I read the work done by Leftcoast and his partner who posted here for a long time, and has pased away.
They actually interviewed a guy who seemed good for it to me. They call him Ted.
They were writing or had finished a book about D.B. Cooper. Is this the book the new articles are referring to?
I would like to find a list of all living viable suspects in the case. When initials only are given, or people use nicknames, no one knows if the same person is being looked at by multiple sleuths or not.
Mostly, I hope " D. B. Cooper" is still alive, and will tell his story, possibly for a good plea deal. After all, he didn't kill his child, didn't kill or hrut anyone. ( I do feel for the plane's crew- I know at least one flight attendant has suffered emotionally). I know there was some economic impact.. But only one FBI agent was assigned to the case for many many years!!
Still and all, I think most of America would MOSTLY like to know who did it, how, and what happened to the money? If the hijacker lived well off the money, lost it during the jump, or planted that which was found?
Unless he committed other crimes which were violent in nature, I think he's probably a very old man now and it would not actually serve the ideals of justice to incarcerate him for the rest of his life, as long as he has been free.
The person who should have gone to jail, IMO, if what the two investigative writers posted is correct, wsa the FBI agent. He had to have been in on it, if their theory is correct.
