40 years later, new evidence emerges in D.B. Cooper case

[IDemo]

By Chris Ingalls, KING 5 News

This Thanksgiving marks the 40th anniversary of a legendary Northwest crime.

In 1971, skyjacker D.B. Cooper parachuted into the night sky over Washington and vanished.

Now, FBI agents have something they don’t often get in a 40-year-old criminal case: new physical evidence.

It comes from the clip-on tie Cooper left behind on the hijacked plane, NBC affiliate KING 5 News reports.

1. Interesting

This narrows down the list of places to look for D.B. Cooper's identity in a major way.

2. I wonder how many millions have been spent?

....trying to find that $200K?

3. I can't believe the Feds gave him real money in the first place!

If his crime had happened today, in this post-9/11 environment, I imagine the law enforcement response would be far different.

Crazy!

5. TSA would remove everyone from the plane under heavy security

And turn their collective lives upside down trying to connect one or more of them to the crime.

4. D.B.Cooper is with

Judge Crater, Amelia Earhardt, and others in the land of lore. Leave them be!

6. And Ambrose Bierce.

Bierce would have loved Cooper.
