He may have actually jumped a lot further south, WAY further south than assumed. The area of the (presumed) jump has been searched repeatedly and nothing of Cooper has been found, nor has any of the money turned up in circulation.
By jumping further south he could have jumped in a more open area with few trees. About 10 years ago a guy who looked about 45 with a light hair color. Said to me he was D.B. cooper.
So maybe his last name was also Cooper, and I said the skyjacker would Not survive because, the jump would be like jumping into a tornado. He said something like... Ya like jumping into Two Tornado's.
Now we are into 2026 and there are more details in
the recent article in Popular Mechanics. And the You Tuber who has shown the real suspect and why he (DB Cooper) was not charged.
