get the parachutes and a defective one got put in with the others. I would imagine the reason not to give all defective parachutes would be i he had been able to tell which parachutes were defective (he didn't but still) those hostages would be put in unnecessary danger.
mars3750 7 months ago
@elderlyjr According to the In Search Of episode on this incident, the defective parachute was an error...a ground training parachute that was mixed in by accident at the sky diving school where FBI obtained the parachutes. ..otherwise I agree it would make no sense.
555paint 7 months ago
@elderlyjr i have checked several other sources--becuase it baffled me too--and they all say the defective parachute was a class room practice parachute that got mixed in by mistake probably because the sky diving school was rushing to get them to the FBI. But why didn't Cooper notice it was dummy one? The sky diving school said any pro would have instantly known it was a dummy parachute. So possibly that implies he wasn't a pro or trained sky diver.

200k dollars is not alot of money, which was a smart thing he did, if he asked for too much he would have been shafted, it looks like now there is a "tip" from an unknown source to the fbi. which means somebody close to him snitched. thats why you never tell about your misdeads to anyone, especially those closest to you. all the greatest escape artists have been ratted out by those closest to them especially women. james bulger style

@cryostation 200k in 1971 was a lot of money , would be equivalent to over 2 million today at least, Inflation buddy. If this man lived and somehow laundered the money and banked it over the years, He his a wealthy man today and laughing at these agents and theorists.
Airportris 7 months ago
@Airportris not really, they already found 60k at least of the money, that were waterlogged which suggests he probably drowned, however if he did survive, they just recieved a tip from someone close to him, which means he was foolish enough to reveal his secret to someone clsoe to him. i believe if hei s still alive now only a matter of time before he is caught. all cases involving snitching are allways resolved, because there is no power greater then human jelousy

I'm actually quite certain that Will Gossett was D. B. Cooper. Check out his ID pictures in comparison to the FBI composite sketches on Google Images and you'll see what I'm talking about. In addition, Gossett changed his name and became a Catholic priest in later life. That must count for something…

If you're looking for a fun conspiracy theory and you like D.B. Cooper, then check out Under Suspicion - the Legend of D.B. Cooper. It's on Amazon and is also a Kindle book. The basic theory is that it was an inside job and the only way Cooper would ever be caught is by accident. Lots of fun.

For God's sake, are all airport security so stupid that they think nothing can possibly result from a person who acts like a regular person?
That's what the damn security officer at Logan Airport thought about the terrorists who passed through security on Sep-11, 2001. He said they looked like the angriest people he'd ever seen but he let them through b/c "they were wearing business suits."
That makes no sense to me.

I don't believe that Mr. Cooper is still alive. My reason being is that no one has seemed to resemble the profile as described anywhere.... usually missing persons such as this don't stay away for over forty years. I am willing to bet he's dead.

How the hell did a bomb pass through airport security even back then?
Bombs didn't pass through security even in the 80's. I didn't know they would in the 70's.
I positively despise airplane hijackers, since one of them killed my daughter's dad by flying his plane into the building her dad worked in.
vickiormindyb 1 year ago
@vickiormindyb First of all, its likely Cooper did not have a bomb. The batteries and Dynamite might have been real but it probably wasn't wired to blow.
Secondly, there were no scanners or security checkpoints in 1971. Cooper could easily have brought a bomb or a gun on board with no problems whatsoever.
Part of the reason Cooper probably hasnt been indentified is because you didn't have the tight security including cameras that are standard issue at any airport today.
MultiSmartass1 11 months ago
@MultiSmartass1 They didn't even have good security in 2001, they waited until my former husband (daughter's dad) and 3,000 others died before they took terrorism seriously.
NOW they treat US like potential terrorists, as if we had no reaction to watching him die right under our noses and would want to become terrorists to put another family through the same thing.
Just b/c THEY'RE animals doesn't mean we are, and they waited until it was too late IMO before they did anything.
vickiormindyb 11 months ago
@vickiormindyb You raise sobering but salient points.
However compared to 1971, there was at least some level of security at airports in 2001: metal detectors, security guards and police, cameras.
I'm sorry your ex died and I do agree that the average pasenger even if not stripsearched and detained is sometimes made to feel like a suspect but it seems-like in the Cooper case-it takes a hijacking or a tragedy to get authorities to act in terms of safety.
