This is one of the most famous cases in American history. To some people D.B. Cooper is a criminal, but to others he is a folk hero. I watched the History Channel special on the case this week and they had some compelling evidence, but ultimately not enough to close the case.
FBI no longer investigating the D.B. Cooper case
Shawn can now travel openly in the US again.
Whew…
I was 12 years old when this happened & I’ve always been fascinated with this case. To be honest, since no one was hurt, I have always hoped that he pulled it off & landed safely!
His story definitely had a “Hollywood Movie” feel to it and though he probably didn’t make it, in my minds eye, he did and lived out his life somewhere in Mexico which he eventually worked his way south to.
KCRW’s “Unfictional” show did a piece about Cooper awhile back. Very interesting.
