In my opinion the FBI is side stepping up an embarrassing fact. Their initial believed jump area was wrong. Read David Krajicek's article about this on the trutv site. The jump site was likely near Woodland, Wa. I've made a video based on the known facts. If you would like to see it check out my channel. I believe the plane headed SSW from Woodland and within three minutes was over the Tena Bar where he in fact finally jumped. The money found was accidentally dropped there by Cooper.
As for the cold, MacArthur said that the amount of time Cooper was exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, or enduring bitter wind-chills during free-fall, was not a problem. “I’ve jumped in the winter – in Pullman, Washington with snow on the ground,” MacArthur said. “By the time you feel the cold you’re on the ground.
another example of how people don't use their brain...yeah burn the money , that's it ! good idea , even though theres some serial numbers still intact. Luckily , there were smarter people present with her to bring her back down to Earth. Cooper sounds like he had a few more brains than momma did
I look at this like many of the old treasure ships that had been lost for centuries....or like the Titanic. All these ships that were finally found....were not anywhere where everyone thought they might be.....they were considerably wrong in their information. They were all based on false facts and false assumptions.....I think this may be the case with cooper
These FBI guys are such losers. Why dont they just get over the fact that the guy got away and move on? They have never found him, so they say "he must be dead". Well, if that is the case, then why was a body never found? This is just a case of a smart guy that got over on everybody, got his money and got away. He is sitting back in a rocking chair laughing. I think Cooper is cool as hell, and I wish I could meet him lol
He said he used an orange belly reserve with DUMMY written on it.
This would mean the FBI knows who he is since they have the finger prints of military vets and DB cooper left a whiskey glass behind. Me thinks the CIA is protecting him because we did not declare war on Laos but they are still stepping on all those land mines the special forces planted along the border. (War crime since no declared war on Laos at the time)
When I met him in 1992, he was an alcoholic and about 6' 1" tall.
I know who he was but don't need the hassle. The FBI posted wrong information. It was his right eye that had a sagging skin not his left eye. I gave the copy of a newspaper article he had stashed behind the lining of his wallet and gave me as a gift to an attorney for safe keeping.
He learned to do the back door trick working for air america in viet nam dropping troops over Laos. He was from Vancouver WA. He told several people besides my self but the FBI never investigated.
@QuarkToo yeah i call bullshit buddy lol "dont need the hassle" hahahahahaha hey asshole , youre a guaranteed millionaire if you can provide info leading to the solving of the case through tv appearances and book deals . youre full of shit
None of the bills were ever found in circulation. Yet some was found in a river. He jumped during a rainstorm in loafers into a forest and mountain zone. I doubt he survived. But it is cool to think he did and spent the money, in the face of all the evidence.
INTERESTING_FACTS___cooper had 10,000 twenty dollar bills in packets of 100, the bills weighed 21 pounds, in 1980 some campers found 294 of the bills burried in the ground not far from the surface. The serial numbers were verified. To this day NONE of the money has ever been spent......BUT.....this does not necessarily mean he died. He may have dropped the money on the way down and in the dark couldn't find it.......so, he cut his losses and "ran"
Me thinks the money was planted along with the flight path. I doubt a 727 could even make those sharp turns as it passed over the Battleground VOR. Cooper landed in Vancouver Lake and the lake was dredged while he was in prison on unrelated charge. They have his prints and probably know who he is.
I doubt he panicked and didn't make it- the guy was as cool as a cucumber while he was hijacking the plane- Marla Cooper said her 2 uncles came in and L.D. was all bloody and bruised, and stated that he had been in a car accident- well, you don't go back to the house if you've been injured in a car accident- you go back to the house bloody and bruised when you need to hide from the authorities- go figure...
He probably wasn't reported missing because his family disowned them thinking he had too many criminal inclinations. When he hit the ground, he probably ended up like those that jumped from the twin towers: mush. There's nothing left of you once you hit the ground from that level of elevation.
@Greyfort7 chances of landing in water were slim. yes there were lakes and rivers but he made it, and we know he made it because part of the money was found 20 miles away from the plane's flight path.
Cooper was smart enough to demand several parachutes knowing that if he ask for one for himself it would be a dummy. By asking for several there was a possibility that he was going to make one of the crew members jump also.So the feds couldn't take that chance of giving him bad chutes. This nitwit agent is probably the dimwit of the FBI and they didn't know what else to do with him so they made him head of a dead end investigation.
This is what criminals love....Aecheolus[sic] the greek playright, said, once, -" How do you reason, rightly when someones right reasoning, reasons wrongly...Good luck, Smuck[s].
i love how the feds always say he didn't make the jump, how can they say this when they still have never found a body????? they hate being outsmarted.
