And how they also fucked up the investigation by future proofing it for him. Dan Cooper (that's what he wrote his name as) smoked several cigarettes and kept the butts on the plane, and he had several drinks and... they just threw away the stir sticks he used and also the cigarette butts, hence foiling any attempts to get dna down the line.

Some cases from the 70s and even 60s were solved because some DNA survived on evidence collected. But that was impossible for this case since none were saved.

DB Cooper was Loki, they revealed it in Season 2

Coming to the realization that proper use of free will really does open up so much in life is such a profound benefit.

You can just do shit.

To quote Edward Fox's character in The Day of the Jackal... it can be done with enough time and planning... the problem is getting away with it.

It was obviously Tommy Wiseau, how else did he get the money to make his hit movie The Room.

[–] watson@lemmy.world 53 points 16 hours ago

I still think that this is the most entertaining theory. Tommy Wiseau does, too.

No body found means that he’s still up there somewhere

They say 1 out of 10 people don't even make it to the ground

Doing a DB Pooper

The leading theory is he was a CIA operative, because jumping from the rear stairs like that was something they did in the field.

And the leading theory was he survived, because there was a copycat crime, which worked until the guy was caught on the ground, with the cash.

It just gets crazier the deeper you go.

The weather was terrible for a jump. Nobody who had training would have tried it.

He almost certainly died in the jump.

He also made an offhand comment about the airline, and that suggests a revenge motive.

But you have heard of me?

Damn, I saw some guy on YouTube last year going through the parachutes harnesses in a barn of a deceased suspect (with permission) and he found the chute while talking to the camera. Was just turning over over on vest at a time in a box and stopped and said "this is it, we found it."

I think the tape said they turned it over to the FBI? Anyone with more info?

Found the clip:

Huh.

Here’s a Popular Mechanics article that’s exactly one year old: A Secret Parachute in the FBI’s Possession May Have Finally Solved D.B. Cooper’s Identity

And here’s the FBI’s web page over it, which notes they diverted resources to other investigations in 2016, but specifically names McCoy as a favored suspect: D.B. Cooper Hijacking

As far as updates go? I only have sardonic comments about what the FBI is to these days. But I don’t think they are going to work on this one anytime soon.

Thanks! That article linked to the YouTube series I was thinking of:

Sounds like he's going for views

Just think of all the crazy shit you might be able to pull off if you had cajones the size of cantaloupes.

My neighbors growing up had a sign: “what would you do if you could not fail?” …

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 41 minutes ago

I decline to answer that question on grounds it might incriminate me.
