I’m surprised Uliss is entertaining this idea that it’s from Cooper. There’s no way a sheet would be intact so many years later, especially with Washington’s harsh weather. He just continues to lose credibility with me. He’s becoming like those Yahoos on Oak Island.An interesting find but although it has been identified as a very old sheet, a hobo may have left it there in fairly recent times (not 50 years ago)? I suspect if Cooper had dropped it there in 1971 it would have perished long ago.
TY! Unsolved for 52 years. The researcher names a possible suspect who died in 2002. From the link:New evidence discovered in D. B. Cooper skyjacking case
A microscopic metal fragment found on the tie of infamous plane hijacker D. B. Cooper could help reveal his true identity.www.fox13seattle.com
It would be nice to see a photo of Vince Petersen from that time.Informative article, 52 years since after the hijack of Northwest Orient flight.

All these years.........Still so much fun.
How many bars across the country are named "DB Coopers". Many!
--Bourbon & 7-Up is an unusual drink combo, right? Someone knows someone that may enjoy that type of drink as their preferred adult beverage.
Perhaps too far-fetched, but did he ride a bike to the airport? Anything is possible. Opinion only!IMHO the "evidence" that VP was definitely DB Cooper is shaky & far-fetched, at best.
Good question as to how Cooper actually got to the airport. I.e., it's unlikely that he drove his own vehicle/car there & then abandoned this in a parking lot - since, I'm sure he knew that they would examine the cars that weren't picked up at that airport after the crime occurred. That being said, I wonder if he drove & parked a car @ the airport that wasn't registered to him, so they couldn't trace it back to his actual name?!
Maybe he did take a taxi or some form of public transportation to the airport. If he used a taxi, I can see how someone could have specifically remembered him - given that a taxi typically isn't taking large groups of people around (unless they're together). However, if he used public transport (i.e., a bus) - there's a good chance he wouldn't have been easily remembered & just faded into the crowd/background.

Decades ago, at a D.B.Cooper's in a university town in a Midwestern state, Bourbon&7 was known as, you guessed it, a D.B Cooper.
Don't ask me how I know....
jmho ymmv lrr
Did you know why at that time??? ha ha!!!!
Someone knows something:
-- That someone gave Dan Cooper a ride to the airport.
--Someone did not get a call from Dan Cooper around the Thanksgiving holiday or Christmas for that matter. Unless, of course he made the jump…perhaps he did?
--Bourbon & 7-Up is an unusual drink combo, right? Someone knows someone that may enjoy that type of drink as their preferred adult beverage.
--Did Dan smoke Raleigh cigarettes on a regular basis?
--While composing the sketch from multiple eyewitnesses, a flight attendant makes mention that the composite is a very close resemblance to the hijacker and another flight attendant, said the hijacker would be easily recognized from this sketch, meaning the revision of Composite B. This is the composite shown most often.
--So why isn’t Dan wearing a bow tie in this composite? Why a necktie instead?
--Why no one recognized him from the sketch?
--- It's been over 52 years!
Where is the note he handed to the flight attendant- where is the briefcase with two rows of four red cylinders (flight attendant assumed were dynamite).
I believe Dan Cooper may possibility have been a veteran of the Air Force- he was familiar with McChord AFB location being a 20 minute or so drive from Sea-Tac Airport. He claimed (to the flight attendant) to have a grudge, so it would be interesting to know if FBI, etc. ever looked into whether someone (at the time) recently had some sort of grudge with the USAF. He had no grudge against NW airlines - that flight suited his needs, he told the flight attendant - So why did that particular flight suit Dan's needs?
Dan’s disposition pleasant; however, he became upset when the flight attendant asked him where he was from. Why would that topic upset him?
Perhaps Dan wanted to commit suicide and decided to go out in the most extreme way?
Only spitballing and moo