@ThePearl2004 yeah he fucked their heads up ..is this dube saying that pink parachute is the actual one d.b used to wrap the money in??if so why was'nt the money still with it ?? how did some of the loot get buried miles from where they speculate he died ..wheres the body ??? and what crapp "he wouldnt have felt the air turbulance " standing on the rear staircase??this guys a total dick he would'nt have been born.in 71 .and why cant the FBI get a decent fucking sound- recordist ???
What I don't understamd is this: the FBI revealed a few years ago that Cooper selected a "dummy" (inoperable) chute that was supplied to him. So this means he jumped out of the airplane without a working parachute, which would guarantee death.
So he would be dead, correct? So why is this guy not mentioning this?
@eminboztepe Parachutists jump with two chutes, a main and a backup. He selected a dummy chute for his backup chute, but he did take a functional chute for his main.
Funny thing is that the FBI announced just last week that they have a promising new lead on who DB Cooper was. And here we were just talking about it.
@eminboztepe This isn't completely correct... he demanded four parachutes-- two main chutes and two reserve chutes. When you skydive, you carry one of each of these with you. If the main chute malfunctions or doesn't deploy, you can use the reserve chute as a backup. Yes, one of the reserve chutes was in fact a dummy chute, and Cooper did jump with it, but the chances of the main chute malfunctioning are very slim, so it's likely that he never attempted to deploy the inoperable reserve chute.
2 days after he jumped..people were brought to the area where he landed..they spent a couple of days there..and found no body..no bloody remains..nothing except a few bucks that got awa when he jumped..if he's alive leave him alone..if he has passed on then so be it...case closed
n late 2007 the FBI announced t and made public a significant amount of previously-unreleased evidence.an unusable unit intended for classroom demonstrations. A ripcord was present, but inoperative. Though it had markings identifying it to any experienced skydiver as a dummy,[84] Cooper selected it for his jump, apparently unaware that it was not functional. (He cannibalized the other, functional reserve parachute, probably using its shrouds to secure the money bag to his body.
Really awesome that agent Carr shows this!! I'm wondering how long it took for Cooper to hatch the plan, the fact the money was discovered, leads me to believe Cooper didn't survive... all of that work.. he would have taken every single bill if possible...
I wonder even more where Cooper had planned on vanishing to with the money,
Fascinating case.... I think animals got to him also. What blows me away is that no-one identified the sketch of him, like he didn't exist!
I think Kid Rock said it best in Bawitdaba: "An' for D.B. Cooper an' the money he took. You can look for answers but that ain't fun, now get in the pit and try to love someone."
A Google search shows there is nothing more on the parachute which was found and was suspected to have been Dan Cooper's parachute. If it has been confirmed by the FBI to be the parachute Dan Cooper used, or it has been ruled out as that parachute, it has not been reported.
Last news items on the parachute which was found are dated 2008
@uranorexic Yeah and since this guy says they have dna from the tie, why not go to the brother to get a dna sample from him and do fraternity test as opposed to a paternity test on maury and this could easily be closed.
@seattlepi I saw a video on youtube of a man that puts a camera on his pet skunk and the skunk wonders around and finds a ton of very old $20 bills in the trunk of a dead tree, and it sounds like its pretty close to the estamated landing zone of Copper
Were I the head of the FBI, after looking at this video I would ring up the Seattle office and ask them to send special agent Larry Carr to my office so that I could inform him that he is fired, and that he should consider setting up shop as a psychic because he obviously seems to be one.
if the chute did not open due his panic as stated, then that would explain why the fbi were never able to locate the body or the original chute. a colorful open chute in the forest would stick out like a sore thumb. even if he did land, what are the odds he would have been able to extract the chute from the tangle of branches. he would have been in a hurry to leave the general vicinity and most likely have left the chute as is. the strange thing is that he not once panicked during the hijacking
@123attivo he was in a hurry to leave ? Why ? was there policemen in the forest camping out there waiting for him to land in their location ? dumbass use your head
If he parachuted before and had really good knowledge of aircraft, as the pilots of the plane have indicated he did, then would he not anticipate the force of the wind?
This is extremely interesting. I was only a 7 month or so baby in November 1971. That's the same year/month John List murdered his family in Westfield, N.J. I remember reading somewhere that List could have been Cooper, but judging from this, List, who was arrested and died in prison, wouldn't have survived the jump!
@nipzilla Dan Cooper was alone when he bailed because he had sent the air hostess into the cockpit earlier. A red light went up in the cockpit when Dan Cooper open the door from which he bailed.
So we know the point in the flight's path after which Cooper jumped. But no body was found in any search made immediately after the incident of the approximately known area into which Dan Cooper must have landed.
If Dan Cooper fell to his death then his body should have been on the ground
If he did survive I feel this is why the rest of the money was not found. He stated at first he wanted to go to mexico. If he did go to mexico and changed the money into mexican currency and change it back into U.S. currency. and spent the cleaned money here it would have different serial numbers.The money would most likely never be found again by the FBI who photographed the serial numbers. Or he could of spent the money in Mexico. Did the FBI look for the money in Mexico.

