WA WA - D.B. Cooper Hijacking Mystery, 24 Nov 1971 #4

[CaMan60]

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.

I don't think there's a chance in hell that he survived. It would just be interesting to know who he was. What matter of man could outwit the sophisticated, yet perpetually incompetent US government, and why?

The old saying goes "where there's smoke, there's fire". In this case there is a smoke screen of Misinformation to get through.
The idea of him jumping over a forest doesn't make sense. And we know the plane was going to land once for refueling before making the trip to Mexico. So he could have held off on making the jump until it was safe to jump. Because "It's Not Jumping that will kill ya It's the landing"

So you’re saying that the information about when he jumped is in fact misinformation?

Yes, Because he got... away. A simple search online is showing a mountain of information in this case.
One solid clue is the money found by a Youth in the sand on the banks of the river. It came from the plane and we know DB Cooper removed some money from the ( Duffel money bag ) showed it to crew members and put it under his jacket.
So when the plane was crossing the river a bundle fall out, landed in the river and was uncovered 9 years later.
The location where he jumped must have been planned for. Through observing the lights of the city and towns he knew
when to jump. Since the plane was on a flight path.
This opinion is IMHO.

The FBI has a pretty good idea where he jumped based on the “bump” of the airplane and it was over the flat farmland/pasture north of Vancouver Wa. A dead body would have been found quickly but none was; DB survived and got clean away. The found on the riverside; two bundles of bills right next to each other, could not have been there as a result of natural drift. Someone put them there. Has there been a lot of official Misinformation? Very possible but official sources are all we have to go on.

Okay this is good information. Some writers implied he was jumping into darkness over heavily wooded areas. The flight path maps do show him over farmland areas.
With all the planning that went into the skyjack he must have picked the time and place to jump so that he could "safely" land on the ground with the money. Can we question the "bump" from a 200lb man exiting a 3 jet engines airliner. The area south of Vancouver Wa. over Oregon also has farmland with many city and towns lights for checking location before jumping at night with mild weather.
Add MOO and IMHO

That was the ONLY money ever recovered. The rest never made it into circulation. The serial numbers were distributed worldwide yet none have ever been detected by any bank or ATM machine, which records serial numbers in order to detect fraud and counterfeiting.
