Legendary Hi-Jacker DB Cooper (Bull or What) ?

 

What We Know (and Don’t Know)

• The FBI never found Cooper. After he parachuted from the plane in November 1971 with $200,000, he vanished. The FBI conducted extensive searches involving aircraft, ground teams, and even underwater searches, but turned up minimal evidence. The only tangible lead came in 1980, when a young boy found about $5,800 from the ransom along the Columbia River.

• The investigation ended in 2016. After 45 years and more than 1,000 suspects evaluated, the FBI officially closed the case, citing lack of credible leads. They preserved evidence like Cooper’s tie and remaining cash for historical record.

• No proof of cover-up. Some letters and artifacts affiliated with the case have raised eyebrows—like correspondence allegedly from Cooper or unique parachute pieces—but none support claims of a cover-up. Critics point to secrecy around some of this evidence, but there’s no concrete proof that the government concealed Cooper’s identity or fate.

• New leads continue to emerge—but no resolution yet.

  • Richard McCoy Jr.: A strong suspect, given his strikingly similar 1972 hijacking, died in a shootout in 1974. Recently, McCoy’s children claimed a parachute found in their family home belonged to Cooper, and the FBI has apparently accepted the item—and even explored DNA testing.

  • Forensic analysis: Latest FBI files revealed unusual elements on Cooper’s tie, like titanium and bismuth—suggesting he may have worked in aerospace or electronics industries—but this hasn’t cracked the case.

  • Ongoing investigative theories: Individuals like Eric Ulis continue to push for DNA analysis from the tie’s fibers, while others explore alternate drop zones based on recalculated flight data.

So… Cover-up? No credible evidence. Found? No. The case remains one of America’s most enduring mysteries. NOT REALLY ! Update Below...  😎👍