@1955porsche no he never wore goggles which are essential for this kind of jump, this and other mistakes hint that DB knew practically nothing about jumping from an airplane.
Law enforcement always say he died because if they can't hijack a plane and ask for ransom, no one can. They can't believe a normal person can have better skills than the police training.
ok...what about this angle......cooper's body and the money could have been found by hunters ....eventually. They bury his body, take the cash....and....leave 6 grand to make it look good
@writerinindia actually they never found his body....but, I am theorizing that if the police found his body they would have had to turn in the money and the body over to the FBI (assuming they were honest cops). Someone not in law enforcement may feel no obligation to be honest. What really is the most telling bit of info is that Cooper never spent "any" of the money. None of the recorded serial numbers have ever surfaced in circulation in all these years
@inkey2 Is there any way by which bank notes with recorded serial numbers can be traded in for bank notes with unrecorded serial numbers? Are Swiss banks and banks in Holland eager to do all they can to facilitate this? If yes, then Dan Cooper may have laundered the money through a Swiss Secret Bank Account
@inkey2 The money came to be where it did in 3 ways: 1. Dan Cooper changed clothes at this place and the money, forgotten all about by Dan Cooper in his discarded coat's pocket, got left here inadvertently 2.The money came flowing down with the river and got stranded on the beach 3. It was left there or buried there to be found
@Smokey0791 what about the serial numbers? and why are you calling me an idiot? What are you talking about? I have no idea what you are even trying to say.....did you answer the wrong posting?
@inkey2 so what you're saying is it wouldn't be worth the reward money or fame to report finding his body and the money and instead just keep the "hot" cash ? I dont think so....
@Smokey0791 it may not be worth it if the person who found it was an ex-con...or someone with a criminal record.....smart enough to realize that this may only work against him. One thing I have found out from working with the public for many, many years.......there is all kinds of oddball reasons why any individual will do "anything"......we can't always look at things from our own point of view. There is infinate reasons why someone else may make any given decision contrary to our own
@Smokey0791 in closing....let me give you a glaring example of how we can't use our personal logic to figure out what any given individual might do if they found the money. It is documented that......the family who found the $5,800 of coopers money were making a campfire when their son found the money in the sand....the mother said she was just going to throw it in the campfire as it was probably not worth anything now. This is a prime example of an unthinkable option to most people,yet possible
He jumped with $200,000 dollars 30+ years ago!! Get a grip on REALITY you FBI clowns.....Go chase a fabricated Terrorist and beat the rest of us up for tax dollars! LONG LIVE DB COOPER!
@CLOVERCITYY15 I doubt that! In other words "He straps all the crew and they all jump to their deaths".....He planned it and made it! The FBI JUST SUCKS! Ha!
@NoGuyComesClose yea this one dude been workin on the case himself spendedin his own money for yaersssss im sure he noes more htne the cops do....he says he landed in the river and theres no way for him to live....as much as the mystery should live on....the mans dead
maybe get some dna skin cells from that tie as you really pull and grab a tie when
putting on he wouldnt panick this was a successful mission and he left a few grand to make fbi think he was dead.i believe he was caught and broke out of prison and was killed in the infamous fbi shoot out RICHARD FLOYD MCOY JR IS DB COOPER.
