When would the statute of limitation for a crime like this be over? If Cooper were still alive couldn't he make a deal with the authorities?
Geoffrey Gray, a journalist who has contributed to The Times and who wrote the 2011 book on the investigation, “Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper,” said in an article published after the F.B.I. announcement this week that the case was legally still open.
He said it had initially been deemed a case of air piracy, a felony that carried a statute of limitations of five years. However, a grand jury indicted the hijacker in absentia for violating the Hobbs Act, another federal statute aimed to prevent extortion that carried no statute of limitations.
“In theory, if Cooper were to walk out of the woods today, he could theoretically be charged with a crime,” he wrote.

A former FBI agent and his volunteer crew of sleuths have uncovered what they believe is “potential evidence” in the famous D.B. Cooper cold case.
Thomas Colbert, a TV and film executive who helped pull the group of investigators together, told Fox News the team discovered “what appears to be a decades-old parachute strap” in the Pacific Northwest.
Colbert, who runs DBcooper.com and has co-authored a book on the matter, filed a federal lawsuit aimed at obtaining federal documents on Cooper just a few months after the FBI announced it would no longer actively investigate the case in July 2016.
He told Fox the files gave credence to a tip they received, leading them to the new evidence. They found the strap “right where a credible source claimed the chute and the remaining money are buried,” Colbert explained.
