DB Cooper Case Solved


After 40 years, the FBI says it has finally solved the DB Cooper case and considers it closed. I think they are just saying that because it is the 40th anniversary and they thought it would look really nice for the press. I say this because the evidence is really flimsy. This is basically the same story I wrote about earlier in the year, but with a few more details. When a woman was 8 years old, her uncle came to visit for Thanksgiving which was the day after the skydive and the uncle was badly injured. He said it was because of a car accident. Her parents believed he was the famous criminal who stole $200K and jumped out of a plane. She said the guilt burned away at her for 40 years. Why? It is not like she was living on the money. He didn't tell her he was the guy. She never saw him again after that day but was told by her parents that he died in 1999. The woman, Marla Copper said she gave an identification and a guitar strap to the FBI so they could test it for fingerprints. Good luck with that. (Thanks Gladys)