Soon after the Cooper incident, a very similiar incident took place ( a year later I believe) with the suspect ended up killed in an FBI gunfight at some home...
If Cooper survived the first jump, then, he would attempt the second heit!
no skydiver that plans a jump from a commerical airliner is going to Panic because he flips over in free-fall.. it is a common thing in the beginning of skydiving and you soon learn how to get back to Belly to earth...
@Cricket202 , TRue and i also think he had planned this all out in detail, probably took sky jumping classes and what not, hell he even knew about the jumbo jet, telling the pilots to turn the flaps to a certain degree to slow the plane down, so he knew what he was doing.
@jetpoweredgriffin LOL i love how you have used a quote that is referring to the kind of character thats wants DB to be alive, and tagged it to the FBI agent. brilliant.
i am not a fbi agent like larry here but if the money found on the columbia riverbank in 1980 ..shows a possibility of cooper landing in the columbia river ..if so the current of the river and tempature from the water would have been damning to his survival.if the money found was apart from what turnpike256 describes he would have landed 15 miles in direction the plane was headed..if he threw that mone befor he actually jumped.
@keeprighton2007 When Mt St Helens erupted, it destroyed any evidence on the ground that could link cooper to his where abouts. The region was covered under thick layers of ash and rock. Any traces are now gone. It would be pointless to go there and try to find anything because your not.
dude if i was that kid who found that money i would not give it to plice i would leep it and im in washington state maby ill find d.b. cooper but ill never tell...
First off I want to know if the FBI had finger printed the airplane that DB Cooper jumped from, especially the seats he was in or used. Also getting matching finger prints from all passengers aboard. With that narrow it down to unknown finger prints. Then check the records from all former or active military personel with jump experience who are from the area or have trained near by.
The money that was found was actually tip money that he tried to offer the stewardess.When they turned down the money he reportedly put it in a pocket, But im sure when you jump out of a plane at 200 mph that money in a pocket would easily fly out. He did have help on the ground, The town nearby where he landed reported a lowflying plane and flashing car lights as if marking a direction dicernable from the air. Dan Cooper just never got greedy it was a thrill run.
@Turnpike256 It does seem its the same money he offered the airline employee and which she refused and which he put in his pocket.
The rest of the money was you know in a knapsack furthermore tied securely with cord. Its unlikely anyone finding the knapsack would leave some money behind for no good reason.
But the money couldntt be there because it flew out of the hijackers's pocket during his descent. In that case the money would fly all over the place, not deposit itself in one spot
@Turnpike256 Even if the money in his pocket was in bundles and not loose, it does seem unlikely the bundles falling out of his pocket during his descent will all fall in the same place
@Turnpike256 Yeah, the FBI doesn't seem to want to admit any of the more logical explanations and would rather have us believe nobody could pull off what Cooper did. It makes the FBI look less god-like and all-powerful to be unable to solve this case, despite all of their resources.
Far easier to offer weak theories and hope the think-for-ourself crowd buys into their story like the sheep do...just like so many other instances where the government appeared impotent.
Pfft, we all know that D.B. Cooper, is Charles Westmoreland... currently incarcerated in Fox River state penitentiary.

