D.B. Cooper ?

[russau]

We all have read or seen the storis about D.B. Cooper ! But nowhere has anyone gone any further in solving this story . To me it is not possible that when DB showed the "bomb" and said he was hijacking this plane to Mexico that the FBI wasn't notified immediately of this high jacking attempt. The FBI would have notified their closest office and a jet or a helicopter would have been immediately sent to where the plane was being refueled . Who's to say that ALL police departments weren't IMMEDIATLY notified and put on alert to be ready to assist in the tracking /arrest of D.B. if found . the evidence that was found (some lose $20 bills info that was reported on different shows had different locations where the $$$ was found and by whom ? So , could someone of authority be keeping some or all of their story secrete to prevent D.B. or some treasure hunter a lead , OR did the F.B.I. actually caught or know who D.B. is or was incase of his death ? None of the recorded $20. was ever found other than the lose bills found on the Columbian River . that's hard to imagine that NONE was ever found or spent in all these years to me! Someone would have picked him up on that cold and rainy night or he would have exposure problems to these elements.

It was too bad the hair samples and his cigarette butts weren't available to collect his DNA.

Hair samples​

FBI agents found two hair samples in Cooper's seat: a single strand of limb hair on the seat, and a single strand of brown Caucasian head hair on the headrest. The limb hair was destroyed after the FBI Crime Laboratory determined the sample lacked enough unique microscopic characteristics to be useful. the limb hair possesses too few unique microscopic characteristics to be of value.  However, the FBI Crime Laboratory determined the head hair was suitable for future comparison, and preserved the hair on a microscope slide. During their attempts to build Cooper's DNA profile in 2002, the FBI discovered the hair sample had been lost.

Cigarette butts​

In the armrest ashtray of seat 18-E, FBI agents found eight Raleigh filter-tipped cigarette butts. The butts were sent to the FBI Crime Laboratory. The Laboratory is also requested to examine the ashtray contents and specifically process any Raleigh filter tip cigarette butts for possible fingerprint identification or comparison, but investigators were unable to find fingerprints and returned the butts to the Las Vegas field. No latent prints of value developed contents of ashtray. In 1998, the FBI sought to extract DNA from the cigarette butts, but discovered the butts had been destroyed while in the custody of the Las Vegas field office.

A chute can be shelter or cloak . Even both.

I wonder how well he stuck the landing. It could affect the next move.

Considering the time of year and the kind of country he parachuted into, I'd put money on some hunter or hiker eventually finding a skeleton and a parachute hanging in a tree.

It was 1971. Communications weren't nearly as quick then as they are now.