Fascinating case.... I think animals got to him also. What blows me away is that no-one identified the sketch of him, like he didn't exist!

A Google search shows there is nothing more on the parachute which was found and was suspected to have been Dan Cooper's parachute. If it has been confirmed by the FBI to be the parachute Dan Cooper used, or it has been ruled out as that parachute, it has not been reported.
Last news items on the parachute which was found are dated 2008

if the chute did not open due his panic as stated, then that would explain why the fbi were never able to locate the body or the original chute. a colorful open chute in the forest would stick out like a sore thumb. even if he did land, what are the odds he would have been able to extract the chute from the tangle of branches. he would have been in a hurry to leave the general vicinity and most likely have left the chute as is. the strange thing is that he not once panicked during the hijacking

This is extremely interesting. I was only a 7 month or so baby in November 1971. That's the same year/month John List murdered his family in Westfield, N.J. I remember reading somewhere that List could have been Cooper, but judging from this, List, who was arrested and died in prison, wouldn't have survived the jump!

@nipzilla Dan Cooper was alone when he bailed because he had sent the air hostess into the cockpit earlier. A red light went up in the cockpit when Dan Cooper open the door from which he bailed.
So we know the point in the flight's path after which Cooper jumped. But no body was found in any search made immediately after the incident of the approximately known area into which Dan Cooper must have landed.
If Dan Cooper fell to his death then his body should have been on the ground

If he did survive I feel this is why the rest of the money was not found. He stated at first he wanted to go to mexico. If he did go to mexico and changed the money into mexican currency and change it back into U.S. currency. and spent the cleaned money here it would have different serial numbers.The money would most likely never be found again by the FBI who photographed the serial numbers. Or he could of spent the money in Mexico. Did the FBI look for the money in Mexico.

@writerinindia actually they never found his body....but, I am theorizing that if the police found his body they would have had to turn in the money and the body over to the FBI (assuming they were honest cops). Someone not in law enforcement may feel no obligation to be honest. What really is the most telling bit of info is that Cooper never spent "any" of the money. None of the recorded serial numbers have ever surfaced in circulation in all these years

@inkey2 Is there any way by which bank notes with recorded serial numbers can be traded in for bank notes with unrecorded serial numbers?

First off I want to know if the FBI had finger printed the airplane that DB Cooper jumped from, especially the seats he was in or used. Also getting matching finger prints from all passengers aboard. With that narrow it down to unknown finger prints. Then check the records from all former or active military personel with jump experience who are from the area or have trained near by.

The money that was found was actually tip money that he tried to offer the stewardess.When they turned down the money he reportedly put it in a pocket, But im sure when you jump out of a plane at 200 mph that money in a pocket would easily fly out. He did have help on the ground, The town nearby where he landed reported a lowflying plane and flashing car lights as if marking a direction dicernable from the air. Dan Cooper just never got greedy it was a thrill run.
Turnpike256 2 years ago 11
@Turnpike256 It does seem its the same money he offered the airline employee and which she refused and which he put in his pocket.
The rest of the money was you know in a knapsack furthermore tied securely with cord. Its unlikely anyone finding the knapsack would leave some money behind for no good reason.
But the money couldntt be there because it flew out of the hijackers's pocket during his descent. In that case the money would fly all over the place, not deposit itself in one spot

@Turnpike256 Yeah, the FBI doesn't seem to want to admit any of the more logical explanations and would rather have us believe nobody could pull off what Cooper did. It makes the FBI look less god-like and all-powerful to be unable to solve this case, despite all of their resources.
Far easier to offer weak theories and hope the think-for-ourself crowd buys into their story like the sheep do...just like so many other instances where the government appeared impotent.
